Answers:
If she is having suicidal thoughts you need to seek help immediately she may need to have her meds adjusted or changed all together.Health Question & Answer

Most people think of hurting themselves or others. Only a few admit it. If you have never had such thought, you are lucky.

The few that admit it are afraid that they are alone and have no help or support. That's where you come in.

Of course, many who admit it are looking for attention. be careful how you give it.Health Question & Answer

u should stay in close contact w/ her and voice ur concerns to people u trust that could help her...i was recently diagnosed w/ depression and was put on meds...i had thoughts of hurting myself before the meds but they increased when i started the meds...i actually came very close to killing myself a couple of times...she may need her meds adjusted like i did...pray about it and see how it goesHealth Question & Answer

make sure you or someone stays in contact with her. Contact your local suicide prevention hotline or seek medical help asap her meds could be off (she took to much, not enough, mixed them wrong, etc...)Health Question & Answer
