What is the point of saying you are suicidal?!


Question: What is the point of saying you are suicidal!?
If someone wants to kill themselves then they should kill themselves, when you show up at an Emergency Room or call a Suicidal Hotline and say you are suicidal it is so sillyWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Yeah it really does feel silly (from personal experience of having done both)!.

But the purpose of those things is more to distract you from committing suicide than to assist you with your problems!. (You dont need a psychology degree to work a suicide hotline)!.

Suicidal thoughts are things that travel in and out of your brain!. Sometimes for long periods of time, other times for short!. You might wake up tomorrow or maybe two months from now and feel silly for thinking about suicide but that is how the brain works in situations like that!.

Therapy/counseling can assist but only if theyre really expert people who actually know how to deal with situations like yours!. Most of them are cop-outs though which is why suicide has become quite difficult to treat!.

Hotline volunteers and hospital people are not experts in mental health (nor will they ever be)!. But good therapy and counseling is expensive which is why most people insist on suicidal folk using those two prevention methods when considering suicide!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The reason why people say they are suicidal is because they are looking for someone to help them sort their thoughts out or help them with their problem because they cannot find a way out by themselves!. They may not have anyone that they feel that they can talk with who will give them an objective point of view or they may not know anyone who has knowledge of the thing that they want to discuss so they reach out to someone who may be able to help them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The point is that its a cry for help!. and believe me!. ending up in an emergency room isnt silly!. have you ever actually seen someone end up in the emergency room after attempting suicide!? Have you actually seen the people going through hours of surgery to try to save their lives, trying to revive their heart from a over dose, or trying to stop the bleeding after a gunshot to the head!? Chances are your just ignorant!. These people need help, and thats what the er and suicidal hotline is there for!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It sounds like you need to develop your sympathy skills!. Everyone is meant to be here on this earth even you!. People are feeling really bad when they feel suicidal and need help!. People call for help because they do not want to feel bad and want that help!. I felt suicidal for a great deal of my life!. I had a chemical imballance in my brain!. I fell much better now that I am on medication!. I don't feel like that anymore!. My father would not take medication and he killed himself!. I miss him every day!. I am sure if you have a child or a family member you would not like to lose them to something that can be treated!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Oh, wow!.
It's not silly, its asking for help!. If everyone who wanted to commit suicide did it this world would be without thousands of people who asked for help, got it and improved their lives!.
It's because of people like you that we do take our own lives instead of sticking through the night!. the afternoon!. Waiting for it to get better!. Using inner strength to fight our mental disorder, a disease!.
Encouraging someone to kill them self!? Not the best idea!
wow!.!.!. what a winner!Www@Answer-Health@Com

being suicidal doesnt necesarily have to be wanting to die, it could be not wanting to live and not knowing any alternative other than dyingWww@Answer-Health@Com

Maybe, but then I guess they don't really want to die, they just can't find a reason to live!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
