god, i dont know what to do. Here's the story, my older brother got really depressed cause his ex broke up with him cause she was cheating on him. and then he started cutting himself and thinking about suicide. he got help from a psychiatrist. i thought he got better, but i was wrong. he woke last night, oct. 28. 2007 claiming he had a really bad nightmare. and the music he listens to is about suicide, death, cutting yourself, devils, demons, dark angel, etc. and that music isn't making his depression any better. and i guess the dream was about possessed creatures, or devils, something with the devil in it. and my younger brohter found a razor blade in the bathroom. and i dont know what to do. i'm so scared. and dont tell me to tell my parents cause they already know.

i'm extremely positive w/ him and i dont pity myself, and i'm not depressed. he is the one whom i am pitying and worrying about. he is going on vacation this friday, but i'm afraid what might happen when he is gone. if he gets even more depressed. dont' tell me to talk to him, i've already tried that and it makes him mad. i'm always talking to him and i'm always keeping him company, and i think the way he is acting as though, nice and happy, idk if he is trying to say show me attention, or i need help. i'm just really scared.

he did take meds and it almost made him commit suicide. if he goes to the doctor again he will be put into a mental instution or locked up. and i dont want him to be locked up or put into a mental institution, i just want him to see that there are people who worry and care about him all the time. i dont know how to tell him that without getting him angry or think i'm out to get him.

i understand what you are going through, i'm going through the same thing with my brother, its hard cause you worry about them all the time and when you talk to them about it they get mad. and they tell you to mind your own business, but you can't and you're always scared for them. i think what you should do is just leave to your parents, even though its hard to not worry about him. let your parents handle it, not trying to sound rude but it has nothing to do with you. Just pray and hope that he will find the help that he needs.

I understand it's hard to have your heart broken and this could be his release of that pain and he probably feels alone, the best thing you can do is let him know your worried and that whatever he is going through is not worth losing your life or hurting yourself. Time has its way of healing wounds but killing us at the moment. You have to talk and be honest with him. Let him know you are there get him out of the house and plan somethings that are fun and positive, take him to a concert that has positive music. I am a psychology major and I believe its can help but sometimes people just want to feel happy again and seeing someone who makes them feel crazy makes you feel worse. Keep him busy and put him in a fun atmosphere being around someone or something positive may remind him that you have one life thats it and you have to make the most of it and feeling pitty for yourself and being depressed are just taking up what precious time he has, Its always nice to know that people really love you and are there for you obviously he hasn't felt that, not that its anyones fault, you just need to keep trying and reminding him

First off, don't feel guilty. It is not your fault what he does. Just be supportive and try to get him to seek professional help. If he is currently taking medication for his condition, he may need to change it. If he is not taking it then he needs it. I was having anxiety attacks and was taking the same meds they give for depression. Some of them made me worse and made me feel like committing suicide so the doctor changed my meds and I eventually started feeling better. There are many meds out there and it may take a long time to find the right one, but keep trying.

I know you said you rparents already know. Do you mean they know about the latest incident? If so, then there is nothing more you can do. But maybe if you talk to a counselor you can feel a bit better. Ask your parents about getting some counselling because you are scared for your brother.

Well that must be very difficult to deal with,but i think what you should try to do is show him some positive stuff. Like the movies,gameroom, vacation,or something he likes to do. You can also show him around the town to show that there are hundreds of nice girls.

call the suicide hotline number, they can help you on this one. Don't delay, if he keeps saying it, he will probably go thru with it, without intervention. Pray for him, too, and I will too.
