Triggering (SI) - she struggles

*possibly suicide trigger too*


I've already made one thread about my friend, so im not going into the whole story... Just what's been up the last hours.

Tonight she came online and she said she had done something stupid and told me she had cut several gaping cuts. It sounded like they were gaping pretty much and needed stitches, so of course I got scared.
She was also drunk and talking about how she couldnt take things anymore.
I said that maybe she should get herself to the nearest emergency room, or that I at least could call down and ask what they thought about it.
But she said she didnt want me to..So I asked if it would help if I called her? She said she wasnt able to talk..But then, shortly after, she called me. I was extremly relieved that she called.
But the only thing I could think of was; say the right things, say the right things.
I know, there's not really anything that's "right". But still.

She was hyperventilating and laughed a lot(more like a cry-laugh). I just wanted to be with her so badly. I tried to get a hold of the situation, without nagging too much. Like asking if she had anymore alcohol(which she luckely didnt) and if she thought she would hurt herself even more than she had already done. And apart from that we just talked about regular stuff really...I started singing a song from her favorite musical, well at least I tried. And I said I was looking forward to us seeing it together again soon. And I also said that she could come to my place tomorrow if her parents told her she had to go to school(cause she said she wouldnt be able to go...but that her parents maybe would make her)..
And she said she wanted to. But, I mean, she was pretty drunk and all that stuff, so I dont expect her coming, but at least she knows im here right?

I sent her a sms later, asked if she was ok. And she answered that her parents had found her crying, and she was sleeping in their room now. So that made me extremly relieved! But they didnt know anything about the cutting and all that...

Anyway, the point with this thread was basically that I need some support myself

I mean, she should really see someone. But I cant force her. I even think that maybe she should've been hospitalized...Cause this time things worked out, like they've done before, but what about next time?
She's not the type who screams out and exaggerate, so she is really struggling.

But I dont know what to do about it...Getting hospitalized in this country is like a struggle in itself.

Hi there - i don't really know what to suggest. But i think you need to obviously think about what's best for her, but also for yourself. Sounds like the situation is very distressing for you. Is there anyone you can tell that may be able to support her too or find her the help she needs.
But you're being an amazing friend giving her so much support. Well done! And I hope your friends stays safe.

You are a very good friend to her. I think talking to your psych about her could help. My Mum has severe mood swings. I told my psych about my Mum. My psych then had a chat with my Mum and arranged her to go to group therapy sessions, which really helped her.



PM me if you want a PDF copy of the ICD-10 or the Mental Health Act 1983/2007. I ALSO HAVE THE DSM-V BOOK and am a pharmacology student.

I have a visual impairment / neurological problems so I need people to type in clear text and no funny fonts. Also excuse any typos, my vision blocks things out.
I have autism and have problems communicating, PMs included.
Just becasue I type well doesn't mean I speak well. I am only part time verbal.
