i need help my friend is messed up and i really need to know how to help?

Question:

my friend has bullimia (dont know if i spelt it right?), she is depressed and suicidal and has many problems with her past (she was sexualy abused most of her life). she has just started new anti depressants and they are playing her moods a bit(mood swings). she is seeing a councelor and phycologist and doctors and stuff but she seem to be getting worse. i am worried about her, i want to help but there is only so much i can do. she is only 16 and so am i we live together with my boyfriend and she spends alot of time in her room crying to music. she gets angry and tries to kill herself or cuts herself. they cannot admit her into hospital coz they dont think its serious enough even the police cant get her in there. how can i be there for her without making her feel smothered or uncomfortable. i cant leave her alone alot for fear she will hurt herself... i want her to eat properly but i dont want 2 push her 2 far and have her throw up again. what do i do. only serious answers please.

Answers:
to be honest, all you can do for her is listen and support her. She needs to be hospitalised most likely and as much as you may think you could never do it, when she's suicidal call 911. As for the eating disorder, she needs treatment for that as well and if you want to email me i can give you more info. When the hospitals wont admit her, or the police cant get her in, kick up a fuss, or search out a better hospital near your area that has a good psych department. I can help you with that too if you wanna say where you're from. email me if you want me to try and help. I have a pretty good knowledge base when it comes to all of these issues.

Other Answers:
*YOU* can't help. Only a qualified therapist can help.

Three 16 year olds living together? That has disaster written all over it. I hear a pregnant teen story coming.

I'm so sorry. Just give her love and tell her how special she is to you.

just sit with her you dont even have to say anything she will talk when she's ready but sometimes its nice to know someones there

just be supportive and listen to wat she says. tell her ur happy shes living wit u. im sorry for her.

good luck

I feel sorry for your friend.. but you know no one can help her except God. no one can take away the pain and hurts that she is feeling right now. believe in Jesus and pray with her.. pray for her and ask everyone to pray for her... only prayer can help her and anyone....
about her past she can only forget it when she will begin to pray and read the Bible, believe me.. PRAY PRAY PRAY and PRAY...
