I recomennd using the hobbies your friend has to distract him. Really, distraction and giving him a bit more time is all you can do. I don't think there's any way he can "recover" if he's decided he wants to die- a psychiatric ward is only going to make things worse.
I guess you have to weigh his happiness and freedom vs his life and decide which you value more. An unavoidable choice, sadly. GL

i do alot, but then i think dying wouldn't help. i don't have advice, i geuss you could talk it out, just find someone close to you.
Sure. A person in my family died recently and I have contemplated it after that.
But I realize that would bring even more pain to my family and I can't let them down now.

Yeah, I was pretty depressed for a small chunk of grade school and high school. At one point I was pressing down on my skin (down the block, not across the road) with a large knife but I chickened out. No really, I was too much of a coward to take the coward's way out.
Anyway I have since changed my views on life and no longer put myself in a position to be disappointed. I haven't thought seriously of suicide since.

Thought about it, thought REALLY hard about it, got really drunk and almost went for it. *shrugs* I dunno, seems to me anybody who's led a life worth hearing about has at least gotten close to the brink once or twice, maybe even tried it.
As for advice? I'm reminded of Titus' being berated by his dad when he's discovered with the nooses around his neck, suicidal over a girl not giving a natter. His father simply leaves him there with the reply "Go ahead and do it, wussy. Then, when you're dead and buried (she) can go visit the graveyard with her new boyfriend and do it on your grave." Motivational words, there...

Thought about it.
Got the "equipment" out for it and everything, just to see how far I would go before I chickened out, then I thought about why people kill themselves and told myself I should man up because my problems were not as insane as others.
Haven't tought about it since.

Life is like a movie, if you sat through the first half and it completely sucked, it's probably not gonna get really good right at the end.
Ask someone who's ever seriously thought about it and backed away, then tell me it's an easy way out. I'd say it takes just as much guts to kill yourself as anyone else.DeadSp8s said:I've thought about how it's an easy way out. I've never considered it seriously.
Why? Because of my mother and father. In my case, my parents are divorced, but they love me and have treated me amazingly well. I couldn't do that to them. To have them discover my dead body or have to clean up after my suicide, I could NEVER EVER do that to them.
Plus, suicide is for pussies. It's called the easy way out for a reason. My advice to anyone considering suicide would be to live your life one day at a time. Everyone has problems, we all need to find ways to deal with them and just muster the courage to keep going. If you need medication, talk with a doctor. Depression and anxiety are very common these days.
Try some new hobbies. Get out there and people watch if you have no money. Go to a park, appreciate the good things in life
Put your problems and your life in perspective, it's never that bad.
I never have, I have thought about going around and killing a bunch of people that I really hate but from what I've read here thats not that unusual.
I did unfortunatley know someone who killed himself, he was my little brothers best friend, was baisically another brother to me, and he was only 15. He was a brilliant kid with a lot of friends and in a few years would have been able to hand pick his school, I still have no idea why he did it. That was a bad period in all our lives.
I don't really have any advice for people who are thinking about it or who know someone who is thinking about it besides just always be there for your friends and try and remind them that life always turns around.

Held a loaded gun to my head once back in 2007. Sadly I didn't pull the trigger. I still think of it from time to time.
this is quite a story,i dont know how i would rate it, but its true, and it happened to me.
well... before the festivities of xmas and such, i began feeling really bummed, it was my birthday (december 23) and just 4 people appeared at my house even thought i had invited nearly 20 or more, i had cooked a wonderful meal that went to waste, i bought the best bottles of scotch, tequila, beer, anything anyone would have wanted was there... but only 4 people came, the girl who i wanted to spend the evening with didnt even show up and i had an argument with her over the phone apparently, having sex with her (because she asked), being there for her, never demanding anything always trying to make her feel better about the breakup she had over a year ago makes me "just her friend", i got a divorce over 1 year ago from a girl who i still feel strongly for (she was the one who ended it, no big deal, she was just not ready to be marryed and wanted to keep being single) and after my "girl who is a friend" told me all those things i kind of felt so alone, my actuall friends from all my life didnt helped at all, i fought with one of them (drunk) about a stupid thing that i dont even remember and to top it all, my workload when i got back from vacation had tripled
funny thing is, i have ALWAYS thougth that suicide is for "pussies", the "easy way out", and all those things a healty person actually thinks, but a week ago i was driving back from work, thinking about all my troubles and the things that had always bugged me, the stress of having to keep fighting with my ex about the child, not so much fighting but me bowing at her request because the laws here in MX actually give her a really unfair advantage over who gets to keep the kid, she is still studying and i work for crist sake, and if she so much as "demmands" something and i dont give it to her she can take the kid away from me, wereas i have always fought of a shared time, because i do believe my son needs his mother, and a sudden flash of light... i actually saw it purple came to my mind -i should kill my self, that way, the kid goes to his mom, she collects the life insurance and lives confortably, i wouldnt need to apologize to anyone about being a jerk in my birthday that no one cared about, everyone would mourn me and forget about me in a month or so, that way i would get out of the way of everyones lives, they would never need to hear me again saying "i miss my wife" or "i feel alone", and i would stop feeling all this suffering that keeps burning inside-
at that momment it made sense, in a split seccond, all my troubles were fixed, no more caring about anyone or anyone caring about me, my kid would be happier in a single house, my friends would remember me some times while drinking "remember about Vinny? he was an idiot!"
and then it hit me, i had seriously considered killing my self, i started to cry, all the way home, i know it was just one thought, one split seccond, one insignificant momment when i yielded and thought "i cant take this any more" but it was enough, i had seriously considered killing my self.
and it hurt, it really hurt in my pride to aknowledge that i had lost the will, the power to contiue, me, the guy who has always being there for others to hold on, the brick wall that always repelled anything anyone threw in its way, that guy who is always smiling or making a joke, who enjoys his video games throuroughly and has conquered most of them, who had the wish of seing his son grow to a good man, the desire of visiting Japan and if possible move there, the casanova who in his best days was able to get any girl... i couldnt believe myself me at my 25 years was thinking about killing himself.
i got home and went to bed, the night felt so cold and lonely that day.
i spend the next week alone, just going to work and back, seing my kid on the weekend, i´m kind of ashamed to admit i didnt wanted to be with him, i didnt wanted to be with anyone.
today is monday, exactly a week ago i had that dreadfull feeling, i kind of cheated because all that time i spend at home i was playing Assasins creed brotherhood, i just finished it yesterday and i felt happy, i was also building on the escapecraft.com server (minecraft), and my creations made me feel happy, and little by little i began filling that void with happines, and today i had the will to call at least one of my friends and invite him over, today was a really good day, we spend the evening playing "Sports" in the PS Move (we had a really close match of disc golf)
so yeah, if something keeps me going when all else fails, its "Video games" lets see what those "VIDEOGAMES ARE EVIL!!! THEY BRAINWASH AND MAKE PEOPLE KILL EACH OTHER" have to say about this stupid little story, if i ever considered my self a gamer is because of this, VG are a big part of my life, they are not my life, but they can help me clear my thoughts and look at things in a different light, every "mission" i completed in AC:B made me a little happier, and lifted that "purple" fog that had nested in my head allowing me to think more clearly and objectively.
i dont know if it makes sense, i dont know if its the best way of doing things, but thats how it happened to me, i know people might think its not that bad, or think my problems are small, but its not the problem what matters, its how it affect us, and i know that while some guys wouldnt want to have a kid, i have wanted to have a kid since i was 15, and the simple thought of losing him is enough to make me depressed.
in this case, my problems ARE small (or so i feel looking at them from waaay over here), but they all came toguether in one of the worst times of the year to haunt me.

Yes, recently in fact, it got so bad over the last few weeks that I am now on antidepressants because of it, I'm not entirely sure why I didn't go through with it, but the pills are definitely helping, so I think mine was just a chemical imbalance that I feel that I've had all my life.
My advice is - you can leave any time you want. But you can't come back. So you might as well stick it out for as long as you can. You're going to die anyway. What's the rush?SAT4NSLILHELPER said:

I don't get along with my step family (Dad's side), one particularly nasty, long holiday I just stopped drinking anything for 3 days. I didn't die so I had a glass of juice and just sort of withdrew.
