How would you help this person?What advice would you give to a person who feels so hopeless that suicide seems like the only solution?
I would say that you need to talk to them. Just listen. Maybe she just wants someone to listen. If she told you this, she wants you to listen.


If it's you, that you are talking about then


you need to know people care. Things will get easier. It's always darkest before the dawn. Everyone has hard times.What advice would you give to a person who feels so hopeless that suicide seems like the only solution?
Send them bright and cheery flowers with a little card to cheer them up. Everytime they see the flowers they might feel a little better...long enough to cope and work thru their depression.
Remind them that there is no going back for a redo after the fact. Better be absolutely positive first. Then I would remind them that it might be better to hang around a bit just to see what happens next.
suicide is easier to consider then to actually do(succesfully) but you can always try and see.
If that person is actually considering suicide, I would have that person involuntarily hospitalized as a suicide risk. Suicidality is a psychiatric disease, and it can be fatal, it's no less urgent than a physical wound or infection, and needs treatment, even if the person does not want it. By definition, anyone who is considering suicide (with only very few exceptions defined by serious endstage physical disease) does not at that point have the capacity to make their own health care decisions, so he (or she) must be treated, even if it's against his will.
I agree 100% with The Doc. Death isn't an option. That would only be the beginning of torment.


There is hope. The Bible teaches us that God is our hope. There is always something to hold to when we feel this way. Some days it may only be a tiny little sliver of something, but something at least.


If it is you or a friend - my advice would be to ';seek help'; and Pray to GOD to comfort and lead.


BTW GOD is with us even when we are alone and He loves each of us the same. The Bible also teaches us that HE is our help in our time of need.


Sometimes we focus on things too much and lose sight of the real purpose of life.





Hope this can be of help!
If she likes pets...I would like her to come to my place and help me teach my cat not to **** on the floor. She has a litter box, I need help to teach her how to use it.
Fortunately the only thing that can be done and the only person that can help you is you. You need to find the will to live and understand that is not a way out. And if you do this you hurt everyone around you. So if you are really serious and u just don't feel like going on then you need to put yourself in the Hospital and make yourself safe so that you cant harm your self. I'm sure that you are scared right now so consider it A time out and a small Vacation to get some help. Trust me I have been there , where you just don't know if you can go on. And the only way out you think is Suicide. But it's not. So take some time to your self and think really hard about what you are going to be throwing away. And understand that if you do it there is no coming back , and life is always going to be hard and challenging. And there is always going to be ups and downs. But trust me it always gets better I promise. It might not seem like it right now but It dose. Sp please just pray to God to give you Peace of mind and Live and be the great person that you are and that God had intended you to be.


God Bless you.


And please don't do it. Remember it dose get better.....
