Why do people try to kill them self?

Answer 1

any sort of depression can be tide over by faith in GOD and sincere prayer.

Your prayer is from your heart. Further You must have to understood the fact that God is present in our heart. This can be realised in meditation. Further we are the creation of our own destiny. As per Hindu sacred religion, we carry all good and bad deeds life after life. There is no end unless we pray for unification of self with the divineliness.
Hence there is always a possible way to complete mergence with God in this life by a simple and wonderful meditation

Answer 2

The previous answerer was incorrect when she said that most suicides/attempters have major depression-it is a mix of bipolar disorder, major depression and schizophrenia that attempt or complete suicide. Also there is borderline personality disorder that has high numbers of suicide attempts.

Most people try to kill themselves because they are in terrible, hopeless despair and can't see any end to it. In my case, I get bipolar depression, and that is so emotionally painful it is hell on earth, and I think everyone hates me besides, and I hate myself. I just went thru 3 years of that hell, so you can see how people do give up after awhile. Most people who suicide are in the earlier stages of their mental illness when they have fewer coping skills. Also, elderly men are a major group of people committing suicide, they are very likely to succeed in their attempts. Probably it is major depression in most of those cases, since someone with bipolar disorder or schizophrenia probably would have been previously diagnosed. Depression/bipolar/schizophrenia don't just make you sad and suffer intolerable emotional pain, they also make you not think right, so you have trouble asking for help.

I hope you are not judgmental about people attempting or succeeding in killing themselves. It is a terrible tragedy for the family and friends left behind, but it's really no different if the person died of some other fatal illness. These mental illnesses just force a person to kill themselves, instead of something like cancer where wayward cells do it instead.

Answer 3

Suicide is a desperate act by a desperate person.

Although there are certainly exceptions to the rule (e.g., those who may use suicidal gestures in an attention-seeking manner only), most folks who are suicidal are deeply depressed, and are not thinking as clearly as they would be otherwise. The cognitive impairments associated with depression can be more profound than you might imagine.

To characterize suicidal behavior and/or suicidal ideation as "selfish" or "cowardly" minimizes the pain and legitimate suffering of these people, and over-simplifies what is an incredibly complex disorder. It is the equivilent of calling an insulin-dependent diabetic "cowardly" or "selfish". Diabetics cannot control their blood sugar the way non-diabetics can.

Similarly, folks with major depression (the VAST majority of folks who have attempted or completed suicides are suffering from major depression) cannot control the levels of neurotransmitters in their brains. Depression has nothing to do with selfishess or cowardice. Depression (and associated behaviors such as suicide attempts/completions) is caused by a chemical (i.e., neurotransmitter) imbalance in the brain.

Answer 4

sometimes because they are depressed. Have you ever felt so depressed that you didn't want to think? That is what life is like for a depressed person, and how often the person feels that depressed depends on them. Life seems pointless. If someone religious and depressed, then they might not want to live because they think what is the point of living on this agonizingly painful earth if they could be in joyful heaven.? Some depressed people hardly ever get joy from their life.

Answer 5

That's a pretty loaded question. Have you never said to yourself as brief as it was, at one time or another, that you wanted to kill yourself? What were you thinking? Depressing caca.

Answer 6
