Re: Need some advice... (TW: suicide)

[(Anonymous)]

Like a previous comment said, give only as much as you want to give to this person, and no more than that. You are not responsible for fixing her, and you're not responsible for anything she might do while she's depressed. I should also emphasize this: not only are you NOT responsible, you CANNOT fix her. It's just not possible, which is the primary reason why you should not feel bad when your attention can't make her better.

If she's truly depressed and suicidal, a bottomless supply of positive messages, e-hugs and reassurances about how pretty and thin she is will not cure her. That's just not how depression works.

Your friend sounds very young. When you're young, insecurity and a love of melodrama come naturally with the territory. It can be very exhausting to be friends with people like this because they make a lot of heavy emotional demands from you and they're never enough. My advice sounds harsh, but it's to gradually decrease the contact you have with her. Keep your communications positive, by all means! Tell her you're thinking about her and that you hope she gets the help she needs. Urge her to talk to her doctor/seek therapy.

But don't get emotionally invested every time she has a depressive episode. Remember, you can't help her. But she can drag you down with her, even if she doesn't mean to.
