Question: I just talked my best friend out of suicide !!?
See, I have been best friends with him since like, 2nd grade, and then I broke up with my old boyfriend and started dating him (I know, screwed up there) and it was kind of a rebound thing!. BUT the main problem was that he has been in love with me for like, four years!. Now I have broken up with him!. and I was talking to him on my IM and he started saying stuff like my buck knife looks really friendly right now!.!.!.!.!. so I got really scared and it took me and another friend to talk him out of it!. And now I can't sleep because I feel like its partially my fault and I'm worried he might try something !.!.!. What can I do!?!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Tell him that you love him as a friend!. Let him know that he feelings you have for him are purely friendly, and that you still want to be his friend!. Tell him that you care for him and maybe you could even try and hook him up with some one else!. But try avoiding the whole "I see you as a brother" for some reason guys don't like it when a girl they like says that!. Be sure to be gentle with him and let him know that you care!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The mention of suicide should not be taken lightly!.
You should call 911 right now and tell them that your friend might commit suicide!. Give 911 his address!.
If your friend is actually thinking about suicide, by you contacting 911, you are not only showing him that you care but you are saving his life!.
If your friend mentioned suicide only to make you feel guilty and get sympathy from you, by calling 911 and having them go to his home will teach him a lesson!. Suicide is not something to play with!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't mean to scare you but, what if he already did something!?
Seriously, call him and tell him that even though 'things didn't work out' you'll still be there for him!. Tell him whatever he's thinking won't help him, it'll just make things harder for him!. Tell him you care for him and that you want to be friends with him, if you do that is!. Just comfort him, and make sure he's okay!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Get off Yahoo Answers NOW and call or IM him!. WHEN PEOPLE MAKE SUICIDE THREATS TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY!. Give him a choice --- he will either promise with 100% CERTAINTY he will ***NOT*** harm himself OR else you will call your emergency number and give them his address!. And do it!.

This is NOT your fault but you do need to do the above!.

I am NOT overreacting and you will not be either!. Better safe than sorry!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you need to let him know that even though things didnt work out romantically between you two that you still care for him a lot!. make sure to always let him know that he is not alone and that he has people who care for him and would be sad if he died!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

stick by his side always and talk to him, get him to laugh aand return to his old ways!. makes sure he dont turn to a psychopath and start coming after you because once he cant have u then he will think nobody can have you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

just get a bunch of people who care about him and warn him and tell him this is not the right thing!. Make him feel safe and make a gentle conversation!.He might release what he is doing!. Hope this helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Spend time with your friend and make sure he knows that there are people that care about him!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
