Answers:
people who have tried to take their lives were crying for help,not attention!.anytime a person talks of wanting to take their own life is reaching out for help,these cries for help should not be ignored,they should be taken seriously!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

In mental health there is such a thing as "suicidal gesture" which is more like a less dangerous and not likely to be leathal suicide attempt!. Humans are fast learners and so some peoples attempts become more and more lethal until they get it right!. So all suicide attempts, statements, threats, and gestures should be taken seriously and it really doesn't do any good to judge "is this just attention seeking!." It should in all cases be a sign that the person needs help in some fashsion!.
People say it is attention seeking, which it is in some form, but it is more simply a behavior caused by a symptom(s) of a diagnosed mental disorder!. I think most research states that completed suicides are 90-98% the result of a mental health disorder!.
Keep in mind that frequent suicidal thoughts, gestures, and attempts are also an indicator of (BPD) borderline personality disorder!. It may be possible to have more than one diagnosis of course!. Google BPD, you will find it interesting!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

funny that you ask!.
At one time I was so depressed, that I tried suicide!.
I did not want any attention in fact I tried to hide at the time of the attempt!.
Much as an animal that is about to die!.
No I just wanted to die with no attention at all!.
Now at times I feel that I'm a failure at suicide also!.
some just get what the want the first time at the attempt!.
Others just seem to fail, they might not try again!.Or attempt it until they get it correct!. Some just might wish for the attention!.So there you have it in a nut shell!.
By the way, I did not want help! just out of this game that is called life!.
I slit myself a few deep times on the side opposite of the elbow where they put a iv at times!.
I passed out and pooped myself!. So I guess that I came very close to death!. had hallucinations while near death!.
I woke up to the world all over again!.!.!.
well some force just wants to keep me on this earth!. Why and what for only the force knows for sure!.!.!.
singed failure at suicideWww@Answer-Health@Com

It is definitely a cry for help!. They want to feel that someone loves them enough to stop them or even help them if they do try it!. You need to talk to them and let them know that you are there for them!. Try to get them to go to a counselor!. They really do need help!. Maybe you can help them find it, until then just be a close friend!. Someone they can talk to and depend on!. That's probably what they need more than anything is to just know that someone cares!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i don't know if its about attention or truth,


but i can tell you this!.!.!.

only the ones with the greatest grudges and depression will be the one who can successfully execute this attempt!.


this person might be someone who doesn't look depressed or EMO!.



you will know when the time has come!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well u answered my question so no i dont believe people seek attention have people ever thought for once people are just like that they dont seek attention thats just who they r just cuz u do something that other people dont agree with or think is terrible seek attention maybe people should think more into it just cuz its something u dont agree with doesnt make it right thats my opinionWww@Answer-Health@Com

That's a tough question!. I have tried before but when it came so close I called 911!. I'm not saying that I didn't want to die at the time I overdosed!. When I realized how I would hurt my family and the lonely feeling that over whelmed me when I thought this is it , it's over, I didn't want to die!. But then again I felt like wanting to kill myself since then!. Although I snap out of that thought right away now!. So each time people try I think at the time they really want to end their life!.
Take care and don't give up!Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is not attention-seeking!. Okay, well, I admit, there ARE teens out there who are just looking to be the talk of their friends!. But, most of the time, people are GENUINELY pleading for help!. If no people notice how deeply they're hurting inside, then they pull out the suicide card!. Or they truly want to end their lives!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i'm not impressed with after care!. u only have to meet my psychiatrist to realize why!.tell them it does not have to be an option (suicide) sometimes all people want is a really good hug with lots of love they never got when young!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I feel that people that try to commit suicide is mainly calling out for help!. I think people who have suicide on their mind are serious and they are really trying to find a way out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

they might not be looking for attention
but what they really need is someone to talk to
and they really might be seriousWww@Answer-Health@Com

THAT PEOPLE IS CRYING FOR HELP, THEY REALLY WANT TO BE NOTICED, BECAUSE THEY FEEL NO ONE CARES ABOUT THEM AND THEY WANT TO SEE IF, TRYING TO COMMIT SUICIDE THEY CAN GET PEOPLE'S ATENTION!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i dont think they were really serious or the would of tried harder :( but they need someone to talk to someone to help themWww@Answer-Health@Com

Cry for help, not attention!.
They want someone to help them, and kinna save them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If they were truly serious, they would have succeeded!. This is a cry for help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It has been my experience that when a person is seriously trying to commit suicide, they usually succeed!. My reasons for making this statement are:

In a true suicide, most people do not leave lengthy, if any letters or notes to anyone!. When a note is left most of the time I feel it is intended to give someone in their life a wake up call to make them start treating the person better!.

When there are several unsuccessful "attempts", I feel that is a desperate cry for help (attention)!. Something is seriously lacking in their lives that they crave the "save me" solution rather than seeking out for themselves the underlying cause of this bleak unhappiness they are living!.

I feel a plea for help is more in the lines of a suicide, without a note or any warning, that did not take!. Meaning they did not succeed, but were found and taken to the hospital before the deed could come to end!.

I deeply feel that multiple attempts, with ot with out a note left behind, is just an attention seeking way of putting the responsibility of living life on life's terms, onto someone else!.

When you are put in the hospital for a suicide attempt, most cases are sent to an in house treatment center where they are monitored along with other mentally ill patients!.

While there those patients become acquainted, and ultimately share what they did to try to kill themselves!. If you didi not know exactly how to end it all the first time, by the time you are released from the pshcy ward, you leave there armed with enough information to put an infallible plan in action!.

Also, those that take and over dose of meds of any kind is the ones who maybe aren't quite sure if death is the answer, and are not fully committed to the act!. Taking the over dose is the , for lack of better words, the cowards way out!.

It leaves a loop hole that if it's not meant to be then, God or a higher power will save them somehow!.

Suicides that are more brutal in nature, I believe are people who are serious about finishing what they started!. These are the persons who are serious, and their usually is no way out or chance of things not going to completion!.

I won't list these things, as not to put any ideas out there per chance there is someone who is contemplating that decision!.
But, persons that truly want out of life usually do it completely the first time they try!.

Now, just a word!. Suicide is not the answer to your pain and unhappiness!. It is the cowards way to deal with life and is completely selfish for those that love them!.

If you are or have comtemplated suicide, please, I urge you to seek professional care!.!. If one doctor does not take your concerns serioiusly, got to an area mental health center!. Every county or township of municipality has one or is able to provide you with the nearest one to you!. And you do not have to have insurance to get into these facilities!.

They are set up as a public service for the people!. Many, many churches will welcome you in and try to provide any help they possibly can!. It does not matter if you attend that church or even attend any church!. They are concerned with the task of helping you find yourself and a healthy way to live your life!.

I know this is a lengthy answer, but sometimes things just have to be said!. One failed attempt is a sure sign the person needs help!. Many failed attempts is a sure sign that the person is attention seeking and need a long term care plan to truly find the problem!.

The there at the anomalies that for all intents and purposes should have died, but they did not!. Health care professionals have no reasonable answer as to why the person lived!. My opnion is that when it's your time to leave this world, you will!. It will not matter where you are, whether you took a different route to work, or any other factors!.

When God calls, you will go!. If its not your time, no matter what you do, if God has a purpose for your life and you have not yet fulfilled it, you will remain in this life with the consequences of a failed suicide attempt!.

If you feel you need help ask for it!. Keep asking everyone and look every where for help and answers!. Don't stop until you get that help!.

There is nothing ti be ashamed for in asking for help if you have truly exhausted all resources avaliable to you to get to the root of the problem that is causing such drastic considerations as suicide!.

Good luck, and take care!. Jackie bWww@Answer-Health@Com
