About an hour ago, a friend of mine with Borderline Personality Disorder had a really bad turn. She told me and 2 of our friends that she hears voices, however during this "bad turn" the voices took form and spoke to us. They have expressed their dislike for us and have effectively threatened us. The girl has also revealed that she is planning to commit suicide when she turns 18 (next month) which the voices are encouraging her to do.
Whilst she says she doesn't want to lose the voices (they "help" her) me and my friends are obviously worried about her and know she has been sectioned before, though they were not aware of the power these voices have over her.
Me, the girl in question and the 2 others mentioned all take part in a self harm support group at a children's mental health centre. We want to avoid getting her mother involved, as this would backfire so we'd like to know if telling someone at our mental health centre will be enough to get her sectioned again. We are also planning to ring NHS too to see if they can do anything. We need the authorities to act quickly however as she will most likely do something drastic if she finds out that shes going to be sectioned and especially if she finds out they we're responsible.
Any help given is appreciated, we honestly don't know what to do =/

Hi there, I know that it's a difficult thing to do but you do have to turn her over to the authorities as soon as possible. I know that she will probably be upset and think that you've betrayed her but if she's planning on killing herself, you do have to try to help save her. It's also not typical for a person suffering from BPD to hear voices and she may be suffering from schizophrenia as well. You need to try to get as many people involved as possible, and I know that's going to be hard but you need to do it. Does that help you?

This girl obviously needs help. I strongly suggest you give 911 a call and tell them about your friend. They will have no choice but to take her in a 72-hour hold, but this may be what she needs. She may need to evaluated by a medical professional.
