Normally healthy people do not entertain suicidal thoughts. A form a depression or other mental or brain problems are usually the impetus for suicide attempts. Some people who are dying will sometimes entertain ideas of attempting suicide. The problem is that most of the time a suicide attempt does not work but will get the person the real help they need. So rather than making any attempts at suicide it is better to get the problems resolved as best as possible. Some people fail to realize that a brain tumor or a simple, treatable sickness can make them feel suicidal. That is why I say it is better to get an exam by a doctor to see why the person has suicidal thoughts in the first place. If you are doing this then call one of the Hotlines or see your doctor right away or go to the emergency room. You have my prayers if you are this way. The Hotline numbers are in the telephone book and probably online too.

Happiness is an emotion, depression shows your sadness. It is impossible to hide. If you are feeling depressed you need to let someone know. When talking to someone give them the reasons why you feel depressed or you will never get the full purpose of talking to the person. Make sure it is someone that you can talk to without leaving any details. If you are having thoughts about suicide remember this. Someone out there loves or will love you. Every soul is precious. Yes that means you.

What can you do to help if a friend experiences suicidal thoughts?

There are two types of situations which may result in suicidal thoughts or actual suicide. A person can have an actual problem, such as a disease, or a failed marriage, or unemployment (etc.) which is so terrible that this person would rather die than have to deal with it, or, in other cases, a person has no apparent problem but is still depressed, which can be caused by brain chemistry, such as a deficiency of a neurotransmitter. In the first case, you can certainly see if there is some way you can help your friend to solve his or her problems by some better means than suicide. In the second case, your friend can be helped by the right kind of drug, which a psychiatrist can prescribe.

What do you do if im suicidal?

There are a number of different reasons why people may have suicidal thoughts. Some people have a mental illness such as clinical depression of bipolar disorder, and those illnesses can be successfully treated by drugs. Other people are depressed because of some terrible difficulty that they are having in their lives, such as financial problems, or a failed marriage, or poor health, etc. Teenagers may believe that they can't live without some particular person that they have fallen in love with, and if rejected may become suicidal. In all of these cases it is possible to get help, although different problems require different kinds of help. If you can say whether there is some specific problem related to your suicidal thoughts, we might be able to give more specific advice. If it's nothing specific, then chances are you need to be on medication.
