I hate suicidal people?
I'm fairly confident in saying your wonderful friend was far from the happiest person ever. Happy people don't commit suicide. A lot of people struggling with mental illness are good at hiding how they feel, because they don't want to be accused of seeking attention and they don't want to burden others with their hurt. No one kills themselves for no reason. It's always a tragedy, but it's never without reason. People who are suicidal feel miserable; they feel helpless and hopeless, like everything is horrible and it will stay horrible forever no matter what. A suicidal mindset convinces one that their friends, family, and the world in general would be better off without them. Suicide becomes an escape, the only way to stop the immense pain they feel. It's horrific that many who are considering suicide are dismissed as attention-seekers or angsty emo teens. It's important to listen when people share that they have been feeling very depressed, that they hate themselves, that they are being bullied, etc. Some people think suicide is cowardly or selfish, but usually it indicates that someone feels horrendous, has for a while, feels very alone, and feels suicide is their only option, their only out.
Are all suicidal people crazy?
I try to answer this sort of question. I feel I have some special insight into this and might help someone. Being that the web is essentially anonymous I feel free to discuss the real me. To that end I offer the following: Absolutely not nearly all, most people with suicidal tendencies just hurt. It may be physical pain, emotional pain, psychological pain, it may be real or imagined but regardless, it hurts. After years of fighting this pain with medication or will power or anything else, they simply give up. At that point death seems a very plausible means of ending the pain. I know, I have been there. At this moment I am fine but tomorrow I might be suicidal. I have done all the therapy, all the meds, and all the other stuff. All it did was make things worse because all I was doing was smiling and lying to people around me. It was better for them but I felt like a door mat. So I stopped. I did learn the reason for my depression, I just can't seem to do anything about it.
What are some jobs where I can help suicidal people?
You can work at a suicide hotline. There are no prerequisites to work there. The application includes basic information about who you are and where you live, along with screening questions. People dealing with psychological issues are asked to wait to volunteer on a suicide hotline, and many crisis hotlines which receive national funding are required to put all volunteers through a background check as well. Be prepared to make an hourly commitment, as the hotline will invest 60 or more hours in your training.
Why is there no real help for suicidal people that actually can help fix the problems they face?
Typically, problems that lead to suicidal thoughts are complex and multifaceted. If there was an easy solution to those problems, the person probably wouldn't be considering suicide. Furthermore, such complex problems need an individualized approach, not a one-size fits all magic bullet.That said, there are people trained to help problem-solve with you. A therapist and/or social worker can help you list out your problems, prioritize them, and find resources and solutions.Please call a crisis/suicide hotline to see if they can referr you to someone who can support you on an ongoing basis.
Had enough of people committing suicide?
Why do celebs with everything to live for kill themselves? Or anyone else for that matter who have great lives or future ahead with friends Jobs, family, money, good lives in general. They don’t even deserve to go through depression or suicidal thoughts, especially when they are better off alive and not dead. I can’t even commit suicide and I’m 20, live in sh*thole England, 0 qualifications, barely any job experience, no friends, no money, no life, live with parents, don’t talk to anyone in my family apart from on occasion siblings and grandparents, no one likes me, no one gives a sh*t, no education, only have pets to live for and the thought that one day things might change and I can afford to leave the country and go off the radar to help people worse off in 3rd world countries. I know that I’m just dreaming though, no one is going to give me interviews, I’ve applied for 100s of jobs. All I want to do is travel and dedicate my life to saving people and animals.
Why dont we let suicidal people die?
i feel like it would just be better if we let people end their suffering. there should be ways for people to legally and easily kill themselves. id gladly be first in line. and i know what youre thinking, "things will get better" actually, you dont know that. there are millions of people who are forced to live long and painful lives. there are people who live in constant pain and beg for death only to be forced alive and having their family pay medical bills for a person who doesnt want to be here. sometimes, when people accidentally hit animals on the road, they move them over to the side. but you know theyre still going to die right? it would be kinder to put them out of their misery rather than force them to helplessly suffer in pain until their inevitable death. we're all going to die one day so why cant we end out pain at will? people care about their suicidal loved ones and want to get them help, and thats wonderful, if you can help them overcome depression then thats fantastic, but not everybody can. sometimes theres no helping them. isnt it selfish that you would rather keep someone you love alive and constantly suffering mental or physical pain just because you like being around them? it doesnt sit right with me. i feel like these types of morals are just religious ideals. its stubborn to say that under any circumstance, nobody should kill themselves. doesnt it seem cruel? its the harsh truth that not everyone can get a happy ending, life isnt a disney movie.
When people talk about suicide, is saying that it’s selfish going to help? This has been told to me and it did not really help my thoughts at all.
If you're the one who spoke about suicide and it was someone who told you that you're selfish then I can relate to that, my own sister told me the same thing, which hurt so much and hurt in so many ways, i couldn't even speak or even look at her, that was a while ago and still can't bring my self to talk to her even now because of that one word. It hurt because she automatically thought that I didn't think of her and the rest of our family.she didnt take the time to even consider the fact that I was/is going through something that is so overwhelming that suicide became the suitable option, she never even asked why or even tried to understand what im going through. THAT ONE WORD “SELFISH”MEANS THAT THE PERSON SAYING IT HASNT REALLY CONSIDERED OR THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT THE OTHER ONE IS GOING THROUGH AT ALL..I thought it would be best to tell you what the word selfish means to me and how much it can effect someone who is in a really bad frame of mind/suicidal. This is my personal experience which it doesn't necessarily mean others think the same but no good can come from it in anyone's situation
Is suicide a good idea when there is no hope left?
Usually when we lose hope, it doesn't really mean that there is no hope. It just means we can't see it.Suicide is only a good idea when the only other choices are worse forms of death, like at the last stages of an incurable illness. Even then you shouldn't do it alone. Give your family and friends the chance to say goodbye, and if they try to talk you out of it, you should still listen to them seriously. If you are genuinely dying, and your doctors agree that there's no hope, maybe suicide might be an OK choice.But even then, few people do it. Either they still feel hope, or they want a little more time, or they believe suicide is wrong even then.Outside of such extreme circumstances, losing hope usually comes from depression, which tricks you into thinking that there's no hope even when there really is. If that's happening to you, then you have to talk to other people to get your perspective back.I know from experience that depression is really tricky; it can convince you that it's totally rational and good to give up. If that's what you're feeling right now, call a suicide hotline, or see a doctor, or even just talk to a friend.Don't assume hope is actually gone just because you can't see it.
Why do some people suddenly commit suicide with no warning?
I'm probably in no position to be answering this question, as I am a sophomore girl in high school with no physcological experience, but I think I may know why people commit suicide without warning. Being slightly suicidal myself, I know that people who want to kill themselves usually keep it to themselves and refuse to seek help. They typically lie to themselves, saying that they're fine when they really need medical attention. This causes a build up in negative emotions which stirs inside of them. With no one to vent to, these built up emotions can get to people's heads and drive them crazy. The suicidal person will start to believe that there is no hope for them and that the only way out is death. This leads to them taking their own life. The family and friends of these kinds of people almost are always unaware that the suicidal person was feeling that way because they never told anyone, usually out of fear and embarrassment. I hope this helped answer your question.
