I think my friend is going to kill herself! What should i do??!


Question: I think my friend is going to kill herself! What should i do??
My friend her twin brother killed himself in her room. His suicide note said that she was never around anymore and he got lonely. He said he mised the days were they were best friends and did everything together. His note also told her not to come to his funeral. Now my friend isn't speaking to anyone, she just sits in the room, he killed himself in. Every time I try and talk to her, she just looks at me with a blank look. I've also noticed she's been cutting herself, the cuts are on her wrists and are really really close to her neck. Her parents aren't helping either. I think they're blaming her for her brothers death. Please help me! What should i do????

Answers:

look up the number for a local help hotline. the best possible thing you could do would be to let her know you care and convince her to make the decision to see a psychiatrist herself. that might be very hard, but that's what the hotlines are for- to help walk you through that.



You should get her some help. People that cut themselves usually have so much pain inside that they cut themselves so that the pain they cause themselves will distract them from the other pain. She is in danger. Do not leave her alone. If her parents will not help her, then as her friend, find her someone that will. This is serious and should not be taken lightly.



She is feeling lonely now.give her belief that you will help her. Forget about past. She really need a help.don't get her to doctor.she is fine.



call a hotline. asap



There was a point in my life where recently if I had a gun next to me, I seriously would have killed myself. But nowadays I realize that suicide is absolutely f****** pathetic.

After reading your question, a red flag raised in my mind that this girl is in a lot of agony and may have skewed views of herself, like her parents blaming her for her brother's suicide. If I were you, tell her that you are noticing abnormal behavior in her and tell her you are worried about her. Ask her to please not do what her brother did and tell her that suicide is pathetic. I should say that asking her not to kill herself may trigger irritation...justify yourself by saying that you are noticing that she isn't acting right and you suspect she may follow the same demise of her twin brother.

Also, with the details you gave me: the blank look she gives you... that is a sign of at least moderate/serious depression or apathy, and she does not have the emotional drive that would result in her showing more lively behavior.

She cuts herself because her emotional stress is so strong that it out-weighs the physical pain and thus the release of endorphins in her "distracts" her from the emotional pain to a less painful experience.

I was once suicidal



It is just plain evil to tell her it was her fault, he was mentally ill, and if she is cutting she is too, and needs a lot of professional help.
I don't know how old they are, she is, but you can call the Department of Social Services in the blue pages under State and let them know what is happening and what can you do, or call the non emergency line of the police and ask them what you can do, or call their doctor, or tell your doctor and ask them to report it, or someone who is worthy of trust.
You are absolutely right she needs help, beginning yesterday, and you seem like you are the only one who sees what is happening. Her parents are probably in shock also, still , they need to know.
You have to at least tell them, that she is suicidal too, and non of this is her fault.
She didn't kill him, he did. It was immature and crazy to blame her for that.

talk to an adult, a counseller, your parents, a teacher, any or many adult(s) you know. explain the situation. that person needs help, needs a therapist to help get the person through this. that sounds awful. i would want to kill myself too if a sibling of mine did that. he/she needs professional help, there is nothing you can do but help get that person help as soon as possible.. whatever happens realize you are doing everything you can and if they go through with it.. its not your fault. do what you can to get that person help. Good luck, all the best..

understand that tragic events like that can have such an impact on a person that they are being tortured in this life. every second they are alive is painful, every breathe breeds a hate for themself, the world.. sometimes, death is a nice way out from their point of view.

Take my word or leave it, i am pretty sure i am certifiably insane from what i've read.. the catch is i pretend and act so well know one knows my problems except me and my dark corners.. ur friend needs help
