![]() However, you can change your responses and reactions to them. There is nothing you can do, ultimately, to force other people to change, or to care about you. Plus, if you're gone, how people react to you or think about you doesn't matter anyway. Your decision to commit suicide won't prove anything. You may be thinking "I will show them all", that you'll prove something, or get someone to to listen to you or take you seriously. You may be thinking that this is an effective way to punish or communicate pain to people who have previously hurt you.Life will go on, of course, but living with a permanent grief is never a good state of affairs. If there is even one person in your family (or one friend, even) that you care about, your suicide will carve a permanent hole into that person's heart that will never quite successfully heal. All of the people who are close to you will be very wounded by your death, and the ones who care about you the most, or need you the most, will be the most affected. ![]() ![]() Suicide will affect your entire family as well as your close friends. You may not be thinking about the other people you will harm.It is very likely that if you kill yourself, you will have confused the temporary for the permanent. Your mental state will change with time, your pursuit of treatment, and your active efforts to alter the things in the environment that are bothering you. Suicidal feelings are NOT a permanent state in most cases. Suicidal feelings and thoughts tend to decrease over time. You may be assuming that your current feelings and situation will never change for the better.In most cases, a variety of thinking errors (called cognitive biases) conspire to make situations seem more dire than they really are. There is a difference! Just because you feel hopeless doesn't mean that life and your situation are truly hopeless. You may be confusing thoughts that feel true for thoughts which are true.Examples of coping mechanisms you might not be taking full advantage of include but are not limited to: psychotherapy, medication, various forms of social, occupational and educational assistance, and the support of other people who get where you are coming from. ![]() ![]()
