TW: mentions of suicide. So long story short, I'm a minor, and one of my friends just tried to kill themselves last week. I'm still I little 'shocked' cuz I ended up having to call the police after they posted a suicide note online. they were drinking, smoking, etc. and ppl r saying their just doing it for attention, and have done this before. I haven't known this person for long so I don't know what to believe. I want to help this person but I'm beginning to question weather they actually need it or not. and then I beat myself up for questioning them. any advice?

I've been in a similar situation. Back when I was 18 and she was 17. She had already made 4 or 5 attempts. Back when emo was still a big thing and everyone always said we did things for attention.. I would agree to try and distance yourself for your mental health but to also make sure they're getting the help they need even if it's asking your parents to follow up with theirs. When I had to have my dad call her dad during an attempt I had an anxiety attack and was shaken up as well. It's ok to be concerned about someone else but also take time for your mental health as well.

U sadly can't control their actions. They aren't ur burden to carry. I say this from personal experience,u carrying their problems will only pull u down with them and could lead to losing urself. I recommend taking a break from them and just take a breather and possibly seek some help.
