Someone was having thoughts of suicide and they called the hotline, or 911, or whatever is out there, would they get locked up and evaluated by the coocoo doctors?

Or would they genuinely talk to you without calling in some kind of force and have you detained?

We have a number available here where I work that's for things like that.

But in any case, it ain't worth even thinking about man. Suicide is a petty, childish way out of a bad position. You're stronger than you think you are! If you've got stuff to talk about, by all means let it out. I can almost guarantee you it's nothing that someone (if not alot of us) here have already battled and beaten at some point.

Just guessing, but I think if you called 911 saying you had thoughts of suicide they would dispatch an ambulance and take you to the psch. ward at the hospital for evaluation.

i know here if you called 911 they may well Baker Act you in which case they would take you for observation/evaluation.

find a support group or a therapist or something that can get you moving the right direction.

watched a thing on people that jumped off the golden gate bride and lived, every single one of them said the very moment they jumped they realized what a terrible terrible decision theyd made over things that were ultimately temporary and despite the injuries from the jump were glad they made it

Bro...

No woman, or situation, whatever it is, is worth suicide. I don't know your situation or if we are even talkin' about you, but at any rate, family, friends, clergy, counselors are there. The Air Force always talks about being each other's wingman - dude we are all here to be your wingmen.

Even when things are there darkest - there is always a light. I got stories to tell but this ain't the time or place. Just lettin you know - take a deep breath, think things through, you'll find that one person or persons that you can count on and they'll get you, or whoever, through whatever is goin' down. This is comin' from a 53 year old that has seen a lot of stuff go down over the years, both personally and with other family and friends.

I just read an article about the topic today which included the following:
"If you are in crisis, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255). They have trained counselors available 24/7 to provide free, confidential help. "

...

Everyone's situation is different, but we all have struggles and challenges. It is said that calm winds make a bad sailor. Trials help us learn and grow. Pray, talk to God about your struggles. He understands and listens. Talk to your parents, counselors. You can overcome, it can get better.

I wouldn't do It. I'm in an extremely up and down emotional roller coaster and there are days where I think that it would be better without me here.

Every friend it hi talk to about it somehow manages to get it back to my wife and she gets pissed. I take a step forward and get knocked on my *** again because people cant just keep it to themselves.

I only have my therapist to talk to and I see him once once a week. I need someone in between to talk to but I don't.

Her parents love me to death but I don't want to tell them the entire story.

They are NOT your friends, they come as wolves dressed in sheeps clothing. This is between you and her...any actual help needs to come from a professional What a truly inspirational story Walrus chose to share and my heart goes out to him and his family. The meaning of life is happiness, the hard part is figuring out what MAKES you happy. If it is with her or without, you are responsible for YOUR happiness, do not try and carry her burden as well, she is responsible for it, NOT YOU!! Stay strong and we are here for you and I promise, it will NOT get back to her

[Mach828]

Even if you just need someone to talk to, I agree on calling the hotline above. You don't have to be at the breaking point to call, just give them a ring and vent out some of the things on your mind through an unbiased person who can understand and relate to what you are going through. Stay strong buddy, there is always a way out that includes living and a better life. Its just hard to see it when you are going through depressing times. A lot of people have battled and overcome something that at the time, they thought it might defeat them. You can do it!

21 yrs ago, my 1st wife, "my best friend, the love of my life", left me for another man. I had some stupid thoughts, said some stupid things. I grasped at everything I could to have a reason to continue on with life. A buddy of mine looked at me one day and said, 'regardless of what I do remember one thing. You ll be in hell and she ll be here doing the same thing she is doing now. So, who is it really hurting?' Those words hit me in the face like a convoy of tractor trailers.

Regardless of what she does you have something I didnt. A beautiful daughter that needs her daddy. I have....had a friend who committed suicide 8 days before Christmas last year. His daughter doesnt want a wedding bc hes not here to give her away. We are still picking up the pieces. There are times Im mad as hell at him and times I wish I could turn on the PS3 and play a game of Ghost with him.

Plenty of people here if you need to talk to someone. Theres also the # in the post above you can call.

If someone was that bad off and called 911 they're looking for attention.

Not saying much ,but I know off two people that did it and never showed any signs. One drugs, the other off bridge into traffic. Sucks , but some people just get pushed that hard by life and can't handle it. I've been pushed hard, my ex took my 99 cobra, that should say enough right there, but she **** on me the week my grandmother pasted , wouldn't even talk about it. Started dating a douchbag English guy. She made me stop believing in me as any life sucking ex would do. at the time when I went to the dark places, I thought she took my youth ! 12 wasted years....now I'm 33 , kept my dog and house and have a smoking hot loving 22 year old woman that treats me better than I ever thought I could be treated by anyone. I've lost over 40 pounds, first through depression, then self improvement. The only person to make me happy is me. Thats what I learned. No one can make you truly happy IMO , you have to make and remake yourself for this to happen, then and only then will things start to go right in your life.

Still mad about the 99 cobra though and the both traded
