ever think about *******?

Good, he'll get *** ***** in jail for hurting a child. What a flaming douche bag.
As for what to do, just pay her a visit. What else can you do? maybe it'll help unload some of her stress? (or you'll drive her crazy //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif ) but im sure being there in person would help, just wing it from that point. At the very least, you would have tried.

I stayed with her like the past week. Ever since it happend I've been making trips there. One of her co-workers took me aside when I was picking her up from work and said she has seen her looking up stuff online about death, and she has become very withdrawn.

Not that I know anything about the situation, but that's usually a good sign. People that want help/attention usually leave very subtle hints. The people that make sure no one knows usually don't have a chance to be saved.

That was my thought as well. Generally people who want to die will do it and will get the job done, people who want attention either want you to know, or fail at doing it.

I don't know enough about it to voice my opinion one way or another. I am really not trying to be an *** in the least, but my guess is neither do you. My point is that this is too important to base any of your actions on a wild *** guess or belief. We buy components that way but it really is no way to deal with this situation. This probably sounds more preachy than is warranted but chalk that up to me not really knowing how to handle these situations.

Some research on ******* prevention might prove productive. (And I am not usually real big on self help literature).

OK, I have a few things to say on this subject. I have thought about it a few times, but never got to the point where I planned anything. I've been through some tiough times recently too. Both of my grandparents passed within the last two years. One from cancer and one from Lou Gherig's. Also, I'm at the point in life where I'm starting to go off on my own and have no idea where my life is headed. It's just been really rocky latley. But I have a great family and good friends. No matter how bad it gets, I know there's a way out.

Killing yourself won't solve anything. You just end your life in sadness and anger.

To Iceteebone: your friend definitely needs people around her right now. Even if she isn't suicidal, your support can help her make it through this with less damage. Just let her know you're there for her, even if most of your conversation is over the phone.

As to your own problems, I'm sorry life has made you so cynical. However, eventually you'll have to learn to trust peopleor you'll end up old and alone. I understand that bad experiences with parents can really screw you up. My dad went through a lot of that as a kid. He never knew his real parents, and was adopted by a couple of alcoholics. My dad got beaten with belts, fishing poles, and any number of things for trivial crap. He got abused while his sister got pampered. One time he was walking to school in a snowstorm with temps at about 10 below. His father drove up, looked at him, and kept on driving. My father experienced a lot of physical and emotional abuse from his parents. But he didn't shut himself off, and now he's done all the things he was told he couldn't. Yeah, he still has issues, but so does everybody else.

Bottom line for anyone: There is light at both ends of every tunnel. If you're in the middle you have three options:

1- Keep pushing and get to the end

2- Go back and find a new way(This would be your rock bottom)

3- Give up and stay in the dark

Um...what? My comment was based on my own personal experience, not only with my own depression, but also being admitted to and later working at a mental health hospital here in New Orleans. teebone simply agreed with me.

I wasn't speaking to you. I was speaking to T so I don't know what your credentials in this matter have to do with what I was saying to him.

I wish you would go off yourself.

It has to do with the fact that you retorted something that I originally said. Or maybe you are retorted.

I was speaking to him about his beliefs you freaking moron. The fact that he may have been agreeing with something that you said makes no difference. I know T well enough to know that he isn't solely relying on something that you said simply because you have felt the urge to kill yourself and you clean up shit at a mental institute.

It has never crossed my mind in a serious thought........................ever.....................

Truth be told, I love life and the many experiences it has to offer.Some aren't always good but you stick through it.

Sigh... people need to chill. Unchecked aggression usually leads to strokes.

You are the one who got all butt hurt when you were not even being spoken too. I never cared what your opinion was. Maybe that was the real problem.
