friends help: I really, really need someone’s help. - Help.com

As someone who was once suicidal, it doesn’t sound to me like B is suicidal at all. It sounds like she is a master of manipulating others through guilt. If she was truly suicidal, she’d be dead by now. Taking one’s own life typical doesn’t depend on how many hugs they get and it’s not something that someone who typically plans on doing it goes around telling others they’re going to do it. As you’ve pointed out, it sounds more like B is a blackmailer than suicidal. Since I don’t know her, I can only state my opinion. You stated that A just can’t do anything about it. That’s not true. She can - she just choses to stay in that abusive environment. Maybe she needs to feel that she is so needed by another human being that they would die without her. Again, I don’t her but have seen this type of behavior many times in many people in bad relationships. She needs to understand that if she left, and B did take her own life, it would not A’s fault. B isn’t even serious about getting help if she’s lying to a counselor and asking A to do the same. I wish everyone involved the best of luck and hope this helps a little.

she.. isn’t like that. o.O she.. like… physically follows my friend around and.. hurts her. And punches her. and pins her against walls and nasty stuff. It’s really not nice. And thanks anyway Scatt. And thanks cbrmanj, that’s pretty much what I thought. I dunno what I can suggest she does though?…

It’s okay? XD

Well “Dreams”, I am a 37 year old instructor of self defense so my tolerance for people physically abusing another is zero! That’s why I love to teach people to defend themselves. The best way to do that? Start by ending abusive relationships - no excuses. I understand some people are stalked and if this is the case, then she needs to ask her family or friends for help against the abuser. People get killed by whacko’s like that. It’s not something to screw around with!
