I need help...

I don't know what to do. I've been fighting depression lately, but I've been okay. Then today I was having a rough day as it is, then a very close friend of mine told me she couldn't take life anymore. She has every reason to, that's the thing. So when she started crying I started, and now I can't stop either. Normally I'd put my stuff aside for now, help her, then go on with life, but I'm having a really hard this time for some reason. Every time she says something normally I would say one thing but then I turn around and agree with her, what she's saying. I feel the same way she does, and I'm majorly ruining my position to help her. If I don't figure out a way to put my stuff aside I'm afraid I'll lose her. If anyone has any ideas on how to help her I'd really appreciate it, I don't know what else to do but I really care about her and don't want anything to happen to her. I'm sorry if this doesn't make much sense, my thoughts are very scattered right now.

Hey, I'm sorry you're going through all this. I'm here if you need to talk.

Thanks, it's not me I'm worried about, it's her. I can handle stuff normally, or I'm learning to at least, but I don't know how to help her.

It's normal... All you can really do is talk to her and be her shoulder. She needs a friend now, and you seem to be the person to do it. I can see you really care and want her to feel better, so just simply be there. That's the most you can do right now outside calling the higher authority (i.e - parents, depression helpline, etc...)

It's very normal for her, she's been in hospitals, pysche wards, lots of places, for trying to kill herself and other things. If she tries it again even if she fails this was her last chance, she'll have to go to a boarding school basically. And I can't call anyone because if anyone finds out that she's even thinking about it she has to go there. And she's about all I've got. I care alot about her but she's been to this boarding school once before, it didn't help at all, only made her worse, and this time it would be permenant supposedly. I don't know how to help her anymore.

Copy and paste this thread to your e-mail and send it to her. If she really cares, she'll step back from what's going on and really think about it. If this doesn't wake her up to how badly this is affecting her friend(s), nothing short of medical treatment will. She sounds like she has some serious issues that need to be resolved and they aren't clearing by themselves... Just stay with her and let her know you're there for her.

I don't know how to thank you, it worked. I sent it to her and she read it. I'm not sure how it worked but it did. She's changed her mind. Thank you so much.
