ohhh an ugly blamo cunt. how adorable. still getting fucked over? lol

*high five*

Exactly.

Generally the most common thing heard regarding someone who has committed suicide is "I had no clue, never saw it coming." By telling you she is thinking about committing suicide, she is reaching out to you and seeking help. The best thing is probably to try and convince her to see a psychiatrist.

Has she ever been depressed before? Is she a "cutter" or was that time on the phone the first time she has done that? (If she is a "cutter", cutting oneself usually has nothing to do with suicide/there is no intent for it to lead to suicide.)

Threats of suicide don't come out of nowhere...something has been going on with her and it has been going on for awhile.

I don't go to Siva you dumbfuck.

I feel sorry for you.
I really do.

wow, you must care then! fuckin loser. heh.

whatever helps your ego!

I don't believe I am ignorant of the suicidal mind. I spent many of my adolescent years becoming personally acquainted with it. I form my opinions from experience. And I did not suggest that someone who is suicidal should not talk with anyone. I was referring to the manner in which his friend has burdened him with her possible suicide. She should be directed to confide in a professional counselor/psychiatrist... someone who is trained to deal with an issue that sensitive in nature. If you were to counsel a suicidal friend alone without involving a professional and she killed herself, you would have to feel rather nescient.

And I suppose I tend to ground my feelings from an existentialist's point of view... I feel that we are responsibile for the consequences of our own actions. If someone wishes to end their life that badly... that is their wish. It seems rather selfish that, in most cases, our only reason for interjection is to prevent our own loss and sadness.

Also, I don't believe someone is ignorant simply because they have feelings that conflict with the views of others... yet that tends to be a belief that has always been rampantly common on netphoria...

(By the way, I have taken several psychology courses while in college. I performed quite well in them.) :)

Thank You
 

Thank You so much all who responded to the original subject. Your posts are geratly appreciated and exactly what I was hopin for, especially from people that actually work(ed) in a situation like that.

A little update : things are slightly better. The wrist wounds weren't that bad and are healing and she has some family support, mostly her little sister. But the bad news is that her pet died earlier today :( throw some more needles on that camel's back already!!! Jeez! Her only in-house companion is now gone so it won't be easier, but at least she is somewhat stable at the moment and I think I am making a difference, but I think I will still call one of those hotlines for any additional advice.


Again, I thank those of you who offered up some great advice, I really needed it.
