Like everything in life....there's no strict right or wrong here IMHO.
Personally, during the last year or so, since I became very depressed
and not even the shadow of my former self, I preferred to alienate
people I used to like hanging around with.

It may seem kinda awkward behavior, but for me, once I couldn't make
people laugh or enjoy, and since I couldn't be myself no more , so I
preferred to avoid being among them as the *dark odd fellow*.

Also, for practical reasons, as a part of preparing to die, my personal
POV is, that it would be easier to disconnect in advance, as to avoid
the heartaches from both ends, and also to make sure nobody plays the
hero rescuer all of a sudden, even if out of good will and vibes.

As for this particular friend of yours Pixie, it really depends how
close is he to you.I would not like people to see some private stuff
about the way I lived my life the last year or so and to be remembered
in the light of those things.But it's a personal decision of course.

And... last but not least,if the fellow is suicidal, whatever you do
should be reconsidered in the light of this fact.

John
