how can you deal with thoughts of suicide?

Answer 1

Well, I know life is tough at times, but you must remember, that whatever it is that is causing you so much pain, this too shall pass away. Many people think they can kill their bodies, but that is all you would be doing. You cannot kill your soul. Anyone who thinks they are going to "escape" this world, this predicament, or end their condition,with suicide only find that they are facing the same predicament or situation in the afterlife, and therefore escaped...and ended...nothing. Whatever it is, my friend, you have the power to change it, or "create" a new and better situation for yourself. Believe in the power of YOU.

Answer 2

Thoughts of suicide only lead in one direction, death.
Therefore think of other things you could be doing. Go help a friend out with something. Go help people you don't know, who need help. Get involved with something bigger then your self.
There is a big world out there that could use another pair of helping hands. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

Answer 3

Attempt to take your mind off of whatever ails or stresses you out you at the current moment.

Watch something that amuses you, hang out with loved ones and/or friends.

Discuss your problems with someone you trust and care for.
Do an activity that you enjoy dong.

Maybe help someone, to see if it makes you feel better.

Fresh air, sun light.

Productivity.

Even naps.

Meditation.

Yoga.

If you’re religious look for answers and guidance in your faith.

If you’re not look for those same things in something else just as important to your person.

Try not to wallow in self pity and hopelessness.

No vegetation of the mind or body.

Don’t forget of belittle any potential.

The rain always washes away the dry patches in life…it’s only a matter of being strong-willed, hopeful, and patient..

Good luck, I hope things become brighter for you sooner than later.

Answer 4

when dealing with suicide it doesn't always help to talk to a therapist or doctor. you just have to pray all they want to do is drug you up. i've currently been diagnosed with bipolar, manic, and schezophrenia and they have changed my medications about 10 times in the last year and i'm so afraid to take the new medications because of the way the old ones make me feel. pray and good luck.

Answer 5

If you're really suicidal, you should see a psychiatrist and get some antidepressants--at least to take off the edge for awhile.

The best remedy to depression though is a combination of healthy living and keeping busy. "Workaholic" is considered negative, but it is a good temporary solution to depression.

Obvioulsy, i might sound like an optimist here, go to a happy place... or whatever you want to call it.... it where you can listen to music to get you thoughts off of it, or this may sound dorky but you could study.

Answer 7

Think of all the positive things in your life and then think of all you'll miss if u decide to kill yourself, and think of all the people you'll hurt if you go ahead and kill yourself.Also think of all the people who took out the time to actually try to help you by using Yahoo! answers. Most important pray to God if you have faith that he can help you he will.
