Story Time, Depression and Suicide Attempts!!

[@RachelEHill]

Thank you for sharing this and for being so candid with your stories. I commend you for your openness and hope it helps anyone in need. Most things are temporary and everyone has value, even if they dont see it in themselves. Much love!

Massive props to you for uploading a video like this, and huge congrats for coming out the other side, not everyone makes it through like you said. I agree to some degree about it being selfish, but I also see both sides of it. Obviously you pity the person who was going through that stuff, and you cant imagine what must have been going on in their lives to drive them to such a decision, but then once they're gone, they dont see the effect it has on the world around them. Family members and friends who would blame themselves. Theres a very fine line that you have to walk with this topic, between romanticising the idea and demonising it. You have to make people see how much it will affect other people without making them feel worse. Theres two quotes about suicide that always stuck with me. "Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem", and "Your life isnt yours to take, because you're not the one who'll miss it when its gone". Despite being from an episode of Sherlock I think that second one perfectly encapsulates the idea of it being a little selfish. To put your family through the trauma rather than seeking help for yourself. I sound like a totally horrible person there, like I'm blaming the victim but that couldn't be further from the truth. Like I said, theres a very fine line so topics like this have to be handled so carefully. Good video dude, fair play for being brave enough to post something like this :)

Appreciate it, my goal is to inspire people feeling this way to reach out and understand their is a light at the end of the tunnel, please share this around to anyone who you may think it will help.

I think many who commit suicide genuinely believe people would be better without them ultimately . ALso i think there is a class of suicide not related to depresssion but people in seeminly hopeless situations. Massive debts to loan sharks, living under threat suicide is only option.Pardon me barging into your conversation, i tend to type aloud. FOr so many it is purely a matter of perpspective. A shift in perspective would change their world. Its just making that leap. A good idea is to think outside the medical model. THere are strategies, frowned upon by conventionally psychology, that nevetheless can help tremendously. THought field therapy. Hypnotherapy and NLP. Talking therapies never get below the surface. THe major dilemma i have is that sometimes i am so incappciated, i cannot use what is immediately on my toolbelt.

im going through a terrible depression at moment, i attempted suicide a few weeks back, cutting my neck, wrists , i didnt hit an artery but had a minor stroke im 55 and ive had a life time of this. Although its nto healthy ive had a long term pain killer addiction. ive never used hard drugs. THis has helped keep me above that line between engaging with life and not engaging. THis year its been so bad, its like all the truths of my life have hit me. Even times when ive had online spats over silly stuff make me feel terrible. THe usual props arent working. When i was younger, I lived on hope. Just over 50 is not old by todays standards, but with the background i have It looks bleak. I had been retreating from life since my early 40s but the Covid thing definitely seems to have made a lot of people reclusive.( speaking 4 years after the fact)

[@SamBull]

Thank you for commenting, if I can share my story to help other people then my job is done. Really appreciate your comment. ❤️ Also if you want to know about my attempts and why tired, I also made a video on that. But have a great night.

[@JRP90]

Thank you for making this video man, I know how difficult it must've been!

[@SamBull]

It was definitely difficult, but it had to be said and shared so I can let other people who are feeling the same, especially in this current situation that their is a light at the end of the tunnel. Please share around with anyone that this will help, and thank you for commenting.

[@mikeyevolves]

well done mate, can see that was not easy at all. i can relate with you totally, and i totally get where you say you have learnt to handle ur emotions. I could crack at the drop of a hat 13 year ago. but time and self healing has kind of made me hard to it. like ive got no more cry left for it. can come across like there is lack of emotion but what peopl dont see is the hours and days and weeks that you have to fight it. fair play man. keep up good videos and if you wanna do a colab after all this isolation give me a message.

[@SamBull]

Thank you I'm just trying to share a message to say it's ok to ask for help. So really appreciate the comment, please share around to anyone who needs to here this right now.

[@johndoe-bx2bc]

Im going to be doing myself soon by hanging so any practical tips (only) welcome. Not a cry for help just done. I tried reaching out to my best friend and he dropped me like a sack of crap.

[@cezariuszreginia5300]

I'm in same boat but reach out to hospital ambulance anything I'm telling you this while not doing the same myself altho I've reach out already and in process of therapy but so fucking hard to be alive I Don't know if I'll make it past this day

[@MHWarriorTV]

[@nidgehampson9186]

[@C10-u8x]

It's c10 out here

[@nicholasmanning2011]

i hate my life so much!!! i want to die.

[@SamBull]

I get that feeling I really do, but you need to talk to someone and try and get help, if there was anything you should take away from my video is that it's ok to not be ok but you need to reach out and get help.
