Re: Considering Suicide?


Nice post. I’m sure a lot of people have already heard similar things and warnings.
A word of advice if you do call and want to talk to someone......remember some things:

1. You do not have a plan. You do not actually intend to kill yourself. Admit to no more than suicidal thoughts.
2. You do not have the means to kill yourself available
3. You have never attempted suicide before. Nobody in your family has either.
4. You don’t have any recent life stressors
5. You don’t use alcohol/drugs
6. You are under the treatment of a mental health professional who you are seeing weekly.

Remember that they are able to get pass Caller ID blocking and WILL call local mental health authorities.

How sad... That kind of hearkens back to what I said about people not being honest with their doctors and such. Doctors and other people can’t help properly if people are not honest about the problems they are experiencing...
