I had a friend that threatened and tried to committ suicide and when she got home from the hospital, I told her in a not so nice way that I have already survived one person doing that and if that is what she wants to do, then that would be the end of our friendship! I told her she had NO idea what she puts the people that love her through or how it effects the ones she leaves behind and I will NOT go through that again.. EVER..... for ANYBODY and if that is the path she wanted to continue, then tell me NOW and I would walk away NOW...

Her Mother told me a few days later that she was so glad I had told Sandy that because it wasn't until then, that she realized how her selfish actions would/could effect others. She hasn't tried it since..

I know this will not work with everyone and I am the first to say, that those who are serious about doing it WILL! Get her help and don't give up on screaming it to anyone who will listen until she gets help or gives up on it. Just warn her that suicide is a permant solution to a temporary problem and it can not be undone.
