Suicidal thinking has traditionally been viewed as a gradual escalation, Kleiman says, where “people build up a desire to die over a long time and eventually, some act on this desire.” But research has shown “that suicidal thoughts can escalate rapidly and be somewhat short-lived.” In his own work, he has found that suicidal thinking can fluctuate dramatically over even short time periods—emphasizing the importance, he says, of checking back in regularly and empathetically with anyone who may be at risk.
Remember that reaching out, while difficult, is worth the effort. “None of this is easy,” says Sandler. “Opening up any of these lines of conversation makes both people vulnerable and involves risk. But it is likely worth the risk, if it means you can be a part of building a network of support around a person.”
Suicide is solution for any thing
