Suicide Warning Signs Awarenes Prevention Educational Video; public domain video from the USAF. Warning signs: Recognize the Signs Of Depression and Possible Suicide Risk. Talking About Dying -- any mention of dying, disappearing, jumping, shooting oneself, or other types of self harm. Recent Loss -- through death, divorce, separation, broken relationship, loss of job, money, status, self-confidence, self-esteem, loss of religious faith, loss of interest in friends, sex, hobbies, activities previously enjoyed. Change in Personality -- sad, withdrawn, irritable, anxious, tired, indecisive, apathetic. Change in Behavior -- can't concentrate on school, work, routine tasks. Change in Sleep Patterns -- insomnia, often with early waking or oversleeping, nightmares.
Change in Eating Habits -- loss of appetite and weight, or overeating. Diminished Sexual Interest -- impotence, menstrual abnormalities (often missed periods). Fear of losing control -- going crazy, harming self or others. Low self esteem -- feeling worthless, shame, overwhelming guilt, self-hatred, "everyone would be better off without me". No hope for the future -- believing things will never get better; that nothing will ever change. Other things to watch for- Suicidal impulses, statements, plans; giving away favorite things; previous suicide attempts, substance abuse, making out wills, arranging for the care of pets, extravagant spending, agitation, hyperactivity, restlessness or lethargy. Be especially concerned if a person is exhibiting any of these warning signs and has attempted suicide in the past. According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, between 20-50% of people who commit suicide have had a previous attempt. What to do: First, if someone you know appears to be depressed and is contemplating suicide, take them seriously. Listen to what he or she is saying. Take the initiative to ask him or her what they are planning, but don't attempt to argue them out of committing suicide. Rather, let the person know that you care and understand and are listening. Avoid statements like: "You have so much to live for." Then seek help. Encourage the person to seek the help of a mental health professional. Because the person probably doesn't think they can be helped, you'll probably have to be persistent by going with him. If your loved one appears to be in danger of committing suicide imminently, do not leave him or her alone; remove any weapons or drugs that may be used. Accompany him or her to the nearest emergency room. During treatment, support your friend. Help them to remember to take antidepressant medications and to continue any other therapy prescribed.

The fucking military has the motherfucking courage to care? Bullshit. They leave their damaged soldiers to fend for themselves. The government has never helped anyone. How many soldiers have commited suicide? How many have died in vain? They refuse to diagnose mental illness in veterans so they can send them back into war zones. They cut almost all of the funding for the V.A. Fuck the government. Fuck the armed forces. All they've ever done is kill our children.

Then people say you are been selfish and you are just stupid feeling bad and having suical thoughts, which you feel even worse about and feel maybe you don't deserve to live. Then people say there are worser people out there, so you try to help them, but there are too many and you relise the crulity and selfishness out there and you feel even worse :(.

[234566tgvb]

Sometimes people just get feedup with this crappy thing we call the human race. Everyone out there seems to be wanting to look after them selves and has no intrest in anyone else, your expected to earn your way through life, but job security seems to be falling. Life is just fall of pressure, pressure, pressure. Then your told you should not feel this way because others arew worse, so you try and help these worse of people, but you can't help them all and you feel you let them down :(.
