I have a friend who says she wants to die but laughed when she said it She did not say how she wanted to do it
She has said she wanted to die before but has not done it She has tried 2 times years apart she mentioned it today in group therapy and she is still having thoughts of wanting to die and I feel like she has come up with a plan even though she has not said so Last edited by darkmood; Apr 18, 2013 at 07:52 PM. |

Gosh I'm sorry to hear that and am concerned. I've never been in this situation, so all I have is brainstorms, not advice from experience. So take it or leave it. This must be a bit scary for you too.
What is your relationship with her, do you or would you be able to ask her how she's feeling and / or mention your concern? Sometimes people can't "receive" care / love, but I think it's good to tell them how much you love and care anyway. Of course, it's possible she could get mad if she's feeling defensive. But that's a small price to pay for someone's life. Would you be able to mention your concern by calling up the counsellor who facilitates the group therapy? Maybe she would have a good way to approach it. Let us know how it goes Take care, Grace |

Oh, I just read your other post. I have no idea what to do. Can you go be with her in person to talk? Would it be useful to call a suicide prevention line to ask them? They will have some experience

Can you call her and talk? I have attempted suicide twice, and I think if I talked to someone and got help I wouldn't have gone through with it. I don't know what your friend's mental state is, or how receptive she is to help. It's sounds like maybe she was reaching out to you. If you can't talk to her directly, than can you talk to a family member? It is quite possible that she may resent you for your help, but if she is a danger to herself, then she needs help. You may be able to call 911 and tell them you think a friend is a danger to herself. The cops will go check on her. I hope everything is ok.

oh I'm so glad to hear. Please do anything you can, don't be afraid. A life is worth everything. I think that letting her know that you love her and how it would feel if you were left behind could make a difference.

Why does she want to die? Have you asked?

I know that's gotta be scary and frustrating! I am also hoping you can talk her through these feelings; I also agree about calling the hotline and seeing what they say. Lots of hugs to you--you are a good friend to want to help her.
