My friend wants to kill herself?!


Question:

My friend wants to kill herself?

I have a friend thats bi-polar, and she sees someone about it, but she cuts herself and have attempted suicide. I'm afraid that she might do it at night or when she's around nobody. How can I make her think more positive about life and not want to commit suicide? Thank you.

Answers:

I think you actually have to be tough about it. It is weakness that is driving her to do this. I can't say if this is the correct answer, but what I would do is tell her to snap out of it. I'd tell her that if she mentioned killing herself one more time, I'll kill her myself (sort of in a joking way). You have to transfer your strength to her, so that the next time she has a knife in her hand, she thinks about your strong words and realizes what a fool she is being.

Then take her to see a movie. Have some fun with her. Show her that life is worth living, if you can be strong.
