A lot of times people will say "if you need to talk, message me" and that's great but only part of it. Check on your friends who aren't doing so hot. Please be proactive for them if you can. If they are struggling, help them with their burden. Don't put it on them to come to you.
I've struggled with suicidal thoughts and I tried to kill myself a couple weeks ago. I didn't want to reach out. People reached out to me and that made me feel better. I thought no one cared about me, but someone did.
I still think most days that no one cares, so I try to just say hi and reach out to people that said they're struggling. I know that feeling and how deep the pain goes, so I try to make an effort. Say hi. Treat them like normal people. It makes a difference.
