The default internet disclaimer is to tell the person to seek professional help. If you don't have health insurance and can't speak to get an appointment with a psychologists there are services such as the Suicide Prevention Lifeline that you can call in the US under 1-800-273-8255.
If she generally doesn't feel good about having a discussion but would be willing to have a discussion if a life is at stake than it makes sense to word the disclaimer in a way where someone who's seriously thinking about suicide sees that she addresses the issue but someone who isn't seriously thinking about it, thinks it's a casual remark.
