I’m so sorry for your loss, although it will never be the same, go and make her proud of you. I lost a friend that was my main support in March 2020 to brain tumour, and I can’t but get over it. It is not impossible to get over
I am sorry so sorry to hear. I'm reaching out to u because ima mum to 2 9lder kids, both married and don't have anything to do with me. It has broken my spirit completely. Do u think my suicide could affect them badly in anyway, even tho they don't want anything to do with me?
@@batyahel-chai6120---I know that suicide would affect them badly. No doubt they may feel regret and shame at the failed relationship, but most of all suicide takes away any opportunity to make reparations. I hope you take the opportunity to reach out to them, and to get help with thoughts of suicide you might be having.
Nice job Kirk. I will always have wonderful thoughts of your family. I am so sorry that you and your parents had to go through all of this. Losing Kyle and Kendra has to have been heart-wrenching. I think many in your position would place blame on themselves. I sure hope that you do not. Kyle wouldn't have wanted that. I hope that you continue these lectures. You are helping people for sure. Thank you for sharing. Betsy.... (from your hometown)
Even someone suicidal does not necessarily have a desire to die. And they still have a real fear of death. That should say something about the extent of their suffering.
Many people leave others by suicide because they have been left alone by everybody a long time ago. Properly caring for each other isn't rocket science. Yet we don't learn the simplest basics in school. Instead we learn how to solve crossword puzzles with knowledge that usually serves a few% of the class.
Absolutely right. It doesn't take much to just reach out to someone or be kind. So many people are longing for friendship or connection and no one gives a ****.
Thank you so much for having the strength to share your experience and talk openly about this topic. I lost my entire family because of my fears for my , then 11 year old sister, who attempted to take her life. I blamed my parents because I was once I her shoes & felt the loneliness came from their style of parenting. The police intervened and social survives. I feel responsible too honestly. I don’t know if she ever got the help she deserves but I applaud your strength and your passion to prevent these types of events from happening. I feel like everyone blames someone because no one knows what to do or say & it is terrifying to even imagine losing a person close by suicide attempts. This has helped me to realize my part and I hope and pray more people are able to hear this message and become the help or get the help they need. Thank you from the depths of my soul. 🙏🏽
Yeap. They say they should’ve everytime,but didn’t.Its because of self centered personality traits.The survivors want to maintain being self centered but don’t even realize it!! Think about the nerve of doing all that talking after the fact. Stop being self centered,and fricken realize it. Talk to people that are hurting. Talk to them. Now!! That’s while you have time. Not later. Now.
Please don’t go through with it. Please get help. I don’t know you, but I care about you. Stay. Life is tough, but it’s worth it. Find something that gives your life meaning. Maybe adopt a dog or a cat. I lost my mother in February, and it’s been awful. I’ll never be the same. Please choose life.
I’ve been where you are and still at that part but you can win this battle. I’ve been fighting for almost a decade now and there has been times I wanted to take my life but always when I’m about to do it my body tells me ‘try one more time’ I know you are sick of one more times but it’s okay. Try again ‘stop surviving start fighting’ keep on fighting and you will win this battle but only if you have hope in this. You can’t give up now, life is to short so make the most of it when you still can.. Just try one more time
Hey David- I hope things are better for you now. This is a difficult time for so many people. There is help out there, and it’s more accessible than ever with telehealth options.
DON'T!!!! A very close relative of mine had to have stomach pumped out & given charcoal liquid. Before I left the hospital I asked the MD what the prognosis was, & he just stared at me. She took a lot of pills (OTC) She was discharged the next day. She's still alive & taking meds. Please get help at your local church, salvation Army, social workers & tell your close friends,relatives or support group at a hospital. There are medications that decrease ruminating thoughts.
The problem is that even if you reach out and you do get help, once you have been smitten by feeling your inner void and emptiness, there is nothing that really helps. You will be taken to Psych ER, your kids will know about, your young kids will be bewildered, you will look like a crazy, be locked up for two weeks, and in religious congregation you will be looked at as just ... well ... weird.
Help is of course possible. Doesn't mean anybody will actually do it. And yes, the wrong approaches are abundant. But there often are good courses of action. The right training and the right knowledge can go a long way.
People who look down with disdain on those with suicidal ideation should take a trip to the local morgue & view a 16 y.o. who was in the throes of despair & decided to end it all. The stigma has to GO!! People who are depressed may turn to drugs, alcohol, & other addictions/distractions(this behavior only exacerbates the underlying mental/personality disorder. Perhaps the whole family dynamic is faulty & they all need family therapy. The brain is an organ with many intricate parts especially those dealing with emotions.(amygdala, etc ) I can't fit anymore words here. Donna Leone, R.N.
Some of these suicide are talks are a little tough in regards to the intervention piece. When they say maybe someone could have been saved had you done this. What if you did all the things and they still did it? It makes me think some are not preventable. ❤❤❤
Extremely valuable and helpful Ted Talk. I feel much more comfortable asking the right questions if someone I know is feeling suicidal.
Thank-you Kristin for the recommendation to watch this presentation. Agreed, very helpful.
Screw your world
It would be nice to be able to watch it!!!
Thank you for this talk. I lost my mother in February to suicide. I’ll never be the same.

Thank you Betsy! I hope you are well.
He goes for 6 months without speaking to his brother but when he’s gone he thinks about him everyday. Why do people have to die to be missed
Because everyone has their own problems and life. It's hard to know when somebody needs help if they don't tell you anything.
@@alfredoosorio2599 its mental problems mostly, do u agree?
@@Guys_Love_Each_Other agree
@@alfredoosorio2599 I want to understand which things can improve my mental health, do you know any method which can help me?

How many of us watching this are in a desperate way ? Deeply depressed?
@@klanderkal Yes I am. It’s difficult to be struggling
@@klanderkal I’ve not worked in absolutely years, so don’t feel too bad about losing a career if you have . What else is getting you down?
Thank you Kirk , brave man
I attempted suicide on November 13th 2021. I still haven't gotten help to stop my thoughts of suicide. Maybe in January 2022. If I can last that long.
Please don’t go through with it. Please get help. I don’t know you, but I care about you. Stay. Life is tough, but it’s worth it. Find something that gives your life meaning. Maybe adopt a dog or a cat. I lost my mother in February, and it’s been awful. I’ll never be the same. Please choose life.

@@donnaleone9895 Medication doesn't help. Since the pills didn't kill me I may try another way.

suicidal experts know how suicidal mindset works
he never asked his brother.... but know he learned
How do I get beyond this F'n panel, to watch the video? WOW!!!
Suicide is complex
Very true. And so are the reasons we avoid having conversations about suicide.
Less speaking, more doing !
He made a grave error that many have.

only thing stopping me is having my question why answered

Do they go to heaven?
Sounds like you could use a few more reasons
It ain’t easy bein cheesy
