@Monarch24 I obviously don’t know your exact circumstances, but I feel I must say that although it’s really difficult to believe now, there was nothing more you could have done. I’m sure there will be plenty of devastated people around your friend who are all feeling the same thing but in the end it was her decision.

Please make sure you have the support you need at this time because your mental health is now a priority. As others have mentioned, if your friend had broken a leg then it would have been visible and adults who can deal with it would have taken over, helping mend the break and taking over the practicalities of looking after everyone. The same isn’t always true for mental illness and it’s often necessary for the one involved to shout loudly that they need support, which isn’t normally the nature of the illness.

You, your friend’s family and other friends will be in my prayers.
