How Do You Help Someone That Wants To Commit Suicide? Health & Special Psychology

I would personally be there to love them, and to show them just what our friend KNdoran said. Get them the help they need and absolutely do not leave them alone for even a second. It breaks my heart that so many poor souls feel their only choice is to end their lives because this is simply not true. They have people who love them, they have people who care and they also have people and places that can help them get through what ever they're going through. No issue is ever that severe that you need to end everything. I also find it frightening that even high profile public figures are ending their own lives. Robin Williams is a good example. You'd have never have guessed that he was as unhappy as he was when they announced on the news that he had committed suicide. He was always cheerful and was always looking for ways to make even children laugh and be happy. I'm only sorry that noone got to talk to him and try to help him through his situation.

Last month I learned that a old gaming buddy of mine shot himself.
He was a veteran and had been stationed in Korea, Afghanistan and a few other locations in the middle east.

I met him after his service through his sister, an ex of mine. He joined our gaming group on Sunday nights and though his sister and I split and she left the game, he hung around.

He was socially awkward and as we sat around sharing anecdotes, his responses and anecdotes were always way off topic and really random compared to where everyone else's conversations were headed.

Because of this he often was quiet due to our jesting. When he did go off on a rant he was always very passionate.

I got the word from my former Dungeon Master about his suicide early Monday morning. He had left the game Sunday evening, his birthday, and had been his usual self. Smiling, joking around and laughing. He went home and stuck his. 45 into his mouth and ended his life.

It shocked everyone close to him but me. I distinctly remember not being surprised, which left me with many questions.

What if we had been less critical of his off subject comments and anecdotes? If he had felt like he fit in more would he have spoken to someone? Did we just further isolate him?

He had spoken about how hard it had been to adjust to civilian life after his service. Were these comments warning signs we didn't pick up on?

Was there anything we could have done?
So sad, such a waste.

That is really unfortunate and my sympathies to you. I have never served in the military but from seeing others who have it looks like its not for everyone. Some experiences differ depending on what you have seen or been through but for sure all our veterans deserve help when they need it.
