    Suicide

    What do you do when someone approaches you and is clearly on the edge?

    I would tell them dont

    and not go out of my way to stop them

    a year or two ago a kid was charged for telling her bf to go through with it after he did. He kept talking about it.

    so she thought well this must really be what he wants

      Call 911 and put them on a legal hold, let them get professional help.

        Na I read some transcripts from that case. She kept on calling him a “pussy” and constantly pushed him to do it. Then tried to claim clout over being “devastated” in the media. That girl was a psycho.

          There is a guy who I don’t like because he mistreated my cousin when they hooked up. He came by drunk a month after she left him and I don’t know why I let him in. We got into an altercation and afterward he wrapped his headphones around his neck and said “this is what I want to do”. He seemed defeated and broken and I don’t think he has any friends or family. No one seems to be coming to his aid because I don’t think he did anything like that to anyone else. No one knows.

            If he is having suicidal thoughts, he needs to bE committed.

            they’ll assess if he’s full of crap or if he is really suicidal.

            lots of people use this tactic to get a free meal in the hospital. They take up a lot of beds that can be used for more people that are sick.

            if he’s homeless looking for a place to stay, they use the hospital..

            if he’s on drugs, they will send him to a psychiatric hospital to withdraw.

            honestly, sounds like he’s full of crap, if he does it, he does it.

            plus you said he’s drunk.. let the cops deal with it.

            has he sobered up?

              He has sobered up.

              Having someone committed is such an alien concept to me and I’ve had fights with him before so why would anyone believe me? Maybe I’m just some guy lying and trying to get another guy locked up.

              He’s Inuit and the suicide rate amongst them is way high. I don’t think it’s smart of me to just ignore it. Maybe I should contact my cousin and have her talk to
              him.

                Now that he’s sober...if he’s still suicidal, take him to the ER. They’ll put him on a 72 hour hold for observation.

                  My best friend killed himself march 2019. His father then killed his wife(moms) then himself in december the same year.

                  I don't know, just let them know you care and hope for the best.

                  Dude used to come to my house everyday and hang out in my shop everyday. Sometimes I paid him for work, sometimes he was just there to chat. March 3rd I got a call my aunt had been murdered by her husband in front of their kids. So I was gone a while. When I came back I was told Drew had taken himself out. His family came and went inside a week. Brothers, uncles, **** like that. His father had strokes back in the 90s and by suffered from speech aphasia. So inside the week of his death Drew's mom was left to take care of his father. I came every single day to check on them. I spoke to both of them, even though pops could hardly I could sometimes make sense of it and he'd smile and I could tell dude was just happy to be heard and understood. I brought them food. I took trinkets and small remembrances and other forms of symbolic love folks do when they lose someone, out to where Drew slit his wrist, out to a bowl of blood no one would let me remove. I got drunk with them though I don't really drink, sang songs, cried, laughed, and generally tried to be there as best I could no matter what. Then one day I found them in a bloody pool in their garage, break barrel not far from the father.

                  Support? An ear? love? None of that is a sure path to success here, it's worth it to try but you could end up scarred too.

                  My advice is understand what you're doing if you choose to do something about the situation. Know that you may fail, you may see and hear things you don't want to, you may end up in a world of trouble that was never yours.

                  I do miss my friends, but I can hardly remember the good times now.

                    If someone really wants to take their life no one can stop them.

                    Now they're those that use it as a cry for help that aren't serious. They maybe able to be helped.

                    Most issues are a bump in the road. Tomorrow is a new day as I like to say.
