re: How do you deal with suicidal depression

I've never dealt with suicidal depression, but I have dealt with some pretty bad depression multiple times.
I think the 1 thing that you can take a hold of, is that the only way things can get worse is if you make them worse. Understand the fact that this is as bad as it gets and as time goes on, things will get better as long as you don't do anything to make things worse.
Time heals everything.
Now, getting back to a time where you are happy and life is good may take longer, but I guarantee you life will suck a little less with every passing day.

Take comfort in knowing this incarnation is almost over and hopefully I will escape this prison called the body. If not, I hope I have gathered enough knowledge to carry over into my next recycled existence and will fair better. I often wish I could go into a deep sleep as I find it more enjoyable than a wage/tax slave life. Remember the basement seen in Inception with all of the people in mass dream states? That would be my perfect vacation. Fun times...

Man up and realize this world isn’t about just you. Suicide is the most selfish and weakest move a human being can make.

You get over it. I was in a bad place when I was in the 21-22 age. I grew up and go over it and I’ve never been happier 7 years later

Put my shoes on the next day, and go.

Yes the truth is to hard for people to handle.....appropriate in this thread don’t you think.

You’re a child or a very dumbass old guy. You’re an idiot if you think that has any impact on someone contemplating taking their life. You can be real as you want but you offered no value in the discussion. No value at all so congrats on that. You’re such a winner.

Selfishly, you are one of my favorite posters. That being said, I hope you’re asking for a friend.
Anyway, professional help is the only option. If you are as passionate in life as you are on this board then get help. 3:16

Suicide is a final solution to a temporary problem. Get Help Brother.

Put your plan on hold!!!!!
Go to a Doctor ASAP.
Get on an Anti-Depresent.
I take 40 mg of Celexa a day.
I know the pain of depression.That pain is real.It's more real than anything.
As someone that's come out the other side of what your dealing with,I've just got to say DON'T...
Life is tough.Under the best of conditions.
Life is a journey.You've got to somehow,put this buden,guilt,whatever,on your back and keep going.
Metaphorically,carry your Cross.
God Bless you.

Hoping this helps you...
The first thing you want to ask those who are experiencing depression is, “What is bothering you?”
If they actually give you plausible reasons for depression, you are usually dealing with someone who has experienced more than he can handle...if they DON'T KNOW what is bothering them, or the reasons they give for depression are not plausible, it is often a chemical imbalance.
In 2008,I had a traumatic head injury. I had blood coming from my ears, not bleeding out, but just present in both ears. I had no idea where I was when they picked me up off the volleyball court. I didnt remember driving there, didnt remember the games we had played...and eventually I got in my truck and drove home.
That night, past midnight actually, my heart rate and blood pressure soared. I went to the ER,. Blood pressure was 227/129 . They gave me Clonodine and potassium. After a few hours, I was home again and was ok.
A week later, began experiencing the most horrible headaches...I was unable to work, my legs were weakened.. and in time, I fell into depression.
These were darkest days of my life...despair, always thinking the worst possible case scenario, starving, no money, no job, and for 14 months, I was pretty much a zombie.
I did take Lexapro for 5 months but I was no longer the same person. I got off of it, against the advice of my doctor. There were withdrawal symptoms (that medicine helps people, it just wasnt for me).
One day, some people came over to my house, church folks, interpreters (I am a Deaf evangelist, church planter, and the ministry I planted, I had to have interpreters to voice interpret what I signed, since there were a few Hearing people in my church) and these people were standing around my bed talking.
I was really in the gutter by this time, but I looked up at them, and they were smiling, laughing...and I asked one of them, “Is everything ok? I mean... for me?”
“Yes, we are with you. We have your back. No matter how long it takes, we are with you.
I asked, “But..is everything OK?”
The lady said, “Yes.”
Right then and there,I realized that my mind was manufacturing a false sense of reality, a distorted reality, and that I had to guard my thoughts...someone else above mentioned this... be careful what you allow your mind to dwell on.
I started getting up at 4AM, going to Morning Call and getting coffee and beignets, studying my Bible, and staying gone until 9PM or so, every day, and each day, I got better and better.
Dont lay around dwelling on your problems, get up and go do something..and it will get easier and easier every day.
You will recognize a point in your thought process, a door, that you must never again open, it leads to a path of negativity.. PUSH IT AWAY.
Inactivity fosters depression. Get up and do something, get your old self back, your old life, stay busy.
Manage your mindset. Dont dwell on problems. Think of others instead of yourself.
You can't care too much about everything.. resolve to enjoy life, regardless of all the trimmings, enjoy yourself, your problems are temporary.
Other posters have said “Talk to others'. YES, definitely. They may not tell you what you want to hear, but they will tell you what they think is best.
Dont trust your own thoughts and feelings so stubbornly..Look at others and see their happiness..that is for you too, and you can be happy, but you cant allow yourself to always be so concerned and always be so self-critical and self-focused.
You will eventually figure out that depression is often a battle between the mind and soul.
Care for the soul, and dont trust the mind. Take the words of family and friends over your own thoughts.
Dont look too far back into the past, and dont look too far forward into the future..
God bless you.

Yeah, suicide is so “weak” yet you can’t go through with it. I think reaction like this shows how people are uncomfortable and scared of the idea suicide. Suicide=statement of a person destroying his consciousness forever. It is hard to understand for some people especially when they’ve never been depressed.
I’ve had two people in my life who went through with it. I thought about it for quit a bit and played the scenario in my head. I realized that the moment leading up to it is the loneliest a person can feel. Even writing about this brings me tears.
I don’t know Nguyener. I see him post in the politics forum mostly and with passion. All I can say is that time has a way of healing. Maybe give that a chance.
