What to do....

[smt]

Not sure where else to check on this one, so thought you all may have some ideas. I have a friend that I fear should be on a suicide watch of some sort. She is HEAVILY medicated most of the time and is generally irate about everything. Seems to be getting worse by the hour. I try to stay with her as much as possible but can't be with her 24/7. Am VERY worried about this. What to do?????

Does she live alone? What meds is she on and for what?

Damn, that is a lot of stess on you. Even if she is doing it for attention.

Will she talk to her DR?

Yes, she is threatening suicide; more so lately than before. Yes, she lives alone. I'm terrified that she sill OD. She is on a couple different brands of anti-depressants along with sleeping pills and I am not sure what the names are. Loooong story, but she does go to counseling, has for a long time and has had zero improvement. I have been helping her with her work for weeks now because she can barely function. She just called me, screaming at the top of her lungs and I couldn't understand a word that she said. I'm going to leave here in a couple of minutes and go check on her.

No parents, they aren't living. She doesn't speak to any of her other family. She has 3 children, all grown, very disfunctional. One is mentally ill and the other two have legal problems/drug problems/alcohol problems. Her boyfriend has all but disconnected from her. So.... I'm it.

No, she doesn't post here.

Bad situation......way to much stress on you....

Time to take her to the Dr's and sit in on the meeting.
Maybe even talk to the Dr on your own.

Call the police as Clockwork said - have her pink slipped for a short period.
