Suicide Today, let me tell you a crucial observation I've found out about suicide. If you have ever, at the slightest period in your life, thought of committing suicide at some particular lowest periods of your life, then you should quickly start putting a mental health system in place in your life. Suicide would first flash through your mind in the quickest of ways. It will first come as that quick option, to which you will dismiss it immediately. Now, you will dismiss the thought faster, because you believe your situation isn't worth "considering the option of suicide" . . Until that period where everything crumbles. Nothing works Everyone leaves Financial life down Love down Meaning and purpose down. . . That's when suicide will flash through your mind again, and this time, based on the current phase you are in, your mind would start factoring it as a possible option. And in this phase, you might have already isolated yourself away from people around you. So as you are deliberating the option of suicide, you are doing so in extreme isolation and inside thinking. Giving yourself reasons why that option might be the best And unfortunately, no one is around to give second opinions. So each passing day, the option of suicide becomes more grounded as the best choice. . . Now, at this phrase, you will enter a state of aggressively justification. To take your own life, isn't an easy thing. Your brain naturally protects you from harm. So for you to now consciously harm yourself, it means you would have to sit your brain down and lecture it on why suicide is best for both of you. By aggressively justifying the act. . . For instance, You brain would say "But people care about you" You would say "No one has checked up on me for the past 24 days" Your brain would say "But your work pays you well and you can buy what you want" You would say "I am not fulfilled doing the job anyways. I'm not happy in the workplace" Your brain would counter again and say "But your children love you so much" You would say "My mother would take care of them, when I leave" . . . So your brain now works with that lecture, drops all it's coping mechanisms and defence strategies, and enters a state of compliance. . . . At this stage, the person is a walking dead. They have made up their mind and it's now a matter of when. It takes a very strong pull to remove them from this state. A very strong consideration. . . . The best stage to help out is the stage where they are still lecturing their brain. When they are still trying to justify the act. That's the best time to influence their thoughts and make them change their mind. . . . Now, if you are at a stage or you've been at that stage of lecturing your brain on why suicide might be an option, then you really need to see a mental health professional.
