My friend wants to commit suicide

[Armygeddon Bomb]

Well thats just stupid to die just to see if there is afterlife or God. He can wait for that until he naturally dies. Until then, he has many things he can do in his life, instead of wasting it. He might be wrong (although no one knows for sure).

 

[pikachun00b7]

His brother stopped him I believe, I told his brother to tell his parents what he was going to do and I think he did. Hopefully that means problem solved. I'll post more later.

You just save a life! No, better. We saved a life through you.
That means I stopped a death. I am super-noob! Bow down to my presence you Halo gamers, and Ness main scum!

In all seriousness, I am glad your friend is OK. What would his parents think! I am sure they will handle physiological(You spelled that wrong U. Kenny. ) help. I would suggest talking to him or his brother about the situation.

I always hated people who demanded that others needed psycho-therapy. Lets drug him up while we're at it. Turn his brain into mush to prevent him from doing anything 'wrong'.

Do you think suicide is "right! " People must think what I want them to think. If that doesn't happen chaos will emerge from Japan and spread to the rest of Africa.

The desire to commit suicide is not normal at all.Cause I dunno if you know this but unless there's something wrong with your adrenaline levels and some other chemical substances naturally being in your body and your brain a human is incapable of selfdestruction. If that problem occurs these phycho-therapists will do their jobs trying with lots of different techniques both vocal and with "drugs" to help balance the person from having suicidal desires.
I'm graduating on the medical field so I know some stuff.

Now to help the guy in need you should do your best to support him both mentally(talk about what's troubling him and generally soothe his mind) and physically (take him to a pub or wherever you guys enjoy spending time) and hope for his "recovery".
I hope I helped mate I'm rooting for you and your friend! *Thumbs up*

You mean endocrine system? No, my argument was against psychiatrists, not against getting help to find a better alternative to suicide.

And I will state this a second time, I personally have no qualms against suicide.

 

[Tron V2.0]

You know, no matter how trendy it is to make jokes at the expense of someone who's about to commit suicide, I personally fail to see the appeal.

If you want to be edgy, do it somewhere else, please. It's not impressing anyone here, especially when you're the tenth person to do it in this topic.

??? Are you sying that I was trying to be funny? Because I wasn't. I merely wanted to know since this is a topic about someone wanting to die on monday and it is monday. Since it was monday I asked but I simply did not phrase it right. It might be understandable that you perceived it as I wanting him to die, but in fact my curiosity overwhelmed me and I accidentally said "yet" when I shouldn't have said it at all.

I edited the phrase so it sounds like i was meaningful in my question instead of being a clown.

It was directed at you, because I thought you were trying to be funny, and at all the other people who were trying to be edgy by making a joke of the whole thing.

And tell his ****ing parents. If they already know, it's no big deal. If his brother hasn't told them, they can decide what to do about it.

Think about it, are you more worried about your friend disliking you for a little while because you stopped his attempted suicide, or are you more worried about the possibility of him dying? Because the way you keep putting this off, it sure seems like you need to reevaluate your priorities.

He's obviously doing it for attention anyway, and if you tell his parents he'll get it, which is what he was aiming for in the first place. If he doesn't get attention, or gets the wrong kind of attention, you can't be sure what he'll do.

You can bash them all you want, but the fact is, drugs do help. Having a medication-free body doesn't do much good if, a) you're dead, or b) you are constantly depressed and surveilled to ensure you do not hurt yourself or commit suicide.

 

[Bailey]

Volrec is still an @sshat for posting that.

 

[Gamer4Fire]

I wasn't bashing him. I was asking if he meant the endocrine system or something else/more.

And in my experience, drugs do more to hurt individuals than help. I've had several medicated friends who felt like zombies when they were on their meds and didn't like it. They didn't feel alive until they were off. Even if they were hyperactive, manic depressive or half insane without the drugs, they were able to better deal with it when they weren't bonzed off their rocks. It wasn't until they had control of their minds that they were able to take care of the problem.

Which has brought me to the conclusion that psychotropic drugs should be used for recreational purposes only and never as a medication for a problem.

Well, I thought "suicide" and that brought me the Maddox article, so I just had to, really.

 

[OmegaXXII]

that's a terrible thing to hear, not valuing life if indeed he is serious then you should tell someone you know like an adult or call the cops, but seriously do so

 

[Mediocre]

Well, I thought "suicide" and that brought me the Maddox article, so I just had to, really.

That's exactly why he called you an asshat in the first place.

In this sort of situation, an asshat would feel the irresistible urge to post a link to some idiotic article mocking suicide and encouraging people to commit it. A non-asshat might feel the same urge, but would resist it because they realized that the posting the link to the idiotic article would be really stupid.

 

[Volrec]

True. I am an asshat.

Ever seen the movie, Garden State?

 

[Ensee]

I think he might finally be deciding not to go through with this, I've been talking to him almost all day. So things are looking good for now .

Oh that's nice! Please keep us updated no matter what!!

 

[Ensee]

Well now it seems everything is back to normal, he's no longer saying he's going to commit suicide, and we're talking regularly and he acts like he used to every day. So yeah all is going well.

 

[TakDragon7]

That's really good to hear. I get happy when ppl get over it.

 

[GoldShadow]

Be careful though, clinical depression is prone to relapse without continued therapy and/or medication.

 

[SiD]

Maybe he wasn't depressed at all. Maybe he was just bored.

 

[Deathcarter]

Personally, I wish he did kill himself. The less people around to kill our planet the better.

 

[Skywalker]

You should still inform his parents in some way (assuming you haven't already). I had made several "casual" attempts at suicide last year, and as it turned out, I was diagnosed with clinical depression.

Deathcarter, that was cruel.

 

[Mr.GAW]

Deathcarter, why do you assume somebody who is going to commit suicide is somebody who would "kill our planet"?

 

[Pit 42]

Personally, I wish he did kill himself. The less people around to kill our planet the better.

Who said he was going to kill our planet? Watch it, deathcarter...

Anyway, I'm glad he's not doing it for now, but there are many cases where people say they're not doing it just because they are relaxed and confident and then they do it. Make sure he sees someone, preferrably a psychiatrist.

 

[Andromeda]

I haven't really read this thread through, but it looks like it's ok again, wich is good. But keep an eye on him.

And what kind of comment is that, Deathcarter? What if someone said that about you? You clearly underestimate the worth of every single persons right to live.

 

[Deathcarter]

I was being stupid with that "kill our planet" phrase. All I want to say is if someone truly wants to kill themselves (which in this situation is hard to tell from what Ensee says) and do it by their own hand, I don't want to be selfish and deprive them from a release from their lives (even if they most likely exagerate how bad their lives are) and happiness.

Personally, even if the reasons a person wants to kill themselves in no way justify suicide, I think the planet will have a better chance of survival if there are less humans to mess it up (regardless of the fact that too few people actually kill themselves to make any difference).

Andromeda, they have a right to life and if they want to live, then I encourage it, but you also forget that suicidal people have a right to death and I don't think anyone should get in the way of their choice.

Also, even if the government says a person does not have a right to death, they can't do much unless your a danger to society especially consiodering you don't get jail time for suicidal thoughts or attempted suicide.

It's hard for someone who is clinically depressed to think clearly and say that they "truly want to kill themselves".

 

[Lightshade]

Sucks for him. I read the title only, this sounds like "An Hero".
For those of you who've never heard of "An Hero" just forget this post.

Things never change, huh.

There are no justifications for suicide if the primary causes are from emotion hardships. Think it through for a moment. Many cases of depression are in fact caused by chemical balances in the brain and are thereafter subdued by medication. If the planned suicide is because of traumatic experience, the person can get help from family/friends/psychologist etc.

 

[GAwes]

Lol, you guys go to a video game forum for help with issues as important as suicide

meds help. a lot. if your friends were zombified, then they were probably being over medicated or were on the wrong medication. there's a difference.

lol. deathcarter, why don't you go kill yourself then if you're such a die hard environmentalist? also, i litter and throw oil into the ocean. a lot of oil.

our savior marth: awesome sig, great job!

I hope your friend continues mental stability.

STFU

Thats because we have no lives.

 

[Deathcarter]

deathcarter, why don't you go kill yourself then if you're such a die hard environmentalist?

I hope this is the first time you posted in this thread. If you tell someone who is not evil enough to murder to kill themselves, you in a way support suicide and prove that you are in no way better than me. I may want a person to kill themself, but I will never influence his decision by adding my opinion into his thoughts.

His point is that you were being stupid and hypocritical. He's not seriously suggesting you kill yourself.

 

[Crimson King]

This topic proves the Pool Room isn't mature enough to handle serious topics.

Best of luck with your friend, but if you don't call the cops, his parents, or SOMEONE, you just as soon kill him because you aren't helping.

 

[KevinM]

Yea , seriously folks, this was a serious topic and a lot of you are absolutely ********. Its not a joke, you can't control the urges for suicide if your clinically depressed, and if you joke about it you need to have psychological help. Trust me that was the greatest thing that could have been done was when i was sent to psyche, it helped me out extremely.

 

[Vampirekain]

Immature opinions will always be everywhere! Just ignore them and speak for serious matters over them.
I believe calling the cops will mostly have a negative turnout but talking to his parents could be one of the best things to do(Depends on the guys parents). You're telling us that he's back at his feet now and all is good which is actually very good.
However please anwser me this...Was he pessimistic in the past or something that could justify his current feelings or just out of the blue with something bad that happened in his life decided to end it?
