What are your thoughts on suicidal thinking?

Do you think of it as a big deal, and those who constantly contemplate it need to seek medical attention slash be put on medication asap, or do you view it as normal thing: not a big deal?

Hmm, well, I believe that 99% of people considering suicide aren’t happy or in what would be considered an ‘average’ state of mind.

It is always a big deal. People who have experienced it for periods of time might be desensitised to its severity in either themselves or others, though.

I think its not a good thing and like fletcher said its because people are arnt happy or cant cope with pain of carrying on.

I myself have gone through periods of suicidal thoughts and some days i cant get it out of my head and daydream about it and nothing else. But the degree of severity and problem alters from individual to indervidual.

I know the causes of mine and whilst i think about it, im pretty sure i would never actually do it. So im confortable not to worry too much about my own whilst i work on things.

But its differnt for each person

This is what I just replied to Ibuprofen and Vodka just a few minutes ago! I have many other replies about suicide. But this is my latest one!

I remember 15 years ago when I was really depressed. I thought, “how can I kill myself? How can I make people realize that I am depressed and that I really want to die?” But that was not it. I thought that if I ended it all, all my problems would go away and I would finally be free from all the pain, all the drama in my life. I gave myself time to think and analyze my situation. Was it really that desperate that I had to end it all? Was it really that bad that my life was not worth even trying anymore? I came out of that thinking that my life is too precious to end. I came out thinking that my whole entire existence that lay ahead of me was worth to keep on going and trying to find out what the future had in store for me. Being so casual and cavalier about one’s life is the worst thing that we can do. People drive too fast without thinking that they may die in a crash. While they may not intend on killing themselves, it happens sometimes. Don’t you want to see what the future holds for you? Don’t you want to see if maybe in a couple of years you might be skinny and have the most amazing life that you could possibly have? I know I would. But, killing yourself kills all your chances of discovering all the wonderful possibilities that this life has for you. You have to keep going. Don’t do it for other people! Do it for yourself. Do it because you love yourself. If we were to do things because we want to do them so other people accept us and like us, we would not never do anything or try to accomplish anything in this world. You have to value your life more than that. You have to value yourself when you think nobody else does. That is what keeps us going and trekking through this world. Our lives are full of mysteries and possibilities that have yet to be discovered. Why are you here? Because you wanted someone to tell you that what you are going to do is wrong. Well, it is all together wrong. Look at all these people trying to talk to you! How would you think we would feel if you end up doing yourself in? It would be a personal failure and I don’t think we would recover from it in very long time. Do you want us to go through that? I know you have feelings and you don’t want to put us through that trauma? See when we want to hurt ourselves we have to think of others too. Your problems may end, but a whole slew of other problems for the people who are left behind just begins. Your conscience would never let you get away with that. Go on! Keep on living! Life is wonderful! You can do it all for yourself! I know you will do the right thing. God Bless You!

I agree wholeheartedly, littlenick.
And, although I don’t want to make this about myself, I have to say, while I agree.. I don’t stop thinking about it. It’s stupid really.
I think suicide is dumb. Flat out weak.
And I realize the potential I have in life. Etc etc. I’m wonderful, the people I know would be lost without me, yada yada, and so on.
But. I don’t know.
Suicide, although weak, seems like such a good life-lesson. For others.
Without death, some people would never realize that second-chances are hard to come by, and that the crazy things they do have an impact on others.

Too much of anything is not good so if someone thinks about it too much or for a long period of time it needs to be taken care of asap.Thats not to say they need meds or long term care.I recommend a combination of things.Professional help with someone you can connect with(like a relationship with a good friend),meds if needed ,self-help and self-knowlegde of self and the condition or problem and support whereever you can find it.,accepting the illness or problem makes things go smoother.Now with the meds and pro. help it sometimes takes time to find the right ones,so patience in knowing its not a quick fix helps too.
