Friend thats suicidal. HELP ASAP!!!?

Question

My friend is highly depressed. And has been for a while. she's talking about suicide, and she's saying no one can help her. Im telling her to go to counseling [sp]. Her family doesnt like her. Her bf broke up [there has been many problems]. She's going through a lot of ****. Ive been trying to help her for a while. She says that if she went to a dr, they would put her in an insane asylum [sp again]. She's going over the edge. She doesnt want anyone to help her. She hates herself.

What do I do =[

Answer 1

Tell her to call a suicide hotline to talk to a Professional about how she is feeling.

OR you can call the numbers yourself. These people are Professionals, they can help you more than we can.

Answer 2

tell her that whether she thinks so or not, many ppl in this world love her. you need to constantly keeep can eye on her, you dont want her to do anything drastic. sign her up for therapy, tell the school counselor, anything. the worst mistake you can make is not telling anyone. you will regret it.  

Answer 3

tell someone like an adult or the police because what if something happened and you wished you had?

Answer 4

i have the same problem . my bestfriend has actually attempted to kill herselff with a knife and starrted tieinq her ties .

maybe you can tell her that noone should ever stress over a quy and that thinqs like this are qoinq to happen all the time , and its life .

and maybe you can talk to her family [ ? ] .. whatever works .

just try and help her as much as you can . and dont ever put yourself down in the lonq run if somethinq happens to her , all you can do is be there for herr !!

Answer 5

call a non-emergency 911 and ask for help. or just listen to your friend and see whats up and if theres anyway you can help.  

Answer 6

Talk to an adult that you trust.  Someone should talk to her parents, so they can get her help.  She might not like you for interfering, but at least she'll be alive to be mad at you.  

Answer 7

whatever u do..dont clal police, they'll make it worst and she'll just kill herself faster. lol

all u can do is to talk...she can only change herself./..mfirst of all, she should listen to happy songs =)

i know it doesnt seem like it'll work..but yea..it will..sllloowwwlllyyyyy

it worked for me...

last year i was superrrr emo and depressed all the time, suicidal & cut myself everyday....between classes, lunch, recess...

i wore all black..even when it was hot...

i wrote suicide notes & poetry...listened to emo songs that made me more depressed...

i still where all black, but when im pissed i listen to happy songs...

i run (yea. i joined cross country, soccer & track...helped me get my anger out...and believe me..im the worst on the team but that doesnt stop me)

i write in a diary & blog about my feelings...i dont cut...but i draw all over myself...like with pen from my feet to my arms & chest, ect.

i send text messages to myself if ppl ignore me...i edit my myspace profile depending on how i feel. i make suicidal notes...then cut it up, and throw them away. i write notes to ppl that hurt me..but dont send it.

then i listen to happy songs.

if u want to know a good site...tell her go to kccnfm100.com

it had lots of songs i listen on the radio...but i guess u dont have those songs...since im in hawaii. lol ---its a raggae/hawaiian site...that cheers me up.

((i like "life time lover"))

make sure she DOESNT listen to emo music...it'll make her worst

and yea...make sure she doesnt cut herself...she cant write on herself with red marker on something...

Answer 8

... i cant answer this question..........

maybe you should talk to her and say that shouldnt do anything thing she CANT regret

Answer 9

dont leave her alone keep talking to her and have her list things that good about her and encourage her to think about all Thar amazing things she can do with her future and if that donst help call a suiside hotline and if she wont talk to them YOU SHOULD ask ask them what to do asap

Answer 10

Ok my sister has deppression. My mom was freaking out because she started drawing suicide pictures and writing it everwhere. She took her to a psychiatrist and put her on mediciation. My sister now takes "happy" pills and she is just fine. Whatever you do though, try to make your friend happier. If she doesn't want to go to the doctor take her to like a water park or just have a talk with her. If she breaks down, that is good because it is a release. Good Luck.

with consern.

Answer 11

Tell her she can see a councillor that no one has to know about and one who definately will not send her to a mental institution.

Just say things like this councillor will not do everything in your life or physically change it but they can give you some advice to head in the right direction.

I know this sounds harsh but the only one who can change another person's life is themselves.

So maybe be supportive and say something like.

Do one thing a day take one step a day.

It is very hard but one step a day for many days can improve things in your life amazingly.

That is my opinion hope it helps.

Answer 12

STAY WITH HER!

Make her feel like your freind

Answer 13

Talk to her about everything.  And I would strongly suggest you get someone to help her, like a guidance counsler so they know how to help her and get her help.  They can give her medication to help her depression.  

Answer 14

Tell someone which has the power to help her. Social ect.

There are places which can help you & your friend.

Things can get better for you and her. You've been great to stick by her.

Last year 3 close family members tried to take there own lives within 3 months. It turned there lives upside down and also ours. Now there all pulling through & one is even pregnant with twin girls.

Just goes to show how things can inprove.

Best of wishes

Answer 15

tell her that there r a lot of people that care about her, and that if she left they would be devastated. ask her to sleep over at ur house and talk some sense into her. call a councilor and ask them what to do or call the non emergency 911 number and ask them what to do. but help her and fast

Answer 16

Call 911 and point out the things in her life to appreciate.
