Help Guys my friend won’t stop attempting suicid and self harm it’s worrying me and they gotten so close so many times and I don’t know what to do anymore they won’t listen to me when I ask them to stop and I don’t know what I should say or how to help…

And I feel like a bad friend because I can’t help

I feel the most you can do is offer some kind words and try to comfort them.

but im not really good at giving advice

I'd say consult a professional, either offer your friend to talk to a therapist or a suicide hotline (which is free and anonymous), if you feel like your friend is open enough to try that.
Otherwise you yourself can also call a suicide hotline or a different support center and say that you are concerned for your friend. They will give you instructions on what to do (it's also anonymous if you want to).

follow this person’s advice, not mine

[sick marsh]

They won’t let me call them unfortunately

[timber bramble]

Who won't?

[sick marsh]

The person I am worried about

[timber bramble]

Have you properly sat down with your friend before (on a specific time and date) and have told them everything you need to in detail (how much they matter to you, how much you want them to get help, how sad and worried you are for them, etc.)? I'd suggest actually writing everything down before and to ask them afterwards how exactly they are feeling.
Otherwise you could call a suicide hotline or a support center yourself, your friend doesn't have to know. Only if you feel comfortable enough with that of course.
Other than that, I honestly don't know. Only a professional would know what to do and I'm sadly no professional.

[sick marsh]

Yeah I’ve talk to them and they have told me what’s the problem but no matter how I try to help I can’t

[timber bramble]

I'm very sorry for you. I can't imagine how terrible that must feel. I admire that you are trying everything to help that person, but sadly things like mental health are very complicated. Please remember that nothing is your fault, even if you feel like you could've done more. You are doing a lot already. You could consult other real life people for more advice, but don't put too much pressure on yourself because you matter as well. I wish all the best for you and your friend ❤️

[sick marsh]

Thank you so much for that

if this is the situation then i guess you can try following my earlier advice
