One of my really good friends has tried to actually commit suicide about 15 times. The only reason she is still alive is because that her friends and family keep finding her and sending her to the hospital. She has been sent to an institution four times. The last two times she has tried it have been within the past two weeks. The first was she slit her wrists in the bathtub. When they found her she couldn't move and her family really thought she was dead. The next time she OD'd on two different kinds of pills plus weed. She couldn't get her stomach pumped because her heart rate was too high and as of right now they are waiting for the second wave to hit in the ICU at a childrens hospital. I understand that she really hates her father but she loves her brothers, they are all she ever talks about.

What is there to do when someone you love wants to kill themselves sooo badly?

I solemnly swear I am up to no good.

Why does she want to so bad?
If it's a family thing, can you have your friend stay with you for awhile?
Or, is she on anti-depressants or anything? That's helped some people.
-hugs- Fix the cause of the problem?

She's told me a few reasons why she's done it.

1. she was molested when she was little
2. she hates her dad
3. her mom shunned her after she told her that she was a lesbian
4. her mom is a pill head which makes her think that it's okay

We've tried everything. Her older brother's girlfriend is my best friend and her and I have done everything we can think of to help her. If for nothing else then for her brother Jacob, who loves her more then anything else in his life and she is just torturing him. He has a little boy with my best friend and he is scared to have his son over because he is scared that one day his little boy might be wandering around and find his aunt dead in the bathtub or her room or outside or anywhere really

Those aren't reasons someone would try to kill them self so much like that...
Long term suicide watch hospital is all I can say.
She needs to mature mentally somehow and learn some things >.>
I don't know hun. Just be there and try making her happy with little things,
while you're with her. I hope she stops.
