I'm not going to talk to my recent ex when he's suicidal
Why don't you want to ask him about it?
I don't want to hear his cries about self-harm. He is probably lying.
You shouldn't ignore a suicidal person's cries for help. He needs help and you should be there for your ex.
He doesn't need help, he doesn't do things like this. He is just itching for attention.
It might not just be for attention though. Don't you think the safe thing is to just talk to him so he doesn't self harm?
