In reply to Suicidal friend, klonopin and alcohol problem, posted by bql on March 27, 2007, at 14:24:47
Welcome to Babble, bql. I'm sorry you are in such a difficult situation with your friend. There is a section of the FAQ which talks about how to cope with a poster who is expressing suicidal ideation. Though it doesn't directly apply, you might find some useful information there: http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#suicidal
I've added a trigger warning to the subject line in this thread, since this topic can be upsetting to some here.
Finally, we also ask that no one post information that could be used to harm themselves or others.
From the FAQ
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#civil "Information that could be used to harm oneself includes both how much it takes to overdose and how one can find out how much it takes to overdose. Please don't post information like that even if your intent is to warn others.Trying to figure out what to do in your situation is very difficult. I'm glad you came here for support and advice, and I also encourage you to consult a doctor, therapist or counselor, clergy, trusted family or friend to help you with this. And if your friend is in imminent danger to himself, please call 911 for him.
Take care of yourself, too.
