airtwardo 7 #26 June 15, 2003 I PM'd you this a few days ago but I think it's worth posting... it just may assist others- ----------------------------------------------- Been there, done that... I know it's hard because you want to help that person... you may even think that there is something YOU can do to fix everything... some 'magic' words that will return everything back to normal. You can't....and you just might make things worse by trying. What I learned is that when a person get to that point... They are in need of professional help. Most of us are not trained to truly understand, or offer the kind of help that will be effective. Be supportive of your friend in that you should do what you can to see that they get the help that they need... And understand that there is nothing you could have done to 'prevent' the attempt. Your friend is just having a priority mix-up problem... something inside pushed the importance of tomorrow back behind other things... Might be psychological...might be chemical..... A doctor needs to determine the cause and correct the problem... ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #27 June 15, 2003 so very true airtwardo. let me just clear up any confusion of my post! I was assuming she would definitely be getting some pro-help. there is a chance you may make it worse but dont abandon her to the professionals. if you have questions, ask the Dr., they will be more then happy to see someone wants to get the correct "guidelines" (for lack of a better word) to help a friendMy photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
