Tonight I spoke to a friend who is very troubled. I realised that whilst I could empathise with the fact that they were distressed I could not really get inside their head or know the place that they were in. What do you say to someone that just wants to die? I haven’t got a clue. So I listened and made various inane comments and realised how totally useless I being unable to effect anything. I hope that they can find a way home…
