Question Just a quick question. - August 24th 2010, 07:49 AM

This thread has been labeled as triggering by the original poster or by a Moderator. Please take this into consideration before continuing to read.

If someone saved your life from suicide how would you thank them apart from just words? Because there's this girl in my Music class that pretty much saved my life yesterday by talking to me after finding out that I take Anti-Depressants. I just want to thank her because I was seriously considering ending my life yesterday but I want to thank her but by something more then just saying "Thank you."

There's no way to really thank someone who saves you other than to try to be there for them when they need you. Return the favor/Pay it forward so to speak.

If your not friends, maybe become friends. You both might have just earned a friend in her kind gesture

Because I like to write, I think I would take to writing her a letter expressing my gratitude. Or, if you like to express yourself in other ways, such as drawing, work with that. I also agree with Adonai and Laura's points about being a friend to her in return. That is really important.

I'm glad you were so moved by this young lady's gesture! Take care!

Be-friend her. Other then that I wouldn't suggest doing anything else.

Yeah, be friends with her. And when you feel ready and comfortable with it, thank her in a meaningful way. You don't even have to tell her why. Just look her in the eyes, and thank her.

Give her a hug and thank her, I don't know if you are comfortable hugging people but hugs always say more than words.

i was thanked by someone for helping them through some tough times. the way she did it was through a sort of letter. i think that is a reallly good way to express how you feel. some things are easier written than said, and what she wrote me, really got the message across and i know how grateful she is. another important thing to keep in mind, is just to tell them how you really feel.
and it seems like she would be a really good friend to you.

I agree. you don't need to do anything fancy. just a simple hug and a thank you will mean a lot i'm sure.


..and our dreams will break the boundaries of our fears..

Don't feel as if you need to repay her or anything- I am sure a handwritten letter or a simple hug and thank you can go a long way =] People like feeling appreciated, and like helping others!

People usually don't have any idea the impact that just a gesture or a simple conversation may do for someone else...if they did, everyone would be walking around saying kind and complimentary things to each other...so let her know (from your heart), that her words literally saved your life. I agree with everyone else, if you aren't comfortable expressing them personally in words, write them in a heartfelt letter. The feeling that she will experience after reading or hearing your words will be so incredible that she will never forget it for the rest of her life. She will be able to cherish it as a "gift" forever; just as you cherish the "gift" she gave you.
Celebrate yourself for being open enough to hear her words...you had a part to play in it too! Your inner strength you revealed to yourself also needs to be noted and commended! Congratulations on finding your inner power...!!!!!

I agree with the "pay it forward", the befriending, and hug.
Or simply just say thank you, and hug her. =)
It might make her go "wtf?"
But in a good way.
Simple little things can make someone's day brighter.
OR!
Make her a cupcake and then frost a smiley face on it.
*shrugs*
It sounded cute =P
