Suicidal thoughts

Thoughts are precious. They elicit actions. Actions become destiny. So thoughts are in many ways connected to destiny. What is someone is having problem with thoughts that are suicidal in nature? What if this person is constantly pre-occupied with remorse and feelings of morbidity? How does one help to deal with it?

Suicidal thoughts are different from thoughts of dying. A thought can be termed as suicidal if it is on the brink of carrying over itself into action. Depressed people, and people with incurable diseases and so on do have thoughts of committing suicide…but they are not fully suicidal thoughts. This is because those are just thoughts about committing suicide, but suicidal thoughts is actually the thought-process that goes into planning to kill oneself.

What are the symptoms of suicidal thoughts?
- People who are depressed will get these thoughts. Depressed people curb themselves into a self-made cocoon. This cocoon creates an environment of severe self-criticism, fatal-introspection, and enormous amounts of negative energy. So remember, the first step to help a depressed person is to tear the person away from the cocoon.
- Substance abuse like taking to heavy alcoholism and doing drugs. People who live life with heavy drinking and taking drugs are sure to end their lives in a hurry…themselves.
- Sudden inexplicable loss of weight, appetite, interest in activities that otherwise might have interested this person.

Treatment
- Get the person out of the rut. If this person is into chronic alcoholism or drug addiction, then you can help this person get admitted to a rehabilitation center. Rehabs nowadays have become more holistic with regard to treatment, in that they have even counseling sessions.
- Take the assistance of a medical practitioner. The doctor will prescribe anti-depressants to tame down morbid thoughts. Suicidal thoughts that are very intense will be needing hospitalization or some kind of preventive custody by which the suicide could be prevented
- Spiritualism is a great way to heal a person with chronic and morbid suicidal thoughts. Spiritualism embraces the art of living in imperfection. It introduces purpose and reason in human existence. Take this person to Sunday school, church, or prayer summits.
