Choosing Life: Suicide Prevention

[SWATknife]

My older bro is suicidal, he told me to grab his .38 special revolver and shoot him, and he was serious...... I said to him u better not even think of that. I love my older brother but he is a fuckin idiot when he talks about killing him self, I can't stand that kind of talk

[love2flip916]

My friend won't call these numbers and stopped answering my texts . He's suicidal . I don't know what to do now . D:

[MoralNihilism]

People think that by committing suicide they would be happier than they are now. But after they commited suicide, unless there is some sort of afterlife, they would just cease to exist. It makes no sense to say that something non-existent is better off than something else. By definition, non-existent things cannot BE anything at all, let alone happier than existent things.

So suicide wouldn't be an end to your pain - there would be no 'you' to experience the end of that pain.

vv Are you okay?

[wawa3000000]

What if there is nothing posative? Just nothing. No sign of good ever. What if you have no one...nothing.... What if you don't want the only thing you have, Your life?

[Humanityhealing]

@fagora9 Bless you for your Compassion! SUICIDE IS NOT CHOSEN; IT HAPPENS WHEN PAIN EXCEEDS RESOURCES FOR COPING WITH PAIN. Individuals who are in pain often forget that they are not alone - they forget they are connected not only with the, but with all Life. Our Gratitude to you and your father for helping to bring Healing to those in need.

Much Metta,

HH Team

I think the world can speak loud and clear that you don't belong here. I'm probably going to depart this world during the holidays. Probably make the world a happier place.

[deathbring95]

I think I need help

[alimay23]

I have survived four suicide attempts. And now I'm glad to be alive. There is hope out there.

[quelita1971]

I have been going through really hard times for the past two years. It doesn't ever seem to get better. Two failed IVF, barley hanging on to my job, my husband is mad at me all the time, and my friends do not have time for me. They have no idea what is going on. I put on a fake smile, laugh, and cry when no one is around. I tried talking to my husband a little bit, but he gets upset with me. He never even lets me finish telling him all the problems. I will fake smile and no one knows

[superstriker00]

There's nobody I can turn to in my life. They all hate me.

[Humanityhealing]

@superstriker00 Do you need to talk to someone?

[MRCHAPOGUZMANLOERA]

@superstriker00 -SAME HERE ..I GOT NO ONE

[11hunabku11]

In times of great despair... especially the help of a complete stranger you feel connected to can bring some light into the darkness again. And even the slightest bit of light is enough to make the darkness dissappear.

[11hunabku11]

When I was depressed the chats on HH with some of the folks there helped me for sure. It was however an e-mail to a complete stranger that helped me out big time. I read a story that I recognized so much that I decided to sent him an e-mail. Years later we're still in touch and we understand eachother on an amazingly deep level. He lives on the other side of the world with his girlfriend. We'll be meeting as brothers in November because they are visiting my country.

[KittyCutenesss]

I am on the verge of killing myself .... no one cares about me ... the world is such a cold place .. my father has really done it now .. he pulled the triger and i just can't take it anymore ... I am sorry God please forgive me =(

Bye world

[girl81spain]

soy española y he pensado en el suicidio desde que soy adolescente (ahora tengo 28 años). No es el camino, lo sé. Sin embargo, es muy duro vivir con depresiones; a mí no me apartan de mi trabajo por ahora, gracias a Dios, pero es muy duro seguir adelante con tanto esfuerzo, es cansado, es agotador sentirse casi siempre desanimada. Un abrazo

[absref71]

I agree with jmhdex! This seems like it was done by someone on the outside looking at someone with these feelins, if they where they would know they are looking for feelings to stop more than anything else.

Saying suicide wont solve all your problems is a lie, dead dont feel pain and we all know it. The only way to help then is to show the positive stuff in this world, its amazing how much longer u hold on after a sincere gesture

[jmhdex]

Careful... this did not make me feel better...

[MdP2]

What if the person in question isn't supposed to exist, wants to stop existing and indeed deserves to cease existence? Should we help the subject live or die? And should we provide any help at all?

[Humanityhealing]

Nobody deserves to cease existence. Do you need help?

[MdP2]

I know that question looked weird, but it's such a complex issue that I really have to analyse all perspectives, even those looking absurd. I was considering the following: What if the subject was born by accident? What if it doesn't (and never will) have a purpose or function? And what if it has committed a terrible crime (think of a mass murderer or a tyrant dictator)? Then how should we deal with this case? Is it worth saving such life?

[fagora9]

@MdP2 we are allment to exist no body does more than another. we should always opt to help them live due to how just by saving one life we can in turn save many more from the pain and agony of losing that person so i say that nobody deserves to lose the will tolive or the right to exist

[XritaiscoolX]

its a good video

but the thing is

when your depressed if feels like there is no bright side in lifeee

thats how i feel and more cant rite tho :'(x

[foxgirl100]

[EyalSpirit]

Let me guess, the person who created this presentation was not in a place of deep depression; because when a person is REALLY depressed - you can't tell him "look at the good side in your life" or "in the future it will be better". It is NOT comforting! When a person comes to think about suicide - he feels there is no reason to fight, there is no "good tomorrow" and no hope. NOT AT ALL!

{Hugs to those who need it}

[BaileyLush]

I see your point. But most recovered sufferers forget what it is like to be like in that hole. Most CLINICALLY depressed people doubt that recovery is even possible. But it really is.

[kazimann]

@EyalSpirit I was about to say the exact same thing. I'm going through a VERY rough period of my life right now, and I've been doing my research into long and short drop hanging. It doesn't help I'm suffering from manic depression and a very best case of OCD. I'm on fairly strong anti-depressants, but alas, they can only do so much. For me, I see no real reasons to live. Constantly endure this crap i'm going through every day for the rest of my life? Hardly a good option.

[RedHatBlueShoe]

Jesus is the ANSWER AND WILL ALWAYS be!!!!!!!!!!!! Just believe in Him and He will set you FREE.

[lucybean975]

i don't know.

[koalastephanie]

I lost a friend from suicide. She was only 21. She took her life at Mar.27:(. RIP Alissa.

[fagora9]

@koalastephanie i think i have commented on your stuff before. but i am deeply sorry about your friend i know the pain and sting of suicide tkes a lot out of your emotions and physical energy. me i lost my brother to suicide he was 16 and i just 11. i have a open heart and mind for anyone who needs to or just wants to talk i am going to be a suicide prevention trainer and counseler after college.

[Alyssa2122]

Suicide is Extremely serious!!! I was once about to committ suicide by slicing my neck on a barbed wire fence. But my parents got me the help i needed.

[magnumheaven659]

well done! seriously well done

[Pinkspiderable]

@Alyssa2122 Wow... that would be pretty extreme even for a depressed person to do. I know some people are oblivious to pain in the ouch sense of the

word, but if I had choose to die, I would want to do it as quickly as possible and as painless as possible. I mean come on life is painful enough!

Anyway glad to hear it all worked out for you with your parents intervention.

Long Live Alyssa2122 : )

[TogusAlucard]

help me

[micaela57]

This video is a great service to humanity. I work for Suicide Prevention in Ithaca NY and I refer people to your video often. It's lovely and made with great compassion and love. One thing: at 5:10 you post 1-800-272-TALK as 1-800-273-8225 and it's actually 8255.

[Dawson044]

A guy i have known for about 1 year just commited suicide in the weekend i sat next to the poor bastard in P.E and Geo and form class talked to him everday.Ive tried taking the cold hearted approach simply because i feel its weak to show emotion.But whats bugging me is that the guy asked me multiple times if i wanted to go to his house i said i was busy that has been on my mind now and i see talking to about it weak and pathetic so i will not.Will now get pissed.

[kalacaw]

I've been studying this subject since 1973, and am interested in finding people who are willing to address the actual issues (e.g. bullying).

This society will continue to see the suicide rate climb, until we decide to address the root cause(s) of suicide, and stop looking at the end of line event as a manifestation of mental illness.

[Hunnybitch0]

Thankyou!!!!! Bless you!

[AllSortsOfSupport]

if u r feeling depressed, confused about sexuality,suicidal or ANY PROBLEM, talk 2 me. im here 2 help

R.I.P LIZZY

[cynthiaelle]

Thank you for providing this very helpful information.

[JaniceJanice23]

Bless you.

[ETTA48]

To know more about this it would be very supporting to read the book "The Cycle Of The Soul", written by the metaphysical writer and medium (4th grade) Jozef Rulof, talking about someone who commits suicide, finally, and his life in the Hereafter. Also about his twinsoul Marianne. It brings insight in the total process for everyone.

It is very important besides that to know that there are remedies of Dr. Bach (UK), Bach-flower-remedies, which are supporting and healing in a very easy way.

[ETTA48]

These remedies can be used together with the normal medicine without interrupting the healing work out of that medicine.

Bachflowerremedies help against black thoughts, wanting to commit suicide (Cherry Plum), fears, sadness, lonelyness, and a very special one is Rescue Remedy (Bach), with five flowerremedies in it. You can buy it in a good-health shop. Or search for the website. To buy it on internet.

It helps.

It is known world-wide because of that.....

[cbtodacb]

i have suffered mental illness from late teens...although i repsect your comment and that you are trying to help, i must admit that such treatments including rescue remedy did absoloutely nothing to ease the horrible effects of my disorder...

thanks for your support in this issue though..

good on ya...

[ETTA48]

Thank you for your openness..

Well, the remedies are to prevend in an early stage. Or one of the early stages. When there is a control back into the mind, there has to be support by a psychiatrist, or psycholical therapist, to work on the "why did it come that far"... "What is in the deeper layers of the "self".

The last couple of days I was very happy to have this remedies for someone who was coming into a psychosis. It helped to get calm down again, to get the control back.

[ETTA48]

She needed medicine from the doctor, but se refuses any further medication. Does not want the rescue either anymore. She is falling deeper and deeper. We are very concerned.

I could give peace of mind with massaging her too, but she refuses that too now. Wants to do it as she wishes. It is very very difficult to help when someone does not want help.

It is hurting for those who watch.

Responsable for her too, as far as possible.

Wishing you a wonderful day. Take care.

[ETTA48]

Yesterday there has been a wonderful change in the situation: she has been taken with the ambulance to a hospital for mental illnesses. Freely.

So: great! Now she is safe, and the real help can start.

Thank you, God, thank you for your guidance, for listening to my prayers.

[PhilosopherFresh]

wonderful video!
