    Tried to overdoes on heroin and alcohol man. I don't know what the f--- to do hes such a good kid and it kills me to see him like this. He's had depression and drug problems for a long time, and went to rehab twice. I've talked to him countless times had heart to hearts with him told him how much I love him and how much we need him but it doesn't work. He just always brushes it off and says I'm fine or I love you bro don't worry I'm good. I feel like I'm going to lose my best friend to this s--- and I don't know what to do.

    It doesn't help man his family knows everything. They've sent him to rehab, therapy everything. What else is there to do?

    Try to schedule an intervention of sorts

    If that doesn't work, do your best to have him fully committed to rehabilitation

    he needs to get into an intensive rehabilitation and therapy program. anti-depressants are a must as well. he needs someone else to take control of his life right now, because it's evident he is incapable of doing so himself.

    I knew a kid who threatened to k--- himself, didn't even try and I know for a fact he wasn't going to do it. But just for making the threat he was taken by the police to the hospital for psychiatric evaluation and they didn't let him leave until they knew he wasn't a threat anymore which was a few days. Why isn't this kid stuck in a hospital?

    Getting mental evaluation and some anti-depressants won't do anything? Yeah, you're right. Let him go home and do more heroin so he can work through his problems on his own

    My brother did some serious damage to himself a few years ago with a box cutters and now has multiple, deep scars down the length of his arms. He was in the hospital for maybe 4 hours, and I'd say 3 of them were spent in the waiting room. It's kind of f----- up how lenient hospitals can be when it comes to the care of psychiatric patients.

    Yeah I guess it depends on the hospital but it's better than not doing anything

    You have to get him to a 6 month in patient rehab or you will lose your friend forever.

    I don't really have anything to contribute but I sure hope he gets the support he needs. I can't fathom what you and his family are going through as well.

    one of my good mates hung himself in year 11... i was devastated
    i think its just completely selfish, comitting suicide is ending your problems but starting maybe 50 peoples problems

    they need help immediately

    That's a very f----- up view to have and the fact that it's so prevalent is depressing. Humans are built to survive. If someone commits suicide they're going against their strongest natural instinct. Something isn't right there. The psychological pain that must have been felt by anyone who's been driven to k--- themselves must literally be unbearable. Losing a close friend is really really tough, I've been there. But if someone ends their life they aren't doing it to hurt others. They do it because they can't see any way of dealing with an unbearable level of pain, and they can't see a point in the future where they don't feel that pain. That's pretty f---ing dark. Try to understand victims of suicide instead of insulting them.

    To understand them you would have to be depressed yourself amirite?

    I don't hope i will ever understand those people, suicide should never become an accepted way of dealing with problems imho.

    "Try to". And no, the vast majority of people who are depressed don't k--- themselves, so they can't fully understand suicide victims. To understand them you would have to have killed yourself, or tried killing yourself (a proper attempt, not a "cry for help"). So 99.9% of people (myself included) will never truly understand them or come close - which is also why we shouldn't judge them. We should try to have empathy for people who are literally feeling as bad as you can possibly feel from a psychological standpoint.

    So you think we should insult suicide victims because that'll deter other people from killing themselves? I don't think that's how it works buddy.
