Answers:
You've probably already told her how concerned you are about her, right.? I don't know her, her circumstances, or her age...and you're a good friend to want to help. You can urge her to get help, either through a school guidance counselor, a pastor, or you might want to contact your local Mental Health Office and ask for some guidance on how you can help your friend. You kind of limited in what you can do without betraying her trust, or making a drastic move. It's up to you as far as how dire and urgent you feel this situation is. Can you talk to her parents.? Is there some responsible adult you can trust.?
This is indeed a sticky situation, in as no matter what you may decide to do, she may see it as a betrayal and it could potentially destroy your friendship, however, if you feel this is going too far, and she might be a real danger to herself, you will have to intervene in some way. Please Call the Suicide Prevention Hotline, they may be able to advise you.

Best WIshes to you, hon. I hope she gets the help she needs. ?Health Question & Answer

I know this sounds terrible, but you need to talk to her parents. As mad as she might be at you for a while, her parents need to get involved to get her the help that she needs. That's something that neither you nor any other peer can give her. Or, you can talk to your parents and they can contact her parents if you're uncomfortable doing it yourself. It sounds like you're being a tattle-tale, but you need to do this to help your friend. You'll always regret it if something happens and you sat by her side and did nothing.Health Question & Answer

first you need to know what is she thinking then
you should show her all the positive sides that you think about
her problem , tell her about the people who loves her and all
of that remember to never talk about doctors or paramedics
that will only make it worse
try always to calm her down so you can talk to her without any stress
and you should always be there for her so she can feel
that you like her and you cant let her go Health Question & Answer

I think the first thing to do to help her is to let someone know. Parent, school counselor, nurse, teacher - this is assuming you are under 18 and in school. If you aren't, maybe a suicide hotline would be able to point you in the direction.Health Question & Answer

I know this is a load on you but you have to talk to her mother or another trusted adult who can help her. Remember even if you are concerned that she may get mad at you her life is the most important of all. This is addictive and won't stop without help. Health Question & Answer
