i have this friend.
i absolutely love her (in a completely platonic way).
she means SO MUCH to me.

a few years ago, she started having a bit of..trouble..in life.re
more to the point, she started letting me help her out basically.
she considered suicide.
she cut.
she burned.

every since that time way back when, she's been relying on me.
there's nothing wrong with that.. but.
she told me i'm THE reason she didn't kill herself.
she let's me know this now too...

and now, i feel i can't have any weaknesses.
and i'm suicidal.
and i don't know what to do..

and this topic makes no sense.
sorry.

if your friend is still struggling with these issues, i think she does need to try some professional help, as asia lover says. i also agree with TBMP that it might not be for the best to tell her you are suicidal, unless you are sure she can take it. tell her you need a bit of support by all means, but i think you both need to give each other some care and space at the moment, so try always to be gentle, and before saying anything, think about what you could deal with hearing in her position. help each other t find reasons to stay alive. why is it exactly that you're feeling suicidal?

Its okay...you are human and I am sure that she realizes this...Apparently you were her "Angel Among Us" like Alabama says. But the thing is you are not a real angel and you have problems. I am sure she meant that because you were there for her during all this that thats why she didnt do it not because she thought you were superman. Maybe if you think she can handle it...maybe she can do the same for you.

DO NOT tell her that you are suicidal as well, she will blame herself

use her love for you as a motivation to stay alive. it works. i haven't cut in almost 2 years by just taking it day by day man.

PLZ PM me with ANYTHING you need about this.

She shouldn't rely on you so much. If she needs you, then she needs help. I am sorry you feel suicidal too, explain to her that because of that you are getting a lot of pressure to seem perfect for her safety.
