My friend is suicidal?

All teens, at some point, feel stupid, ugly, useless, and hate themselves.

You could print this out for her:

If youre a teen, remember that the teen years are the absolute worst time of life. I am surprised any of us survive it. You are struggling with so much stress, pressures, changes... Your body and mind are trying to cope but ... its hard, dealing with unpredictable hormones and roller coaster emotions.

The brain is a very complicated and delicate thing. It can get messed up and be unable to produce sufficient serotonin. This is called a chemical imbalance ... which is easily treated, very common and nothing to be ashamed of.

It can cause depression, anxiety, panic, obsession, self harm/self hatred, suicidal thoughts, eating disorders, sleeping problems, aggression/rage, anger, phobias, fears, helplessness, hopelessness, hypochondria, OCD, paranoia, headaches, lack of interest in things, lack of motivation/ focus and much more.

According to those who have gone to therapists, counselors and psychiatrists, they dont help much. Worse, they are not even allowed to prescribe appropriate meds to help you get better.

Tell a dr. about your symptoms and ask for anti-depressants. Zoloft/Sertraline is a good one; most people thrive on it and it has no side effects. It produces more serotonin which enables the brain to function properly.

With the right antidepressants, you will be much better, happier, calmer, confident, relaxed and normal. What a difference it makes!! You need them, so stay ON them.

Then, find big HAPPY churches, attend some youth groups there and have fun. Talk with the pastor/minister or the youth pastor/leader. They have more wisdom than you and I. And where else can you get FREE counseling?

Troubled people need peace; a good pastor can show you how to have perfect peace. God loves you more than you can possibly imagine :)

Hello,

If you are really concerned for your friend’s safety, please call 911 or local law enforcement in her area, contact a trusted adult like her parent, and/or even call a national hotline to help with the situation. The Lifeline Suicide Prevention hotline is a great resource at 800-273-TALK(8255). It is important to reach out for support and to provide information like that to her.

Something else for you to think about is how you are managing all of this for yourself. These kinds of situations can cause a lot of stress and you should try things that help you to remain calm and relaxed as well. Getting help for your friend is important, but you also have to take care of yourself too! Try doing things that help you to relax. Deep breathing, taking a walk, and even listening to music can help you manage stress while you are helping your friend.

Whatever you plan to do, please keep reaching out and take care!

Take Care,

TM, Counselor

Do you know her address?

If she is seriously threatening to commit suicide and you are genuinely worried that she might go through with it, then you need to call the emergency services to her address. They may section her or she may go voluntarily.

It's a difficult thing to do, an awful situation to be in and an awful situation for her but if she's really struggling then she needs proper help.

uh. . .ain't it obvious

You just have to go ahead hand a decently sharp knife to her ;

ask her to kill you and then go die, if she can't kill you it's all worthless talk;

if she moves a single step towards you,be sure to back off and forget about the incident, if she gives up on the idea of suicide; then. . .

. . .make sure to thank me : P(kidding about last the line)

Get her some serious help. Maybe therapy or talk to her parents about the situation. Maybe her family can help as well.

dump that loser and find a better friend, one that isn't a head case.

Take her to a therapist
