suicide Reply to this Comment If a person has attempted suicide many times in the past, when the person continues to display suicidal ideation,Is this person just being manipulative-wanting someone to feel sorry for them or should they be taken seriously? to suzanne Reply to this Comment it can be serious also but most people do suicide beccause of the genereation past down and that the also can want to have attention is this a friend of your Teen Suicide Reply to this Comment Always take suicide seriously. You never know what he/she will do. Ask them why they are thinking about that. Tell him/her you care about them. Give him /her support as much as you can. Maybe he/she is only looking for attention. You will know. suicide Reply to this Comment Well, i myself was suicidal i attempted to hang myself when i was 11 but the branch broke. You should talk to them about seeing a therapist or anything like that. Its definately helped me. Suicide Reply to this Comment I believe it is impossible for another person to determine whether someone who has either spoken of committing suicide or has made repeated failed attempts is being manipulative or is actually trying to find the courage to go through with The Final Act. It has been my experience that sometimes people go through "dress rehearsals" and go a little bit further each time. Although what I'm about to say is not absolutely true in all cases, I would watch for signs of people giving things away, finding homes for pets and going into hiding in some way, whether it is physically changing location and contact information or simply shutting down and refusing to speak to people they care about. These last three things are, in my opinion, the red flags that tell you a person has serious plans to make that final exit. Typically, people who have really made up their minds "THIS IS IT" are calmer than usual, not hysterical, not angry. But as I said, this is not absolute. People are complex; no two are the same. Some will die because they felt angry or distraught and acted on an impulse. For these people, there is no plan and often not even a note. Use your judgment. Even if a suicide threat is a ploy for attention or cry for help, I have seen people do absolutely horrific things to themselves to get that attention or help. Calling a person's bluff will only be effective when they are truly bluffing. But if you make "the wrong call" and the person does great damage to themselves or succeeds in committing suicide, remember that it was ultimately THEIR decision. If you cannot live with such consequences and this person is someone close to you, it is probably best to get into counseling WITH them and try to understand the underlying problems. You cannot know what will trigger a suicidal impulse in another person without learning a lot about their past and how it is affecting their present behavior. Suicide Reply to this Comment ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS TAKE SUICIDE SERIOUSLY...even if this person is manipulating 1) there is a mental health issue that needs to be addressed 2) Manipulations can go wrong. it can end in death even if that wasn't the intention. hmm. Reply to this Comment If someone says they are going to committ suicide it is a cry for help and a cry from pain. It is serious to that person most likely they want a conversation more than to hurt themselves. Now if someone screams suicide that is an ultimatum with consequences and anyone hearing that should direct them to a Dr of any kind be it parent friend pysche Doc whatever get them help and dont assume you can help them remember the pain needs to be addressed. Trained professionals can interpet pain signals the average person might miss. Keep a safe distance but keep their distance safe. In other words help em out!!!!! SUICIDE Reply to this Comment If the pain is not curable the quality of life is destroyed, And have lost everything How can any psch doc help- Throw some pills at you that do NOT CHANGE the reality of unbearable loss and no life as you knew it. If suicide was easy I wouldnt be here now. More people do not suceed and end up worse. pills dont work and hanging can be painful and end up braindead its not just like i want to die and a method is reliable. I have to find a way and not live in utter agony. no one should have to be forced to live when they are truly facing more hell to come. I am not mentally ill. But my circumstances have caused suffering and isolation and humilation, walk a mile in my shoes and see if YOU COULD ENDURE IT AS LONG AS I HAVE/ you can make it Reply to this Comment Penny I know you are hurting from a dark hole so deep you cant explain where it begins and it sure feels like its not going to end...but sweetie IT WILL. I know that hole! Pray Pray and keep praying - your words from the heart ask Jesus to give you the chance to live for him and just take this dark hole away. He will I promise. I am dealing with my son who attempting suicide because of being in that dark hole. He is going to church for counseling and coming home to recieve the love we have waiting on him. Dont let satan tell you to accept that dark hole... Jesus said you dont have to. talk to him daily and I promise the hole is filled. things & life still happen tears incl but you have a strength you never thought you could ever have to get thru it. Call his name sweetie and be specific and then thank him daily for everything no matter what others say. get an NIV bible and read the new testament first - matthew mark john luke and then psalms where david cries out to lord for help and thanks him for loving him just the way he is. you can do it. just do it. love you youre worth it Always take it seriously--and a word to Penni Reply to this Comment Absolutely take it seriously--always. And Penni, yes life involves massive amounts of enduring suffering at times. You know, as you are right smack in the middle of it. Please trust in the fact that this is just a cycle--and it will get better. You don't always need a pill, in fact, most times you don't. But keep getting out and keep talking to healthy people and try to focus on what is right in life, even if it is the most minute thing. Never forget to ask God to walk you through this and to comfort you. He promises He will do that. Blessings to you Penni. suicide Reply to this Comment i am one who wants to be free and able to feel emotions. i think about suicide alot it relaxes me but honestly i am scared of it at the same time. suicide Reply to this Comment i dont think suicide is a laughing matter and i dont think i could have the courage to leave my mom suicide attempts Reply to this Comment to those of you who think people that try to commit suicide and dont are just trying to get attention, your wrong. i was born with manic depression.i have attempted suicide over 5 times and obviously i am still here. i didn't do it for attention, i did it because i wanted to die. the first time i slit my wrist, but i called on myself because i got scared. every tme after that it got more serious. and thats the main thing, the more you try the better you get. so repeated suicide attemps aren't a calling for attention. i think thats what made me get to the point where i slit my wrists and stayed in the tub for two ours passed out til my ex found me. what upsets me is my mom would always say i was just trying to get people to look at me. i wonder how she felt when they finally said that yes depression indeed was a disease. for a manic depressive of 22 years i would say that you should never disregard a threat like that, cuz if they don't do it this time, they probably will next time!!!! Suicide Reply to this Comment I know from experience, I have been through hell in my life. I wonder all the time if my family would be better off without me. I sometimes think about ways to kill myself but I am always worried about not succeeding and having to live with something else. It's like I don't have the energy to do it. I am so afraid of myself that I try not to be alone...I wish I knew what was wrong with me why do I feel this way. I need help but I don't want to be dependent on medicine i am poor and cant really afford the medicine or the healthcare....what should I do i don't trust myself...I don't want to die i want to be happy I want my family to be happy. suicide Reply to this Comment i am very familiar with how you feel and its awesome that you've recognized that you need help AND you reached out for help by posting this message. but its extremely important that you keep an open mind about treating your depression with medicine. depression is a disease and needs to be treated as such. there are many ways of treating depression, but there is no single cure. depending on how bad the depression is (and it sounds like yours is bad!) medicine in conjunction with talk therapy can be a life saver. taking an antidepressant saved my life and allowed me to be "happy" like those without depression. people with diabetes take insulin for their disease- and i take medicine(Zoloft) for mine! PLEASE! PLEASE, call a doctor as soon as you can- or just call a friend and ask for help. call someone that you trust! your family will NOT be better without you- that is your disease talking! you will be in my thoughts and prayers. just give it a try! it can ONLY help! Good Luck! suicide Reply to this Comment GOOD SUBJECT! suicide should ALWAYS be taken seriously because someone could die. please, allow a professional to determine how serious the threat is. there are too many deaths a year caused by suicide! if someone you know is exhibiting signs of depression or threatens suicide, PLEASE, let someone know and/or call for help. a life is at risk. THANK YOU for bringing this up!! it is very important. 3 years ago a very good friend of mine hung himself. he had a wife and a 14-year-old son. i also (knew) a 21-year-old that killed himself by a drug overdose 6 months ago. he was struggling with depression and addiction. Suicide Reply to this Comment Always take Suicide Seriously. Sometimes Suicide intentions may start as a way to get attention. But...So what? Doesn't everyone need Attention? If someone has to go that far to get Attention, its a Sad day! I believe that eventually Suicide attempts, or a so called bid for Attention will eventually succeed. I've attempted Suicide four times. I've not succeeded because of my methods, but because someone always seemed to appear and intervene. An example. My first attempt, I went away to another State to the Ocean. I love the Ocean. My Mothers ashes are scattered in the Ocean at that particular spot. That night I took many pills. It was close to Midnight. I walked out into the water when I felt that I was about to pass out, which I did. The next thing I knew, I woke up in the Hospital. I found out later that a Doctor of all People, just so happened to be walking along the Beach at that hour no less and found me floating face down in the water, drug me out and called 911, then did what ever he had to do, but it was the Narcan from the Ambulance that eventually revived me. I was in ICU for four days, then in the Psyche ward for three days. What are the odds of a Doctor coming along at Midnight on a dark Beach and seeing me floating in the water? Five more minutes, it would have been over. That basically is how the next three attempts went, though different situations. So, always take Suicide seriously. Even if someone is seeking Attention, they must Desperately need it to go that far. I think i need help Reply to this Comment i tried before to kill myself before, i think about it alot , im broke and mentally broken what can i do, i have no job, my wife left me, and im all alone, no friends, just a crazy famliy that yell at each other all day. i moved home after the split and i feel like im falling in a pit that never ends... i just want the pain to go away... plz help me. | ||||||||
