messed up


Question Posted Tuesday August 24 2004, 4:59 pm

ok well i have this one friend and she used to get high and drunk and all that and she was really suicidal. i mean she was in the hospital for like 2 weeks. and then i had to talk her out of it again. but then she went edge and didnt do it at all and punched one of the kids who tryed to get her to. but now shes doing it again and its really scaring me. i mean she lives about an hour away from me so i cant really keep an eye on her or anything. and i dont see her much either but we used to be best friends and now were just good friends i guess. i dont like it when she does this but i cant stop her. i dont know what to tell her so she understands how i feel about this. please help!

Talk to her about it- tell her that your there for her and what shes doing is not right. Maybe she needs counseling that could help.

you know drugs arent really a bad thing if she keeps them under control. certain drugs, such as marijuana are mood elavators and would actualy make her happier (again if kept under control) so it may be wahts stopping her from commiting suicide. i guess there really isnt much you can do, sorry i dont have better advice for you but in order for you to keep an eye on her you would need to be with her when she does drugs and then youd be subject to peer pressure to do them yourself.

I Have a friend just like that and what I did was, I told her what she needed to hear and even though it is the nicest things, she needed to know. Is she doing all of this because she thinks life sucks, then I would tell her that you still have a long way to go and things will get better if you just stick it out! I hoped I helped! Good Luck, and let me know how it goes! ~Paige~

well... i know exactly how u feel... im in the exact same situation right now.. only my friend didn't start again.. but she lives an hr away.. and all that.. but anyway.. u just gotta talk to her a lot. Ask her why shes doin it.. but dont ask her right away.. have her gain ur trust.. and let her open up to you slowly. If u rush the questions.. they'll never get answered. im not exactly sure how i helped my friend out.. but we just formed this REALLY strong bond with each other.. and after we became the best of friends... she couldn't stand the thought of her getting drunk and cuttin....because of me gettin upset. Also if u wanna help her.. if she perhaps cuts or w.e....take away all the blades or w.e she uses bcuz of that fact that shes suicidal. It worked for my friend... she hasn't done it since. ..so just tryin talking to her about and maybe try to get her involved in some sport or hobby that makes her happy.. so she can do it to take her mind off of some stuff... thats what i did and it helped a lot too.....

hope i helped!!!

I think that you should tell your friend that you care about her more then she will ever know and that your afriad for her cuz if you ever lose her life just won't be the same. There'll b this big whole. I'v lost friends but none have died and i regret that we're not as close anymore. But you'll never solve anything without taking action. Tell her if when she's havinga problem...insteada doing the things she does to juss talk to you about it or maybe tell her 2 keep a journal and write her feelings down.

maybe she's got something on her mind that she's not telling anyone. most of the time when someone is destructive like that they have some demons inside that no one knows about, i know it sounds silly but something has got to be setting her off to make her want to do things like that to herself. talk to her tell her that you are scared for her and that you don't want her to hurt herself or do any of the things that she's doing. let me know if there's anything else, good luck and i hope i helped.
