To anyone who has considered suicide? how do we help you to stay?

I was feeling suicidal a few weeks ago after taking the black label antidepressant venalafaxine, coming off it combined with SAMe, Sarcosine and NAC have pulled me back from the brink, I now feel bright and cheery

Make me feel safe. Help me with the pain. Ask right questions. Tell me I’ll be ok.

I tried once and planned a second a few weeks later when I saw no other way out. Away from the pain and terror. Voices told me to. I finally gave up and started listening to them.

The only things that have stopped me so far is my family and the fact that someone will go through an ordeal finding my body. So I am staying, for now.

What stopped me was reading the tibetan book of the dead. I went in reading it to find a way suicide could work, but the book was so insightful and made me look at the world in a more positive light. It made me want to be a better person

That was how it was with my sis. I didn’t want people to think I was planning anything. So I tried to be upbeat and happy and turning a corner.

My sis thought something was up.

I’m sorry you had a bad time here that sucks.

Not to sound like a jerk but anybody can put anything that they want on the Internet so for me when I’m researching something I’m seriously wanting to know about I read real actual books that have been published by reputable companies.

That way some professionals that have a stake in the book have checked it.

I’ve been pondering a bit of my life back then. It’s hard to look at.

But for a while… I really was just lucky and small things that kept me going one day to the next. It’s almost embarrassing what got me through a few of my darkest nights… just people checking on me and wouldn’t leave… and other small things.

But after I woke up in hospital… I got to see very clearly just how much trauma and sorrow I laid on some of my family. For a while… I tried to live for them… right or wrong… it got me through the days again.

As I got better… I began to live for me.

Why would they lie? Why would they give a fictitious account of that?

Maybe for fun? Maybe they are delusional?

I’m just saying that FOR ME the Internet is the last place that I go for any technical knowledge that’s already proven.

I mean if I was researching why I should or not commit suicide and looking for others experience I would not go to the Internet for that.

A person can tell which near death accounts have the ring of truth. It does seem to me that there are some accounts that are there to support an agenda, but books can be fraudulent too.

Yep you are right man, lotsa books are fraudulent.

Hard question. Personally, I don’t think anyone could say or do anything to change my mind. I notice I try to convince myself of reasons to stay (and I have 3). So whenever I’m feeling suicidal I always look back to that list. Maybe ask her to make a similar list.
