Suicidal Friend
I'm not a novice when it comes to the topic of suicide, but I am now facing a situation and I have no idea what to do. Over the past year, my friend(Hannah), and I have been writing letters to each other, even though we see each other every day. Well, I've found out things about her, and she about me, through these letters. She's really depressed and wants to kill herself. I've told her that if she wants to find someone who can help, I'll help her find someone. But, a few days ago, she told me that she didn't care whether or not she lived or died, so she wouldn't be helping me find someone to help her. So now, I feel as if her life is in my hands. My problem is, I don't know who to talk to. Hannah swears that she won't be mad at me if I tell someone, I just don't know who to tell. HELP ME, PLEASE!

Get your self some Niacin you can get it at any GNC or vitamin shop.
It is why suicidal patients get better. Look it up.
Its your only option Most people will be totally cured from depression im a matter of weeks.
I have tried every thing there is and this is the only thing that works.
Dont stop taking it. With out Niacin it is impossible to get better.

okay this is what i would do. i would tell her about all the people who care about her. her friends, you, her parents, school mates. all those people would be hurt by her actions. she needs to work through this stage. tell her you will be by her side the whole way and that you will comfort her through this. make her feel that she is worth living for, because everyone has a point in life, and obviously she hasnt found hers yet.

Hi,
Hannah is very lucky to have a friend like you!
Firstly, keep writing to eachother, the fact that she's telling you she's down mean sthat she needs the help. So keep communication going! In turn, write to her about the positive things in her life; maybe she has pretty eyes, a great smile, a great sense of humour. Whatever it is, tell her so that she starts building her self-esteem.
Secondly, try and ask her what it is that is making her feel suicidal, maybe it's school or family life, or hopefully something that can be fixed.
Also, I know you want to be loyal to your friend, but you need to tell an adult! Are her parents kind and trustworthy? If you think they're caring and perhaps not the problem, tell them about it! Does she have an older broor sis? Go to them. Or do you have a teacher at school you like and trust or a counsellor at school. Or go with her to the doctor.
Whatever help you can get her is important! You're doing a great job a it is but someone else needs to get involved, preferably a professional.
Good luck and best wishes.

Wow. Obviously this is a cry for help. It is normally wrong when people say this, but when she dosen't care if she gets help, it most likely means she WANTS help. Go to any adult with power to help her. A school counseler, teacher, parent, anything! There also should be hot lines in your area, check under crisis in a local phone book.
Good luck.. and make sure you get help ASAP!

Wow, thats a pretty big problem.i realy think you should just talk to her.tell her that she might not care if she lives or dies, but alot of other people will.tell her about how many people she could hurt.talk to your and her parents about it, i suggest therapy, but thats up to her.
Good Luck
Every one luves me,

Just the fact that Hannah has told someone that she is suicidal is a cry for help.
Please tell her that no matter what she is dealing with, it is not worth taking your own life. I don't know if she believes there is a God but I pray that she would go to Him and just have a converstation with Him just as if she was talking to you. That's how easy it is to talk to God. He loves her more than she could ever know and he has a plan for her and wants her to be happy.
He can change a life. I speak from experience.
Tell her, please.

This is a serious situation. You need to tell anyone with authority to get her help fast-a close relative of hers, a counselor -an older person who can help her.

Sounds to me like by saying she won't be mad at you for tellig someone, she really wants you to tell someone, but saying she doesn't mind is the closest she can get to asking you for help. It's a really hard position to be in, and whatever happens you're going to feel responsible, but as you can see, the most important thing now is that you get her help. If you're not sure where to get help from, try someone else that sh'es close to, maybe somone older - an older family member of hers, if you're at school, a teacher, or look up local counselling services. Make sure you get the help and support for yourself too, don't go through this alone, because its a big burden for one person to carry. Help is out there somewhere, jsut keep looking for people who might know what to do.
