i think my friend is lying about suicide attempts
| How the hell could we know?
| Well your friend obviously needs help, no matter what.
| Could she be lying that she's making an attempt? Easily. That doesn't mean she isn't having suicidal thoughts, it might just mean she can still talk herself down. She could also be faking that and just saying it for attention, but if she needs the attention that badly, she's probably not mentally healthy anyways so the same problem is just on the way. So I doubt she is faking the problem, even if she's faking the details.
| That being said, don't let her walk on you. This probably makes it harder to be mentally healthy for both of you. Talking to her about if she's in therapy might be more helpful (just remember not to judge her or do more for her than she asks). At the least, she'll be considering ways to help herself while you give her the attention she needs. Gl g/u/rl
| She needs help. No matter the reason why she keeps doing that, it's a cry for help in one way or another. Never write off someone completely when it comes to stuff like that. Fake or not it's a sign of being mentally unstable.
So don't be like that towards her. Like, don't give her shit for it even if you somehow find hard evidence that she isn't actually planning to attempt, because feeling hated and unwanted and shit is the last thing she needs from the sound of it.
| Attention whore. Disregard
| At the end of the day you also have to keep your own mental in mind. Granted it's a great deal more serious than the person that complains all the time for sympathy and should be taken on face value.
They could be faking, they could not.
Big butts, i doubt you're qualified to unpack what's up in there and are ill equipped to do so. Good wishes and affirmation can only go so far. So advocate to see a professional is about as much as you can do. Sounds unstable so dont call out.
| Outside of that, I would suggest calling her someday outside of her breakdowns, I know it may be taxing or difficult, but she need the attention and just being called and thanked of like that makes one feel important to other people and cared of, it's the most you can do outside of what you are already doing and without calling her out, sometimes we just need to talk, about whatever, our feelings, if we are at all, a cool rock we found.
| Call her up, tell her a little about your day and then ask her about how hers went, ask I f she ate at all, what she saw on Netflix/the internet, any plans for tomorrow, you may not be a psychologist or professional, but you are her friend, and being there, giving her space to be heard will probably do her wonders, be there, I know you already are with her on the breakdowns, but it's better if you also make her see you are there outside of those.
| Please take care of her, g/u/rl, I wish you two the best of luck and hope you two find a way to deal with you own mental health. Don't let her state bring you down, but still procure to help her climb up from the void. Remember that all cries for help are serious and valid. If it takes a toll on you, you can count on us. Good luck, and good health to you two.
| You can AT LEAST send her proper instructions. Several attempts on a week without success? She is such a newbie.
| >>759750 suicide daily sounds honestly unbelievable, but it doesn't mean that is joking.. (s)he can feel really bad, self harming multiple per day and so
| i do basically the same, it's just whoring for attention, just let us die tbh
| >>760506
Nah, you're a mentally ill loser who gets triggered into downward spirals every time someone mentions Marxism. See you in another 24 hours, suicide-boy.
| At this point you can't do anything but just keep assuming she'll actually pull the trigger next time. Try to get help for her though. Like an actual therapist.
| Another attention whore who loves to tease simps. Next
| There's a really tiny chance somebody would sit down and think "today I'm going to pretend to be suicidal to my friends." Even if this person really is 'doing it for attention' and not actually wanting to die, they're almost certainly in a lot of distress, maybe attachment stress at the time and desperately trying to do what worked to reduce it last time. Think drug withdrawal, but you don't even get to get high from fulfilling the impulse, just less triggered
| I really like what >>f56dcb said - being present/supportive and maybe providing a better method for her to start perciving to get her needs met, but also putting some distance between op and this behavior that's really stressful and dangerous. But yeah, one way or another some kind of professional would probably be necessary
| maybe she just to lonely
and play this joke to let u guy Pay attention to her......
....
| Try killing her yourself, then ull kno if she rly wants to die

| about 2 months ago she sent a message in our discord server saying she was going to end her life. this of course put everyone into a panic and we did everything we could to talk her out of it, and it seemed to work. but then she did it again roughly 2 weeks later. and then again. and again. and again. now this is just a nightly thing almost every day at around 9 pm, and she always comes back in 2 or 3 hours.
do you gurls think she could be faking?
