One of my friends at uni <admin edit: made a suicide gesture/attempt> a couple of nights ago. She covered them up and came to class and I discovered it and talked to her about it and she explained what she did and that she wanted to be dead.
I think that she did it for attention, she is in need of help and unable to ask for it, so I think that this was her way of asking for help, but when I tried to take her to counselling she refused. She talked to me for a number of hours and told me how she was (which isn't good) etc...
Anyway I dunno what to do. I mean should I just continue to be there for her or should I tell someone to try and get her help? The thing is I do not want to loose her trust but I am in no position to help her properly right now.
At uni our group of friends has just lost a close friend, she had a neurological disorder and when operated on she died, this has been a big blow for us all, but also this friend has just had her fiance of 3 and a half years dump her for someone else and she was depressed before this!
Another one of my friends has just had a miscarriage and isn't doing too well and the friend above relied on her support a lot but now she doesn't have it! So much happens at once!
