My best friend tried to commit suicide by over dosing on aspirin, what should i do to give a hand her?
Answers: I apoligize for "blonde's" answer some associates still don't understand that depression is a mental bug and not a bid for attention.
I'm sure that she has be depressed for quite a while. Very imagined your friend will be working with a phyciastricist and a phycologist impressively intensly for the next few weeks and will expected be put on several different meds to help her. There is really no describing how they will affect her and the asprin itself will have made her drastically uncomfortable (headache, nausaua etc.) She will most potential not seem exactly approaching herself when you see her. So you should be prepared for her being groggy, sleepy, or extreamly out of sorts.
What she requests right now is a friend. Someone who will listen and will be in attendance for her no matter what. Don't verbs if she is moody when you first go into see her to be precise normal, lying on the meds she is likely embasesed just about having depression because ethnic group still look down on it so much. Just let her know that you arn't going anywhere. If she requests to talk to you, thats fine but you also own to understand that she may not be equipped to talk.
Also balloon are nice, hospital rooms are really steral....it might cheer her up, and it's always nice to take a present. :)
let her amount it out
lets say aloud shes relly happy and she return with unhappy when her bf dumps her
she think her life is over
everyday wiill catch better she cant be depressed all the time
shes choosing to seize attention and to be depressed
LET HER FIGURE IT OUT
This is going to be one of the hardest things that you will ever hear. There is not much you can do to make sure this does not ensue again. You are not trained to "cure" her. The best thing you can do for her is form sure she knows she still have a friend that is in attendance for her. When you visit her she may not want your comfort and she may not want to natter about what she did. On the other mitt she may want someone she knows and trusts to articulate to. The people surrounded by the hospital are new and can be massively intimidating. Basically you are goint to have to follow what ever front she gives you. Don't forget that the medication that she may be taking can take some getting used to and she may appear slower, grogy, or spaced out. Please keep self her friend and give her time.
