Probably a few months ago my friend was at her boyfriends house and his bestfriend "touched" her while she was asleep. There was a huge fall out obviously however after a month all went back to normal again.
Two weeks ago he did it again and now she is getting the police involved and her boyfriend is sticking up for his friend and not her despite what happened, oh and this guy also stole £100 from my friends boyfriend and spent it on drugs so he's not a great guy at all.
My friend has had depression among other things for a large part of her life and because of that she has self harmed and often said she wanted to commit suicide. She's only actually gone through with it two or three times however luckily she was caught and recovered.
A lot of the time when she says about suicide she doesn't mean it deep down however she has just told me shes going to try and kill herself everyday now after whats happened and I think she really is going to this time. She was fired from a care home, violated and then her boyfriend split up with her all in about 2/3 weeks so its a horrible time for her at the moment.
Does anybody have any advice what I can do to help? I can't get through to her. I've been with her the last two weeks which she said has helped and I've tried to keep her hopeful however I'm pretty much the only positive thing she has in life at the moment and I don't think thats enough to make her stop. Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place, I feel like every moment I waste is another closer to her ending her life so I'm quite worried at the moment.

I agree with the other commenters, she needs to be in the hospital until she gets her suicidal ideation under control. Your friend was assaulted, I don't know what "touched" means but I'm going to assume it would be considered an assault since she was asleep and did not consent. She needs to be in therapy to work through her feelings of that happening and also the boyfriend not supporting her after that trauma. The best thing you can do is be there for her, listen to her, never blame her for the assault, and the #1 thing is that if her mother isn't doing anything about it, to convince her mother to get her inpatient treatment.
