What do you tell someone who wants to commit suicide, but understands how they feel??????

Take them very seriously..... Do not think for a moment that they are not serious... Be the best friend you can be and be an excellent listener.....\n\nA person who wants to commit suicide is, in there mind, ready and prepared to commit that act.... Contrary to popular beliefe they are not cowards they just feel that they have no other way out..... Sometimes the pain they feel is so intence that the only way out is death....\n\nThey are not wanting attention, but rather help for their situation. They need to know that there is a way out and that they do have support. Most people who commit suicide do so in private because they are very private people nor do they want to be a burden.....\n\nRemember to take them very seriously if not you may loose that person for ever.... Do not treat them like a child and respect them..... Listen to what they say and never offer your opinion or call them names..... Never under any circumstances laugh at them..... They are talking to you about suicide because they are at the end of their rope (no pun intended)....\n\nGood luck to you

I can relate to what you're going through. When I was 14, I attempted suicide. I was put into psychiatric wards, and sent away from home. I understand depression. But I can tell you, that it is the worst mistake I ever tried to make. I didn't realize that until it was almost too late. So if you want to kill yourself, it depends on what you're taking. If it's a strong medicine, take the entire bottle. If not take two whole bottles, wait an hour and say goodnight.\n        I don't know what your situation is, but I strongly suggest not ending your life. Things may seem bad now, but they will get better. Trust me. If you need someone to talk to or vent to, here's my email address.... vigilantris@yahoo.com\n        Email me anytime day or night. I'll  be here, I promise.

only if u want him to snap. trust me, coming from someone who is in the same situation--i did tell him. BIG mistake. Apparently they feel bad for doing it, but they cant stop it. So sayin something would only make them feel worse. Which could send them in to an alternate mood swing, like depression and suicide. That-you-dont-want!\nJust try understand that, that is apart of him and who he is. If you cant tolerate it, then i suggest possibly ending the friendship..\nIf you need to tell someone..tell a parent or a doctor..someone who could help more than just you make him more aware. Does that make sense?

Lots and lots of signs.\n\nGiving away beloved possessions. Seems to indicate that the person doesn't need those things anymore, or won't for long.\n\nA deep depression followed by a carefree euphoric attitude...if there is something dark enough for a person to consider killing themselves, then they act like nothing is wrong, it may mean they have a plan and they believe they have solved the problem, now they just need to implement it.\n\nTalking about death, saying they want to die, talking about dead relatives and wanting to see them again, researching methods to die, a sudden interest in afterlife or other religious ideas.\n\nAbandoning goals. An ambitious student that stops studying. A hard worker that no shows his job. A good parent who neglects their children. Losing sight of long term things...again, the rationale is that these things don't matter anymore.\n\nOR the opposite. Seeming desperate to finalize details about things. Or lining up a scenario for after the fact. A note, a will, cleaning up the scene beforehand, arranging belongings, a shrine of some sort. \n\nAny sudden change in behavior can make you wonder. If a person goes dark after being mostly happy, if they go quiet after being mostly chatty, if they seem opposite of the way they used to be.\n\nIf you think a person is suicidal you have nothing to lose by coming RIGHT OUT and asking them if they are, and if they have a plan, and when/where/how. The more concrete answers they give you, the more serious they are and the more important it is that they get some help. \n \nYou can start by talking to your friend's loved ones. Other friends, family, their minister, their teachers, their boss, whomever you think may have some influence on the person. You can actually do an intervention of sorts. Gather all these people together and let the person know how much support they have.\n\nYou can also contact the local crisis hotline, or the hospital or any local mental health facility, you can talk to police or a lawyer to see what avenues you have as far as getting TO the person if they have secluded themselves, or having their rights temporarily suspended so you can get them help.\n\nSome facts. Most suicide attempts are not really trying to kill themselves, it is a cry for help. \n\nMost women who try to kill themselves choose more passive ways, this is a generalization and not always true. Overdose is very common, gassing. The most violent ways are cutting. As such, women live through a LOT more suicide attempts than men.\n\nMen tend to choose more violent ways. Shooting, hanging, jumping. These are quicker, more definite message that the person intends to die. Messier, and less reversible.

Please listen very carefully? Dial the info line, 211 , that's the number, 211. They can put you in touch with someone who will not be insensitive. I have used this number on many occasions also for suicidal thoughts. The person called me back with-in 20 minutes and talked me down. I am thankful for the info line and the way they run it. I too battle depression and I know it's probably going to be with me for the rest of my life BUT I also know that there Are people out there that can and have helped. The operator will ask you the nature of the call and then you tell him/her that you need to speak to a psychologist about your depression, she will ask you what area you live in so that this person will be close to you. It really helped and I felt much better. If you think you need to be in the hospital, she can call ahead to let them know you are coming, again they are here to listen and direct you to whatever you need. Don't give up and I am really sorry you are going through this, I really am. Please dial 211 or your local hospital and they will help you! Be Safe.

I feel for you,  you sound like you are going through a terrible deppresion.   Im glad you are seeing a counsellor.  hope you continue too.   I think you need a prescription from your doctor though to help you through this.  It is so sad all the trama you have been through in such a short time.   I am not preaching but I will definetly say a prayer for you I think you might need help from every angle.   Do you have a spouse or family to talk to?\nCrying is normal but not continuous and sleeping that much is not good for you either.  You are going to have to try very hard to face this and hold yourself up and believe you can do it!\nI have had times like this and you need to get interested in something even if it is on the computer you might be able to reach out to someone else.   Please try to discourage the suicide thoughts I know it is hard but there are people who need you somewhere and that is very final.  I want nothing but the best for you so please keep in touch and let me know how you are making it through your days.       \nLife is Beautiful hon.   keep your head up and spirits higher.

I think suicidal thoughts are actually caused when someone feels trapped in a hopeless situation. You don't really want to be dead or end your life. You just can't find a way to end the situation you are in. You aren't dumb and you aren't stupid, you're scared and you don't know what else you can do. \n\nWell, the best way to end those thoughts would be to give yourself an alternative, a third choice.  What can you do? \n\n1.Do you still see your father and brother on a regular basis? If this is a problem, think of ways to avoid them. Devise a plan to move to a location where you will be far enough away to never see them. I would guess that you don't owe them anything, so don't worry about them.\n\n2.Are you plagued with thoughts and feelings that remind you of your past? The best thing to do is see a doctor. You can take some medication to calm your nerves and allow yourself to maintain an emotional balance. You can see a psychologist to help you deal with these memories and attack the problem at it's source. Many people also find meditation and exercise theroputic. There are many books on this subject.\n\n3.Do you feel alone, like no one understands you? There are many people who have been through similar situations that you have been in. Thanks to the internet, many of these people can talk to each other and discuss how they deal with it. \n\nIt may not happen over night but by putting a plan in place you can begin working on that goal.  You have been asking a lot of questions and it is clear that many people here care about you a lot. Remember that we are thinking about you and we want you to take control of your life and begin healing.

Seriously get them help!!  I am not kidding.  My brother was suicidal for years and we treated it like the boy who cried wolf, and then last year he really did kill himself.  Report them to some one and get them help!!  Even if you call the cops, they will put your friend on a mental health hold for 48+ hours and get them help!  This is not some thing to mess with.
