This is how to help suicidal people

1 post in this topic

Speaking from experience because I was suicidal some time ago in the past. And I will share what has helped me to overcome suicidal thoughts and depressed mood . I'm not going to talk about the physical or biological aspects like getting enough sunlight (especially  the the winter is near ) or eating lean meat and lean vegetables and taking antidepressants If the person is experiencing panic attacks or really urgent feelings to end their lives and they are restless ...etc all of that is great but the real remedy is psychological tricks. You need to tell a suicidal person that life is indeed absolutely meaningless and indifferent to the ultimate degree .don't shame them .don't blame them. Don't tell them you are responsible for your life and how you feel .because truly suicidal people have basically broken out of the matrix completely. You can't BS them .these melodramas and self-help platitudes won't work on them . Nothing can Filter through their minds.  They just think it's all a pointless nihilistic existence. And in a sense it really is .so you have to tell them exactly that . Counterintuitive. They want to end their lives because they think life is meaningless pointless endless suffering with death waiting for them in the end .and you must tell them that thats precisely true .and Counterintuitive as you may think that's exactly what's gonna ease their emotional suffering. Because they feel that the burden has been lift off their shoulders. Nobody is filling their minds with illusory meanings and shoulds and shoud-nots and musts and must nots and moralising and false beliefs. In a nutshell you dive even deeper into your nihilistic beliefs that even the idea of meaninglessness is itself meaningless .you make a 180 degree turn. And come out the other side optimistic. And in fact from my experience usually the happiest you will ever be in life comes exactly after your lowest points . I read a sentence online "when you can't get any lower..you can only get higher ". Just like how they say the night gets the darkest right before sunrise.

 "When you get very serious about truth you accept your life situation exactly as it is. So much so that you aren't childishly sitting around wishing it were otherwise.If you were confined to a wheelchair you would just accept it as how reality is. Just as you now just accept that you are not a bird who can fly."
