Menafee Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 My bestfriend tried to overdose on pills a year ago, she's already attempted it. One of our friends, more hers than mine, was just found in the park a few blocks away from her house a few hours ago, he commited suicide. Everyones obviously very upset about it, he was one of the nicest, sweetest, funniest, most amazing guys i've ever met. It doesnt make any sense he was always laughing and always made you smile and feel better when you were down. Im going to miss him and i only met him about 2 months ago. My bestfriend grew up with him, knew him her entire life and she's already down and talking all suicidal and that was earlier before this happened. So basically i dont know what to do! Should i tell my already suicidal bestfriend that her friend she's known her entire life just commited suicide? It's right by her house, it was blocked off before because of flooding so she wont find out right away but of course she's going to. So do i tell her or let her find out from somewhere else? She's already down so what if she does something dumb again? But on the other hand if she relizes how upset everyone is maybe she'll think about how much it'd hurt everyone if she tried that again? But what if i tell her and she does manage to do something to herself? shes my very bestfriend. I just dont know what to do and im really bad with things like this, i was raised not to cry or show emotion because that made you "weak." which of course its true
Raderick Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 I think if you don't tell your best friend, she will find out anyways, and you'll look bad to her because you were not 100% honest about it.
JohnnyBlaze Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Raderick's right; she'll find out somehow. Better she hear it from a close friend than a newspaper article.
Author Menafee Posted July 29, 2010 Author Posted July 29, 2010 I ended up telling her, and im staying with her and were pretty much watching her 24/7. She's handling it surprisingly better than expected i talked her sons father to let him stay with us for a couple weeks, which i think is helping alot. But thanks for taking the time to read and reply, you guys are completely right. I pretty much already knew the answer i was just worried about it, if she did anything because of something i told her i dont know what i would do.
