In this situation, you need to be cruel to be kind.\n\nYou tell this person how much you care and that you are worried about them, and will help them to get off drugs if they truly want to.\n\nIf they tell you that they dont - you have to walk away. Tell them when and if they are ready to give up you will be there to help them, but otherwise cut contact. They need to see what they are losing in their lives by taking drugs.\n\nIt sounds harsh I know, but this is the only way to help someone in the grip of drug addiction.

You don't. From what little you have said you have an ALcoholic for a mate. You CANNOT help him unless he wants help. But there are organizations you can call for help, like al-anon. As for him, he must be willing to step up to the plate and take responsibilities for his actions. This will be a starting point. It will take time. But unless and this is unless he is willing to step up to the plate there isn't one thing you will be able to do to help him.

This is such a sensitive question. I admire you for standing by your man in this way. It is the right thing to do. And I would get in touch with the national epilepsy foundation. I know there are resources and maybe even support groups for families or couples dealing with this issue. It is not that uncommon you know. I have actually helped someone when this happened to them. It is a little scary at first, but it is also such a loving time to be there for another human being when they obviously need you. Get some more info. Get into a network of support. I know you will be a great friend.

just give them lots of support and help with their studies. Tell them you love them and just do your best and that if there's any help they need, that your always there for them.

Be there for them when they need to talk about their issues and when you have had all you can take - do something for yourself like a bubble bath, gardening or go for a walk. Something YOU enjoy - to take your mind off their problems.\nBTW. Do not feel bad if you have to tell them you can not take any more right now.

It sounds as if your friend suffers from serious depression. I know your intentions to help her are good, but if her condition is due to psychological causes there is nothing you can do for her. She definitely needs professional help. Can't you talk to her parent about this? They have to do something less it ends in a tragedy. I admire you for being such a wonderful friend to her. And believe me, one day she will be grateful too.

Is easier for me to answer if you are the person who's want to kill yourself,but is hard to answer indirectly cause we have to touch his feeling by his words,messages or conversations.Anyways,you should e-mail him or call him,don't talk to him like he needs help,talk to him like a close friend who's care of him,concern about his feeling,talk to him about the N.H.L./N.B.A./M.L.B.etc.What ever he likes .Do you know any friends or family member lived close to him ,call them for help.may be they can give him a hand,a good timing help.

forget medication, they treat the symptom not the problem ... the best thing to do is learn relaxation techniques and put them to use if an attack comes on

1)find some hobbies....do some volunteer work, of online advocacy....then you can see how some people really have it very, very rough and you'll feel better about your own life while at the same time helping others.\n\n2)You can also answer people's questions on Yahoo Answers and then feel like you helped them.\n\n3)Talk to your spouse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

have them imagine that they need help/assistance and what having other help them feels like.  Then have them imagine the same scenario w/o anyone to help them.  Then tell them that they can fill those voids and be that person that's there to help.  Tell them that there are tons of different ways they can help.  They can be on the front line or behind the scenes. They can help out animals or humans.

Having gone through an intervention myself for a loved one, I have to say that above all, let her know that you all want the best for her, and you're scared for her.  Let her know how this situation has effected your life. (i.e., your worry for her is effecting your sleep, etc).  Good luck, I hope it goes well.

you don't need to be right next to the person to give them support. \n\ncall him and talk to him, let him know you are concerned and care for what he is going through. \n\nlet him know if he wants to talk you are available.
