Should I tell friends/family that I'm going to commit suicide?

Question

If you've put a lot of time and thought into it, do you need to find someone you trust and at least tell them what's about to happen before it does?

Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

If i were to commit suicide should I tell my family/friends?
Whatever your answer is to me...please USE THIS ADVICE YOURSELF...remember this...i feel compassion for you so much
and i do not want to lecture you...but if you have ever lost a person to suicide you are left behind to mourn and grieve with guilt because you wish you could have done something or at least knew. The dead are gone anf feel no pain but we remain
to suffer and sometimes slip into depression and even contemplate taking our own life. The chain reaction is awful.
Please post another question on board or e-mail me. I will be thinking of you until i hear from you. P.S. you did tell someone...ME!!!!!

Answer 3

Absolutely. Instantly. Especially at this time of the year, when the general mood of happiness and celebration all around you can be really depressing.

Suicide cuts off the chance for something good to happen. Suicide may let the person be free of their pain, but the amount of pain and hurt they leave behind is extraordinary.

If you're thinking about it, go and talk to someone right away - because there IS hope, there ARE answers, there ARE people who would be devastated and there ARE people who can help.

Today would be good.

Answer 4

You need to talk to someone. Even if you've put a lot of thought into it, its really not worth putting your loved ones thru it.

If you're really unhappy, pack your bags and move to India. It's beautiful, and chaotic at the same time. It'll make you see that your problems are not mountains, they're only mole-hills.

God Bless You, sometimes we all need some support. Don't do it.

Answer 5

Put that same time & thought into the possibilities that your future holds! Call a hotline NOW...PLEASE!! Nothing is worth giving up the amazing gift of life we were given. Think of the truly impoverished, ill, abused people around the world that are still able to find a reason to wake up each morning! If they can find a reason to go on, so can you!

Answer 6

When you are young (I`m guessing you are) Problems seem much bigger than they really are.Everything is devastating.When I was young,a friend of mine hung himself because his girlfriend dumped him! He was only 14.He would never know the many girlfriends he would have had later,his future wife,kids,joys,sorrows,happiness.etc.He closed the book on his life before the first chapter was through.His life might have had a happy ending,we will never know.No one knows what tomorrow will bring! But,if you`re not here, it brings nothing.Life is like basic training for the afterlife.It`s NOT easy! Its NOT supposed to be.You will never know the ending to "your book" if you`re not here to finish it! Don`t sweat the small stuff,and compared to whats waiting for us on the "other side" it`s ALL small stuff.EVERYTHING!!

Answer 7

You don't really want to end it all darling...and if you are wanting to talk to someone about it, that is a great thing...you need a dear friend to talk to, indeed...but please, you never know what tomorrow may bring to you...that light at the end of the tunnel might just be shining in the morning....you never know...you should go to the hospitial..and talk to someone, because there is nothing in this world that can't solved with God and Jesus, who love your forever...please pray for strength, and for Them to interviene in your life,..for you are precious to Them...in spite of how others may be making you feel right now...When you live for the Lord,...you have a reason to go on...and please, you can't be forgiven for killing yourself if you go through with it...Please tell your family and friends, if it will stop your actions,...maybe that is JUST what you should do at this time..My prayers are with you also darling,...God Bless, and keep you safe...xxxx

Answer 8

first of all i dont think you want to commit suicide it is not cute. People that really want to commit suicide usually dont tell anyone they are very depressed and distraught that is why it is very hard to diagnose someone who is suicidal. Let me tell you from someone who knows my grandma commited suicide and it still affects me. and i never met her. the reason it affects me is because my mother is very depressed about it. suicide is selfish you have to much to live for and to much going for yourself to end it on one bad thing happening in your life. first of all if you dont love yourself which most people who are suicidal dont i will tell you to love your self i dont know you and i love you for just being stupid enough to ask on the internet whether your life is worth telling someone you are going to end it will i am your guardian angel sent to you to tell you that it is suck up whatever you are going through everything always works itself out. just be happy you are on this earth it is so stupid for you to kill yourself and there is people out here that do not have a choice whether they could live or die. let me tell you i work in a hospital i see it everyday. and i can name 200 kids right now that would rather be in your shoes

Answer 9

Yes!!! But you really shouldn't cause it's not gonna make anything better and all it will do is cause your family a lot of greif!! Please don't. Truly I think that it's the chicken way out anyway. If you feel that you're in a bottomless pit, eventually someone will come and pull you out of it!!! Just give it time and your situation will get better.

Answer 10

Sounds to me like you really don't want to do it. I'd suggest telling someone so that you can get the help that you need. No problem is so big that you need to end your life. That is such a cowardly approach.
