Signs of suicidal thoughts

[OliveOil]

I was listening to NPR about three months ago when they were talking about something. I didn't really listen to it because I wanted to listen to music instead, but I remember one thing that they said which stuck in my mind..."when someone wants to commit a suicide, they don't say stuff like 'I'm going to kill myself, I wish I was dead, I wish I hadn't been born'" Instead, they withdrawing from social contact and want to be left alone. They say things like "My heart is aching so bad, I want it to stop. Life is hard. How does one become happy. Etc etc."


And I'M EXACTLY LIKE THAT

you're just going through teenage crisis but stay optimistic go out side meat people do a lot of hands on activities,turn off the TV keep your self busy..remember life is about experiencing and enjoying but also being great full for every second of it, these negative thoughts aint doing no good for you sis, so stand vigilant and face life as it comes. peace

Whoa, sometimes life is hard and sometimes your heart aches so obviously you'd want the aching to stop. It's normal to want to be alone sometimes (especially if you're an introvert) and no grown adult is happy all the time unless of course they are a simpleton with no responsibilities. All these things are normal it does not make you suicidal - these shows make people suicidal.

Life is full of ups and downs. The only time you need to feel concerned is if you start to believe that the good times will never come around again (even this is a normal reaction the first few days after a loved one passes away for example). It's all relative. I hope you were just typing away but if you were serious, snap out of it - people whose job it is to sit around during daytime will say anything or turn the most mundane things into "life-changing" bollocks.

Fear Allah, pray salah, no true muslim can be "depressed", everything is predecreed and is test from Allah be patient and make dua and be content with what Allah has given you. only a diseased heart with weak eeman can be suicidal.

well that can be taken as a severe nostalgic memories of your happy past haunting you in this stage of your life, but hear me out sis you are still i young lady with alot of potentials dont make a total wreck out of your self, thats if you are willing to dust your self off, and appreciate being alive more importantly.

[Siciid85]

Olive,
Do you pray? if no, start today and all the anxiety should start to ease up. The only other treatment is drugs but would not recommend it for the sake of your wellbeing.

I wish you well.

Unless you are a doctor or have studied neuropsychology I really don't see how you could confidently make such a statement.

Fair enough I guess I don't think that way

[SimplySerene]

Best advice I could give someone who see signs of depression is to tell them to deal with it now, as soon as possible before it escalates

-Communicate with others,could help resolve issues and problems you are struggling with
-spend time with family & friends
-Seek Knowledge on Life management skills ie search internet, join a class etc)
-Eat right and add nutrition to your diet which is good for the brain and body
-exercise provides endorphins, releases stress, helps with energy
-pray and build a connection with Allah(swt)

[hargaysaay]

[saacJabshee]

Hey listen to al baqarah or read 1 juz of quran a day. do this for a week i guarantee you these thoughts will go away. plus if you stay in doors too much these feeling will creep up on you. abayo you have everything to live for. i get strange feelings when i spend too much time on my own. QURAN is your only medicine.

[Sheikh Mustafa]

I think Waa Iska caadi abaayo. Gabdhaha have a lot of emotional and Pyschological Changes at the end of the Month. Waa iska the Moody Moody shit that comes with Caadada.

How about Listening to

[Anarchist]

I always find it interesting how Soomaalida are the first ones to run to the emergency room when they have a simple cold/flu, stomach aches, back pain, etc looking for treatment. But, for some strange reason choose to convince themselves & force on to others that the brain can not get ill. If a person can get treatment for insulin resistance/diabetes, why can't another person get treatment for depression? Both obviously have links to hormonal imbalances in the human body. Does a person suffering from asthma run to the Qur'an each time they have an asthma attack or reach for their inhalers? Does a diabetic about to go in to shock run off to the prayer mat or inject themselves with insulin?

The same way people don't choose to be diabetic or suffer from any other disease, nobody chooses to suffer from depression. Not sure what "snap out of it" or "go read Qur'an" has to do with anything. My only advice is to seek professional help. Don't make the mistake of self-diagnosis, and certainly don't make the mistake of taking advice from anyone on here. You may not even have depression, human emotions are fluid and are constantly changing depending on our personal situations. But, only a professional has the expertise to help you, not people who are clueless about human anatomy & physiology.
