Any suggestions on dealing with more frequent jokes about suicide? Lately my pwBPD has made more off hand comments about hanging himself, shooting himself, jumping off a cliff. A certain amount is expected it seems with NPD/BPDs but it is hard since they won't look at things from another perspective and everything is the end of the world or specifically attacking them. Mostly this is because he has had setbacks on a car he has just bought (unexpected repairs), fedex/usps not delivering when he expects them to, and annoying co-workers. Is it better to just to listen with empathy and validate his feelings, or actually say I am worried, and if he has considered talking to someone (like a therapist)?
