Answer 1

your brother needs attention,to be heard,and you need a listening ear.find a friend or professional help

Answer 2

Its a cry for help its a way of saying he doesnt think he wants to be here but really deep down he does want to live,taking an overdose is silly but sometimes people have to do it to thenselves and sometimes after it makes them feel better,it like selfharm,the person may not want to do it but it makes the pain inside feel easier and makes it come out they feel better after,If you havent self harmed or overdosed i dont think you can really understand what goes on in the mind of a really depressed person,remember depression effects many people but they say its not a problem its an illness,we all get dowm some just look at it in different ways and cope with it differently,you need to talk to someone try councilling some of the time its better taking to someone you or your family dont know as you tend to open up more,good luck and try to be happy!! :-)

Answer 3

You've thought about it in the past and your brother has done it.
What has caused you guys to want to end things?
If you have problems of any kind, can you talk to your parents? Some parents, no matter how great they are, aren't the type of people you can tell your problems to. Right now the best person to speak to would be a counsellor, to sort out the "now" feelings... apart from that, is there someone else who you can talk to about any problems?
Your brother probably won't want to talk right now, but let him know you're there and you love him and taking his own life might end whatever problems he's having, but it rips the guts out of those left behind. I've been there, done that, (I tried and failed, and had a very close friend who succeeded).

Answer 4

Talk to your parents, or if you have a pet, they are good to talk to, just let it all out. Tell your bother is is selfish, but be nice to him, talk to him!
I took an overdose when I was 14, I was waiting with my mum in the hospital for like 4 hours (thats the NHS for you) and I chatted to her and I let it all out. It made me feel alot better, I also realized how selfish I was and I grew up ALOT after that. I needed something big to happen, for me to wake up! This is probably what happened to your brother. I used to self harm (very stupid) before I took the over dose as a way to let it out, but now I have other ways. I am fine now and am currently studying for my GCSE's. If you feel stressed, have a long bath with some bath bombs, write in a diary to let your feelings out. I talk to my two guinea pigs, it makes you feel better! Think about the good times rather than the bad! Hope you and your brother are OK, I know what you are going through!

Answer 5

Be there for your brother, he is having a hard time right now. I don't know how old you are , but I am sad to hear that you thought of doing the same thing before. Upsets me worse that when your dad asked you to promise that you wouldn't do this.. you couldn't promise this. I think you all need counseling. This is NOT the way to get attention. If you were to do something like this, who is to say you would get to the hospital in time to save you?? You could die!!

Answer 6

I understand that you feel scared and uncertain but imagine how your brother must feel. He may have found it difficult to share his feelings about how he was feeling so be sure that you are there to listen to him now! He must come first at the moment. He needs you to all be there for him. Try to talk to him and make sure he knows that you love him as we all need to know that don't just assume that he knows. Take one day at a time and work together. I hope that your family resolves this problem and that your pain heals. Best Wishes for the future. Good Luck. x

Answer 7

i was in your situation many times... my brother overdosed more than once and i was so depressed and my family was torn apart. i got so depressed i also tried. it didnt help anyone and im glad i didnt go thru with anything. it's hard to be the strong one in situations like this but you need to comfort your family and hold it together your brother will only get help and get better if HE wants to. my brother hasnt wanted to get help or get better and if i got sad every time he did drugs i would be dead just stay strong and hold out hope. You cant do anything except love your brother and family and urge him to get help and talk about why he did what he did. good luck.. your not alone i know its easier said than done but stay strong

Answer 8

Point out that painkiller overdose takes days and hurts like hell and after a while the doctors cant help you or stop the pain...

serious


Work out what he can use to kill himself...


And research seriously how agonising things like hanging are. They aint quick at all and present it to him.


Also work out what the problem is and deal with it...


DO NOT say its not a problem... an overdaose of anadin proves its serious.

And seriously fix it.

And the parents will have to take the resaons or needs very seriously and not dismiss it.

He needs more then coucelling or a chat. he needs activive fixing...


ie if being bullied he needs to learn to fight, if he cant get a girlfriend he needs changing and getting laid...

Hell send him somewhere like

www.fkk-oase.de the photos are accurate.

with fake ID.

Then help him get a proper girlfriend.

Without more details dont know how to help

Answer 9

firstly you need to talk to your brother and tell him how you feel as you seem close to him,your brother may have personal issues or maybe he used to get bullied at school as self harm is usually caused by a bad childhood for example bullies. you and your brother need to see a therapist and you have to talk to your parent and hard and scary as it may seem, it would really help.

hope everything works out for you and your family
good luck

Answer 10

I think you're whole family needs counseling. Please suggest this to them. If you cannot afford it, go to your high school counselor and tell her/him the situation. There is always inexpensive/free help available and they'll know where to find it. Don't sweep this under the rug. I feel bad for you, honey. Trust other people.
