Do You Want
to Commit Suicide?.
When you feel depressed it’s hard to image what it feels like to
be happy or fulfilled. Some people feel depressed and want to
commit suicide because of a particular incident, such as a breakup
or death in the family. Other people commit suicide because they
chose to end their life instead of believing they have a purpose
for being on earth and something valuable to contribute.
When you feel so depressed you want to commit suicide, it’s hard
to see the big picture and understand your part in the world. One
person who tried to commit suicide wrote about his near-death
experience and how he drifted into a tunnel and saw a vision of a
giant puzzle that was being solved.
The young man who wanted to commit suicide was shown that each
piece of the puzzle was rearranged by the action of anyone on
earth, and he understood his place in the vast universe.
If you want to commit suicide, remember the feelings of depression
are fleeting. No one has ever been depressed forever. You can
overcome the temptation to commit suicide by finding a
constructive way to relieve your pain and by building an emotional
support system.
People who want to commit suicide are not bad people. They are not
flawed, crazy or weak just because they want to commit suicide.
They just can’t cope for the moment.
Just as everyone has a different threshold for physical pain,
people have varying abilities to handle emotional pain. You may be
less able to cope with pain and have a desire to commit suicide
during certain times of the menstrual cycle if you are a woman.
Some people with seasonal affective disorder (SAD) want to commit
suicide during the winter months. Make sure you spend time in the
sunshine everyday because you are less likely to want to commit
suicide if you have exposure to bright light.
Some suicide experts explain suicide by saying the desire to
commit suicide happens when pain exceeds pain-coping resources.
If you want to commit suicide, get help immediately by calling a
suicide prevention line such as 1-800-SUICIDE (784-2433).
If you have a loved one who has expressed a desire to commit
suicide, check him or her into a local hospital emergency room,
even if you don’t have insurance. It’s best not to take chances
when a person has a serious plan to commit suicide.
If you are thinking about killing yourself, remember you can
choose not to commit suicide. Take baby steps toward fighting the
desire to commit suicide.
First, remove weapons and sharp objects from your home. If you
need to take medication for any reason, ask a friend or loved one
to dole out the medications as needed so you can’t take an entire
bottle when you feel tempted to commit suicide.
Next, avoid alcohol and other drugs and avoid situations, people
and places that might tempt you to take drugs or alcohol. Having
an altered state of mind may only intensify your desire to commit
suicide.
Another small step you can take to overcome the desire to commit
suicide is to eat a well-balanced diet and exercise. Get plenty of
sleep and take care of your health. Meditate, listen to classical
music, go shopping, play with a pet and do things to get your mind
off the desire to commit suicide.
If you are the kind of person who carries a personal organizer and
makes a daily schedule – and you want to commit suicide – shake up
your routine. If you are the kind of person who never sets goals
or makes lists, try writing a schedule and sticking to it for the
day if you want to commit suicide.
Even if you don’t feel social, you should not remain isolated when
you feel like you want to commit suicide.
Remember, you are not your feelings. Just because you feel like
you want to commit suicide, does not mean you are going to act on
that desire.
Realize your loved ones or friends may not know how to handle it
when you tell them you want to commit suicide. You can find people
who will not judge you. Strong people ask for help when they need
it.
Also, you may want to check your phone book or call information
for crisis or suicide hotlines, county mental health centers,
hospital mental health clinics, community crisis centers. Or
simply call 911 and ask for help. Tell them you want to commit
suicide.
The strongest risk factor for suicide is depression and the vast
majority of people who attempt suicide are depressed. After
getting past the immediate risk of suicide, it is crucial to find
effective help for depression.

While depression is still not completely understood, scientists
believe that those who suffer have an imbalance of the brain's
neurotransmitters. When brain chemistry is imbalanced external and
internal stimulation are often overwhelming, noxious and
uncomfortable. Deprex provides the necessary dietary precursors
that complement the body's ability to bring neurotransmitters back
into balance. Deprex aids in the release of serotonin, which plays
an important part in mood regulation within the hypothalamus and
the entire limbic system (the emotional center of the brain).
