My friend left her journal at my house when she spent the night?

Question

they were all really emo && like depressin!! im freakin out!!! what do i do?! what do i say to her?? and how do i give it back to her without her gettin mad?!!

heres the poems:

mistakes-

mistakes are written in the back of my head

blood from my wrists, skin starts to shed

the past still reflects from my soul

extreme feelings, outta control

sick of lust-

hand in hand, waist to waist

lips against mine, lovely taste

whisper that you love me, say that it's true

telling me "theres no no one out there but you"

how can you have trust with a loveless piece of lust?

sick of it all, i just want love

blood-

tasty, drippy, ooziness

fills my mouth with happiness

everytime it hits my lip it triggers down deep inside

makes me feel as if theres nothing to hide

bite me, cuff me, l**k me all around

when born as vampires, more blood must be found

Answer 1

yeah dont mention that you read it, but def keep an eye on her...and make her laugh, sounds like she might need it.

Answer 2

OMG, I am going to have nightmares about this one.  Don't ask her because it is personal, but look out for her because there's no great telling when she is going to commit suicide.  

Answer 3

A loving sane guy would fix that in her easily.

Answer 4

omg break up with her before she kills you..... omg...eww.......... awwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 5

first off why did you read it? a diary is personal

also i write poems like that too. only when something horrible happens like a death. so shes probably writing about that or when she loved and lost. if you DO want to confront her dont mention the poems just be like are you okay?and be comforting and ask her if anything is bothering her.

and posting friends poems on the internet? no

Answer 6

um first off, you shouldn't of read it. it is her private journal, and you had no right to read it. and to make matters worse, you posted her private poems on a website were many many many people can read it. you should delete this, i would really be pissed if my friend posted stuff from my journal on yahoo answers.

unless you have evidence that she is actually cutting herself, you can't do much. but you right, these are pretty disturbing poems, you should not be mad, but be there for her and make sure she doesnt hurt herself or stops if she is. you should tell her that you read her journal, and try to talk to her.  

Answer 7

Wow, the last one was kind of disturbing. Heck, all of them were.

Just give them back to her. And watch carefully for more clues of her being depressed. Ask her if anything is wrong that she would like to discuss.

Answer 8

okay so she's depressed..BIG TIME!..you can return it to her and be like..i was cleaning up my room and i just found this ..why don't you drop by and pick it up ..when she comes..umm..first try talking to an adult that you know is good for advice...she seems to want to be loved..Maybe you should show her how much YOU love her and need her by your side..maybe she wants a boyfriend ..umm..you could try hooking her up..i think she cuts herself..just make her happy and make her smile..and take her to places to hang out..as a past time so she doesn't become more sad..and slowly her depression will go away.

Answer 9

First of all, let me tell you that it was extremely untruthful and untrustworthy for you to read your friend's diary—a diary is a place where someone can write down their feelings and expect them to be kept only to themselves. It was wrong of you to read her personal thoughts.

Just give her the diary back. Don't tell her you read it. She would most liikely be very upset and hurt if she knew you had probed into her intermost thoughts.

Your friend might be having depression issues or she might be having issues at home and her pain and anger just comes out in the poems she's written down in her diary. Besides, words are just words—it's not likely that she really believes she's a vampire or anything. It's just how she feels inside. And you need to respect that.

She's your friend. Unless you see any signs that she's going to hurt herself or someone else, don't interefere or talk about what she's written in her diary. Don't speak of this to anyone else, either. Keep your friend's secrets as they should be—secrets.

Answer 10

I have had many friends who have had the same thoughts and emotions as the ones that your friend is displaying...actually I used to do the same thing.

Not to question your friend, but how much does she trust you...you may have to wonder if she left the poems there for you to find and read...may be she would like some feedback. Trust me she is a bit depressed, but nowhere near that level of pitch black desperation, otherwise it would be obvious...may be she does want a little attention (not in the bad way) but just for someone to notice and talk to her. Do you know any reason for her to be this way...ie; divorce, abuse, death, anything that may be stressful or out of the ordinary for her...or you.

You are a great friend for taking the time to at least ask about the journal instead of freaking out and telling everyone about her personal feelings...gauge her appearance and emotion for yourself. Is this something that can be handled with a little one on one talk, or is she in need of psychological help.

I did the same thing with one of my friends. She was extremely suicidal, and not in the attention grabbing "oh I am sad so pity me", no, she was suicidal! More accurately she was a sociopath with psychoitc tendencies. (Didn't mention any names so no one is being betrayed here.) If I hadn't intervened when I did, she could have gone and seriously hurt herself or others.

Notice, I didn't necessarily say that your friend was like this, but it is a possiblity. You will have to be the one to decide if further action needs to be taken.

Then again are you sure that she is not just emo? Emo, gothic, and depressed are all different things. If she is just emo then there isn't anything to worry about, gothic, she is still alright, depressed, not alright. Your call, thanks for your concern on her part.
