I've recently learned that a person I go to school with is depressed and has attempted suicide twice. His family knows of his illness and he goes to therapy but no one else is supposed to know. I don't know if I should I reach out to him and if so what I would say since I am not supposed to know about any of this. I am so so worried he will try to kill himself again and I couldn't handle the guilt of having not said anything. I have one class with him but I don't think he even knows my name. I have no idea how to tell him that I have also have dealt with suicidal thoughts and that I'm always here to talk without coming across as strange considering I've never talked to him before.
