A movie that looks at suicide

[Here4You]

I have been seeking help with some occasional thoughts of suicide. I looked for movies that would help me. I found one, which I just watched, called, “An Inspector Calls” (2015). It is about an interrogation into what events in a person’s life could have warranted suicide. I realized that I myself don’t really have strong reasons to commit suicide. The movie has me thinking. Perhaps for me it is the apathy, lack of things to do, and depression. I got some positive insight from this movie. I hope I am able to ward off future thoughts of suicide.

If you are feeling suicidal, please tell someone — a friend or family member, a teacher, a doctor or therapist or call 911 (if you’re in the U.S.) or the Emergency Medical Services phone number in your country.

You can also call a suicide prevention hotline—these are available in the U.S. and in many other countries.

Thanks for caring, Ninjastar. I have a social worker/ therapist with whom I am talking about this. Also, my mother. I also told my psychiatrist.

For what it’s worth I had transient suicidal thoughts and my psychiatrist and I decided to increase my dose and they went away. (I went from 10mg abilify to 15mg)

Thanks, Everhopeful. I feel like I am going through some hard times. But I am getting a lot of help. It is not bad every day. I am on 15 mg of Zyprexa. Maybe I will tell my doctor and see what he says.
When I first posted this thread I didn’t realize how it reflected on me.

The first rule of suicidal tendencies: DON’T DO IT! The second rule: Get Therapy! The third rule: Remember the crisis lines. If the local lines aren’t operating the national lines probably are. Try not to brood. Look for ways to distract yourself. Spend time on your computer. Watch a good movie. Remember that people on this site can help.
