Gee, she's selfish. If she wants to die, and you don't anymore; And she wants you to still feel that way. She's SELFISH, and not much of a friend.x

She needs help. If she wants you to still wish to die, then she isn't a very good friend, not to mention person. You need to be a friend, and get her help. I don't think in that kind of condition that you, nor her can help her. Call someone who can make her life better. She needs professional help. One day she will thank you for it.

well i seem to be the only person that dosn't think she's selfish it's just she doesn't want to be alone... she wants to go through all this with somebody instead of by herself i really don't know what you should say to keep her from thinking like this but just try to convince her that life is worth living that there is some hope cuz well thats what my friends said to me when i just wanted to give up and die just convince her of that and be there for her as a friend and well even if she doesn't want to listen to you make her listen.. cuz well when i was like that my friends wouldn't stop trying.. and well even though i didn't want their help i eventually realized how much i needed it

Well it seems to me that for one, yes, she needssome mental help. She is obviously going through either a) some kind of truma in her life that is making her feel hopeless, or b) she has a dangerous chemical in-balance, leading her to depression and suicidal tendancies.

Her want for you to be the same way is selfish. She should be proud of you for being strong enough to come out of it. But it only seems as though she wants someone else to drag down with her when she finally goes off the deep end. As a friend, you should likely talk to either your parents, or a counselor and see about getting her some help, because she obviuosly needs it.

Tell her/show her how much there is to live for, or just try to get her motivated 2 not want to die. that's one of the first steps.
