Data: Factual information (as measurements or statistics) used as a basis for reasoning, discussion, or calculation

“Suicide is not chosen; it happens when pain exceeds resources for coping with pain.”

If you feel sad, lonely, depressed, even suicidal it does not mean you are a bad person, or crazy, or weak, or flawed, it only means that you have more pain than you can cope with right now. And we're here to try and help people cope with that pain. To give them someone to talk to, to provide a light in the darkness. If you don't know who to talk to and dont know where to turn to for help...just ask. Everyone can get lost sometimes but we can give you the right directions.

Please join our mailing list for information on upcoming events and further information!
if you would like to talk, please pm one of the moderators and we'll mail you back, take care!

we also do not accept resonsibility for external sites on this page; please do not advertise!

Cheers!

SUICIDE WARNING SIGNS
Often warning signs are present. This may not just be one particular sign, there are often several clues that are apparant. The only way to make sure though is to ask them.

Here are some warning signs or signals that a suicidal person may give.

* Depression: not clinical depression even, but showing signs of:
* Recurring suicidal thoughts dreams or fantasies
* Showing signs of sadness and hopelessness
* Loss of interest in usual activities
* Loss of energy
* Changes in appetite or weight
* Changes in behaviour
* Change in sleep patterns
* Negative comments about themselves
* They may have made previous suicide attempts.
* They may talk, write or hint about suicide.

These signs are only meant as a guideline... Again the only real way of knowing for sure is to ask

Professional Help
by Nadia Coyle
From our poll below it is evident that quite a few people would not be willing to see a doctor or councilor if they felt suicidal or depressed- why do you feel this is so and what and how do you think things need to change so that people would be willing to get help from professionals?

Bullying
by Rei Scutt
Bullying: A subject that has affect the world since the seventeenth centuary. A subjact that has lasted over four hundred centuries. It's a subject that should be taken seriously, and not half-hearted. People suffer everyday because they're being bullied, wishing they didn't exist to be just an object of someone's cruel pleasure. They'd rather die then be a face of humilliation. Most of this horrific bullying goes on behind closed doors because people are too scared to get help, thinking that no on can help them. They feel alone and scared, like I did. Only last week, a young boy from a secondary school near where I live, hung himself with shoelaces in his bedroom because of bullying. This boy was a friend of my boyfriend's sister, Becky. Hearing on the news, and reading that in the paper hit me. Shocked me. Made me go into deep thought. Why should we have to tollerate that our own brotherhood do to us? Why do humans kill, rape and hurt each other? But we have the right, the right to go to people to help us. The right to end this suffering. The right to end our lives if we must. We can choose what do do, what to say. I, myself, have learned to forgive and forget. Not to react and go to someone who can help. I went to the police, and anyone out there who feels the same, who feels alone and threatened, can do the same. Think of Ben Vodden and what he did, and tell yourself, "what should I do".

Thank you. For proof, scan down and read:

how to make a friend stop worrying
by None
im going through a really bad time at the minute and my friend is worried about me and concerned. He's knows something is up and always asks questions and stuff. I dont like to say anything because i know it will worry him but he always manages to get a little out of me and it makes him worry, in turn this makes me even worse because im worrying about him.

i know it sounds stupid but i just cant cope with it all.
i want to end it but i just dont want my friends to worry about me.

i feel like singing "Unwell" all the time now.

i get so light headed these days and my down periods are alot more common for about 1 month i was then normal hannah (if that exists) and now i'm back to the really depressed one.

anyways i'm needing a bit of help wiv some...... accidents i've beenn having lately.

you see i got into the toilets and when i come out i have somehow accidentally gained a purple face, a sore throat, numb hands and red marks on my throat.

no clue how that came about but yeah, they've been happening alot lately and i know they can never be fatal accidents but they're making my neck / throat alot more sore all the time, it hasn't gone away since yesterday. mind you, neither have the accidents. i'm fine i just....... wanna ask for help for fun.

:/

hey...just wanted to show my support to such a good course...i think more effort needs to be made into youth depression and suicide. it's way to high...

i try to help out where i can...i struggle on in my own life enough...but helping others gives me some reason for being here...

so if anyone needs someone to talk to i'm here for them :) (i'll help if i can)

take care everyone

~JACK~

(ps coz i think this is such a worthy course i'd be happy to make a skin for it if a moderator would like me too...and can tell me what they want on it :) )

My mum finally completed suicide 3 years ago, 2 young men I know within the last 2 years have also, and myself, well I've tried several times.
I was told today by someone that, "people who try suicide are just attention seekers and how can you fail to kill yourself - it's not hard.

I got very angry and asked if they had ever tryed it.
She said no.
I yelled at her "in that case she'd better not say another word as she obviously didn't know what she was talking about!

Suicide is not easy, it is not selfish, it's not a cowards way out, it takes alot of guts. I have failed my attempts only coz I am not brave enough to carry it through.
Some of the young people I work with are self harmers & some have failed attempts of suicide. After going through similar feelings, I can relate to them & they to me, which works & helps them.
I congratulate you for the work you do from this page.
People need to be more aware of this terrible pain some of us find ourselves in from time to time.

Good site. I work in the mental health field. Have done applied suicide intervention skills training. Glad to see this on here.

I was also bullied for 11 years at school and survived it.......I am now happier now than I have ever been.

Take care
