Suicide awareness and support.


 How we think and react to life and what's happening around us may be different to other people,

 there shouldn't be any shame in it whatever is happening and whatever someone thinks and how they feel inside, etc.

 Someone not always agrees with someone, but it doesn't give a reason for them to make them feel guilty 

about how they think, feel, react or even interact with how their life is,

 which may put a lot of people off going for help and support even though they are out there these days.

 No one is forced to talk and no one forced not to talk.

 However,' coping and struggling alone is not easy.

 It is down to us as human beings to make each other feel it's 

okay for those who don’t want so much want to talk but feel they can if they want to. 

No matter what we think about what people say, we should not judge, 

discriminate or make them feel ashamed of their way of thinking. 

What they may talk about is life around them, their situation, 

and possibly the people in their lives, it's not right for us to judge that, 

etc whatever we may think, their thoughts matter not ours. 

It is down to us to show concern.

Listen to what the person says. 

Be easy for them to talk to, even if we don't always agree 

but don't show opinions unless they ask for it. However,'

 when comes to counseling etc, you need to force it all

 on the person not what you think. 

Give out suggestions, for example, this is what could 

happen if you climb that mountain.

Not for example; Don't climb that mountain you will fall. 

here's a difference between saying don't and you could fall if you do.

Never tell someone not to do something or do something. 

Never tell someone to stop or start doing something but

 you can say what could happen if they do or don't in the case maybe.

If someone feels forced into something they may feel less 

likely to open to anyone and keep how they are feeling about what's 

bothering them to themselves, which there risk of them feeling 

more and more than life is not worth living.

 However,' they mostly feel they want to end their pain, not their life,

 not sure where to turn, and may not know how long they can cope,

 and may not feel strong even though may be stronger than they feel they are.

Suicide awareness and support part one.


 According to the World Health Organize, there is about one million people have died each year from Suicide.

 What causes this is unknown and why this happens, only those who face Mental health us. 

This may not be always life around one.

 This is where Mental health can be misunderstood for people being ungrateful to life. 

Whether you have everything or nothing at all, it's hard to understand those of us who may feel sad, angry, etc

 at any time, any place, anywhere.  Not even we ourselves know why, 

we just feel as we do no matter what, which most times has nothing to do 

with what is going on around us and with and without a reason for us to feel how we feel. 

Like I said in past posts there was a time, if you were down, sad, angrily, moody,

 etc for no one reason, most people would see you as behaving purposely and intentionally, 

moody, nasty, naughty, attention-seeking, etc. Pretty much you were made to feel ashamed, guilty, etc. 

This shouldn't be the case.

 We wonder why so many may not go for help, sadly there can be loads of reasons why not.

 Bearing in mind we are considered people of all ages. Sorry to sound outdated but 

as crazy as it sounds it's true, those of us who were alive in the 70s, 80s,

 even before then, and even in the nineties say the start 2000s. 

The reason I say this is because I would say gladly that awareness of

 Mental health I think has risen in the last 10 years. 

 Most of them were around before the seventies to say the early 2000s,

 we lived in a time there was no help and support,

 although I would say through the nineties there was just starting to be. 

Many probably still are sadly used to struggling alone somehow 

because they were told and knew nothing else from childhood to learn to

 live with whatever to a point when counseling was possible many of us feared

 in case whoever we were talking to thought we were nuts, which is what

 I worried about when it was often to me in my late 20s. 

Others may fear judgment, stigma, discrimination, which was very much the case for years, 

mainly if a lot of young people have told off their parent what they may have faced, etc 

what they faced when they were their age, etc. 

This is where we need to keep on improving and thinking about how 

we word things to our clients by not making them feel ashamed, guilty, 

etc or however they are feeling about whatever it may. 

Loss of life is always the heart of breaking for people who know 

people or a person, mainly when it comes to family.

 The hardest thing is most don't always open, 

which may depend on what they are facing in their lives etc.

 This is not an easy one because if they don't open to tell anyone what they are facing,

 it's impossible to understand why the person is feeling the need to feel they just cannot live anymore. 

However,' Depression for example can vary to different

 people and it's never easy when there is no reason the person feels

 as they do and not even the person themselves know why. 

Therefore, can it be that there can be a risk of an increase in the way people are 

feeling to the risk of suicide without a reason? 

I may be wrong, but I would guess so the reason for that is

 when there's nothing to tell anyone and they may feel embarrassed ashamed, 

guilty etc even more so worrying they may put others through any trouble,

 which is the most concerning one because they have nothing to 

feel bad about it and we shouldn't make them feel that way. 

This I would say is the worst depression of all with there been nothing to tell, 

it's most likely we are not going to know people are facing this, 

even those we are aware most people could be, which is not easy to save 

people if they feel at that stage, cause we don't know who is feeling this way. 

However,' we can let them know we understand that we are not going to know 

why they feel as they do those that do but we are here to help or and

 we are willing to find help, and they don't have to go through this alone.

 They don't need a reason to feel as they do.
