There is a difference between being blackmailed and being there for someone in need.

Added! I do agree with sarky.

There is a vast difference between those that use it to control and abuse us only and those that really do need our help.

Telling the difference is very easy once you've been controlled by any person claiming to want to commit suicide just to keep you in your place and has an investment in the end and one that claims to want to commit suicide and has nothing to gain from it in your life.

I'm not so sure that I agree with this. It can drive a person insane trying to figure out if someone they love is truly so desperate or if they are simply trying to keep them in chains.

And sometimes it's both.

I can only say from my experiences with those types of personalities.

Yes! At first it's a 'don't do it' reaction, but after getting the same line every-time they've done something that they know has crossed the line then I picked up pretty quick.

But I will add that it's different for every person and situation therefore I do not speak for the general population, only of my experiences and how I came to know the differences.

In the end I try never to take 'suicide' talk lightly and err on the cause of caution.

First thing in the morning comments without coffee.

The date this went up is Dec 24,2008. I've stopped putting up anything about psychology for many reasons. The post stated to seek help other than a forum. I don't play around with threats of suicide and at the time felt it was sound advice. Today I'd say you need to know the situation, past bad acts by a person and never just ignore what they have to say. At the time I'd never experienced personal depression. Let's just say you have to live it to understand it. Experience is probably the best teacher. I also don't discuss psychology on this forum any more; my feelings don't need rude remarks. Counselors and psychologists are just human beings trying to help. Granted many are more arrogant than others.
Bottom line, the one time you think you've read a situation right, you may be WRONG. Do you want to take that chance?

Finding out why they feel like that and listen, and hugs, and
be motivating. Letting them know they are special. Bonding is
always recommended.

Christmas time is a popular time for suicides as they are alone with their thoughts while the rest of the world seem to be having fun.



It's actually the first month or so just after the holidays where we see more suicides. Just as a fun fact.

https://www.snopes.com/holidays/christmas/suicide.asp. Please read the link.

Suicide rates do not increase during holiday seasons, this is a false assumption as I stated before.
Many people need help and support year round. Please end this false assumption. Suicides are caused by many different reasons, don't blame the holidays.The holidays can be a stressful time but they aren't the reason. Give support year round to anyone whose behavior appears to have drastically changed. Particularly those that get extremely withdrawn and quiet. Pay attention. Some show signs that are very hard to detect.

Experiencing psychiatric symptoms is horrible. Many people who try to live with these symptoms every day sometimes feel so discouraged they want to end their lives. Suicide is never a good idea. Why not?

Psychiatric symptoms get better. Sometimes they get better even if you don?t do anything about them. But there are many things you can do to help relieve these symptoms. To feel a little better right now, try the following:
Tell someone how you feel?someone you like and trust. Talk to them until you feel better. Then listen to them while they tell you what is going on in their life.
Do something you really enjoy?something you love to do?like go for a walk, read a good book, play with your pet, draw a picture or sing a song.
Get some exercise?any kind of movement will help you feel better. It doesn?t have to be strenuous.
Eat something healthy like a salad, some fruit, a tuna fish sandwich or a baked potato.
Develop and use a symptom monitoring and response plan (Wellness Recovery Action Plan) to help yourself get well and stay well.
When you feel better, you will have many wonderful experiences?warm spring days, snowy winter days, laughs with friends, playing with children, good movies, tasty food, great music, seeing, hearing, feeling. You will miss all these things, and many more, if you are not alive.
Your family members and friends will be devastated if you end your life. They will never get over it. They will think about it and miss you every day for the rest of their lives. If you have a box of family photographs, choose some photos of the people you love and display them around your house to remind yourself that you never want to hurt these people.
When symptoms are very severe, you may have a hard time making good decisions for yourself. To make it hard to make a bad decision, like ending your life, make suicide hard for yourself by taking these preventive actions:

Get rid of all the old pills and any firearms you might have around your house.
Give away your car keys, credit cards and check books when you start to experience symptoms?before they get worse.
There are good people who can help you through these hard times. It may be your family members or friends. Set up a system with them so they will stay with you around the clock when your symptoms are severe. If you don?t have family members or friends who could do this, call your local mental health emergency services and ask them what to do.

That may differ from which part of the world you may be looking at.
Christmas is an extremly depressing time foe the lonely or those that feel alone whilist everyone else seems to be planning or having fun.
