guys i have this problem well actually, its my friend who has this problem whenever she feels depressed (with work, life, love, etc), she seriously considers committing suicide. and she doesn't want to get any help from a doctor or psychologist. if she doesnt commit suicide, she slowly kills herself by not eating, sleeping, etc seriously, im lost. i dont know how to console her any ideas? thanks!!

i remember i was exactly like your friend. it is quite a problem you know... i think you should go with her to a doctor. it is very important for her to get help. And most important, talk to her and be as long as you can beside her(excuse my language, i am from romania)

...well,.. your problem is quite sensitive,.. especially to your friend.. ... lets try this... every time she is in the mood of killing herself, try to find out what was the reason why she's in it... and just talk to her in away you can... listen to her and let her talk... in a way, she is beginning to open herself and at the same it becomes a therapy.. just what the psychologist do to their client. they let them talk...after that you can state your opinion and be positive in every sense or opposite to what she's thinking..

maybe u can pretend to be her psychologist and just be there to listen to her...maybe she just needs someone to listen to her problems and be there for her...if u r not there for her, she just might kill herself. so, just be a good friend and be there for her...

I think you need to convince here that she needs to consult a psychologist. Matters like this we need to go to professionals. If we need advice from business we go to a businessman. So if we need advice from a psychological issue, you have to accompany her to a psychologist. This is not a simple matter. You should also let the parents know, in case the parents doesn't know.
