in regards to my prior post with my first hand experience of this, i'm going to keep it short. if you want futher details message me.

i stated that once before just because someone says they're going to commit suicide, is not always true at being a cry for help. and that sometimes, they really do follow through after that statement. never assume that statement is just a cry for help.

in my own personal experience at attempting, i had been going through quite some stress over a 3 or 4 month period. it was just after the holidays, i had just lost my boyfriend to my best friend in my own home. my child was off on vacation with her dad for the week. i called the ex boyfriend said it, and followed through.

no, i didn't succeed obviously.... but i did go through with it. how the hell i survived i'm not sure i'll ever know. there were alot of things that went about with mine that i shouldn't have survived the attempt. so, there was a cry for help, if you want to call it that. there was no one to intervene or to talk to me to rationalize it all before i tried.

i spent a week in the hospital under my psychiatrist, was on a new medicine since apparently the other wasn't working. i'm not saying that i've had no problems since then. i've had alot of bad days and some good days. 2 and half years later i'm still taking it one day at a time and how things come about in their own ways.

i have more support in the past 2 years than i did for the 5 prior to that time.

and as trupthi01 said, no one will always be around to stop them at the last minute. with or without the cry. everyone has made valid points as well as presented some very good opinions and questions on the subject.

everyone is different when it's their mind when it comes to suicide. some have a chemical problem and need the medicine to help them. sometimes we can't just go "ok i'm not going to be depressed any more". sometimes we need the outside help and medication to be stable and continue to be as well.

if you have questions, feel free to message me.
