Your thoughts. Would you leave a suicide note?!


Question: Your thoughts!. Would you leave a suicide note!?
I had recently lost a close friend by suicide!. He had been extremely depressed and everything appeared to be failing on him!. I did not know about this because he hid all this from his friends and even his family!. This horrible event has shaken me to the core!. While I feel like I've let my friend down by not being about to help him, I also know that thiswould have happened regardless on what I could have done!. This experience has made me look at my own life, as I have these feeliings myself!. I was told my my doctor that most people during their lifetime will have thoughts of suicide!. My friend did not leave a note!. Would you leave a note behind!? The hurt is already painful for those he left behind, why would you left a note!? Wouldn't it be bettter to let go and more on!? Please, serious responses only!. Thanks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Im really sorry to read about your friend!. I think its natural for illness or death of a loved one to make us reflect on our own life and feelings so try not to beat yourself up too much!.

I've lived with depression for many years and have had suicidal feelings!. If I ever was to commit suicide, theoretically, I think I would have to leave a note!. Like your friend I've not told my family about my depression!. I think it would too much to try and explain everything from the beginning in a letter but I would leave a letter if only to tell my family how much I love them etc, and that I was sorry!.

I dont think there's any "right" or "wrong" way when it comes to suicide!. Its an issue thats extremley personal to the individual involved!. Its easy to label someone as being a coward etc but often what's led up to a person wanting to end their life has been very difficult and I doubt its ever an easy choice!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you have second thoughts the note might make you think 'Right, i've wrote the note theres no way back now i have to do this'
I have had a friend who had this happen to her she wrote the note and she was gradually getting however this note that she had wrote a month of so ago was possessing her life so she just had to do it!.

I'm so sorry for your loss!.

I would leave a note!. A couple, actually!. To everyone that mattered to me!. I'd want them to know that it wasn't their fault, that I loved them, and why I loved them!. And thats probably what would keep me from killing myself--- realizing what I actually have in life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am sorry for your loss!. In regards to your question I really dont know!.
I have attempted suicide before and once you get in that place its like nobody's voice can reach you!. I might leave a note to the closest person to me but what happens when you go in one direction its like you push people away so that you can hurt yourself!. Its very contradictory wanting to connect but at the same time being in so much pain that you just want things to stop!. I think from my experiences I didnt even think about writing a note!. I just wanted to clock out!. I hope you have people around you to help you through this and remember this isnt your fault!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend! You are right in that, his brain chemistry was not operating up to par and so his decision making skills were strongly affected!. He should have sought psychiatric help to get the meds and therapy he needed to recover!. There is still such a big stigma against mental struggles today in society!. This is based upon ignorance of their causes!. They are just as chemistry based as cancer or diabetes!. Most americans will seek out professional health at some points in their lives for depression, anxiety, etc!. Take care of yourself! Eat a healthy diet, get cardio exercise and some sun every day!. All these things help to keep us mentally healthy!. We must all work together to encourage each other to seek professional help in this vital health area!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
