Yes. We still don't know why he did it.
True seen it time and time again, I assume they built habits and routines with that person. Then it all of sudden comes to an end. I see it no different then somebody losing their career or about to go to jail like R.Kelly. I’ve broke up with women that was trying to off themselves. It’s a sad sad case one story.
My ex walk over to my truck and I was parallel park with traffic coming through. She was shaking uncomfortable with her hand on windows, but she kept looking back for cars. My sense kick in not to cuss her out or be mean. Just cool and calm, she look back one more time a Fed Ex truck was coming and you know they be flying! She turned I grab her arm just in time and saved her ass!
Fuck me up mentally and damn near had to check on her and mentor her back to normal.
Yup kids are tricky had to learn something small to me is massive to them.

I'm sorry to hear that. Are you talking to anyone about it?
Are you currently getting counseling, and if not why not?
Damn glad you made it bruh...no telling how many lives you saved on here alone with that invermectin post. saved my ass when covid hit hard....no telling who's life you going to affect down the road.
Naw. No counseling bro. Cause talking about it aint gonna help anything.
I just listen to music to cope...

It's sad that someone could come to a point in their life where they feel like there is no hope.
Well if that ever isn't enough, reach out.
My older sister tried when we were teenagers, and survived. Years later she passed away (ectopic pregnancy), and that Had me so badly depressed that I considered it to escape the pain.
Decided to get counseling for myself. I'm not suicidal, but the despondency can be deep and dark at times. It WILL cause outward effects on yourself, family, friends and work. TRUST ME. Thinga you need to do you'll neglect. Things you don't want to do you'll find yourself doing it again.
Beginning this week.

I'm thinking of doing the same. I havn't really opened up to anyone in twenty plus years. It seems surreal to think someone would get paid to listen to my problems.
Question: can mental toughness supercede suicidal thought or it doesn't matter?
Not trying to be insensitive, just asking for clarity sake.

Talking and maybe crying things out of your system can be beneficial. Possibly you might even find some answers.
The thing is, who else is going to actively listen without trying trying to top you and start talking about themselves?
I think in most cases a person can take a step back and wait things out. There are many y stories of those that have attempted suicide and failed and have gone on to a better life. So for the most part few are truly compelled.
It depends.
It depends on if the person is suicidal because of their circumstances or because they have a mental illness.
Saw another suicide posting brothers.
We need to recognize how powerful the mind is and what deep depression or mental illness can cause you to do.
Think about it. The for Miss USA winner had everything going for her. Looks, career, money, friends and qe still don't know why she did it. She was even an advocate for getting mental health assistance.
You've got to talk with someone.

I've heard that the crisis / emergency lines can be quite helpful. They can offer immediate support or link the person in need to appropriate resources. One of our oncall coworkers trained for that position, and has been doing crisis line support this past year.
Thanks for the clear response
That's a good question. It definitely varies from person to person, as many people have been through some serious shit in their lives. Mental toughness can help, but the brain / mind can play tricks on an individual as to just how bad things really are. The despair or hopelessness that things can't or won't ever get better, etc. Unfortunately alot of people take drastic measures before allowing things to potentially improve.
You're welcome. I was surprised when I was talking to her (coworker). She's pretty quiet and reserved, but she was explaining it's honest work. Intense, but rewarding in the sense that you're helping people and I think the fact that it's over the phone is helpful in that she's a good communicator. And while being in conversation, she had her information lined right up so she could make clear, informative responses to their concerns. Offer them phone numbers, links, addresses to support networks, etc.
Shit we need more health services like this instead of wasting or tax dollars on bulllshit.
Agreed & also readily advertise / make it clear what the suicide prevention and mental health support links, numbers & networks are. Have those numbers clearly listed in public places so that people are reminded that "help" is out there - just have to reach out and ask for it, or hopefully have someone encourage you to do so.
Credit also to the places like drop-in centers or food shelters / soup kitchens for helping people out. Ensuring people have a sense of community, friendships & of course access to food.
Some of the most rewarding work I've done is at the cold / wet weather shelters back in the day earlier in my career. Ensuring people were safe and sound, had a place to get back on their feet & resources we could offer them. Simple stuff - a bed (whether for a few days or up to say 3 weeks), food, shower, getting their laundry done, getting phone numbers and contacts to reach out for volunteer or part-time work, and so on.
Helping people get back on their feet, as the saying goes. Also hearing peoples' stories and ensuring their info/contacts were in the database so we had an idea how people were doing. Also - they could refer their friends to us who were down on their luck and living on the street ... fleeing a toxic home situation, etc. Refer them to treatment programs if they were looking to detox, etc.
Aye mayne, please hang around for awhile.
You don't even know the influence you have on folks.
