if ur close friend says they want to commit suicide what would u do?

Answer 1

Me personally, I would try to talk to them and see why they are feeling that way and what ways I could help. If they seemed intent on killing themselves, I would call the police to do a welfare check on them, because they are trained to handle situations like that and will take that friend (if they deem her serious about being suicidal) to get the help she needs. She may not be happy I would do something like that, but at least I would save her life, and if she is a true friend, she'll understand and come around once she has gotten the help she needs.

Answer 2

Mention it to his or her parents. He needs professional help, because depression is a disease. Friendship alone will not be enough. My brother's friend was with him the night before he committed suicide. I lived far away from my brother. I didn't know he was depressed. On the phone he sounded fine. He wanted to visit me that week-end. If his friend told me his situation, I would have rushed to him, and I would have done everything a sister would do in such a situation. ...call a professional...stay with him....Make sure he will be with someone until he can be persuaded to seek help. People don't understand this disease. They hear about it, but doing research on it happens after a tragedy like suicide.happens. Do research on this topic and print infos for the parents...most of all the part where it says that it should be taken seriously when someone talks about committing suicide. You are not a psychologist or psychiatrist, but the fact that he/she told you about himself/herself contemplating suicide....is not something you should take lightly. In fact ask yourself: what should I do now, so that later I don't regret not having done anything. You can't heal him....as I said it's an illness...but you can reach out for help...those who love him most- his family will be the ones who will be most affected should he actually do it....so let them know....and give them knowledge about depression, so they know how to react. Tell them about the American Association of Suicidology.

Answer 3

ALWAYS be there for them when they need you. I almost killed myself once on pain killers, but I woke up a little too early for it to work all the way. The reason why I did is because although my friend had a pretty good excuse, she couldnt talk to me when I needed her to. Thats what pushed me off the edge. This is the main thing that YOU can do. You do not have the professional training to do much more, but your friend needs that. So, try to convince her that she needs help and be there with her when she goes and gets it. There are a lot of free places you can go for therapy, especially if you are in any type of school.

Answer 4

Well I would sound his family members and others interested in his welfare to keep an eye and constant care without his knowledge till such time he gets over the depression
Go into depth and analyse the causes behind and eliminate them totallyif possible or console if not.
If need be seek medical help /psychlogical help to cure the situation
Never allow the person to be left alone . Remove pistols, knives etc if any from his posession.

Answer 5

If you really think that they are serious you should try and get them to a doctor or try get them to ring life-line or similar,you just might have to talk to them about their feelings and why they would wish to commit suicide and try and convince them that things will get better and to try and just take one day at a time,I used to feel like this often and with the help of anti-depressants and talking to councillors I am much happier and rarely think of committing such a selfish act.Lots of luck to you and your friend.

Answer 6

You are a close friend and will be able to help. Suicide is only caused by close friends causing pain for the mentally ill. If he is psychotic then you need help with meds to stabilize him for a while.

Answer 7

you need to tell someone. Two of my friends commited suicide. They never told anyone. They say people who say they are going to kill themselves won't really do it that it is a cry for help. I wouldn't risk it though. You need to tell someone. So they can get counseling and maybe get on anti-depressents.

Answer 8

First you need to ask them if they have a plan. If they say yes, ask them how they intend on harming themselves. If you can't communicate the fact that they need to see someone right now, then you need to call an ambulance. Just remember: If they intend to harm themselves or others it's always best to let experienced professionals help them. And always: take the person seriously if in doubt play it safe and get help anyway.

Answer 9

Have you ever wondered about the reason of our existence? Have you ever wondered why we die, and where we go after death? What will happen to us in the end? Have you ever asked yourself why God made the earth and all that is in it under man’s dominion? Why were the night and the day, and the sun and the moon created? What are we supposed to do during our lifetime? Were we created just to eat, drink, and enjoy ourselves before we die? As one poet put it:
“I do not know whence I have come.
I saw my feet walking on the road.
As they please I go and stop.
What am I doing here?
How did the road find me?
I do not know! I do not know! I do not know! ”

God has emphasized in many verses of the Qur’an that He did not create us without purpose. He said: “What! Do you think that I created you simply in jest? And that you would not be returned to Me?” (23:115) He also said: “What! Does man think that he will be left to roam at his will?” (75:36) In addition, He said: “Do people think that they will be left to say: “We believe,” and they will not be held accountable?” (29:2)
Indeed, God Has created human beings for a purpose and with a purpose: TO WORSHIP HIM ALONE (Monotheism). He said: “I have not created the Jinn and humankind except only to worship Me. I don't require provision or feeding from them. Surely Allah is the All-provider, the Possessor of all strength, the Firm.” (51:56-58) In fact, all prophets told their people to worship God alone (Monotheism) and shun worshipping His creation (Paganism). God said: “I assuredly sent among every people a messenger with the command: Worship Allah and avoid worshipping false gods.” (16:36)
Prophet Abraham, for example, believed in One God, who had no partner. Anyone who holds a different understanding of God than this has contradicted the religion of Abraham and follows falsehood. God says in the Qur’an: “Those who reject the religion of Abraham make fools of themselves.” (2:130)
Prophet Jesus was reported in the Gospels to have said: “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only’.” (Luke 4:8)
Prophet Jacob also said (in the Qur'an) to his people: “Indeed, those which you worship besides Allah are only names that you and your forefathers have established, for which Allah has sent down no authority. The command belongs only to Allah. He has commanded that you worship none but Him. That is the right religion, but most people do not understand.” (12:40)

Real happiness and peace can be ONLY found in submitting to the commands of the Creator and the Sustainer of this world. God has said in the Qur’an: (Truly, in remembering God do hearts find rest.)
(Qur’an, 13:28)

On the other hand, the one who turns away from the Qur’an will have a life of hardship in this world. God has said:
(But whoever turns away from the Qur’an, he will have a hard life, and We will raise him up blind on the Day of Judgment.) (Qur’an, 20:124)
This may explain why some people commit suicide while they enjoy the material comfort money can buy. For example, look at Cat Stevens (now Yusuf Islam), formerly a famous pop singer who used to earn sometimes more than $150,000 a night. After he converted to Islam, he found true happiness and peace, which he had not found in material success.

Answer 10

Always take them serious. First you need to ask them if they have a plan. ( this is letting you know if they have thought about it, how to do it, when..etc) BY knowing this you know that it is already in the works....Stay close to them, tell someone, maybe even talk them into getting professional help. If all else fails, they still have you.
