My friend plans on killing herself in 10 years.

I have a friend who recently dealt with the death of her boyfriend. They had been really close and like best friends since they were in middle school. For some reason she tells me a lot of things and even though our friendship isn't the closest we can open up to each other rather easily. Recently she told me that she was gonna off herself in 10 years. She says she wants time to finish all the things she is currently doing and by the time she's 30 she will just end it all. Just time to finish these goals and then not go on anymore. Also saying stuff that she would rather "play god and be in control of her own fate." Seems like her boyfriend's death has really affected her more than anyone else thought. Maybe telling me all this is a cry for help. I don't know whether or not I should tell someone. She might get sent away somewhere and maybe that isn't the best answer. Maybe her closest friends are the better people to tell so we can talk her out of this plan. She's a good person with a life ahead of her and it would be a shame to see it tragically cut short because of something like this. I'm gonna help her. I just don't know how to go about it. Advice?

    Just be there for her. Let her know that you wouldn't like it, but you understand if that is the decision that she feels she has to make.

    10 years is a long time when you're young. Who knows, maybe by then she'll have changed her mind.

    Even though her plan is for 10 years from now, don't take that threat too lightly. You should tell someone IMMEDIATELY. Threatening suicide is a serious thing, whether it's for now or years from now. What if she changes her mind and does it sooner, and you won't be able to stop her?

    Yes, she'll probably be upset at first that you said something, but it's a small price to pay if it saves her life.

    Coming from personal experiences, I'm glad my friend told my parents when I was feeling that way. I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for her. Trust me.

    I seriously hope this helps <3
