Right, a very good friend of mine (Mary - name changed) is talking to me on MSN, and she's very unhappy.

Two years ago today a close friend of hers hanged herself off a motorway bridge.

Mary is feeling guilty, very guilty about this. Mary is convinced that the girl had had it all planned out before hand, and that the girl was making subtle hints about it all day to Mary.

Mary is possibly very close to doing the same, she's a messed up girl.

What can I say or do to Mary to try and help her out?

Serious answers only.

Please.

~~~

UPDATE; She's not going to top herself. Thank God. But she's still insanely guilty.

Depressed people can hide a lot, and a suicidle person will not tell anyone what they are going to do. They blame themselves for everything that happens to them and they believe death is the only way out for them. Everyone else will be better off without them. Guilt is always the worst part of this tragedy. No one is to blame when this happens. There are a lot of places you can ring for help or someone to talk to. The samaritans are there 24 hours a day. 0845 7 909090 also www.samaritans.org.

Just try to convince her that it's not her fault and that she couldn't have seen it coming.

Righty mister niddle, here you go, send her here - http://www.a1b2c3.com/suilodge/

Its huge cheer up; or alternatively paste bits of it that you think will help her. Its cheered me up from the deep bowels of depression many times.

Also 0345 90 90 90 - the samaratains.

Hope she's ok.

I can't really add to anything people have been saying... you just can't change what's happened, and maybe under circumstances things could have been different, but what has been has been. I doubt very much the girl who killed herself would have wanted anyone to feel hurt or bad anymore than they normally would, and for your friend to be considering doing the same just can't be what the girl would ever want.

Good luck sir.
