Dear Group today i experience a terrifying experience with a member of this group, i am not going to give out her username for her privacy, but I need you to think of this girl today, she attempted suicide while i was online with her, I live in a different country then she does and she didn't want to give me anything so i could help her!!! For 10 Minutes she told me that she was taking pills and then she was gone, THANK GOD, a friend of hers showed up asked me what was going on and called 911 and the emts said she would be okay!!!

So my dear friend is in the hospital, and i am here with my heart breaking, so please just take a moment and send well wishes to this friend of mine, they will know where to go. And please if anyone has advice of how to get information to save a life, then you need to help me, i don't want to be this useless ever again and i don't want to see my friend die.

Thank you!

I am sorry for how powerless you felt and that your friend felt that the only way to end the pain was by taking her own life. I know of someone who has experienced a similar situation to yours, Unfortunately the situation did not end as well as you and your friends did. My friend still feels tremendous guilt that they were unable to prevent the situation. I will ask if they have any advice to offer.

Just know that both of you are in my thoughts!

I am sorry, but what your ``friend`did was very cruel. To try and end thier own life is bad enough, but to make you essentialy witness their attempt is horrible.They obviously didnt care that you could be tramatized by what they were doing to themselves. I hope they get help, but I hope also you get some as welll, at least find someone to talk about your feelings about what happened to. good luck.

She is in my prayers as well. I know exactly how it feels to sit helpless behind a computer screen or on the phone, nowhere near that person who so desperately needs your help and helpless to give the help you so much want to give!
I would think that your friend was so lost in her own pain that she would not, could not, consider what effect she was having on you, but I do agree that you need to either talk or journal out your feelings on this and try to heal that wound you received during your friend's suicide attempt. We all know how it feels to be powerless and helpless because of our experiences with sexual abuse, and this has to have triggered some of those same feelings all over again. I urge you to try to get it out and deal with this as it could very well pile up on top of the other things you are having to go through in your recovery.
She is safe and getting help now. So that means YOU need to make sure of your OWN safety and health now.
