Worried, for a close friend Options

[bambamboozle]

Well, my best friend, she's suicidal. Last year her arms were always cut up though she tried to hide it. Lately shes been talking of how funny death was and how there was nothing to live for. She can be a really nice, normal person but it's just been weird lately.
Recently she checked into a hospital. All she said was that she did something and she was sorry. She said that if she could have visitors, though she doubted it, I could come. She didn't want me to tell anyone.
I'm really worried. I think she well, tried to kill herself. I don't know what to do and I'm really concerned....
Advice?

my friend was suicidal and he said that he would sit in bed and think, If I killed myself i bet my parents would appreciate me then. and that he would think about his funeral and see all the people that cared for him at the funeral crying and wanting him back, and he wanted that to happen. But then he realized that why he was having these suicidal thoughts was just because he wanted someone to always be there and care for him. So he decided he didnt need to die and he became really religious. I know that im pointing out the obvious, but what I'm trying to saw is that you need to always be there for them and let them now that they have someone who cares about them and that if they die they will be missed and that they are loved.
