I'm so scared my friend set a date and I think it could be a suicide date especially with everything that's happened she tried to run away to my house even though I live far from her it's so bad I'm scared I love her but I don't know what to do when she relies on me I fear I'll mess up and lose her

    Hey @Sims thank you for sharing and I’m so sorry about what your going through, there actions isn’t your responsibility.

    You could contact emergency services
    A trusted adult
    One of there family members

    Boundaries can be super helpful, it’s great your wanting to help them but remember you come first and it’s okay to say “look no I’m not a professional you need to contact a professional”
    Sometimes when the people most like you don't love you, it is a hurt that can cause the greatest pain, and this pain can lead you to hate everything.

    hey @Sims 🙂

    i’m really sorry you’re going through this - that sounds terrifying and so heavy and i can only imagine how scared and helpless you must feel right now. you are so clearly someone who loves deeply and wants to help, and your friend is lucky to have someone like you!

    it’s important to remember though that you don’t have to do this alone. if you think she’s in immediate danger, please make sure you reach out to someone who can step in,
    like a trusted adult, her parents, a school counsellor, or even emergency services if it’s urgent. i know that’s a hard step to take, but it could be the one that saves her life.

    you’re not “messing up” by needing help. being someone’s support doesn’t mean you have to carry everything by yourself. you have already done something brave by talking about this and we are all so proud of you!
