My friends 2nd suicide attempt... :(

My best friend is in the hospital because she tried to kill herself again. I know I have to stay calm, and not freak out, because that might scare her more. And I’m comforting her the best I can…

But there’s one catch- she lives in England, and I live in Canada. =[

Honestly what am I going to do? Like it has been a really diffacult month, and I’m just breaking down slowley. :’(

Answer #1

Oh my gosh babe I am so sorry :(

You have to stay calm.

Comfort her & tell her everything is okay.

Try to make her laugh.

Make her realize that we all go thru struggles & suggest she gets some medical

Attention for depression

Answer #2

she needs to talk to someone about why she feels this is the only answer, that person may be you. Don’t be affraid to talk about the subject and what is bothering her. Don’t treat them like broken glass. Talk to them as a friend would. Let her know how much it hurts you when she does things like this.

I have delt with 3 sucides in my life. Don’t be affraid to tell her how you feel. Don’t be scared to break down while talking to her, we are all human and we all need to express are feelings somehow or they just eat us up inside.

Answer #3

If shes in her teens, tell her that it will pass by because the teenage days are the hardest of them all. There is also a lot for her to live for.

Answer #4

u have to keep her calm and notfreak out. tell her that she shouldnt give up on life and that lifew has plenty to offer for her

Answer #5

Just stay strong for her. I know that it’s hard being so far away from each other but you have to keep your head up high. Also express to her how it makes you feel when she attempts suicide. You have to open to her and let her know that what she is doing is not healthy and it hurts you. Holding back your emotions in this type of situation isn’t good. Life is a beautiful thing and it’s tough at times but the good always outweighs the bad. Don’t give up.

Answer #6

Ditto to those who said to talk to her from your heart…don’t treat the suicide attempt like an invisible elephant in the room…

Maybe tell that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem…ALL THINGS PASS…not only the good…but the bad, also…that is one guarentee we have in this life…

Answer #7

tell her how much she means to you because she probably feelscrappy, tell her you love her and will be there for her and that shes not crazzy for doing what she is but that she has a lot more and just be there for her…im soo sry your going through that must be horrible. trey sending her something on the mail a cute photo frame of the 2 of you so she knows that theres some 1 that will always be there for her.
