Answer 1

You can take some control over how you feel by using some of the strategies listed below:
1. Learn some ways to relax and incorporate them into your daily routine. Even if too much stress and tension aren't the cause of your depression (although they very well might be), they certainly aggravate it.
2. Identify things that are pleasant for you and plan them into your schedule. Research suggests that depressed people have a lack of pleasurable events in their lives and that they actually avoid things that give them pleasure.
3. Increase your activity level. Unfortunately, depressed individuals don't have much energy for exercise, so they tend to remain inactive. Low activity level serves to increase depressed feelings, which then inhibit activity further. To break this cycle, schedule daily exercise that is appropriate for your lifestyle and conditioning level.
4. Identify self-ctitical thoughts and switch to self-rewarding thinking. In other words, get off your back. It is easy to make yourself depressed by being overly harsh and critical.
5. Analyze your social behavior. Many depressed people are lonely and isolated. By learning new social skills and assertive communication, you can often get needed support .
6. Children might avoid the need for presciption antidepressents. and if the one of the parents are depressed, getting the parent help can prevent the child from becoming depressed.
7. Listen to soft soothing relaxing music or something with lots of rhythm. Music is to the spirit of mankind like a bandaid is to a cut.

Answer 2

I think you should go contact the parents and tell them about the current situation. The parents have the power to enforce whatever action they do. First thing you do contact the parents and tell them about the situation and beg them to take action. If not find another trusted adult in the family to help her. Remember adults are much more experienced and wiser in judgement. If that doesn't work, try to find a suicide hotline or talk them to more and communicate more freely and openly to your friend. Keep in check of what your friend is doing. thrid if it doesn't work get more friends THAT YOU CAN TRUST, to be her friend. after that keep praying. Remember whenever she talks a little bit of suicide don't take it lightly. they will do it. good luck.

Answer 3

i think you really need to get some kind of help right away cause if she already tried she will try till it happens and i know from expierience i lost my friend , he told me the same thing that he was thinking of killing himself and tried earlier that day.he had a gun on him i should have taken it away but he said he wouldnt do anything so i let him keep it the next day they found him dead at the train track shot in the head. so you have to take this very serious go over there , take her out or something call the police if you have to she will thank you later

Answer 4

I would tell her parents your concerns and see if they will do anything about it. Also talk to the guidence councelor at school (if your still in school) so that they can keep an eye out for your friend. And just try talking to her, see why she feels this way and if there is anything that can fix it. Try to get through to her that she would really be missed if she took her life and that its probably not as bad as it seems. Teens (I'm asuming she is one) tend to take things harder than adults and over react. I can definitly relate to over reacting about small things.

Answer 5

The next time your friend says that she wants to commit suicide call the police. They will go to her house and take her to a mental health facility and she will get evaluated for depression. I also found out from a police officer that if your friend tells you she is going to kill herself and she does and you do nothing about it you could be held criminally responsible as well as civilly.

Answer 6

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.
