What causes suicidal thoughts?

[princess.tyche]

Depression, alone, bullied, feels like no one care, unable to communicate (no friends to talk to), raped, or maybe when he / she tried to get some help, the one he/she was hoping for didn't help at all. We can't change someone's mind, but we can prevent it before it's too late. Just pay attention to your friend that act different than usual. And if they want to talk, make sure that you pay attention well.

Why do you think people have suicidal thoughts? Is it reasonable to result to potentially killing oneself to be able to remove the pain a person is suffering from? What are your thoughts about this matter, is it acceptable or not? Why does a person result to thinking of suicide? How can you help the person to change His/Her mind?

Anger, hatred and grief are the reasons why people thought of suicidal things. Overthinking and focusing on what they feel usually leads to to negative thoughts that might also lead them to suicidal thoughts. To avoid such feelings and thoughts, we must try to stay happy and look at the positive and brighter side of life.

After reading so many posts here I might add that the word "depression" is used so much as if it would be the answer to everything.
There are external factors in the lives of each of us that make us feel bad. But we resist.
Once we stop resisting and stop believing in ourselves, the hope dies and there is no reason to live to be found.
But there are so many little things that make people that notice them happy.
I know I may sound like a self-help book, but I was really into this topic and read multiple real studies on happiness and depression, desire to live and suicidal thoughts.
One of the recurring reasons was that one wants to have something and can't.
They say "When you desire to change the world, you need to start with yourself", but if you won't you'll be very dependent on the external factors that sometimes make you feel good and sometimes make you wanna die.
There must be an internal core which does not depend on opinions of others.

It is an unexpected and abrupt downturn of event. When the unexpected happens it causes a lot of depression which they believe that no one or nothing can solve it. They they result to death instead seeing themselves running down.

How To Help the person change their mind about suicide : • Think of the people or things you love and how they would feel of you weren't there, living or non living.
• Think of things you will achieve if you were to be alive.
• Don't let issues depress you because depression, rejection,  shame, heartbreak, failure can make one commit suicide.
• Go on a vacation if necessary, have fun and forget every problem.

Suicidal thoughts usually appear when a person has difficulties in his or her life. I understand that sometimes people have problems that they think are not unsolvable. But please, just look around, take another look at your life! It is not as miserable as you think it is. Just stand up and go on! Everyone has problems in their life. But some think it is the end of the world and end their life with suicide. Just remember, that every problem is solvable! Don't give up!
I have a friend that once wanted to commit suicide. I was very scared because for the first time I came across a situation like this. But I talked to her and helped her see that there are a lot of good things in her life! And told her that I will always be close and always help her. So you just have to show your support to these people and help them move on.

I think that the main reason why people can start thinking about suicide is because they feel alone. They have the feeling that they are not understood by their close friends or family; or simply they don't have friends or family and are isolated from society.

Yes, "no man is an island" just like what others said. We should helped those people who suffers from depression by making them feel that they are not alone that they can still rely on us in a tough situation. Sometimes we don't know that a person has a depression and suicidal thoughts and sometimes it's too late for us to know it.

It's the absence of hope. a person who think of suicide may no longer want to fight for his life. he might be tired for all the evil things that happen to him/her. Many people think death is the end of all their sufferings but the truth is they just passed it in other people especially their family or anyone who loves them.

According to my thinking people who have these traits are usually the people who get the problem and no one who gives solutions, such as romance, financial problems, sometimes there is a matter of fear with the enemy.
All these problems are potentially plunge into suicide.
This problem can be eliminated by giving positive inputs and such as giving input on how to solve the problem, as well as explaining the feelings of the people in their lives,
Hopefully my explanation useful ..

they are called intrusive thought and is an unwelcome involuntary thought, image, or unpleasant idea that may become an obsession, is upsetting or distressing, and can feel difficult to manage or eliminate. When such thoughts are associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), and sometimes attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, the thoughts may become paralyzing, anxiety-provoking, or persistent. Intrusive thoughts may also be associated with episodic memory, unwanted worries or memories from OCD, posttraumatic stress disorder, other anxiety disorders, eating disorders, or psychosis. Intrusive thoughts, urges, and images are of inappropriate things at inappropriate times, and generally have aggressive, sexual, or blasphemous themes.

depression, mostly

Depression is indeed the main reason for having such a mental state you can easily take your life away. Depression does not only caused suicidal thoughts but it can also slows down your body which eventually you will get a lot of sickness (like heart problem) that can kill you in the long process.

That is the reason why it is very important to always talk to your family members or friends to know if they are having such emotions. Now on the part when you are having depression it is very important as well if you open up your problem. Don't be shy or too afraid to do that because that might save your life.

Suicidal thoughts are issue of concern that certainly needs a serious attention. Many would say that it's only created by minds and it is purely a product of low self-esteem, but I think different. I think that it is way beyond that. Suicidal thoughts come from deep wounds of painful sorrow, worst experiences, traumatizing happenings, rejection, loneliness, and many more. Its causes are more likely a mixture of not only of different negative emotions but also of positive ones. I think that people who have suicidal thoughts been through a lot of emotional highs and lows that meke them feel extremely tired of what is happening. I think that they also experience positive things that is why they know how negative thungs affect them since they have a basis of cpmparison that results to suicidal thoughts.

Nothing sets more people on the path of sucide than depression and loneliness

I think being mentally abused because they are being bullied is one of the many reasons why some people think of committing suicide. Bullying is very common to the young people and they take it seriously. These people get depressed and most of them are just too scared to share their feelings to other people like family or friends, so because of that, they also feel that they are alone in this world. And since they are very vulnerable during this time, so they just think that ending their lives would solve all their problems.

The environment, society, friends, family and even yourself. If you keep on downgrading yourself, feeling pity for yourself, saying bad things about, there is a big effect for you. It triggers your other side, the side wherein you cannot control yourself for being sad, being alone, anxious with everything you. Even by looking at a depress person can have an impact to his/her mind. A simply look, rise of tone, facial expression and even body language can change the mood of an anxious person. It can either make him/her more anxious or less.

Suicidal thoughts are common, and many people experience them when they are undergoing stress or experiencing depression. In most cases, these are temporary and can be treated, but in some cases, they place the individual at risk for attempting or completing suicide.

Most people who experience suicidal ideation do not carry it through, although some may make suicide attempts.

I know people tend to do it when they loss something very valuable,
It can be gambling addiction, love addiction, work addiction, study addiction,
Gambler, breakup couple, hard worker, student are among the top suicidal, some extreme case, suicide bomber could be induced by drugs,
Losing something too high on value and become poor could be the only acceptable reason to me, when market crashes, many people want to kill them self.
Poverty kills!

Focusing on the problem makes you more problematic.

There are a lot of problems that we may encounter but if we focus on the problem, we will be stock in it. To the point that people cant do anything, it is like they are prisoner on their own problem. People think that their life has no purpose and that is the time when people think about death. YEAH! it is hard to forget the problem, YES! We need to face it. But don't let it manage your life, you still have your own life. Don't let your problem make you a prisoner.

If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, always remember you can defeat that problem! You stumble and fall but you can stand up and fight. Always believe in yourself.

The very 1st Reason why people commit suicide is..that they have no intimate relationship with GOD! because if they did, they will be afraid of taking their own lives, because they know that its a SIN!
2nd reason is Anxiety ... if you don't have constant communication with the Lord, you mind will be filled with worldly things, disappointments, and then eventually you will feel emptiness in your heart and not having purpose in life!
3rd Reason is Depression! If you don't have God in your Life you feel that struggles and challenges in Life are cannot be resolve and you will be staying down! You will feel that you are unwanted, unloved and all the negativity will comes in your mind! that will lead you to commit suicide!

Why do you think people have suicidal thoughts?

Suicide thoughts may be caused by mental insufficiency, depression, hormonal issues, economic crisis, relationship problems, substance misuse, ignorance and existential crisis, or any crisis the individual defines as hopeless.

Consulting with a qualified counsellor or spiritual guardian, avoiding being alone, disposing of potentially dangerous weapons/substances, socialising more, improving economic conditions, and addressing the root causes of the case may be largely helpful.

I think the best way to sum it up is that it is usually the belief that it would be better not to live anymore than continue living in the future one foresees. This could be a result of many different factors. Loneliness is definitely one of them, along with depression. Sometimes people commit suicide after a big failure or loss. For example, an investor could lose most of his money or go into massive debt. In his mind, he may imagine a future basically as a slave where he will just work to pay off his debts. He may think it's better to die than to live as a slave. Sometimes when somebody loses their closest friend, such as a spouse, they may think it's better not to live at all than to live without that person. In my opinion, none of these reasons are actually good ones. If you have suicidal thoughts, please reach out for help.
