I'm sad that some people see suicide as a viable solution. I also don't think that anyone has the right or moral high ground to judge anyone who either has or hasn't taken that option because everyone's situation is different. Everyone has their own individual lives and their own problems and that is just incomparable to anyone else's. I also agree that the best thing to do is be there for them and research how you can help.
In regards to the military, it is a disgrace how this country provides for service men and women when they return from combat. The whole VA scandal and off-script use of psychological drugs without any oversight is just irresponsible to say the least. And then even when you have them taking all these psych drugs off script without an actual psych diagnosis, many of the vets are still self-coping with substance abuse to the rate of twice than those in the civilian population. It's just crazy.

Suicides for cowards. Fight for your life, dont be a pussy and quit.
Still dont understand the mentality and why you would kill yourself for ANY reason, or look for help with drugs/alcohol/or cigarettes. Stupid.

If someone has suicidal thoughts, I suggest they write stuff they like a lot or that they always wanted to do. When they think they're at the end of the line, they should do it. Or do something they never do, like listening to grandparents rambling about their life. Suicide is a solution you think you've found when you aren't able to live correctly for too long. If nothing changes in your awful life, I think it's a good idea to change that life.

I've dealt with Depression for a while. Most days I just feel bored, but slowly the things I used to love that would entertain me just aren't holding my interest.
There were only 2 times that my Depression has spiked and turned into something serious.
The first time was when I first found out I was depressed, I had to focus hard just to do the most basic things. Typing on a keyboard required the focus needed to lift 40lb dumbbells on each arm after an already draining workout.
The second time was 7 years later and MUCH worse. Normally I don't really notice my emotions, I have them under complete control, but this was like a sudden indescribable spike of everything negative, like a panic attack or something. I looked over at one of my knives and felt this driving urge to cut my wrist like a steak, but I still maintained enough self control to prevent that.
I gathered up all my blades, took them to my mom, and told her not to let me have them back till I was ok again. (And no, I wasn't composed as I said it.)
I was still freaking out at the time so I called a buddy of mine... He got me stoned off my ass! It was the first time I smoked but by far not the first time I was around it. It completely stopped my panic attack, and cleared my head enough that I could reason my way out of the situation. I analysed everything and everyone that could've contributed to creating the event and cut them out of my life.
But my point is, it's not always a choice. I barely came out of that without hurting myself and I have no desire to do that or to die. If I wasn't so stubborn I probably wouldn't be here today. (Oh, and I don't take any medication to manage it, though I guess I used pot like a medicine quite clearly there.)

It is an illusion to the mind. just because life is a living hell now, doesn't mean it always will be. What we endure makes us stronger and forms who we are today. If we do not endure our trials and tribulations, then how shall we progress in life?

I don't respect people who scream they're going to commit suicide, attempt and fail. Not only are you a failure at life, you can't even kill yourself right. "But Kichi... people have medical conditions and blah blah blah". I don't give a fuck. If you want to die, go for it. Not going to stop you, talk you out of it or shed a tear. I will, however, ridicule you if you're one of those people who say you're gonna commit suicide cause you're sad and life sucks and what not. Those people are not depressed. They're attention whores and I don't pay them any mind. For some people, death is a release from their grief, pain & suffering, whatever that may be to them and I am not going to tell them not to. Who am I to stop someone from suicide? It's not my call. It's their life. if they want to end it, as an adult, I'll respect their wish and leave them to their vices.
If anything, I respect people who do it and actually commit suicide. They had the balls to follow thru and actually COMMIT.

People kill themselves for various reasons. Some do it out of despair, some out of altruism, and some out of self-determination. I wouldn't be quick to judge those who follow through or even consider suicide. Those who talk about "offing" themselves tend do so as a cry for help. Those who are determined to kill themselves will do it anyway.
It's wishful thinking that suicides are preventable. As individuals, we could only help those who are seeking help. We can provide help in the form of hearing them out, providing helpful alternatives, or a swift kick in the ass. It really depends on the person. Ultimately, it's their life and it's totally up to them.

i had several people around me who did commit suicide/tried to do it.
it is no easy thing most of them had rough times most of their live's. Most of them where "over" emotional they couldn't let go of the bad things that where happening. Their problems kept on following them, them not being to let go was their downfall. When some one is depressed it is a sign that something has to change in their live or it could escalated and lead to suicide.
my best friend that i knew since i was 8 years old nearly bled to dead from cutting his wrist, he is chronic ill and might never have a normal life.
my first girl friend nearly jumped in front of a train because she was sick of her family abusing her.
A other friend on my school did jump in front of a train after his gf broke up with him.
my neigtbore hanged himself because of a burnout from working to much.
my 3th girl friend hanged herself but failed because her parents found her in time. she was diagnostic with manic depression.
I myself thought about doing it because everything that was going on. being bullied because i didn't fit in any group because of my autism. Not being able to understand why people reacted in certain ways when i was little.being arrested by the police because for once in my life i stood up for myself and fought back, the bulling was already going on for over a few years. A verbally abusive mother who always talks me down.
and that was just the beginning...
it made me feel horrible my life meant nothing to me if it had to be that hard. Yet i never wanted to give up...
In the end i always refused to pull the trigger, because I thought to myself "What would I mis if it does get better?".
At this moment I haven't been depressed in 2 years and I'm doing great. I have friends do fun stuff with them and do the things I want to do.I learned some psychology to better understand the emotions of other people, they still think i'm slightly odd but not to the point that they don't want to be with me.
in the end is just a simple question do you give up on life or not.
If you truly want to help some one with these problems ,then they really need to get into a more positive environment and they need to forget their problems and make the best out of what they still have and learn to accept themself.

People die when they are killed.
You will wake up dead.
