How can I help my poor friend?!

He is lucky that he has such a great friend!. You should tell him that you love him if you truly do!. Do you have feelings for him other than just friendship!? You should tell him how you feel!. Anti-depressants don't work!. They seem to just cover up the real problem!. Depression is simply "anger turned in"!. He needs to express this anger!. Some people find that physical exercise like working out is a good release!. I found that writing lyrics is good therapy!. Everybody gets depressed!. It will pass, but he will have to do something about it!. He needs to find what he is good at!. Is he athletic or artistic!? Does he have a hobby!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

First of all, please know you can't solve your friend's problem and you can't sacrifice your own well-being to try and save him!. It's not your responsibility or even in your ability to keep him from doing something terrible!. You need to understand - You alone cannot help him or save him!.

Tell your parents immediately what is happening!. Have them talk to his parents!. He needs professional help and only his parents can provide that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

the kind of help he needs can't come from you!. professional help is required!. if he suffers from depression, antidepressants and therapy will help!. if he poses a threat to himself, he needs to be somewhere that there are people EQUIPPED TO HANDLE JUST THAT SITUATION!.
you've made the first step in helping your friend!.!.!.!.!.
now just put one foot infront of the other, you know what to do!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Last year i attempted suicide but my best friend stopped me b4 it was too late!. I used to cut myself & i do have depression!. Well i would say go to a doctor with your friend as they would genuinely help!. Please try that again!. If not though, i guess be there for your friend!. Take him out of the house to go for a walk even!. It can be hard though for you to deal with this yourself so you should tell someone who you think may help!. It may seem the wrong thing to do now but in the future, it'll be worth it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

This is to be taken very seriously by a professional!. His parents should know immediately!. My God what if you say something wrong what will he do to you and himself!. He may take you with him and think that he is doing you a favor!.
Time is of the essence and because he won't go for counseling , that means he has lost his hope for help!. This could mean that its only matter of the right time and place for him to carry out what he wants to do regarding what he told you!. I would tell his parents down to the last detail of what he told you!. It's up to them to see he gets help especially if he is a minor!. The world is forever changing and you always hear of matters like this one that were over looked or shrugged off because no one took the person seriously!. By the way I'm glad you care and recognize a problem and want to help this lost soul!. God Bless you for your kindness, understanding and consideration!.!.!.!.!.!.I know it's hard!.

dood, seriously, tell him that!. when people are in a state like that u need to tell them that!. IT WOULD MEAN THE WORLD TO THEM! trust me i know!. just hearing that will stop him, and give him something to live for ya know!? u have to have to have to say that he means alot to you!. When you say that to a person it makes a huge difference!. and u just gotta have alot of patience and give them boundries kinda!. my friend had a somewhat similar problem, and she started to quit what she was doing, and i told her i was proud of her!. she had never been so extactic in her entire life!. it meant the world to her!. so tell him that and do the best u can to be there for him!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you could try writing him a letter!. Ultimately he will have to decide about getting help, and realistically there is nothing you can do to help him- but you can support him and tell him how much you love him!. It might help to list the things you like about him and get him to try and do the same about his friends, and then himself!. Talking is always good but be careful it doesn't hurt you- people with depression can be mean and hurtful when they don't really mean it!. The Samaritans are excellent!. He can email them if he can't talk!.

If you can get him to go to his GP- go with him, then they can probably get him some talking therapy and maybe meds to help make him feel better!.

I promise that people who feel like your friend do get better!. I have been there but it is possible, please tell him that!. xWww@Answer-Health@Com
