My friend tried to kill herself?!
Question: Is there anyway I can put her in the hospital? She is 19 and has no family. She hates herself. She cuts herself. She won't stop because she does not think she has a problem. She has been cutting since she was 14. She told me a few days ago she overdosed trying to end it all.

Call the hospital and find out what you can do. She needs help ASAP. I'm not sure if you can force her to go. Talk to her and tell her you love her. I'm sorry about your friend. I know what you're going threw. My friend used to cut and almost killed herself.
Yes she can be forced into a hospital if she attempted suicide. She is an immediate danger to herself. Call the hospital right now. Don't hesistate. Give them her address, once they say they are going to get her - don't call her or give her a heads up (she is more likely to attempt again). If you can, sit with her and talk about "normal" things until help arrives.
I'm serious. Call right NOW.
call 911 next time,some hospitals will admit you into a clinic that can help with that type of problem.
you need to contact a mentall illness hotline asap try this # it the national suicide hotline 1-800-273-8255
If there's an authoritative figure in her life, definitely tell her about her destructive behavior. Also try to explain to her that her behavior isn't helping problems and maybe suggest getting help, either a doctor, school counselor, or psychiatrist. Don't be condescending or make it seem like she's crazy...she's not, she's just hitting a rough patch. If she has other close friends besides you, get them all together and approach her as a group, but not too many...you don't want to overwhelm her. I'd try to talk to her one on one first and then bring in some family, such as aunts/uncles, etc. Most of all, make sure you let her know that you're there for her a friend and you'll do anything to help her...don't make her feel like you want to lock her up in some hospital or that her problems don't seem important to you. Help build her confidence and get her involved in extra-curricular activities. Like, intramural sports, clubs, dances, going to parties, church groups, etc.GOOD LUCK!
I'm so sorry. Please call 911. and maybe they can put her some place where she can't hurt herself.
Always let her know that you are there for her if she need s you. Let her know that you love her and that Jesus loves her.
It is likely your friend has a Borderline Personality Disorder.
You will find many resources on the Internet and perhaps links to some actual support services nearby. If you intend helping your friend inform yourself on the disorder. You chances of being of real help to her is slim and your chances of becoming an emotional train wreck are high.
call 911 save her!!!
call 911 they can put her on a 5150 hold (like Britney Spears was on) and they will have 72 hours to hold her involuntarily to evaluate her. she may be mad at you at first but i would rather have someone mad at me then dead
Leave the authorities out of it; it's her life, not yours.
Edit: I guess there are still people who don't truly believe it's her life. Society is so brainwashed.
