your friend should try being single for awhile...and if she doesn't like him then she shouldn't have gone out with him in the first place even if she was trying to be nice...that's just mean

You know sometimes many people go through this phase of life when they don't want to let go.  But it is unhealthy to just sit and weep over something that is gone and will not return.  Maybe he needs a little help with his situation.  You are his friend, talk with him and let him know how is devastation is bringing everyone else down.

Mate,take it from a girl,dont dive in there,she needs some space and time, since she just got dumped,shes probably not interested getting herself in another relationship,just yet.\nBe there for her as much as you can, but at the same time dont crowd her too much.\nAs they say, you cant swim until youve learned how to float steadily.

Oh my goodness that is horrible tell him how important he is to you as a friend and doing that will not only upset you but crush you completely . Hang out with him and get to know why would he feel he needs to take those actions . Be his support line or seek higher support this is serious.

just be supportive. Give her a hug and tell her you will be there for her.  If she is over 18, you should strongly suggest she get help, and tell her you will be there for her every step of the way. If she is under 18, you should do the same, but if she refuses, you should tell an adult. She needs help you cannot give her. All you can give her is support and friendship.

You should talk with your friend about the situation...if you aren't doing anything to provoke the situation then you shouldn't worry but I would definitely encourage you to talk with your friend.

Well then the only thing to do is just be there for you friend even if she doesn't want to listen to you. She's going to get hurt, and she's going to regret not listening to you. Your already a good friend by worrying and trying to tell her to leave him, but be there for her anyway. Be there because she's going to need you, once she  opens her eyes. So just be there for her.

dont push her in any direction... that will only raise a question of what your priority is.  the best thing to do is be there.  you cant help her, hold her, or save her if your not there bro.....  good luck

So, this person was hospitalized and made it out alive?\nWhat he told you is heavy. Please tell someone.It's too much for anyone to handle alone.\nYour friend is looking for help, and trusts you. You'll be glad you did. It's the right thing to do. Good Luck.

You need help and you are trying to help her but if you don't find that inner strength to stop feeling quilty she is going to drown and take you with her. I don't know what is all at stake here or enough about the situation but you are going to have to find some strength to go to more than just Yahoo and asking for help. You may have to be really tough and be mother again. You may even may end up taking grandkids and leaving her to do what she has too.

Call the police and warn the person whose life is in danger,assuming it's not you. Then keep your distance from\nthe person in question,he/she obviously has problems.

ask other people to help you.\nher parents ?\nher priest ?\n\na social worker ?\n\nI know it's not easy and you want to be a good friend but sometimes it's very hard.\n\nRemember the old saying ?\nyou can lead a horse to water but you can not make it drink.\nYou can tell her, but she has to help herself.\n\nAsk others to help you

Well... it sounds like there isn't anything you can do!!! If she wants to "dumb" for him, it's all up to her to relize it's time to get smart!!! She really isn't asking for your help in this because if she really wanted help, she would take your advise. Just be that ear for her. And if you feel like you don't want to be friends anymore, still be there, but keep her at a distance.

Is he afraid of slipping in the tub, maybe? Can you make it safer in there by putting sticky things on the bottom or a chair in the tub? (hey, it's like a sponge bath b/c he can sit down but be under running water--neato, eh?).\n\nIs there a lady friend or wife who can help him bathe? Or maybe a very close friend or a brother? \n\nHey, if all else fails, there are outdoor showers at pools and at the beach, and it is summertime. And he's used soap, all he needs is the running water (not trying to be sarcastic, just thinking of the situation and what might work).

okay, I'm not the best person to ask but, i personally think you should do something that would let your friend(s) see what he is doing is bad. Or you could catch him doing something wrong, and if those are your real friends, tell them and they should believe you.

If as you say everything has gone back to normal, then yes, ask him. If he is your friend, he will help you if he can. If he feels he cannot then surely he will tell you so.
