Not sure where I should post this thread. It could be suicide discussion, recovery or off-topic. If you want it to have in recovery the mods can probably do this. I don't care.
It is more or less a discussion about suicide that is why I finally posted it here. Someone told me every suicide related topic was already discussed in this forum. I tried to find something here it is.
Maybe you know someone close who has ctb. Or you can speak from your own experience when talking about these behaviors.
I think one myth is clearly busted. There is this stupid myth people who talk about it would not do it. The truth is: People who commit suicide really do often talk about it beforehand.
Openly talking about suicide can be one sign. When I was really severely suicidal I talked about it 24/7. But there are also people who keep quiet about it.
People tend to isolate themselves. Maybe they don't want to damage other people with their suicide. This is probably something I won't do. Oh I did that with some professionals but I could not leave my best friends.
There is one observation. I read about it. People who are really on the edge of suicide and who are convinced about it they sometimes feel relieved shortly before doing it.
It is said that the forth and back in their mind is then over. But it is obvious the back and forth before that final decision therefore is even more torturous and brutal because it is the final decision.
I also can relate only partly. This does not fully resemble my experience. When I did a little bit partial and stood at the top of a high building I just got even more depressed by it. I cried a lot and felt really desperate. Approaching suicide made me extremely depressed. It was a huge pain.
I read about something else. People give away their money or possessions. This is also something I only know only partly. When I was extremely depressed I sold A LOT of my possessions. Really much stuff. But I would never give it away without getting money for it. I try to avoid to make the situation even more hopeless.
Do you know more of those sings that someone is on the edge of ctb? Maybe you can speak about your own experience or as I said maybe you have lost someone to suicide?
