If somebody tells you they want to kill themselves...Believe It!!! You can bet your sweet bippy if any body tells me that again, the men in little white jackets will be there in about 30 seconds! My best friend shot herself in her heart. Its been 20 years it still affects friendships i have today. I am sooooo angry at what she did to her family and friends. NOTHING IS SO BAD TO WARRANT SUICIDE! It's a cowards way out, and is absolutely the most SELFISH act anyone can commit. She had a good marriage, was an only child, and left a 6 year old son.
Lived It,

Oh never feel bad about posting and seeking help, support and direction. Even about Non-chicken topics.


I worked on a locked mental ward many years ago and I can tell you that the only thing you can do is ... still be his best friend. Talk to him, let him talk to you, make sure he is given the treatment he needs.

If nothing is done, when he gets out, the odds are very good that he will attempt again and possibly succeed. Suicide attempts can be a cry for help or these can be disease/disorder based. Mental health treatment is necessary to determine which.

Just stand by him and be there for him...no pressure, just be his friend.

You are so right and you are so wrong. While it is selfish for those left behind and a coawrd's way out, from the individuals perspective, it is the only way to fix their troubles. That is something that none of us looking in can see from their perspective. Each of us has our personal limitations, methods of handling stress, heartache, disappointment and other emotions...some see suicide as the only way to "fix it".

If i were in your situation I would definatll let him know you are there for him and he can talk to you about anything, and let him know how much you care. sometimes knowing someone really cares about you helps out alot with crazy things that might be going on in their head. maybe he had a bad run in with someone and they said things that really upset him and caused this. the best thing is to go see him and talk to him and let him know you care.

i hate to hear you are going through this i hope it gets better

to you and ur friend

Two years ago my neighbor and dear friend, lost her home to a fire. She was the only one home at the time, and her husband accused her of setting the fire. He took all the vehicles, the insurance money, bank accounts, and everything of value, and he left the state, changed his phone number, and basically disappeared from her lfe. She was devastated. All of her family lived 4 hours away. We invited her to stay in our finished walk-out basement for as long as she needed to, which she accepted. She lived with us for about two months. During that time, she went over to their property twice and tried to commit suicide. We were aware that she was suicidal, so we never left her alone for long. Then she had a particularly bad day, where everything that could go wrong did. She got up the next morning and went and hung herself.
I miss her terribly, but I know I did everything I could possibly do for her. I tried my best to talk to her, but she really had lost all hope.
