My girlfriend- suicide?!


Question: My girlfriend- suicide?
Last night me and my girlfriend, of 6 months, were talking on the phone.
And yesterday, it was one year since her friend jeydon killed himself.
She was depressed, so to say.
And she was very hesitant to tell me, but she said that her and jeydon made a suicicde pact.
He went through with it, and she didn't she feels it is her fault.
She feels that she needs to "keep her promise".
I don't know what to do, or how to help her.

We are in a long distance relationship (3 hours away)
she's 17 I just turned 21.

She's thinking of the past, you have to get her to think about the present and the future. Wow....I had to sit here and think about this one. That is some hardcore guilt. Does her folks know this? The pact? Not to snitch, but rather to watch her and try to get her focused on the now. You need to let her know that she is loved, and very special to you and to her friends and family. I wouldn't dismiss this as a whim, but rather a deep seeded issue that could go terribly wrong if not addressed. Caution on the adressing....too much could set her over the edge. Good luck.....Pray for her!



be supportive, not of the suicide obviously but with her friends death. Be there to talk about things that bother her and make it an important fact that she is important to you. Point out how her friend's suicide affected so many people, friends and family and how it would affect you if she would go through with suicide. You could also ask her what her goals are in life... what does she want to accomplish. Does she want to have a family or have a nice career or a big house. Bring out some exciting things you guys could do together or have done together. help her to want to keep her life and experience what life has to offer.

My best friend committed suicide.



comfort her. tell her how much she means to you and that what has happened was unfortunate. what jeydon did was his decision...she shouldn't feel guilty about that - she didn't force him to commit suicide. be understanding and tell her you'll always be by her side. convince her - suicide isn't worth it and that she must learn to move on...GO VISIT HER SOON. this is the sorta time she needs "a shoulder to cry on" type of thing most! be a good listener and talk to her about her problems. take her out for a walk and go out for lunch to break the tension.



She won't do it if she didn't do it then. If she actually sounds serious and you believe her then (and I know it's the last thing you want to do) but tell someone that lives with/around her; a sister, brother, friend, someone.

My best friend attempted suicide twice.



If I were you tell her to seek a counselor to talk to that is certified in dealing with people who may or may not commit suicide. Also be there for her in any way possible, that is all you can do. Make sure that your pray for her.



Call the police, tell them where she lives and that she is suicidal :S



I'm calling the police on you. You messed up big time.



tell hern ot to be crazy



Tell her it isn't her fault that he died and she didn't. She really doesn't need to commit that act..... He would forgive her and if he could tell her he would say not to go through with it!!! Tell her how much you love or need her even it you don't she needs to know someone would miss her dearly and tell her to think of her soul there is no forgiveness for suicide. The bible says in ECCLESIASTES

For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun. So that promise is NOW VOID!!! Lord I hope this helps.
