When someone states to you, "I am planning to commit suicide"..?!


Question: When someone states to you, "I am planning to commit suicide"!.!.!?
what do you do!. I love this person very much, having a relationship for 8 years, I know how depressed this, later in life, person can get!. The support team is zero!.!. His chilldren are gone, grown, and moved away!.

Although, our 8 yr relationship ended due to his depression, my 16 yr!.old, and his constand state of "just staring w/ no response-sometimes for months, literally), I still 2-yrs!. later try to talk with him 3-4 x a week, help him with his chores, etc!. Just becasue a relation ship failed-my caring did not!.

Tonight after dinner--He told me that he has his suicide planned!. In roughly 6-weeks!. He detailed it out for me, I in tears questioned many things!.!. I have no clue what to do, where to turn!? When we split-we revoked the Power of attorney; therefore, I cannot force help for him!.

Answers:
Last year on July 3rd, I attempted suicide - obviously unsuccessfully as I'm here to read your post!.
I felt drained, exhausted, sad, numb & felt that death would be a relief from the pain!.
I didn't chose that specific night!.!.!. I just knew that I was sooo tired mentally & emotionally!. On July 3rd I just snapped!.
I so understand your friend's pain and the empty look that may be in his eyes!. Please know that he is alive behind the blank stare!. His silence isn't really that at all!.!.!. it speaks loudly that he is overwhelmed with grief, sadness, loss, etc!.
Please take what he said seriously!.
Contact his children - even if he thinks they've forgotten about him!.
It is possible, as a last resort, to call the police & have someone taken into a hospital (via ambulance) if there is a real sense of the person doing themselves harm!.
I'm glad that you are his friend!. Don't give up on him!.
Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
