For Billy: Suicide Prevention Help https://988lifeline.org/

On a Thanksgiving many years ago, my friend Billy called me . He was so depressed. I tried my best to help him but didn't understand how dangerous his depression was.

He killed himself about a month later. It haunts me to this day. I think of him and that long ago Thanksgiving and wish I had known how to help him.

If you are depressed and are thinking of suicide, please call 988.
