it was 2 years ago. I was with a bunch of mates when we were teenagers and my friend was really suicidal and she was cutting but I talked her into coming. She did and we passed this bunch of guys and they called her an emo skank and all this and I told her to ignore them, and she said she had but she hadn't really. We went to the train station anyways because we were going to Liverpool and she was really quiet..then we saw a train coming and she just got up and stepped past that yellow line. I was telling her to get back and she just climbed onto it. We all started telling her to get back but she WASN'T. and when the train was close I GOT ONTO THE TRACKS and I tried to pull her back but she just hopped over the track things. The train horn was going off and the security had come over and my friends were screaming "GET BACK BOTH OF YOU YOU'RE GONNA GET KILLED" and just as my friend hopped over I went back and the train went past me and it JUST missed me, it was the most terrifying experience of my life.

My friends arm got broken and we both got taken in the ambulance. she got help but I never did and that's always stuck with me, I can't get rid of that memory. Should i get help?

    You poor thing, you won't be able to shift that memory altogether I'm afraid but time will help make the pain associated with that memory easier. By all means get some therapy if you need and make sure your friend is too.

    Do you think her depression is a genetic one, is it hormonal or are there certain problems in her life causing it? How old is she by the way if you don't mind me asking? Whats stopping her from sorting out those issues?

    Those blokes who called her an "emo skank" obliviously never experienced depression. I had a bad time when I was in school, always got picked on because other kids thought I was clever and had a perfect family...but in reality I had to take extra classes to keep up, my dad had left and my mum had turned into an abusive alcoholic and it left me low. But for whatever reason I held on and I'm so glad I did because my life is amazing now, so many things I've experienced that have been wonderful which I wouldn't have been able to if I had done away with myself. You could try and convey that to her. Check on her at least once a day, take her out regularly and get her to smile over something, just give her as much support as possible. Take Care :)
