What are some ways knowing a person wants to commit suicide?

Answer 1

The best way to tell someone you are thinking about suicide, is to say the words to them. To suffer with the thoughts and feelings alone will bring more harm to you. It may be a very scary thing to do, but the alternative is far worse. Once it is said, you can move on to recovering from what is leading to these feelings. If you cannot bring yourself to talk to someone you know, call your local suicide hotline or try these numbers: 1-800-SUICIDE / 1-800-784-2433; Call 1-800-273-TALK / 1-800-273-8255.

Answer 2

You should not. Please do not consider this option for your own sake as well as the sake of those who love you.

You really shouldn't. The challenges and stresses that we face in this life... no matter how difficult and painful... are temporary. If you work at it, you can change your life... and there are so many good things ahead... so many possibilities. It is worth it to work through the problems rather than giving up. Find some way to work through your problems. You can start by talking to someone. A friend, a counselor... even a parent if you have a good relationship with your parents. They can help you see a different perspective. Sometimes when we get depressed it seems like we only have one option... but that isn't really true. There are so many possibilities...

In fact, people who go through really hard things are the ones who are the strongest, most interesting people later on... they've learned to weather the storms of life, and come through. They have such a capacity to help others and make a difference in the world.

If you don't already have someone to talk to about this, like a counselor, please find a resource on the Suicide Helpline site (listed in related links below), and use it.

Answer 3

I think the best thing to do would be to schedule a doctors appointment. You wouldn't necessarily have to tell anyone, you could seek the proper help first. Depression is a serious matter that should be taken seriously, and with those you feel the safest and closest around.

Answer 5

That's something that needs to be discussed where you won't be interrupted. Perhaps a walk in the park or if that doesn't work for you, maybe go for coffee or somewhere neutral. If the person that saved you doesn't suspect how close to suicide you were then it will come as quite the shock Redbeard is perfectly correct in telling you to go to a quiet place where you won't be interrupted. So glad you are better and feel life is really worth living! Good for you and thank God for the person that helped you.

Answer 6

Get your friend to tell them, they wont be mad just worried about you you need to get help right away.
