Suicide question?


Question:
I have been contemplating suicide but have come to the conclusion that I'm not brave enough to go thru with it. I'm also already seeing a counsellor for another reason. should I tell her?

Answers:
I think so - yes.

I suffer from suicidal thoughts as well - I have for quite some time... I don't think I would do it... and many times in my life I have been glad that I didn't do it. Suicide is just the mind's way of telling us we can't cope. That doesn't me you won't ever know how to cope though. Your counselor can help you. Make sure when you tell them that you say, I don't plan on it, but I keep thinking about it. This doesn't mean that they won't take it less seriously, just it will save you a trip to the ER for the night on psych watch.

But if you feel comfortable talking with them, you definitely should.

Also, if there are times when you feel you can't help but consider it there are always those of us on line that can help you. There is another answer, even in the darkest time when we don't see it.

Email me any time - there is also a good group on livejournal called fightdepression where you can always find someone to talk to. Plus journaling for me tends to help, so maybe it will for you :) And when in complete doubt there is always the Samaritan hotline, they have helped me a couple of times.

The Samaritan's 24 Hour Confidential Hotline/Listening Line has trained volunteers since 1977 to use non-judgemental, non-religious befriending skills to help callers of all ages who are hopeless, alone, suicidal or seeking information to help a family member or friend. (800) 365-4044.
Yes! Tell your counselor! You need help if you're having suicidal tendencies!
Be brave, hang in there!
Definitely tell your counselor.
Yup definitely...You have them there to help let them
you know you should. You're too brave to go through with. deep down you know that life will get better, you just have issues to face now. good luck. stay strong :)
Yes. The counsellor can help you to get over your suicidal thoughts and possibly help with the problem causing these thoughts. That is what they get paid to do.
hi zing, absolutely, you should tell her so you both can talk it out. now that you know for yourself that you wouldn't be brave enough, i hope that will end all your suicidal thoughts. never act on such a thought, it always passes, i promise you. don't hurt your loved ones that way.. they never get over it. but if you get overwhelmed..call 911 immediately. God Bless!
Yes, tell your counsellor, definitely. I have Major Depression Disorder, and even with meds, I often contend with suicidal thoughts.

Consider seeing a psychiatrist, or a therapist. If your suicidal ideation originates from stress or trauma around you, you have to talk to somebody about it. If you have suicidal ideation, but can't connect it to events around you, then you really have to talk to somebody. Take it seriously. It's worth the trouble, believe me.
definately you gotta tell her otherwise these thoughts will eat you from inside and gonna make you even worse than a dead man you gotta tell her when you will tell her she will tell you a conclusion and it will definately help thats why you got to counsellor to tell whats going on in your mind hiding something from them is like giving them their fee for nothing..
Yeah talk to your counsellor so you can discuss it. And the suicidal feeling will pass, just give it time. : ) And it's really not that your not brave enough to do it, its that your so brave you are realizing the suicidal feelings will pass. So Good Luck!
Absolutely. There's no reason not to really. She's not going to lock you up or anything. She's there to help you, and in order to help you best, you need to be honest and share what you're feeling with her. Whatever this other reason is, it's probably part to do with these feelings as well. All of your moods and problems are connected, even if in ways you don't realized right away.
I've been there before as well. I do think you should tell your counselor. S/he is there to help you and talking about your feelings will help.

I wish you the best of luck. Reach out to your counselor. S/he will help you through this and get you the help you deserve.
Death,
is far more complex than simply a realm of nonliving

the actual dying process
the transition
the time immediately after death
and the entire first year following one's death
all have unique qualities

all along the way
those who are living can serve
support
and be advocates for those who are dying
or who have entered the death realms

many people feel helpless in the face of Death
but the truth is that by understanding the many facets of Death
and dying
you will come to realize that there is a great deal left for you to do in this life
if you want...it might help her clear up some of your other problems.though sometimes some things are your own business
You should tell her/him how your feeeling. Its the first step to recovery. I know because i am on that step too. Everyone tells me things will get better, but sometimes it is hard to believe when you are feeling so low. Get the help you need and i am sure things will be ok.
Whenever you think of suicide,think of those who you love and who love you and your family, and i assure you the feeling will pass. It does for me every time.
Good Luck.
look you have so much to live for and if there is something in your life that is bothering you talk to someone you trust and get it out don't hold it in side. you only have this life make it wreath it.and not only that you have so many people who love and care about you.and you have to think about what your family would be going through if you did this.
