Is it true that someone commit's suicide every 40 seconds?
Yes. Through the depression, its reallly sad.
I am not sure, but I do believe depression is heriditary and if that's the case then so would suicide. If you have a chemical imbalance then maybe it is. However, when one person commits suicide, there are usually followers in the circle of family and friends.
No. The road you have to take to get in a suicidal thought process is a hard road. It is not quick nor painless. Suicide is also painful and hard to do emotionally and physically.
By first understanding the warning signs and receiving help as soon as possible. When you first realize you are thinking about committing suicide, tell somebody, get some help. You can call a suicide hotline for help or a crisis center in your area. If you are in school or a large workplace, talk to a counselor or psychologist. Or you can seek professional help.
Suicide is not the answer, it is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. You are not alone in this world and if you need help, there are not only people who can help you but people who want to help you.

Who can you talk to if you are feeling suicidal?
This question was originally asked several years ago, and we do hope the person who asked it got the help he or she needed. Suicidal feelings are often caused by depression (a treatable illness) or by feeling overwhelmed and alone as a result of many negative events. But for anyone re-reading this question now, you need to know that while you may feel that nobody cares, that is not true. You are not alone: in fact, there are many people who are both willing and able to help you to get through this difficult time.
A few options are our contributors have suggested:
1. Talk to your close family and friends-- sometimes telling them how you are feeling can help take away some of the burden. (But that may not be enough, because they are not professionals and they may not know how to help you. Still, talking about it is a good start.)
2. There are suicide prevention hotlines like the Samaritans: 1 (800) 273-TALK.
3. any crisis center or the emergency room of a hospital will have trained personnel to help.
4. if you are in school, a school counselor is a good resource. Most universities have counseling centers-- all of the treatment is confidential.
5. if you are religious, a priest, or minister, or rabbi or imam can give you some guidance, and even if you are not, most clergy will help you and not turn you away.
6. if you can, contact a trained psychologist and make arrangements to start seeing him or her, so that you can discuss when these feelings began, what sorts of events triggered them, etc. A good psychologist or psychiatrist can be very helpful in working with you to develop coping strategies.
Good luck and we hope you will seek out the support you need (and deserve).
Do emos want to commit suicide?
Generally speaking, the answer is No. Emo's, if there is a standard, may focus on dramatic aspects of life and situations, and relish the emotions these evoke. But while their outlook may appear somewhat grimmer than usual to observers, this is not an indicator of actual depression. I'm not aware of any increase in suicide trending in that rather loosely defined group.

Can you commit suicide by eating a bottle of tums?
Over-consumption of calcium carbonate can result in the serious and sometimes fatal condition known as hypercalcemia. This condition can cause vomiting, abdominal pain, and an alteration of mental status. The effects of excessive calcium are cumulative, and while possible to commit suicide with this substance, it would be increasingly painful and would take a very long time, possibly decades of chronic abuse.
