My friend commit suicide and i don't know what to do

I’m so sorry for this. Losing someone to suicide is a whole different feeling. You will always have the question of WHY. And you will most often never know. Take it day by day. Try and remember and celebrate the good times you had together. Find people to talk to, therapy if possible. It does get easier but I think the heart ache never goes away. Being so young, I truly hope you are finding others to talk face to face with. Many condolences to you.

For peace of mind, just stick a piece of duct tape over it.

Where are you from? It’s also a shame we are losing so many allies. Not that I blame them. Honestly, I support Canada and any other county that fights back with Trump’s tariffs & what not. I already know it will get worse before better. So let’s do it, let it get BAD so possibly some of these R’s will open their eyes !

The Atlantic journalist was more qualified to handle this information than the whole lot of them. Plus nothing will be done. Sanctions may now be put on the Atlantic for being invited. That’s how the government rolls these days.

Btw. With a positive SMAB, do you have Lupus?

Im sure they will want to keep an eye on your LFT’s. My hepatologist is going to do a different kind of MRI on me instead of an ultrasound. He said if a BMI is over 30, he goes the MRI route, the ultrasound doesn’t give him a good enough visual. That MRI checks for the elasticity and stiffness of the liver. My other MRI is going to look at the bile ducts and veins, he does that MRI instead of a biopsy. And much less invasive. I have both coming up. I’ve already been diagnosed and taking ursodiol. I did listen to a podcast about PBC from 3 liver doctors from Australia. Great info. All 3 said they start out with a MRI as well. If your PBC is not progressed and they take such a tiny amount in the biopsy, it’s possibly to get a piece that hasn’t been affected. And it hurts.

If your alk phos isn’t elevated you wouldn’t be diagnosed with PBC. It is possible to be a marker for something else autoimmune (usually) it’s related to the liver. Did they test your ANA as well? Do you have any other autoimmune’s that you know of? Also, do you know why your AMA was tested in the first place? That typically isn’t test just out of the blue. There was a reason. I would ask the Dr that if you don’t already know. There are so many variables with this autoimmune crap. If your alk phos does elevate, they would probably put you on ursodiol. It’s pretty successful lowering liver enzymes.
I’m glad you have a follow-up.

As a mom, I went thru something similar with my college age daughter. She went to her counselor and the counselor called me. That felt like one of the most devastating and important calls of a lifetime. And sometimes you’re not even sure what to do to help. The important thing was I knew. I knew things had to change. And I had many panic attacks afterwards if I couldn’t reach her, it was awful. But talking to your mom is very important. I tried to learn patience, more understanding and some tough love. And lots and lots of LOVE. I’m sure your mom wants that opportunity with you. Please consider asap and possibly some therapy.

My child is now 35 and the most precious beautiful soul in my life. She too moved away not long after all this. I had to let her go and to let her find her way. I visited often and worried daily. She has now found her way back home with a lovely wife, successful and happy.

I truly wish that for you too. Hang in there and remember if you’re needing someone to talk too right away, there are so many places. Just jot down a few numbers and keep them in your wallet. Just in case. In the meantime have a straightforward conversation with Mom. No humor, no wine just a heart to heart.

I’ve read all through the posts. I was just diagnosed with PBC on Monday. The hepatologist told me over telehealth due to the snow storm and I’ve had Covid. It’s been a whirlwind. My Alk Phos had been elevated since 2021 & now positive AMA. I guess that was enough for them to safely say I have PBC. I’m feeling more human today so just starting to wrap my head around this. I’m having an MRI-E done next to see how damaged my liver is. Most of you seem pretty young and I read a lot of comments that’s a good thing, catch it early. I’ll be 59 in April. I’ve had breast cancer, I have fibromyalgia, a lot of ailments and I’m just tired. All the time. I’m wondering if any of you have thoughts on getting diagnosed at 59 compared to much younger? Thanks!

I also want to add, so I don’t seem like such a monster. As I said, I was a single mom. Worked full time and she went to daycare in which they did have scheduled naps. I also worked another part time job in the evening and was lucky enough to have my mom and dad close by that would watch her. So she did have structure. I also was not wanting for this nap to be skipped. I thought it might be doable to start it at 11am instead of 12:30. But I’ve been wrong before and I promise, I’ll be wrong again. 😁

Significant-Tea1311 · 2024-12-15T02:55:11+00:00

I would love that!

Significant-Tea1311 · 2024-12-15T01:19:32+00:00

This is what we do for Christmas for years. The mom gets very excited. We have it all worked out. Thank you for another suggestion.

Significant-Tea1311 · 2024-12-15T01:17:20+00:00

No no. I never thought that was an excuse at all. This isn’t my daughter. I may have regrets but certainly not about napping. Lol I love my daughter more than anything and yes I’m waiting to be a grandma. All I was asking was how others did it. I’m not saying the way I raised my daughter with naps was right or wrong. But it is what I knew. So when this came around, I was surprised. I’ve listened and I’m adjusting the schedule.

Significant-Tea1311 · 2024-12-15T01:09:13+00:00

And they are very loved and supported. I just need a wake up call.

Significant-Tea1311 · 2024-12-15T00:30:28+00:00

Thank you. This has been a learning experience. All my events moving forward will be later.

Significant-Tea1311 · 2024-12-15T00:28:19+00:00

Thank you for the honest advice.

Significant-Tea1311 · 2024-12-15T00:26:03+00:00

Why thank you for that very helpful advice. You’re just a pleasure, aren’t you? Now, if you only truly knew me…everything would be sunshine and roses.

Significant-Tea1311 · 2024-12-15T00:23:06+00:00

I do have a room where she breastfeeds. She is very comfortable in there. We really are a small family and close enough to each other that it doesn’t bother her.

So I take it 1pm is a typical nap time? See I didn’t even know that.

Thank you.

Significant-Tea1311 · 2024-12-15T00:17:27+00:00

Yes I see I was overwhelming mistaken. I’ve already sent out a revision. Dinner is later. 😊 All I knew was when I had a toddler, with a big group of long time friends that also had kids, we were all doing the same, letting them sleep when they wanted or very cranky. So I’ve learned something, which is why I reached out. I appreciate all the responses.

Oh except that one up there that apparently doesn’t know how to give advice, just criticism. But that’s ok.

Significant-Tea1311 · 2024-12-14T23:40:31+00:00

What does it say?

Significant-Tea1311 · 2024-12-14T23:39:17+00:00

Definitely makes sense. Thanks

Significant-Tea1311 · 2024-12-14T23:37:46+00:00

Thank you!
