My friend who I like more then a friend is bulimic, depressed, cuts himself all the time and blames himself for the stupid things I do (Drugs). I get so fustrated with him and I don't know what to do anymore. He worry's me a lot, mostly when he tells me its not worth getting close to him because he's not going to be around much longer. He says he cares about me and he knows this is hurting me.
I just want to help him, he's my best friend. How can I cope and help him at the same time???? Last edited by FooZe; Dec 08, 2010 at 03:52 AM. Reason: added trigger icon |

You need to help him get help. You are not a professional or a miracle worker, but you are his friend. Sometimes we get so lost and down, we don't know how to find a way out. Be the person who helps and takes it seriously instead of letting your fear or doubt get in the way. The worst thing you can do is nothing.
Encourage him to talk to someone about what he's going through. School counselor, doctor, parent, whatever. 1-800-SUICIDE is a 24 hour hotline he can call and just talk to someone. If he won't tell someone, please, do it yourself. Suicidal talk and actions are never a joke.
