Can/Should a suicidal person make new friends?

TLDR : should a suicidal person make new friends? / how can a suidical person make new friends?

I have no contact with an abusive family, one distant highschool friend who lives in an opposite time zone(I’m 25f), and a therapist.

I’ve spent most of my life filling the loneliness with bad relationships and fwb, even with a solid friend group. But now I am very solitary and actively trying to make good choices, and my attempts recently to casually date have revealed that I have little to talk about besides being depressed and suicidal, so I end up being very quiet and seeming uninterested/boring/etc.

Personally I don’t know if I’d pursue a friendship much less a romantic relationship with someone who’s conversations were 70% depression/suicide focused, and it feels like shouldn’t be seeking out NEW relationships specifically right now. even if loneliness is a big part of why I feel this way in the first place.

Should I try to meet and build connections with new people? Or just keep to myself and my therapist? If yes to the first, any tips?
