Alrighty OT, I need your help. (Not girl related, well not really.)

Hello OT, so to avoid a huge wall of text I'll just put in a nice summary. :)

I'm really good friends with this girl, she's one of my best friends, but she suffers from depression. She's got a therapist and etc, they've also started putting her on meds. But she's getting worse, lately she's been cutting herself so bad to stop herself from committing suicide. Her whole family is screwed up, her sister tries to kill herself as well, and her brother has tried more than once to overdose. I really need to help this girl, she's dead serious on committing suicide and I really need to know how to help her.

I would say she needs to check into a mental hospital.

Give her a reason to live. How you do it is up to you, but just remember - There's no use going, just go *insert picture of Jack Sparrow*

Usually when people are depressed they don't have many friends and are sick of their life. She has to change her life in order to get rid of the depression. I was depressed last year (I wasn't cutting myself, but I was sad) You just have to tell yourself "This obviously isn't working, I HAVE to change," and that I did.

poor girl if what you are saying is true. Is she interested in you in anyway other than friend? If so, make the move and show her some romance and hardcore stuff, if you know what I mean.GazaAli

being depressed is easy and so most people will prefer to stay this way. anyways short answers, you can't fix her, but you can be there for her if she has need of you. Don't confuse your need of her for her need of you. and most people who are depressed are not capable of being any other way.EMOEVOLUTION

You are correct in your statement. I've suffered from manic depression and social anxiety disorder for the past three years, and really, in the end I find it's my Ego-centric mind that keeps me in that state. It's strange that something that creates so much suffering and unhappiness in a person (sometimes even causing suicide) is actually craved by the ego and desired (usually subconsciously) on some level. Often times it IS easier to stay that way then to create change in your conscious perception of the world.
