My friend just tried to commit suicide, she tried to overdose, I don't know how to deal with it, can anybody help me. I love her and I know I'm not the one who tried to commit suicide, but I still feel sad.

she needs professional help, I'm pretty sure she will try it again. There is nothing you can do to prevent her to do that, just give her support in her decision to ask for help. If she does not want to ask for help, maybe you can talk with any relative or her partner to help her to get professional help. I think she is deeply depressed and sad... She is sick my friend, so try to make her to find metal health help.

I say to try to keep out of that area as far as talking is concerned. Try to make her see how great life is. The smell of fresh cut grass. A baby giggling. The feeling of being full of a good homecooked meal. A few simple things that always make both of you smile. Make sure she gets professional help, of course, but also be sure that she gets some personal help, too. A friend that has known her X amount of years is going to mean more than a psychiatrist that's being paid to know her.
Just make sure that she knows that people love her, and that she is special (oh, dear, I sound like a sitcom!), and that if there is ANYTHING that you can do, that she can call you.
That's my suggestions. I hope both you and your friend have a long, lasting friendship.

I have the solution for your friend as I went through something like that ....first you need to know what is the source of her pain after that you need to be her confident and she might take months and months crying on count of the huge pain she is experiencing ....to cry is the best weapon God has giving us to heal any sad soul ok
she is going trough a depresion .....that with alot of powerwill there's hopes to be out of it without medication....praying it's important and also work on herself steem ...there's lot's of people like to say mental problem...just because you are going through hard times .....it is time for her to cry and yell and say all the things that bother her or the things that been hurting her you have to become that person she will trust of course you must have lot's of patience and always be positive cry along with her and never pressure to do anything .....she will start seeing you as the best person around you and after a time she will change and she will start doing things for you ...this is not something that heals from one day to the other but with love this can heal in a very short time .....crying out is the starting of a cure Anxiety it is caused by feelings of angers or unfair matters ....tell her to cry and everyday go to her and tell her I need the portion of tears that are for today.............and you pray also ....God is more alive than you and me .......I promise you .......I been there

I had a friend who tried that on me last month too. But then again, the most you can do for her is to be there for her. Make her share her problems and offer her advice. If not, bring her to a counsellor or psychologist. There's only a limit to what you can do for her. The rest is up to her will power.

Be there for her, call her parents or the police suicide help line, get her the help she is looking for, its usually because they just want some one to talk to, so be there let her know she has a friend!

Of course you feel sad , you wouldn't be much of a freind if you didn't
Just let her know that nothing is that bad to take your life...Things will get better...She needs to take one day at a time and if something is bothering her tell her to let it go for a while and not dwell on it, cuz it's just not worth it..And let her know that you are there for her whenever !!!!

By realizing that your friend has mental problems, you should feel sad but maybe now she'll get the help she needs.

I feel sorry for you, and your friend. You should try to help her. Be more alert than ever, be around more, tell someone, get what she needs, find out the problem, and do all you can to fix it.
