How to help a friend in need?

[duckonin]

Most of these 'suicide attempts' don't actually involve people trying to REALLY kill themself. It's just a sad case of a very depressed person crying out for help/attention.

If someone really wants to kill themself, then they will.

Eventuality, they get to do it one last time.....

Im all good hun - just feeling sick. How bout a drink on Sunday avo (or 10! lol)? xx

its a date hun. Please do not let this get on top of you. You can not change the way he thinks, feels or acts. It has to come from him to either move away from the black hole or bury himself in it. Its a bloody hard struggle i know, and its all to easy for innocent people to get dragged down as well.

I totally agree - which I why I feel I should still stay away from all of this. I know its his cry for help - despite what he says.. How can it not be?

Cry for help or a cry for attention???? I suspect this person is not going to stop until you are harmed or dead. You really need to think about this, I'm not sure you can help this person but you must protect yourself....
