...Suicide (Latin suicidium, from sui caedere, to kill oneself) is the intentional killing of one's self. Suicide may occur for a number of reasons, including depression, desperation, emotional pressure, physical pain, shame, guilt, anxiety, financial difficulties, or other undesirable situations. The World Health Organization noted that over one million people commit suicide every year, and that it is one of the leading causes of death among teenagers and adults under 35. CIS: UN Body Takes On Rising Suicide Rates There are an estimated 10 to 20 million non-fatal attempted suicides every year worldwide. Read full entry

suicide....?
I am doing research for a
suicidology assignment. The
main subject of my project
is..why is suicide so hard to
prevent..now this is where i
need y!a users help. If you
have known anyone that
committed suicide, did you
notice that they go through a
state of euphoric happiness
before they died (almost as if
they were couldn't wait for
their pain to end etc.) if any
of you could elaborate on that
i would be so grateful. I
appreciate all answer, thanks
in advance

I was thinking about this in regards to myself.When I got the closest to suicide that I have ever been and crossed the line of thinking about and actually acting strongly on the thoughts and then deciding to do it. I did have a sense of tying up loose ends like I didnt want to have a messy house or clutter to be left to be cleaned up by others. To help with the pressure I was under I had given myself permission to keep going and going and if one last thing just was the absolute final straw I decided I would need to be ready. So my main noticable obsession was getting my environment ready and uncluttering my life. No euphoria just a kind of sense of calmness and sorting and tidying and preparing. When you do ask for help in a big crisis you deal with so many passing through medical people and therapists etc so you have bits of help and promises from one place and then a little bit somewhere else. Its generally with the best of intentions but there is only so much that they can do. When you see them hitting the wall of their reserves you think well if you cant do anything and Im asking you for help because I cant do anything then who can. Then the answer feels like no one. The help to prevent it is just a distracting noise in the background whilst you and you alone think your thoughts and do it or dont do it. All the time I was looking for little hooks and loop holes to give me reason to do it or not to do it. I think that means there might always be a little loop hole or a little light spot somewhere within the cycles of the blackness of it that means it is possible to help someone prevent themselves doing it. Ideally if someone can stay by your side and be strong and help you through it all and connect up all your worlds - therapy and home and physical health etc then maybe it is preventable. Not being treated as a patient but as a thinking person might help as well because then you dont go into a mode of having no voice about your own state and then you begin to diffuse the responsities for your own actions to others because the strongest part of you is being ignored and devalued. |

What is the difference between Except for spelling!; Aren't
these words about the same?
Here are a few examples: A
suicide bomber considers
his/her decision as a
sacrifice but we see it as a
suicide. The RELIGIOUS Jesus
died as a sacrifice but if we
look at the HISTORIC Jesus,
his actions were suicide(He
was a real man without
powers(?) to some historians).
Those firemen and police
officers who went into the
Twin Towers knew it was
suicide but we see their
actions as a sacrifice.

in a way they are the same but in a way they are not...suicide is the fact that you are killing yourself for a reason truly unknown...sacrifice, you are giving yourself up for someone or something... you listed perfect examples but both of those words can be perceived in very different ways to different people i see the terrorists who hijacked those planes and crashed them into the towers as suicide...but now, if you ask Osama or any other terrorist, they will say that it was a sacrifice i see sacrifice as a person giving something or themselves up to help others...yes, jesus sacrificed himself as for the firemen and police officers on September 11th, i am sure almost every single one of them saw themselves perishing in the towers but not all did...police officers, firemen, military members all sacrifice their time and even lives sometimes for humanity AWESOME question by the way |

How does a suicide affect More specifically, do the
chances of someone committing
suicide go up if a loved one
committed suicide? How much? I
would like specific facts and
figures if possible if there
is a professional out there.
For clarification, I am not
contemplating suicide. No one
I know has commited suicide
and this is not really a
personal issue for me at the
moment. I have an interest in
phsychology and wasnt haveing
any luck finding any specific
figures based on studies and
such. I assume since suicide
is such a big issue, that
there has to be some fairly
easily findable solid info.
Also, I am a writer and I have
a story idea, but I like to
collect a lot of solid
background info beforehand.
You know, have more knowledge
then you actually plan to use.
Please, anyone who may have
done research on this for
their job or for a thesis or
something, I am very curious.

Social scientists talk about "suicide clusters" so even when something hits the news about suicide, - you'll see a percentage of people do it to themselves. That's why I'm against the 'right to die' campaigns that state nobody should make you live if you don't want to. ie. -like abortion we'll some day have "killing centers' where folks can walk (or roll) right in and be done away with. |
