what do I do with her.? she need serious help...?

I might, no, I DO have a friend who is just on the line of killing herself. it's horrifying to watch. I have been through a stage like that recently, too, so I thought I could help her, but I can't. I simply don't know what to tell her anymore. she does see a shrink every once in awhile, and the only positive thing I can see is the fact that she WANTS to be helped, and that she can talk to someone about it.. she's had a hell of a life; was a grown up in her head at 5 years old. that's not good for anymore, to grow up like that. I can talk to her sure, but it's like she has a 2 face personality, and it's hard to see through, because she's so good at seeming happy. I just know she's not.

So, this didn't get as short as I'd liked it to, but any advice..? anyone.? I'd appreciate anything you can give me.

thank you.

    spend time with her more often , like take her places that are very peaceful and relaxing, like a mountain that you can see the city from , the beach , go rock climbing with her, hiking on mountains, take trips with her and do many activities together and show her that you care and are there for her

    also if she has family , tell her that she is going to cause a lot of suffering in her family that cares about her

    good luck and i hope she feels better

    Get some professional help immediately.

    If you've done all YOU can, than get an adult's help. Tell someone.

    Also, this may seem stupid but it might really help:

    www.givesmehope.com :) I found it the other day and it is very positive. Tell her to check it out!

    But seriously, call a suicidal help line or see a professional.

    I know people like that and they are usually very helping and kind to others, very social-able and down to Earth. They show up every day but get them talking about life/ death and reality they have extremely dark sides.

    I don't know how to help people like that.
