Some people are personally more or less vulnerable to particular stressful events, and some people may find certain events stressful which others would see as a positive experience. Furthermore, individuals deal with stress and trauma in different ways. Significant changes, losses, and perceived abuse are all risk-factors. .
Before committing suicide a person gives off a few warning signs. This may be some sort of cry for help. Some of the symptoms are talking or joking about suicide, statements about being reunited with a dead loved one, statements about helplessness, hopelessness, or worthlessness, preoccupation with death, writing letters or leaving notes referring the "the end," suddenly happier or calmer, lost of interest in once cherished things, giving possessions away, self-destructive behavior, and risk-taking behavior. However, these signs do not always mean that person is going to resort to suicide. .
There are cures for depression just like there are cures for most diseases. There are many different anti-depressant pills. It is a long road to recovery, but it can happen. First a person must seek consoling and be properly diagnosed. Then they must find an anti-depressant that will work for them. It can take many years to over come depression. But with enough consoling and medicine a person will eventually be able to feel happiness as a "normal" person does.
There are many misconceptions about suicide. If someone talks about suicide it does not mean they are not going to do it. Just because someone tried to kill themselves does not make them crazy or insane. If a person is determined to kill themselves they can be stopped. Anything that has to do with suicide should not be taken lightly or ignored.
Suicide is often extremely traumatic for the friends and family members that remain (the survivors), even though people that attempt suicide often think that no-one cares about them.
