What can we do to help?
My sister always wants to die

Perhaps she needs to become aware of the hole she would leave if she left. That’s what pulled me out of it.
I think all of us have thought about it. Our lives are all a semi hellish variant of what it should be.l

Our instinct to survive is strengthened by the thought that we don’t know where we might exist or what state of being we will be in or even know if we will exist at all either being a soul or perhaps going back to just being an indiscernible part of creation. I personally would rather live it out here than having to do something much worse like having to do this all over again until we get past the point where we ended it. That theory is somewhat supported by the shared experiences of “Deja Vu,” which I was told is from the devil. It always leaves me feeling a bit depressed. So I will just stick it out here for now. I am relieved somewhat, that we at least have the option because I really don’t want to live like this forever, but I really would like to live forever as a healthy and whole person. But now I’m just doing time.

Most people would never have dreamed of ending their lives, they are backed into a corner over and over again. If this worked like it should a very tiny portion would consider it.
This way of life is a murderer. And the supporters of it are murderers.
Do things right and you’ll find almost none do this.
Some though, not that it’s a suicide, just suffer forever and they end it or wish to end it, there is no stopping that, some are terminal so they wish to end it, no stopping that.
If anyone cared about suicides things would be changed. People are leaving eachother with no way out most of the time down here.

That’s what I think also.
A lot of people say that they don’t believe in God yet they are afraid to commit suicide because subconsciously they aren’t positive that they won’t be in hell.
And that’s a good thing.
If someone talked to me about suicide I’d tell them “are you absolutely sure that you won’t spend a eternity in hell?” because you gotta figure that’s a big gamble to take because a eternity is a long time to spend anywhere.

That’s pretty much what I base my life on.
Just in case I will be in hell for living a immoral life.
I’ve bet on lotsa things but I’ll never bet with my soul.

An antidepressant helps me and staying in sunny weather helps. But I need 12 hours of sleep a day so for me excessive sleep helps also.

What helped me is thinking about how my family would feel if I did it. I know that would kill my mom and I wouldn’t want to make her feel that way. I just think about my Mom, Dad, Sister, Niece, and Nephew.

Thanks everyone…helps…
When i thought about it in the past it was the hell thing for me also…
Still don’t know what to do, but helps hearing this stuff
You only live once. Good or bad it’s all part of the journey.
and have hope that even though times may feel bad there will be good times to come
The only thing that was keeping me around when I felt like saying bye bye was my family and the pain it would cause others.

Personally, I need a high dose of celexa, 40 mgs of it daily.

Actually you can not help, but a person must understand to seek help by him/herself. Taking a razor blade, cutting a wrist and seeing blood flowing is so easy and painless, but at the certain point a human wants to continue living no matter how hard it may have been. Been there, done that, survived and feeling great.

Well as of yet I haven’t met anyone who could help me. (Though to be fair, I haven’t reached out to many)
But it doesn’t matter because I can’t kill myself anyways. Too many chains binding me here. Ah well.

No matter how much you think people wouldn’t care if you’re gone - the truth is that you’re important to many people.
Here is just one example - of the band Pink Floyd singing about their friend and band member Syd Barrett who developed schizophrenia in his early 20s. Here the bandmembers are 25 years later still singing about their friend.

idk, when i was suicidal i went through it alone so i guess having someone to talk to, to listen and understand that there is help.
dont use cliche lines, speak a way that will make that person think…if they think one way, guide them to thinking a different path
also think medication should be considered.
You describe my situation well. However, if things turn out a certain way for me, it would be better for me to commit suicide. I’ve done a fair amount of investigating near death experiences on the internet, including suicide near death experiences. Some suicides have a euphoric near death experience and meet an entity they call God. A few suicides have a hellish near death experience. Of all the hellish near death experiences I have encountered on the internet, I don’t think there was one where the person who had the experience didn’t get a second chance.
Medication helps the most but just listening can make a difference.
Humans have the natural tendency to live. I remember my auto living in America when I was very depressed and I created a list of 21 methods to end my life, but I never did so. The life won and I am living. Well, it has been already over 13 years since those times. We all have some negative and depressive times, but it is worth of living any way.
