How can u save someone from suicide?
i posted earlier about my brother and his girl freind i found out hes doing drugs thats what he got arrested for he lives very nasty he dont care how he looks and he smells and when i seen him earlier he said he was gonna kill himself he does own guns not sure what to do becuse hes said he was gonna kill himself before i might be in danger myself .What should i do?

sometimes the drugs he is taking can cause the feelings of hopelessness. I think in the 70's it was called bad tripping. Being as bad as he is it seems to me he may need some serious help here. I guess you being the only one so near him you should take it on yourself to contact a health authority or the RNC and ask them what can be done to avert a tragedy before it becomes one.
Every counsel for suicidal situations are different. I sat with a young woman all one night till the wee hours of the morning, just listening to her and being an ear so to speak. Sometimes they just need someone to really listen and tell them all the reasons why they should live, etc. Obviously he or she that contemplates suicide feels there is nothing left to live for, that life is pointless. That is not true and a lie he telling himself. Each person is special and there is only one copy in all creation. One set of gifts and talents unique to him and him alone. That's what you have to make him see...... his value and uniqueness to the rest of the world. Be a friend to him, open your heart and share and encourage him, be sympathetic to his concerns. And keep offering the hand of friendship each day, call, email, visit and let him know there is someone who cares and understands. Hope I have helped some on your question for you.


Matt
Tell him he matters...there is more than life to girls, epecially his brother who cares! People will miss him if hes gone. Theres a whole world out there full of adventure, and giving up is never an option. Motivate him, and if it gets too hot to handle, tell your parents and work something out. Just make sure he doesnt kill himself. Contact a professional also

Talk to them.


Florence P
He is crying out for attention, but he is not sure how to get it yet. Suicide is depression left untreated. You need to get someone that he cares about to talk to him before it is too late. Get him to a doctor because there is medication for this. You can have him "bakeracted".....the hospital can only hold him for 72 hours then they have to release him. If you really feel he is going to do something drastic, call 911 and they will do it for you. Good luck.

You could have him commited into a mental health facility. If he is suicidal then they will involuntarily commit him.


Mandy Cat
Intervention! Maybe gather the whole family, everyone that loves / cares for him. That's really all you can do, he ultimately has got to want to live and/or change!

GET HIM TO A PROFESSIONAL, ASAP. TALK TO THE POLICE AND ASK FOR HELP


Kitten Toes
He is probably just looking for attention. My sisters husband has threatened to kill himself to keep from going to jail (he was sent to rehab and therapy instead), and one of my ex boyfriends threatened to do it if I left him. Losers, both of them. This guy sounds the same. If you are genuinely concerned for his safety, call a help line, and stay away from him.

Talk to your parents and then all of you can call the police. you might think that is messed up because he is your brother, but if you don't and he kills himself you will wish you did for the rest of your life.

tell them what he said, that he has guns and hope that they can get him some help. That is your only option. Don't go back over there, you ARE in danger.

try talking to him and see what is his problem. Maybe by expressing himself he will be relieve.


Catalyst
No matter what reassure him that he is loved and depended on and he will be letting the people he loves down. Tell him that you will feel tremendous pain for his loss.


Wolfy747
get support. police, community, all of the above. you need to intervene. if not, he'll likely take more than himself down. and the last thing we need is more ammunition for those who support gun control. I would not let this lie, and possibly the more public you could make it, the better; as he will have no place to go, and will have to face his problems. I do not know any names or numbers off hand, but I would try asking the police department if they might have any councelors that they might be able to spare for this sort of thing.

This is too much stress put on you, don't hesitate to tell someone that can help. Remember if this does end up happening ITS NOT YOUR FAULT. If you feel like your in danger than you need to tell someone immediatly. Don't be afraid, you could be saving your life and his life.


Renee'
first, you want to be sure that the family is aware of his intentions. Talk one on one with your brother. Show him that he is surrounded by people who love him and want to see him succeed in life. Offer him help and guidence to overcome his drug problem. If he lives alone, maybe you could stay with him for a couple of days. If he is serious about this then dont do or say anything to encourage him. Just show him that everyone would be very upset, and nothing is that bad, to kill yourself over. OR he might just be doing all of this to get attention because he feels that no one loves him..... I really hope this helps you out in this scary situation.

The hard part is accepting that you really can't do anything.


Marine Wife
you need to tell somebody. That is nothing to mess around with. In the state that he is in it sounds like he would really do it. Tell your parents, get him help immediately, before something terrible happens.

Tell your parents or tell the cops. They would prevent him from doing it and they will put him into psychology .


me
I dont know how old you are, if you are a minor, you need to tell your parents so they can do something, if you are older, i suggest you call the police and explain the situation, that he is very depressed and has firearms at his disposal. he will be very upset that you did that but it will save his life and he will thank you later.

I see no one wanted to touch this question...

I suggest you pray for him(if you believe )
pratically talk with and see if he is serious
and see if He wants help, or if you could
be instrumental in helping him get off of
drugs, and changing his lifestyle.

Talk to others to help emotionally support you.


afi567x
I think the only way to attempt to save one from killing themselves is to simply talk to them.


BL
Get psychological help.


A_Moron
I had a friend commit suicide. You can't stop them. If someone is at that point in their life, its really hard to stop. Encourage them to seek help as gently as possible, and YOU can seek professional help in seeking his help.

OMG TELL YOUR PARENTS


warriorxstud69
all you can do is be there for him. if he told you that, it means that he is calling out for attention. it means that he wants to be saved. just support him in all the positive things and help him get help for all the negative things, such as substance abuse. in most cases, people just want someone to listen and be there for them.
