• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

today, from 7-10pm there was a school dance. (it is 10:30 now) one of my friends, He has had some massive depression. He has been adicted to cigarretts, alchole, and other various drugs. we all thought he was doing better. He left the dance early, alone, some of my other friends got a text message or something from him saying: good by. My girlfriend dated him once and she told me she was worried about him tonight, she told me that if he made up his mind, he would stop for nothing. one of my good friend who knows him she also has know 2 other people that have chosen suicide, and she talked to them as they did it, she also agreed that if something didn't happen within the 15 min, then it was too late. I toyed with telling the officer that was at the dance, but noone wanted to get them involved. I know deep down that the only people that could help were the cops, and the girl who knew the 2 other suicides thought so too, but she didn't want to make it a big scene. Ryan would go through with what ever faster if he was confronted by cops. so we called a friends mom, she can solve most anything, she is good at things like that. she came and picked up the kids that could go, and they were on there way to his house. and thats where I am. I know nothing more, alive or dead, or dieing, I know nothing else, I really fear if it is what I think it is, (gun) then others could be in danger too, we all knew he has a glock 9mm. pistol, so right now, I am alittle scared, I am worried for all the people that went to him, I am worried for that people who were emotionally attached to him. and I am worried for him, I have a feeling that he won't be there monday morning living.

help.

Hi CWR,

Someone very dear to me is having increasing suicidal thoughts and I have no idea if he is alive this weekend. I know how you are feeling... and the worry and fear is huge. I will pray for your friend. No matter what is going on his life... his life is valuable and worth living. I pray that come Monday your friend is alive and getting the help he needs. :prayer:

I will pray for your friend and you. I hope you are able to talk to him. If he knows that their are people that really care about him he wont do anything. I had this problem a couple years back. Before I started reaching out to God. I was really depressed and didn't know where my life was going. I started to think of people that would miss me and I could only come up with two; My dad and my grandma. I think they are the only reasons I made it through those stages of my life. After I got over all that I started to volunteer to stay away from all the depression and now I really love it. I am going to become a youth leader in a month.

So remember to just let your friend know that you are their. Try to keep him busy and with a friend a lot while he maybe going through this.

May my prayers be with you.
Jacob

That is really great I am happy for you and your friends that saved him. I hope he never gets that depressed again. Make sure you try to keep in contact with him so he knows that someone cares.
