What do you do when you feel suicidal?

Besides go to a mental hospital or seeing a therapist.

Tell someone close to you so they can support & keep an eye on you :) suicide is NOT the answer, even though it seems like you don't have an option.

it could be the answer ... i would be for me

Listen, it's not. I tried to commit suicide 7 times after my dad died in 2008 & I'm yelling you, it's not the answer. 4yrs later, lots of counseling & hospitalization & support from my family has made me glad I didn't succeed. Seek help, I'm urging you...
Report as
Telling not yelling.
Report as
No it's not the answer it only drags you into more problem's and worse then you've ever dealt with but I still think about suicidal when I'm depressed.
Report as
It's ok to think suicidal thoughts (though others will tell you it's not) as long as you don't act on them, it's ok. Suicide is selfish. Ive learnt a lot about life in my young (ish) years & it's really not the answer. Maybe you could seek counseling, antidepressants if you are not already :) Keep your chin up & try to have a smile.

Call the suicide prevention hotline if you are in the US: 1-800-273-8255

Talking about it with someone you do not know may help.

I know that they try to talk about their pain to other people but they would still be devastated if you did hurt yourself even if you have more issues then anyone else in the whole wide world!

xxmen, It seems you are doing one of the steps right now. Asking for help. If you feel your avenue of security is us out here, that as good as any. Do you have a phone? You can call a suicide hot line also. But, if you're safe here.. that's fine for a moment or too.
Let me share with you my thoughts to help you. As I was growing up, I found out two things a person never jokes about. These two things were and are very valuable to every living thing that I know.
Life and Death.
If and when you are feeling you need to end your life, you will indeed meet it's counterpart, which is death.
Sometimes it feels that we need to "hurry that process" of death. But, you know xxmen,.. we all are going to die. As soon as you stop for a second and think..
You have learned in your "life" to read what I am writing. You have learned in your "life" to walk, and feel, and smile, and laugh, and even open presents. You have learned already to work the computer.. Probably better than me! Enjoy all of you and you'll find don't worry, death will come in it's own time. Happy Thoughts!

I don't believe that anyone asks a question like that casually. Write down all of the negative things that you're telling yourself in your head. Our thoughts are very powerful and can make us feel helpless and hopeless. But they're only THOUGHTS, they aren't real. Emotions aren't real, either, or rational. Your feelings lie, they make you believe things that aren't true "no one loves me" couldn't possibly be true, "there's no other way" also couldn't possibly be true. Look at what you've written down, then say these things out loud to someone else and watch their reactions. You'll be really surprised. Sometimes suicidal thoughts are a way to avoid facing something. In reality, there's nothing you can't face, even if it's extremely difficult. Write your thoughts down. Then ask someone to help you "answer" these thoughts with reality. Good luck to you. I'm not a religious person, but I believe there's a spirit of goodness in the universe that will answer you if you ask for help. It might come in the form of another person who listens (counselors, friends), it might be in a sudden realization like a ray of sunshine through the clouds, but be patient and listen.

Get some one close to you and have them to stay with you for a few days. If you don't feel better, please get help from a professional, last year May 24th, one of my brothers hung himself after a long battle with pain killers, we got him to a facility where he stayed 8 days and signed himself out, he became so depressed and hurt so bad from the with draw he couldn't bare life any longer, and we, the family had to find him like this, it's something you will never ever forget, and have nightmares about it forever, please don't put your family through this, it's horrible. The most painful thing I've had to go through.

Your right, I do know why, but still can't figure out why he would want us to find him like that. I know they are not in their right mind, but, wow. That's all I can say is wow.
