anyone know anything about dramamine? Motion sickness pills. They trip you out bad if you OD on them.
my friend has been seeing a therapist for a while, but that’s obviously not helping, so… I really don’t know what else to do… I found her blog. I don’t know if she wanted me to or not, but…
I’m asking for your help, internet.
she doesn’t want to die, not really. I think. she told me she just kinda wants everything to… stop. just for a while… nothing permanent. I think.
she’s been doing drugs. maybe as a way to escape the world for a while.
Pieces of Me — that’s her blog. I’m mentioned a few times as “Ian”…
I don’t know how to save her, but I know I’m the only one with any power to right now.

who
just be there for her
thats all you can do
I read some of her blog and you are right that it doesn’t sound like she truly wants to die permanently, at least in one post it didn’t. Maybe she just needs support, and it doesn’t have to be from a shrink. Just show her that you’ll be there for her maybe? Sorry I can’t be much help, but I hope she’ll be alright.
I don’t know if that’s enough any more…
Talk to her parents
I’ve tried. she went into therapy for a while, but she’s off now. if you’ve read those posts on her blog…
it never really helped her.
There really isn’t much anyone here can do. You have to help her. The fact that she mentions you in her blog obviously means she’s still thinking of you. Whether it’s negative or positive, the fact is you have a direct link with her and you know her on a personal level. That means you have the ability to influence her thoughts moreso than what we can do anonymously over the Internet.
So, talk with her and be persistent about it. You don’t have to talk about her problems all the time, but just keep talking to her and try to let her speak to you about her thoughts more.
I don’t know if that helps at all, but I don’t think spamming her blog would help either. I hope everything goes okay for you. If you have any other problems, feel free to post more.
It’s a matter of her talking to the right person. She’s in a lot of pain, and she needs to find out the origin, otherwise it’s a vicious cycle and she’ll stay on the same track until she’s able to feel the pain and address it.
What helped me is when people were real. They allowed me to be me without my feeling I needed to try to put on an act. Let her know how she feels is okay, and there’s no blame-you love her unconditionally…just allow it to be as normal as possible.
You can skype me, softsoul9.
Good luck.
May I ask what ultimately happened to this person?
I wish I would have reached this thread sooner, but I’m fairly certain I already know what the outcome is…
