No, I'm not saying don't say anything, I'm saying Id' start out with affirming their pain and go from there and not try to talk them out of how they are feeling. I'd acknowledge their pain.

I am sorry that you are feeling suicidal. You are a very sensitive person and empathetic, that makes you feel pain perhaps more keenly than other people. Suicide may stop your pain, it may not. Few reliable witnesses have returned from death to tell us how it all worked out. A lot of unsuccessful suicides have reported instant regret during their plummets from bridges, etc.

Your feelings of despair are real, there are ways to make those feelings retreat, you are taking steps.

Consider that what you are enduring at work is really a form of torture, your response is natural.

When you are free of that environment I bet you will begin to feel much better.
