I have a friend who gets depressed and has tried to commit suicide 3 time (and almost succeeded every time. The full moon is almost here and I would like to do a spell to try and help rid or lessen those feelings for him. I will be doing the spell myself so am looking for ideas or suggestions.
A spell will not change another person's depression. That person must choose to change.
Not many people who attempt suicide want to kill themselves; they feel there is no other choice, and do so with mountains of regret.
But depression can be faced and mastered.
I have taken my own long and difficult road. I am still depressed, of course, and occasionally is it still difficult. But I am master of it now, not the other way.
My one actual piece of advice is to convince your friend to seek help. Sponsor and support them. Do not pity them!
Thank you. It is not pity I'm giving. I am trying to help lessen his depression. I realize I cannot take it away and I'm not trying to do that. The attempts were substantial and not a call for help. He was just lucky enough each time that people got to him in time (he drove headlong into a telephone pole. An off-duty paramedic came upon him a couple minutes later & saved his life - the other two attempts where as bad and someone came along as well to save him - it was just not his time). He is getting help and is dealing with it day to day. But if I am at all able to help by lifting some of the heavy weight he feels then it will help. Ultimately they always have a choice no matter what we do - but there's no harm in throwing in a good luck charm or two as it were...:)
Well being an suicide attempt survivor myself, all i can say is that, well.. if he's getting help by proffesionals and stuff, all you can really do is be there. Be his guide, be there for him and don't abandon him.. that's really all you can do. :s
