Tell her that you love her as a friend and if there is anything you can do to help. Trust me i thought about sucide and that helped me when my friend said that to me and made me feel loved. Tell her you don't wanna do this just think of all the people you will meat later on in your life and there r so many thing to look forward to. I hope this helped you and i wanna wish you the best of luck

Just reassure him that you love him, and what would you do without him, leave it at that, and he may realize that he not only hurt himself. he needs professional help, and needs to know that know one is worth suicide, why dint people realize this???? if they can so freely love you one minute, and then as quick change their minds, they are not worth it, especially if over a new person in their life, and the pattern may continue, he should have realized, it is not worth it. i hope he Will recover without too much damage..good life...........

Dear Looking For..,\n There are many selfish people in the world that think 'if you are their friend you can have no other friends.' These people are insecure and they're probably some of the most depressing people you could choose to be around. Your 'suicide thoughts' might be because of this person is making you feel trapped and posessed by them (her). I advise you to get away from her and make new friends. She can grow up and except it or be lonely, but don't let her bring you down anymore! You aren't her property! \n\n If you have anymore suicide thoughts, Honey, go talk to your Mom or your school counselor, because you may need medicine to help you with depression. \n I wish you happiness and many new friends.\n           Hope_I_Helped!

Talk to someone....call a free help line. Talk to someone before doing something drastic. Suicide is a selfish choice - look at all those that you would leave behind. I strongly urge you to talk to someone...give it a shot. It takes no effort to make a call.

If he is talking suicide, then you need to get him help. You could call the cops in the area were he lives to go get him and take him to a local ER. The ER doc will evaluate him and committ him if needed. I hope the best for the both of you.

First of all, remember suicide is a way too permanent answer to very temporary problems.  Your feelings will pass.  Your life is precious to many, and particularly to the One who created you.  Try God!  Really. . . pray.  \n\nSecond, don't be alone right now.  If you have someone you can call or visit, do it!  If you can't think of anyone, call a helpline. . .there are people out there who KNOW what you're going through and they care.  \n\nFinally, realize everything happens for a reason.  Like I just said, there are people who have been where you are, and they've survived to help others. . .you could be learning the hard way so you can help others one day.  There IS hope.  No matter how dark the night may seem, there is light, and morning will come.

There will be a police report of the incident, however if she was not taken in or treated for depression, or sent for a psychological evaluation, it will state in the police report that all was ok and it was just a concerned boyfriend who made the call. She won't have "suicidal maniac" stamped on her criminal record or anything- lay this to rest and quit worrying about it.

She thinks you are bluffing it.\nIf you feel like killing yourself call a suicide prevention line

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.

I gather from your details that this has actually happened. In truth, there are a lot of signs that can tell you that this might happen, however, there are many times that the person doesn't really exhibit the signs & just does it. I don't know how well I'll do this but I'll try to explain:\n\nI've read studies that say that, if a person wants to be stopped from committing suicide they will do things to tip off their friends & family but, if a person really does want to do it, they just do.\n\nI don't know how much weight I give to this theory, however, in every situation that I have had a relatively close perspective on, the person in question went in one of these two directions. In two of the cases, no one was aware of any problems & there had never been any outward sign of depression.\n\nWhat makes it hard for the friends left behind is that, as a friend, you feel like you didn't do something that you should have to be there for her as a friend when, in fact, there may not have been anything that you *could* have done to help. No matter how hard you try, you can't make someone better or happier if they don't wish to be so.\n\nThis may not help you much but I can share something from my own life that might serve as a corrallary to what you are going through. My father passed away at only 52 from a massive coronary. He'd been back & forth to the doctor from years & been told what he needed to do & not do but he just wouldn't listen. He was remarried with two boys but I - his only natural child - was the only one he ever confided in about doctor's visit, not feeling well & such. Well, when he died, I knew I'd done my best to get him to take care of himself but, after ten years of living with his death, I finally realized that he just didn't want to give up those things that made him happy. I could cajole, complain, nag & beg but I couldn't make him realize that his long life was worth giving up some things. It made me realize that we really can;t force someone to do anything because, if they truly want something they will find a way to get it, even behnd your back. Unfortunately, this is just the way life is & sometimes you can't help someone.\n\nIn your case, it sounds like she didn;t want to be here for some reason & felt so strongly about it that she took care of the issue herself. There probably weren't really any signs to see or else her parents would likely picked up on something as well. You said she seemed to have it all together; you might have been seeing exactly what she wanted you to see. You can't beat yourself up over it - though we always do when we grieve - if she didn't give you any signs then there was really nothing you could have done.\n\nGood luck & be gentle with yourself through this time...

First let me just say Suicide is never the answer... No matter what the question is.  When people come close, or actually commit suicide, they are at what they think is the emotional low point of their lives.  Their thinking is so clouded by depression, and despair, that they fail to see the actual truth... No matter how low a person feels, somebody out there cares about that person.  I know at one time, I had considered ending my own life, For reasons still unknown to me, I did not do it, I got professional help.  That therapy showed me that no matter how low you may get, there is always something to live for.  \n\nI am terribly sorry you lost a friend to suicide.  Even though you may hold a bit of anger with him for ending his own life, and effecting so many others in a bad way, try to forgive him.  True what he did could be considered a selfish move, But, when it comes right down to it, his decision to end his own life was not made with a clear head.  All you can do is pray for him, and hope he has gone on to a better place.  Also, you can pay attention to how your friends react to this event... If any of them show signs of deep depression, or suicidal thoughts, be sure to let somebody know about it, and try to suggest they seek help. We would not want this terrible event to ever happen again.\n\nYou will be in my prayers... God Bless!

My son, who is age 16, didn't go as far as your friend did. He just recently got out of a special hospital here that deals with this type of situation. I honestly know how you feel, but mine goes deeper because it was my son. His depression started when he lost his best friend to suicide, and I've been helping him try to cope with this, it happened in March. Then, the next thing I knew, we went for a regular checkup at the doctor's office. And then I heard him say he tried to cut his hand off when he was at his dad's house, but a neighbor stopped him. That's when the doctor put him in the hospital. Now, he is on medication to deal with his depression. We both get counseling together with a therapist and separately we see different psychiatrists to help us both cope with everything. You don't say exactly how you caused him to flip out and get depressed again. But, I have learned that I wasn't the blame for my sons actions. I felt that it was my fault, that I had said the wrong thing to make him upset. He was depressed from not only his best friend committing suicide, he was getting pressure to do things from friends his age, alot of things was building up inside his mind that he couldn't cope with the world around him. Your friend may have already had problems built up inside that whatever you said may have just triggered past emotions. Not what you had said in that moment of time. You mentioned that everyone cuts ourselves, I'm sure that you meant that when we peel potatoes or apples, that sometimes we may cut our finger by accident. We don't purposely do it. The best advice I can give you is to stand by your friend because he needs all the support you can give him. I'm sure the doctors will give him medication to help his depression. It may take time for the meds to work, but you seem to like your friend very much. Even if you can go to a support group, which several places have free support groups to help cope with your friends depression and it may help you understand that it isn't your fault. Good Luck and if you need to talk to someone, you can get to my email by clicking my name. The email address is hidden.

hmmm...sounds like a suicide attempt. I  wanted to ignore your post, but I want to tell you, there's counselors in almost every community.  \nSeek help and don't slice that wrist.

Well...it is good that the person has stopped complaining. I don't know what the situation is, but people should never thank that there is no hope because that is not true. The only time there is no hope is if we dwell on the problem and don't do anything to resolve the problem. \n\nThere is always hope. Your support is always helpful. Let her know that you care and are concerned for her. \n\nI would also suggest that she go get some counseling because often times, when people lose hope, they start to think about suicide. \n\nKeep in mind, you can tell her anything you can think of to tell her, but it is strictly up to her to break that spell that is binding her. \n\nBe positive. Don't offer pity because she will just thrive on that and it makes the problem worse. Be empathetic though. Let her know you understand the problem and you understand how she feels, but she just has to get up and get moving and stop feeling so sorry for herself and I would also recommend recommending counseling to her.
