my friend needs help! What else can I do for her after she tried to kill herself?
so, my friend is going through a really hard time, she tried to commit suicide, and she's getting really depressed. her mom doesn't pay any attention to her.. she used to be the peppy sunshiny person, now she just puts on a mask... I know what it's like I used to be the same way.... I keep telling her to talk to people, then I suggested for her to change up her normal life and listen to some songs she never would consider (my kind of music) and i'm just wondering... what else can i do for her?

Give her 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.

What women want more than anything else is understanding. It's fine to give her advice, but I think if she gets a chance to air her feelings out she'll feel a lot better. Suicide is usually really a cry for attention. So ask her a lot of questions, especially about what caused her to want to kill herself, repeat back to her in your own words what she is saying ("what I am hearing from you is...."). Giving her a lot of hugs would also help since she isn't getting that from her mom.

Well first off you are truly a great friend to her and by asking what you can do shows how good a friend you are to her. Sadly there isn't much you can do besides be there for her and listen to her. Support her and let her know that you will always be there for her. She should really try talking to someone but you can't force her too. Obviously if you know somethings going on tell someone. Are you close to her mom? What about your parents? Maybe talk to your parents or talk to her mom and let them know whats going on. This situation is serious and shouldn't be taken lightly.

Do you know the reason why your friend tried to commit suicide? I realize the primary thought behind suicide is a deep depression, finding out or knowing what is the cause of the depression is what you need to find out. What the cause of the hard time is?
Your friend must have had some type of physical or mental trauma happen to her. Depending on what happened there are two different organizations I am recommending she contact for help. This is not the type of thing she can overcome by herself or even with the help of friends. She will need the help of professional clinicians.
The first is the National Suicide Prevention Hotline. This is a 24/7 365 hotline that you or she can call at any time to talk to professionally trained volunteers that are ready to help her find people in your home town help her. Their Number is 1-800-273-TALK.
The second hotline is an organization called RAINN which stands for; Rape, Abuse (mental or physical) Incest, National Hotline. If your friend has been raped, abused or the victim of incest she should call this hotline. Their volunteers are trained to help her and to help her find professionals in your town who can help her through this and recover from these trauma so she can live a normal life. Their number is 1-800-656-HOPE.
I hope this information is helpful.
