No, this ain't about the movie. This, dear readers is about something far more serious and important! Something that needs to be spoken about in the open!
Do Not close the tab or window you are on. You may not be suicidal, but this may help someone else. So, read on.
Talking about suicide is tough all around the world, but especially here in our country, where every damn thing is 'taboo' it is even harder to deal with! It will, most likely, be swept under the carpet. People are scared to admit what goes in their head. If someone with suicidal tendencies talks about it, they will only be ridiculed more and be labled a coward.
Is that the way we deal with someone who is already depressed? Not just depressed,but depressed to the point of killing themselves!
Suicide is not exclusive to adults, in fact, such tendencies start at a young age.
Parents, listen up! The way you treat your children affects them mentally! There is a big difference between discipline and abuse. You don't have to punch and hit them with something or make them bleed to make them understand. You are only making it worse! They will live in fear and when they grow up that is how they will treat their own families.
Even worse, how you treat them, also determines their self confidence. It may lead them to feel unloved which is disastrous for a young kid. And for a teenager it might lead to alcohol & drug abuse, self-mutilation and eventually thoughts about suicide.
As it is, peer pressure, bullying from school mates & friends and sometimes teachers too drive them to being lonely!
Growing up in today's world is tough!!
Feeling worthless is not a very good feeling. It does things to you. It messes with your mind, with your Psyche! Everyone in this world wants to be accepted and loved! That is the human nature, that's what the heart yearns for.
Depression aint pretty! It's sick! It can change your whole outlook towards life!
On the other hand, children prone to abuse can become bullies in schools & colleges and can affect other kids and force them into depression which might lead to suicide.
Talk to your kids, siblings, friends. Tell them you love them. Show it. Talk to them about what goes on at their school/ college/ workplace. What troubles them, why they've decided to stick to their rooms, why they've been gloomy all of a sudden.
Pay attention to the subtle signs of suicidal thoughts.
Talking or joking about committing suicide.
Saying things like, “I’d be better off dead,” “I wish I could disappear forever,” or “There’s no way out.” "My family will be better off without me"
Writing stories and poems about death, dying, or suicide
Do not hesitate to talk about suicide.
An important way to prevent suicidal behaviour is to prioritize interacting with your child in positive ways. Some times we get into a sort of destructive cycle with a child. The child does something concerning; the parent gets critical; the kid does something more concerning; the parents get more upset. All interactions turn contentious.
So choose your battles wisely with your kid. It's part of normal development for adolescents to rebel, and you need to pick what you're going to set limits about, and the rest of the time you want to focus on the positive connections.
Your goal as a parent is to reassure struggling kids that they won't feel like this forever, and you can help do this by promoting positive experiences. When kids feel suicidal it's often because they feel hopeless and can't imagine things being better. Love and patience is the only way you can help them.
For those people who commit suicide because the person they love has dumped them, or have started treating them wrong! You cannot ever let anyone in this world; no matter how close they are to you, make you feel like you're not important! If that's how they behave, then it was never meant to be. They do not deserve you! Move on. You have better in store for you! The world never will end unless you decide to end it for yourself!
Think about what pain and devastation you will be leaving behind for your family & friends!
You are precious! Your life is precious! #onelife
Keep pressing forward fearlessly! The sun eventually will shine through the night! Through the dark clouds, through the storms, through the devastation!
An when it does, you will know life like never before!
It's easy to talk about all this and not actually endure??
Yeah! It is not just hard but bloody tough! But guess what! It ain't impossible!
"How would you know?" you ask me?!
I know cause I've been there! Endured! Fought it! And here I am telling you about it, thanks to The Lord who helped me persevere! I did not have any friends to help me through it back then! If you need someone to talk to, feel free to send me a message and I will guide you to the right person if I can't help you out myself.
Peace out!
