Friend being stupid?

Question: my friend keeps making comments like "i don't matter, i wish i was dead, there's no point to keep living" She also told me tonight that she has several ways to kill herself. I know she is just saying it to get attention cause she cuts herself too. Is there any reason i should take her seriously? I yelled at her and hit her earlier today cuz she said she was going to do it tonight or in the next few days whenever she got the chance. Now she won't answer my calls. i called her dr and he said he'd check up with her. I know i need to just ignore her so she'll stop getting attention by saying stuff, but how do i know for sure if one day she is serious. she never used to say crap like this and ive known her for like 5 yrs. What can i do besides play her games? I don't wanna ditch her cuz shes my best...

Answers:
You hit your friend? I wouldn't answer your calls either.

If she's cutting herself and saying that she wants to kill herself, it's more than just "wanting attention." She's probably emotionally disturbed and needs help, not hitting.
