My best mate..

[Clarissa]

My best mate has recently become very depressed, i don't know why and it is worrying me a bit, she cuts the wrists a bit, its more like scratches though and she has also threatend to hand/drown herself. Anyone have any ideas how i can try and cheer her up a bit.

Really not helpful dudettes.

It's extremly hard to kill yourself you know you have to be on a ultimate all time low. Take her out to take her minds of things or talk to her and ask what's wrong etc...

[rachel:]

u wanted help

[EletricMornings]

You need to sit down and talk to her, ive been depressed and for a few days a month i will be. All i wanted was someone to talk to. It really helps!

thanks, i do know it is really difficult to kill yourself and i know she would have killed herself by now if she was that seriously depressed, i think it is attention seeking more than anything even though her parents are arguing alot and stuff.

[joe:-,]

Tell her how you feel about tell her shes your best friend and what shes mean 2 you try going 2 the cineme or have a small sleep over just u 2 and just have fun then maybe she will tell you whats up.

What I would do:

I'd just say "If you want to kill yourself. It's up to you. But killing yourself may seem right to you. But really, it's just selfish. What would your parents do. They would be very upset. What would your friends and relatives do? They'd be very upset. Your just making alot more people depressed then just you. You may not be their to see it, but it isn't the right thing to do. You've got a future ahead of you. In 10 years time you'd of forgotten you ever got this depression. It WILL settle. Just calm yourself down. Drink alot of water when you feel depressed alot. And just think about it. You've got a whole lfie ahead of you. You'll get a brilliant job, You've got good looks (If s/he does.. Still say it though) and your still only at a young age of your life. You could still live 70 years but instead you want to waste it now? It's isn't a good idea (NAME), just think about it."

If you can be bothered to rea that you'll find (hopefully) it's very useful xD

Well, ive been depressed like that before, but dont worry, she wont kill herself. There actually has to be a cause for killing yourself like you thinking everyone hates you, or something like that. You cant really kill yourself for no reason like that.

I know it sounds stupid, because health teachers say the exact opposite, but I say ignore her depression. Dont say anything about it. Usually they end up knowing no one cares if you are depressed, so you mine as well be happy. Thats what happened to me. I dont think that was really the plan to get me undepressed, but it worked.

thanks for your help guys, she seemed a lot more happier today o.O
