Let’s talk about suicide.

For some people committing suicide seems like an unreasonable, selfish, rushed decision.

Is it a spur-of-the-moment decision?

However, the action might not be planned, committing suicide is never a quick, carelessly made decision. People who attempt or commit suicide usually find it the only way they can escape their suffering. They might suffer from mental diseases or other external problems, which they do not see a way out of.

Suicidal people always showed signs of their thoughts. These Signs can be as simple as drinking or as extreme as self-harming. Those who suffer from such emotions often try to tell people they consider close to them that they think of hurting themselves. They may not say it directly, it is not uncommon for them to make jokes about self-harming or suicide. Every type of change in someone’s behavior can be a sign of struggle, for example, being more agitated than usual, isolating or never wanting to be alone.

Why do people commit suicide?

There are multiple reasons why someone may turn to suicide. It can happen because of years of struggle, not being heard, loneliness, illness (both mental and physical), and in some cases, it may be because of abuse (physical, sexual, or verbal), also can be because of the loss of someone. Everyone has different struggles that lead to suicide. therefore, we should take seriously everyone’s problems and be understanding with one-another. Even if you feel like they are just being dramatic about something, it might be because, in reality, they have so much struggle, they can’t deal with seemingly small problems.
