Can a person be half suicidal?

Answer 1

I think so. It would happen if the other person thought that things would be easier or others would be better if off it they were dead, but that person had no real intention of killing themselves.

Answer 2

I Think everyone who feels suicidal is half suicidal unless they actually go through with it. In a way i think suicide (the actual act of) ranks as 1000000 on the scale of suicidalness and just having one stray thought about it is 1. There is no official measure but this gives you an idea. I VERY MUCH DOUBT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE ON THE PLANET THAT HAVE A 0, SO DONT FEEL ALONE.

Answer 3

I think that some people aren't suicidal but only want to live under certain conditions. For example, someone could be happy with life until they get a terminal illness and choose to die rather than deal with the pain and disability. Is that what you mean?

Answer 4

Yes someone very close to me has bi-polar disorder. With this comes very suicidal tendancies at times but she has a strong conflict in that she is very religious. She has often said that without having her faith she probably wouldn't have been here.

Answer 5

No, suicidal is retaining properties associated with wanting to commit suicide, even if you won't. Thoughts of suicide, wanting to escape emotion through ending your pain ultimately (through death) is suicidal.

Answer 6

Yes to your question.You can feel like you want to commit suicide,but not actually want to do it.This happens alot,especially if you are depressed.I have depression myself,and have went through these type of thoughts.I do not know if you have depression or not...but if this keeps happening~ I would definatatly consult a doctor about it.

Answer 7

There are people who would not commit suicide, but wish someone would kill them and the involve themselves in risky behaviors. (Suicide by cop)

Answer 8

Yes... confusingly.... its called bipolar.....
Symptoms
Bipolar disorder causes extreme mood swings, from feeling overly energetic (mania) to feeling very sad or having low energy (depression). 3

Mania may cause a person to:

Feel extremely happy or very irritable.
Have a very high opinion of him- or herself (inflated self-esteem).
Not need as much sleep as usual (may feel rested after 3 hours of sleep).
Talk more than usual.
Be more active than usual.
Have difficulty concentrating due to having too many thoughts at once (racing thoughts).
Be easily distracted by sights and sounds.
Act impulsively or do reckless things, such as go on shopping sprees, drive recklessly, get into foolish business ventures, or have frequent, indiscriminate, or unsafe sex.
Depression may cause a person to:

Feel sad or anxious for a significant time.
Feel hopeless or pessimistic.
Have slowed thoughts and speech due to low energy.
Have difficulty concentrating, remembering, and making decisions.
Have changes in eating and sleeping habits leading to too much or too little eating or sleeping.
Have decreased interest in usual activities, including sex.
Have suicidal thoughts.
Types of bipolar disorder
Bipolar I. Considered the classic form of the illness, bipolar I causes recurrent episodes of mania and depression. The depression may last for a short time or for months. You may then go back to feeling normal for a time, or you may go right into a manic episode.
Bipolar II. If you have bipolar II, you will experience depression just as in bipolar I. However, the episodes of mania are less severe (hypomania). Bipolar II is more common in women. People with bipolar II have more depressive than hypomanic episodes.
Rapid-cycling bipolar disorder. If you have rapid-cycling bipolar disorder, you will experience at least four episodes of depression, mania, or both within a 12-month period. You may go directly from an episode of depression to an episode of mania, or you may have a short time lapse between the two moods. The mood swings are the same as with other types of bipolar, but the frequency of mood swings distinguishes rapid-cycling bipolar disorder from the other subtypes.
Some people may have bipolar disorder with mixed symptoms, in which episodes of depression and mania occur together. Symptoms include sadness, euphoria, and irritability. Other symptoms can include agitation, lack of sleep, appetite changes, and possibly, thoughts of suicide. This makes the disorder challenging to treat and very frustrating for you and for those around you. It can also lead to hospitalization if daily functioning becomes impaired.

In addition to changes in moods, some people with bipolar disorder also have symptoms of anxiety, panic attacks, or symptoms of psychosis.

Symptoms of bipolar disorder in children can be very different than those of adults and can be confused with other childhood mental disorders, such as depression or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Bipolar disorder in children significantly interferes with a child's ability to function in school, with friends, and at home.

Some other conditions with symptoms similar to bipolar disorder include depression, schizophrenia, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

People with bipolar disorder—men more frequently than women—may have substance abuse problems, especially during manic episodes. 4 Abusing alcohol or drugs may affect treatment and interfere with taking medications as prescribed. Other disorders that may occur along with bipolar disorder include: 5

Obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Panic attacks or panic disorder.
These illnesses need to be treated along with the bipolar disorder.
