I tried. but I cannot help him, now he is gone.
Being realistic, his life was truly miserable. Toxic household. Early age bullying, an eating disorder. 2 of his best friends died an one suicided.
And worst of all, he was smart. He was aware of all the things of his life, he tried to suicide 3 times. Sadly. The third was the one.
He tried, he really tried but everything in his life was getting worse Everytime.
When he was starting to pass this phase, his father die with tumor, he was diagnosed with a cancer tumor in his neck and his brother suicided.
He and his mother's moved to the capital after the death of his father and brother and he survived a surgery to extirpate the cancer tumor.
He had a girlfriend but she cheated on him.
After all the years he lost almost everyone in his life, he couldn't make new friends. He was in constant pain.
After the third attempt the doctors could save him but not for too long.
In his last night he said to me I just want to rest, all in my life is just getting worse. I just want to rest, I been taking this since I was a child
The next day he feel on a coma and the doctors said he won't wake up
He maked music, I gaved names to plenty of them. I really enjoyed that.
But now I just hear the last music he send to me and just destroys to me knowing that I won't hear anymore from him.
He went to a psychologist but didn't worked for him.
I don't believe in god or any religion.
But I hope if there's something aside black when we are death, that he are in a place where he can finally rest
Good bye my starlight
I really tried to help you.

I knew my boyfriend was suicidal but at first I thought it maybe just a joke, today he texted in a group chat saying he loves us all I was in total choke and had no idea what to do, I wanted to help him (and still do, maybe run away from my house and go to his? (20 minutes, and my parents would probably stop me somehow) ask my parents for help? (I have no idea how it would go) call the police or something like that? (Im in a country where my first language isnt theirs, so Ill probably sound really bizarre) I was crying and had no idea what to do, after about 20 minutes of arguing with myself and feeling powerless, I rushed out of my room to the kitchen, breathless I explain to my mom what happend while crying, I dont want to go into much details but at the end his best friend calmed him down by text, and he (my bf) listening to his favorite songs.
Im right now writing this the night it happend, around 5 hours later, Im still in choke and want to help him desperately but dont want to seem fake or rude, any suggestions?

you are insensitive. all human beings are insensitive.
human beings are interested in mental health only for the benefits of production and welfare. it's just a big lie, and you teach people how to lie on those who are suffering to stop them from committing suicide. utilitarianism are deeply rooted in every human situation. even those who are working as psychologists and psychiatrists; they are only interested in the money you pay for your mental health. they convince you that you are doing the right thing, and only ridicule your mind to believe them. it's a big trick. life has no real worth. but because a lot of humans seek their utilities, enjoyment etc they don't want the others to annoy them, and though this exact person who decided to commit suicide renounced everything, they are still seeking gains from his suicide. continuing the big lie of being alive!

Almost all of my friends are suicidal and cut theirself regulary. They often talk with me about it like its a normal thing and everyone does that. But everytime they show me their scars or just make some jokes about how they feel and hat they want to do i just wanna tear up. I often think I am responsible for the well being of my friends and its really putting a lot of pressure on me. I feel like its my mission to literally keep them alive and stop them from doing what theyre doing even tho i know that i am not responsible. But it really hurts because i really love evry single one of them so much i cannot describe this feeling but its terrible. I just want them to stay and be happy. And because most of them are suicidal, i cannot talk with them about that because theyll just stop telling me about it and one day maybe just be gone. Im really scared to lose them.

2days ago i found out that one of my friends was in the hospital because he tried to commit suicide. He came back today: ) i gave him a hug. I ofc told him that he count on me if he need to talk to someone i wouldnt judge him for any reason but everytime im trying to text him as much as i can, he always responds with im not in good mood to talk or that he doesnt want to talk to anyone and just wants to be alone. But i dont want to leave him alone i feel like hes actually gonna be succesful if he tries again: ( im scared. We might not be the closest friends( i met him like the 3rd-4th week of school) but still i wish he would open up to me, or just a little. Any tips?

You could do what my friend did when I was feeling suicidal recently - and totally ignore me. When I got back in touch to say I was still alive, they ignored me. This followed a conversation where I said I was feeling low and they joked - may I suggest suicide hence in anger I said not to joke about this as that was how I was actually feeling recently. They walked away. Maybe the best way you can help yourself is not to have friends like that, but sometimes you can know someone for years and that time you really need some support, they show their true selves and walk away because they never gave a about you.

My best friend is suicidal and depressed because his mom left and got accused somethings on social media, few days ago he said he will be gone and forgotten. but since i purposefully ignored him because i used to hate him, I don't know how to break the silence suddenly, and i can't comfort people. So i think i should give a message to his other best friend. Because he doesn't know he's about to take his own life. I don't know any suicide hotlines and his phone number, so i can't do that either.

Yesterday, my gf told me that she wants to die, maybe by a miracle, and some days ago, a really good and wise friend told me her suicidal date. I don't know what to do, I don't want to lose such a great people like them, i wanna see them grow and success in their lives, and is more difficult bcuz i only met them by discord and not irl, and i'm not good giving cheering up or comfort, I have faith in that they will get over this and they won't die, but still i'm worried and scared of what i must do

You are totally wrong in the fact of trying to see a so-called professional of which there is none. The best thing that you can do for a suicidal person is take them out and have some fun. Spend the day with them go hiking whether they want to or not or at least go sit in the woods with them. Don't let them be alone hang out with them sending them off to a professional is a sure way of getting somebody to kill themselves I know this from experience

My friend is actually having a lot of suicidal thoughts and I dont know what to do. Her parents really abuse her to the point her mental health is at a very bad state. She says that if she suicides, her parents would know how to treat her small sister. Im trying to motivate her not to do that but it seems to not be working. Pls tell me what to do cuz she is really and angel and I love her and I dont want to loose her.

I was on call with my friends earlier and it was pretty dark, but I could see that my other friends was taking a lot of paracetamol. I didn't know what to do so I started hyperventilating. I told her girlfriend to see if I could get her to help since she already knew she was suicidal but she was offline. She has stopped for now but any advice would help alot

Watching this because for the past couple of days my friend has been literally seconds away from ending his life. Im trying my best, and because Ive been through the exact same thing plenty of times, I know how to help him. But I cant tell if Im doing enough, or the right thing. I know theres something I should be doing right now. I just cant find it.

Coming from a suicidal person, it is best to not be dismissive, not matter how much you think it is fake. Always ask yourself: what if they really want to? What if its real? Asking questions like this will help you develop the mindset where you can help this person
