No matter how busy life gets, I always feel the need to check up on others and ask them how are they doing and if they want to grab a bite or watch a movie or if I need to make them laugh I will try my best to do so. It's unfortunate people commit suicide.
I'm very sorry you have my deepest sympathy. This was a very well written MyTake thanks for sharing and opening the eyes up of those who may need just something to tell them , there is others out here whose faced with similar issues. God Bless You and Yours
I feel bad for Jane but I am curious why she took the gun route for her suicide. I feel like that's was an overkill for her to do that to herself. My sister committed suicide years ago ran away and drown herself, she became a jane doe for a year until the police match her DNA to my parents DNA. I wonder why some people choose drowning versus guns to kill themselves.
Well we may never know why but my sister was chubby too. But I don't think she hated herself over it, I don't think she hates herself she just wasn't happy. Nothing seems to make her happy, only short term.
I missed the signs leading up to my brother's suicide. Even told him the best way to hang himself during a discussion about a neighbour would tried to hang himself but ended up in a wheelchair permanently
No, she actually had clinical depression. She was receiving treatment for it for many years. I was unaware that someone made her feel ashamed of being on an anti-depressant and at some point, she stopped taking it.
I feel for you. I had two cousins commit suicide. Both because the women in their lives left them. They were in Texas and I was in Florida so there wasn't much I could do for them. I'm told they displayed many of the behaviors that you're speaking of. I'll go to my grave believing I might have made a difference and prevented them from doing this had I been there for them. Sadly, life got in the way.
I am sorry that happened and appreciate that you shared this experience because it really surprised me that someone that has it all would commit suicide. I would only think people that would end their life because they think they are not good looking enough, not rich enough, or not being loved. Depression is serious business.
Very sorry about your loss. You are doing the right thing by sharing your experiences and advice so that hopefully we can all better help our loved ones. I'm sure your friend is proud of you!
Well, it's hard tho'. Actually your selfish but you're here now for tips. I've also have an friend who is and one who tried but here're some tips.
Just ask about his life and then you'll find out. If that one is trying to stand close to hard driving trains or subway's or buses or anything. Just ask what's a matter with him. You'll find out. My condolences to you.
So sorry for the loss of your friend. Thank you for this info. I'm sure it will help many out there. Not only the suicidal but their friends, like yourself. ☮💟😊
Thank you... I really hope it does. I believe in my heart that most suicide are preventable, but we have to have the education necessary to be able to identify the warning signs.
Identify and act on. I feel like so many times the warning signs are there but many don't want to embarrass or cause commotion over someone who may or may not be expressing warning signs.
This is true... my friend and I both worked within the mental health field. If anyone should have been able to see the writing on the wall, it was not only us, but the psychiatrists, nurses, and counselor said we both worked with every day. It is always easier to rationalize.
I think you are being selfish. Your friend wanted death and now your friend has found peace. This is what your friend wanted so you should have been there for your friend and even assisted.
After death there is life, so death isn't really death, your friend is in the afterlife, enjoying life not like this one filled with misery and physical limitations
I still hear people saying that people who talk about suicide never follow it through. That's quite wrong. Suicide talk is just part of the process of ideation. Good take, and I am sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss. I will take into account all you have said and will try to watch out for these signs in others. Because, you are correct, it's easier to dismiss than to probe.
@Unit1, Thank yoh for your thoughts. I am so sad you feel this way. I can tell you that there was a time when my friend was happy. She took antidepressants and was thriving. Someone made her feel ashamed for taking them and she stopped. Her suicide was the end result. I would strongly encourage you to seek help. If you are nervous to do so locally, please call the Suicide hotline. It is an amazing resource.
I did seek help. We don't have those miracles around here.
But I'm on Trazodone for about a month now but they don't seem to work as I expected they would. There is a reason why suicide is illegal and websites encouraging suicide as well. Can't find those web resources on the internet.

I think she was shamed of the weight she gained. She shot herself in the stomach... it was the part of her that she hated the most.

I am so sorry for your loss.
I am sorry for your loss... But now I know that a person can kill themselves even if they have all in the world for themselves...
Do you think she was depressed because of the high Stress job?
No, she actually had clinical depression. She was receiving treatment for it for many years. I was unaware that someone made her feel ashamed of being on an anti-depressant and at some point, she stopped taking it.
Ohhh that's horrible... Who ever that person is who told her that she is horrible for taking treatment should be in jail...

Suicide isn't the answer and it is selfish in itself
try explaining that to their parents

no one ever takes it seriously. everyone thinks everyone is bluffing. no one is ever bluffing.
Well, had the same going on, but i tried to help her for more than a year, but nothing changed til the end...
That's unfortunate. Sorry for your loss.
I really envy her so much.
