I have a friend who had attempted suicide for three times..her reason is mainly because of depression..she's depressed because she had to stop studying because she can't support her studies anymore,the second is because of her love life and the third was because of her fight with her dad.. I often tell her that it's not the right thing to do but she stilldo it...she said she can't think of any other way to solve her problems..the worst attempt she did was the second one,she lost alot of blood then..she told me about her problem and she said that the family of her boyfriend doesn't want her with their son just because she doesn't go toschool anymore they thought she's just a bad influence to her..I kept on telling her before that it's not her fault why she can't study anymore and that's just not the right guy for her..it's been years now since her last attempt and I'm pretty happy these things she do had stopped for now.. Guys do you think there's a possibility that she'll be suicidal again because of depression??As one of her closest friend I'm abit worried until now..

I think it is always possible especially if they have symptoms of depression. You should keep the communication open with her. Your friend should see a doctor and get treatment for her depression.

depression is overloading the mind with multiple thoughts or pressures, that the mind or brain cannot able to withstand..so we burst out in depression and tension.

If she is still surrounded by the things that trigger the depression then she will think about doing it again. I would encouraged her not to give up hope. She can go to a personal advisor who can help her in setting goals and helping her to achieved it. She can also visit this site http://blog.financiallysmartonline.com and read the budget, savings and goals categories. Nothing in life is unachievable it is only for us not to give up hope and to work towards the dreams we set.
