She promised to not do anything. I just don't feel like my house is a safe peaceful place anymore. My anxiety is high.

I'm thankful she didnt take my xanax and succeed in her plan.

She doesnt want her parents to know about her attemp but I think they should. I told her that we would just tell them she is having a hard time and needs their support, but the more I think about it I want to tell them.

I know it would be like betraying her but I think she needs to be honest and there shouldn't be secrets.

Advice?

I called her mom and they are coming over tomorrow night.

My friend is bringing me a lock box for my meds today.

She promised that she would not do anything tonight. But I'm still afraid and I may make her sleep in my room again.

This is all sooooo much!!
I'm thinking about you two mbrook and hope you had an uneventful night. So glad her parents are coming over and will be made aware of all that's going on. Is she a college student? Upset over a romance? Just general depression? Don't answer any questions if you don't want to...but a little more input into her circumstances might be helpful.
You are doing all the right things....our son killed himself many years ago and it changed all our lives forever. I would not want anyone to have to go through that nightmare.

Sending you positive thoughts this morning...keep us posted.

And I highly recommend this book...SUICIDE, The Forever Decision by Paul Quinnett

This book is written for people who are thinking about killing themselves and for those people who know, love, or counsel them.
It is written by Mr.Quinnett as the counseler he is....having a conversation with you about staying alive.

It is a paperback and you could probably get a used one on Amazon.

Default Hi mbrook
I so agree with other posts, get help. Get someone else over there. Please tell the truth to someone who can intervene with professional help. this should not be all your responsibility. Call the emergency hot line. this stress and worry you feel for your friend isn't going to get her the help she needs. Get to someone who can help. ginnie

Last nigh I had her parents come over and we told them everything. Today she called and talked to the church counselor again. We are calling her dr to get in contact with behavior health and get her some MD help.

This whole thing has been traumatic but I thank God she did not succeed in her plans and is now willing to get help.

She has an appt with her DR and the church counselor is going with her. I've talked with her parents about her staying with them for a few days.

I need a break, I'm not sleeping and am always checking on her. I get worried when she is too quiet and I can't see her. My neuropshycologist suggested the break because my anxiety is so high and without rest its getting out of control.

Thank you all for listening and for your help!! Its nice to know your not doing all this on your own

THANK YOU!

Default hi mbrook
NT won't go anywhere, we are here for you. I so hope your friend gets all the help she needs. You did the right thing. You may have helped save this womans life. It is fantastic that she is getting the council she needs. Lets us know how both of your are doing. I know you have been under alot of stress. Get help for yourself if you need to. When there is a crisis, it drains you so much. You need a lift yourself. My prayers are with you too. ginnie
