Signs of Suicidal Thinking.
"A suicidal person may talk of self-destructive behavior: Maybe I should just jump from the roof." or "My family (the world) would be better off without me" or something just as equally haunting. If someone is saying this to you, Don't ignore it!
Treat it as urgent!
There may be sudden interest in firearms or poisons. They may write poetry about death or listen to music about suicide or other depressing music! If your friend or loved one is on medication, you may notice conspicuous overuse that could be lethal. Maybe they've started becoming withdrawn and giving their personal items (especially favorite things) away. Perhaps they are returning gifts that you gave them, that you know they liked! Don't ignore this! Treat it as urgent!
OTHER WARNING SIGNS may include!
"Alcohol, or drug abuse or both combined with depression have been signs of persons who may be candidates for suicide. Feeling trapped and having a high level of cynicism toward others at home, school or work may be a symptom as well. Also those who experience dramatic mood swings, uncontrollable rage, or outburst, a desire for revenge, blatant recklessness and statements of hopelessness, have represented the emotional status of some persons who have either attempted suicide or have committed suicide. Again, Don't ignore this!
Treat it as urgent!
Seek help for them until they get the help they need!
Caring is being a "true friend" or loved one.
