What do you do when all of your friends are su!cidal?

i do tread lightly but i, myself suffer from depression so their suicidal tendencies trigger me. I try so hard to help them but it is useless

One way that does work in changing a depressed minds state of thought, is to recognise/realise the facts that create such bad feelings in the first place…being depressed is recognition of anyways… and slowly eliminate all bad stuff from ya life,or avoid it no matter what…If you dont like your friends find others,if you cant be bothered to find others or cant wait for others to come along, then tuff,put up and shut up.Same with work,home and family….If your family brings you down then go…there is no contract…You being happy in life is the most important thing…When you really really know that no one in the world gives a sh1t about you or your feelings,it can actually make you a stronger person and end your depression….and you can learn to find a true happiness….did for me,and once you beat depression it seems as if it is impossible now for it too ever come back…coz i know that all that could make me depressed is to do with others…and realising this and controling your enviroment and people you know can eliminate this strange illness.

I do not want to be involved, at your grand table of feast`s …I will not drink blood, with such shallow of beautifully dressed beasts….I want no place where this meal be served ….For I find all the vanity involved ,to be absurd.

I aint trying to push me poems but they were wrote from a cured from depressed mind…so they may help with what i am tryin to say,and others?

I will go,if I want to.

I will Ignore ,all unreasonable wants…that can only grow, for upon lifes long River…I do so reasonabley …and gently do row. So Please do not disturb …my peaceful …life loving flow, just leave me alone… please…just let me go. Upon my River… in a small boat that I may row, to places of my joy ….that maybe as yet, I do not even know. To places of my thought pleasure…. that maybe are not for your so. Just leave me alone in any place…that I choose to go. Even if its above your very heights ,or even below… Your unsaid… sad low. just go away ….and let me… be free ,to go

One of my best friends took her life before Xmas last year, it was hard because she was always so happy and smiling, turns out she was sexually assaulted in 2008 and she tried to hide it and be happy but she ended up doing the only thing she thought was right, I miss her so much

What a waste of a life…poor girl,and her poor family…I just dont get it…it is so sad…of course we are all so different but ffs run,hide,confide…is not always the obvious or available options….But ffs death is so wrong…every one knows nothing lasts forever and things may seem bad now and may get worse but one day they WILL be better…Things DO ALWAYS sort them selves in the end….Life has so many pleasures to be found that out way any of the sh1t it throws at ya …People you know now may be a55holes,dont let them get you down,raise above them and learn to shape them for your own benerfit until you can leave…There is always an answer and there is always some one out there to Love you how you deserve to be loved…There is your own family that one day you being a mum dad will be a big part of….Death is just even more sh1t for yourself.I wish people who were thinking about the death thing would adopt the F-You attitude to everything instead.

Help them and seek help for them as best you can/prayer…..

Try talking to them. Its dangerous for someone to want to kill themselves. Try doing stuff to keep their mind off of it. Give them compliments or talk to them often to make their day :)

My advice would be… Get them help. Tell them they aren’t alone. Make them feel worthy if you can. Tell them places they can go, hotlines they can call, etc. Let them know that people love them and need them.

If I was a saint, I might try to cheer them up. But as a normal person, I would ask myself why am I choosing only suicidal people for friends? My guess is that they reinforce your own depressive feelings and that gives you a sense of confirmation, which feels affirming even as it drags you down. But what they’re affirming about you is false and destructive - all those self-critical and demeaning inner thoughts.

Seek out more encouraging and hopeful friends, more uplifting things to do, to read, and to learn, and more positive ways of relating to others (including your therapist). Improving your own state of mental-emotional-spiritual health is the best thing you can do not only for yourself, but also for your suicidal friends.
