Hey guys, thanks for your advice, but you don't know how hard i've tried to get help for my friends. I've only known about one of them for a few days, and he has agreed to see someone (SeptemberMorn - he's not dangerous, i obviously don't know him as well as i thought i did, but even if he has these images, he can control his anger and there's no way he'd ever hurt anyone.) But the other one has felt like this for months now, and i've tried everything i can think of to get her to see someone, but she refused to for so long, and eventually when she did start talking to a counsellor it was too late and she took an overdose, my mum blamed me for that, saying i should have got her help sooner, which i suppose i can understand but she doesn't realise how hard i tried. Now she's talking to the counsellor again, but she can only talk for 45 mins a week during term time, and that doesn't seem to be making any difference. Her mum has found out that she's been talking and has threatened her to stop, and i'm worried how much that's going to affect her - her mum's cut off all contact with anyone outside the house, so now the only chance i get to talk to her is at college, and we don't really see eacth other much there. I've always had top grades at college, but now i'm having to miss lessons to try and support her, at the moment i'm not managing to juggle everything at the same time - she keeps fainting and other people are becoming aware of it, but i don't know how much longer she's going to cope for, even with the help of others.
