Have not be able to write because have been busy. Have you ever thought over these questions before? How can we help people when they are down? How can we help people when there emotions are down?How can we help people when they feel so lonely? And feeling empty or even hopeless.

The fact remains that life is full of ups and downs. A lot is happening to people. Many people have things they are struggling with but you may not know. Why? Some covered it up well and some pretend nothing is wrong.

Some one may be at the edge of giving up! Some close to you may be having suicidal thought and you may not know!

Exactly why a smile and care from you can make another person feel special.

You may say God forbid that anyone close to be will die by suicide...hmmm yes I say Amen to it for you. but do you know that suicide doesn't discriminate! In short anyone can act upon suicidal thoughts any time so learning about how to prevent it is important.

Suicide is a complex act and serious public health problem.Close to 800,000 people die by suicide every year and for every suicide there are many more suicide attempt. In fact, many youth die by suicide, according to statistics, suicide is the third leading cause of death in 15-29 years of old.

There is no single determining cause of suicide but there are many risks factors for suicide which are prior suicide attempt, depression and other mental health disorders, susbstance abuse disorder, family violence etc.

Reason why we must learn to be there for people. Show love to everyone around you. Only God knows what they are passing through, don't add more salt to the injury.

Be responsible for your fellow friends, neighbor. When someone mood around you is constantly changing...then you need to quickly come in to help. Help them in any way you think your help will be sufficient for them. Ask them why they are moody, no one knows if the solution they need to the problems they are facing lies in your hands.

I have a friend who is passing through a thorough situation, she never say it out. She was critically sick, she will come to office pretending everything is alright with her. She was at the verge of losing her life. So I intentionally visited her one weekend when I noticed that she's suffering from a typhoid fever and they've gone to the hospital but to no avail. I just prescribed some medicinal plants to her and she used them and she was healed .

What if I didn't check on her? She might have become dead, who knows. See check out on your neighbors, walk down your street and ask the welfare of people living around you. You might not know if one of your neighbor is thinking of committing suicide due to trials if life.

Even if you have nothing, your word of advice, your prayers will go a very long way. See without them, you are not complete because in my country there's an adage that says human beings are our cover clothes. Yes, they are the one we will see when we need help or doing something great in life.

Anyone can have suicidal thought! More reason we need to pay attention to our mental health and much emphasis on connection

When you know of any one with suicidal thought, do not stigmitize them! Do not discard their emotions.

Do not tell them that you will keep the secret of their suicidal thought

Learn to have safe conversation with anyone you think has suicidal thought. Do not say you will go to hell if you kill yourself

Do not say, what I am going through is more than what you are going through yet I am not thinking of killing myself. Learn to help them get professional help when need be

Suicide is not a normal response to stress. No one is using suicide as a threat so don't ignore any warning signs!

You can ask the person, would you like to talk about what's on your mind???

The little care you shows goes a very long way that you might think.save a soup today.. let's make this world a better place. There is no better place for me and you without our loved ones. Let's all learn to stretch forth our hands to help other.

Thanks for reading

Suicidal thoughts come into the mind of those who suffered depression, losing hope and have mental disorder due to an illness. As a human being we really like to help those people has the inkling to suicide, but how could we extend our help when they are not open of having that thought. They are the sort of people that are introverts, one question is enough for them, and we who are engrossed to our own daily activities to survive, so we could not observed and decipher their behavior, unless being told.

And the truth is, it is really difficult to give advises to them, If ever, I don't know where to start and how to start without offending their emotions. For people like them are sensitive, secretive and delicate. It takes a lot of effort to be with them and to be very careful in words and actions to avoid misinterpretation.

Suicide is a desperate attempt to escape suffering that has become unbearable. Blinded by feelings of self-loathing, hopelessness, and isolation, a suicidal person can’t see any way of finding relief except through death. But despite their desire for the pain to stop, most suicidal people are deeply conflicted about ending their own lives. They wish there was an alternative to suicide, but they just can’t see one.

Almost everyone who attempts suicide has given some clue or warning. Don’t ignore even indirect references to death or suicide. Statements like “You’ll be sorry when I’m gone,” “I can’t see any way out,”no matter how casually or jokingly said may indicate serious suicidal feelings.

They also have mixed feelings about death, fluctuating between wanting to live and wanting to die. Rather than wanting death, they just want the pain to stop—and the impulse to end their life does not last forever.

Ways to start a conversation about suicide:

“I have been feeling concerned about you lately.”

“Recently, I have noticed some differences in you and wondered how you are doing.”

“I wanted to check in with you because you haven’t seemed yourself lately.”

Questions you can ask:

“When did you begin feeling like this?”

“Did something happen to make you start feeling this way?”

“How can I best support you right now?”

“Have you thought about getting help?”

What you can say that helps:

“You are not alone in this. I’m here for you.”

“You may not believe it now, but the way you’re feeling will change.”

“I may not be able to understand exactly how you feel, but I care about you and want to help.”

“When you want to give up, tell yourself you will hold off for just one more day, hour, minute—whatever you can manage.

I hope you find these tips helful. Thanks for your contribution

Suicide is not the solution of the problems .We should face all the problems bravely. When a man is mentally disturbed or when he is depressed these ideas came in his mind.

Of course dear.... Let's tell others too... It might not be because of us but we should also think of people around us. Please check out on your friends and asked them if they are going through anything difficult in their lives because they won't open up if we don't go to them ... Or what do you think???

Exactly dear. You got my article... Suicide is not a joking matter... We won't know what they are passing through unless we move closer to people around us and share their burden together. Alot of people died due to depression, breakup, poverty and lots more. People going through this trauma really needs our help.
