Friend being stupid?


Issue
my friend keeps making comments like "i don't matter, i wish i was dead, there's no point to keep living" She also told me tonight that she has several ways to kill herself. I know she is just saying it to get attention cause she cuts herself too. Is there any reason i should take her seriously? I yelled at her and hit her earlier today cuz she said she was going to do it tonight or in the next few days whenever she got the chance. Now she won't answer my calls. i called her dr and he said he'd check up with her. I know i need to just ignore her so she'll stop getting attention by saying stuff, but how do i know for sure if one day she is serious. she never used to say crap like this and ive known her for like 5 yrs. What can i do besides play her games? I don't wanna ditch her cuz shes my best...

Best Tip
You hit your friend? I wouldn't answer your calls either.

If she's cutting herself and saying that she wants to kill herself, it's more than just "wanting attention." She's probably emotionally disturbed and needs help, not hitting.

Others
seek professional help, or get her to. get involved
She needs professional help. Hold an intervention and make her go seek help. They will evaluate her and give her meds.
Anytime anyone makes these type of comments - take him or her seriously.

If no one will listen to you - call a suicide hotline and tell them just exactly what you've posted here ... they will be able to accurately guide you.

You're a good friend.
Oh man, you have a crazy friend! If I were you, I would stop seeing her and find another friend!
Well dont hit her you moron what is that going to solve? yeah nothing. Ok so you ignore her and she actually does it then you will feel pretty bad. Try and get her help because whether its for attention or not tell someone who can help.
This is something that you need to worry about. This is very serious. Do not ignore her. Call her parents, get them involved. You don't know for sure that she is just saying it for attention, it could very well be a cry for help.

You need to tell someone about it, tell her parents, tell a teacher, tell a guidance counselor. Those are all signs that need to be taken very seriously.
