attempted suicide
My best friend recently cut his wrists and was waiting to die. He's at the hospital, he's okay, and he knows what he did is stupid. This is some serious matter to drop on someone, so I was wondering how to lighten my mood. I'd appreciate any advice that will calm and level myself before I talk to him.

Just realize, its not your fault and that he really just needs a friend right now. Bring him a cute gift or something, and just pretend it didn't happen. I know its hard, but it will keep his and your mind off it.

Think of how glad you are that he made it.
And buy gifts for you and him for having to go through with that.
All The Best!

Take a nice, long, hot bubble bath. Also make sure your friend sees a councellor. Listen to recordings of ocean waves if you can't go near a beach. Try excersising to relive stress to.

just be yourself if he wants to discuss it he will bring it up. you could just let him know that if there is anything you could do for him you will be there

Hmm, that's a very tough situation and I know I'd be really deeply depressed if my best friend ever cut their wrists. Especially the ones I'm closest to. Well, the only thing I could really tell you, is to do some things like:
- Read. Reading makes you calm & it's peaceful.
- Listen to music. Music always cheers me up when I'm mad. I forget about how mad or sad I am, and then I'm okay again.
- Do yoga. Yoga is peaceful, calm & it relieves tension.
- Sleep. Sleep always helps me. I feel so calm after I wake up.
- Write. Writing your feelings down really helps. When I'm depressed or sad, I write poetry or I draw to take my minds off things. It's nice.
I hope I helped you, and I'm sorry your friend did that. It's so tough when friends are suicidal. =( I hope everything turns out fine & that you both end up okay.

writing down how i feel helps sometimes but if your not into writing then you could always just listen 2 calming music or u can always talk 2 one of your other friends

This is sad, but surely his lesson not yours. First, you had nothing to do with it and you can be very thankful you're coming from a more stable emotional place than is he.
If he really is your friend.... then know that by knowing you, he might find a way out of the darkness of self-degradation that caused him to do such a thing to himself. Knowing to commit suicide is to rob my soul of so much and add so much to it's next journey or incarnation... keeps me from even considering it as an option. But I'm sure your friend won't understand that.
Sit and make a list of those things in your life you are thankful for.... or all the blessings in your life.... focus on that list.... then make a list of the things you don't like and go about seeing how you can eliminate them from that list, one at a time. Adding them adventually to the other list.
It's hard I know to experience a friend going through such challenges. So, find strength within his weaknesses and you can give some of that strength to him to help him through. I have to say, this is a grand test for you as his friend. Know that you make good use of your choices, and by that example perhaps, he'll find a way to get a better grip on his life and his choices.
Rather than be turned inside out by this event.... face it head on.... breath alot, long, deep, slow, rhythmic breaths. I'd take a long hot soak in the a tub often with some essential oils and if you have a rose quartz stone... I'd hold onto it alot and give it to my friend when I next saw him. They're very good for self love issues and he's gottem...... rose oil is exellent to for self love issues.....
I wish you well and stay strong, focus on the blessings in your own life and you will get through this in fine shape.... and I wish your friend success in dealing with his demons, whatever they are.... there is lots of help out there for him... make him aware of that and in fact have some of that info ready to share with him when you feel he's ready and able to hear you.
Blessings to you and to him in all ways.
