one of my best friends, mo, texted another friend of ours saying she's going to kill herself because her girlfriend broke up with her. i need help. we can't find her. she has her phone turned off and we don't know where she could be. i know if she really wants to she can go through with it. i'm scared. i need some way to make her safe or something. just anything to keep her from killing herself. i don't care about influencing people or anything right now. i just want to help her. please, anything.

I am truely sorry to hear this lovely. I would keep trying the phone, chances are she simply doesn't want to talk right now and maybe she is drunk which wouldn't help matters any either. I would hope this is an example of life creeping up and just accumulating on her, I suppose everyone has moments of weakness like these at some point...I will keep her in my thoughts and know in my heart she will pull through this tough time. I think right now Lovely this woman just needs to be alone with her thoughts for a while. Keep us infomed OK? |

she's refusing to go to the hospital because she doesn't want to leave her ex. we don't knwo where they are and mo won't answer any questions. she's been throwing up all day, which will get the pills out of her system. she took 150 asperin, 100 ibuprofen and 50 extra strength tylonol. a couple of our friends are planning on taking turns and calling her throughout the night to make sure she's ok. she plans on being in class in the morning, but i don't see that happening.

She needs to get treatment ASAP!!! My daughter did this in January and ended up in CCU for two days. She has now caused herself to have a seizure disorder and mild heart damage. This is no BS situation, tell her to go to an ER. I'm not kidding...>^--^<

she said yesterday that she would go to the hospital today if she felt she needed to. i hope she did or does. i haven't hear any new news. she knew exactly what she was doing and i'm sure she knew the risks. she's taken pills before, before i knew her, and ended up in worse condition than she is now.
i don't think she'll go to counceling. she says it doesn't work. i'll do everything i can to help. it's all i can do. she knows i'm here whenever she needs someoen to talk to or a shoulder to cry on.

Your friend is killing herself a piece at a time. This was my daughters third try in nine months. She has gotten off that Merry-Go-Round for now, thank goodness. These are cries for help, does her family know what she's doing? I know you're not her guardian, but she obviously trusts you. I'm very sorry for your friend...>^-.-^<

this is the first time she's tried this in about 4-5 years. the last time was before i knew her. i'm going to do my best to help her and get her to get some help. she's a psych major, she knows better.
she's at the hospital now. she called a coupel friends of our's to take her. she called poison control and they told her she needed to get something to nutrilize the tylenol.

been there done that.. she NEEDS HELP... it is good she is talking to you but she needs the try to talk to someone who went to school for this kind of thing...it DOES help. She needs to finger out why she is doing this to herself....if she WONT go then tell her family what is going on or just call 911.......she may be poed for a bit but she will thank you later

I don't know how many people remember those "mini-thin" ephedrine pills they used to sell over the counter, but I was addicted to those for a few years. I progressively got so I could take 3/4's of the bottle in one pop, and 3/4's was usually about 75 pills, took a whole thing a couple of times. It was a dark time in my life and I suppose in many ways I wanted it over. They kept you awake and made you feel like working was I suppose what they did for me. I remember once I got out of my truck to go to work and my body just gave out as soon as I put weight on my legs. Another time I had been up for 3 days or so and I was driving (yeah...) and I was seeing things, head lights, tail lights, animals you name it...I got within a few yards of getting home and I saw some more tail lights.....Hit that horse trailer doing 45 mph and never so much as tapped the brakes. I wanted to be dead in those days I suppose, pills, booze, other drugs, that damned darkness that goes into a depression like that is unbearable. However strength and connection will carry her through. Connection to friends and self, and strength to give tomorrow a chance. That is what carries a person out of such things, that is what ultimately heals spirit. |

i spent severalyears when i was younger wanting to die. i hated myself and everyone and everything around me. i had an entire school making fun of me (that is not an exaggeration). my only friends would make fun of me at school and then pretend nothing happened when we were at home, as long as no one from school showed up. my brother saw it as his personal goal to make my life miserable. he would beat the shit out of me everyday for no reason other than i was in the same room. he called me every name he could think of to hurt me. it worked.
it was a dark time and one i don't ever want to go back to.
i even tried to kill myself once. i didn't really want ot die, i just wanted my mom to realize that i was there. i tried to strangle myself, manually. after awhile i just wasn't strong enough to keep the grip around my neck. i came close to passing out. my mom just sat there and asked me if i was done acting like a baby. i figured out that nothing short of a serious attempt would do anything, and i wasn't that desparate.
church actually saved me. we went back to church a few months after that. i may not have believed most of what they taught, but the people there was wonderful. they helped me learn how to love myself again.
i've been basically ok since then. there have been a few depressed days here and there, but most people have those.
