I overslept and didn't get to see him. He was moved to the psych unit yesterday, where he's not allowed visitors for 3 days. But I know he's gonna live now.
How often do you think the average person thinks about suicide?
It is probably dependent upon why they are feeling that way ZAP. If someone is suicidal because they are HIV positive (just as an example), it could last for the rest of their lives. If someone else is suicidal because they temporarily come off their medication - it may be only a very short while.
I really couldn't tell you.
Thank you for the kind words and words of insight n3o and PiP.
I'm glad to hear your friend is alive and is going to get treatment.
Too many people struggle with suicidal behavior or ideation before getting treatment (if they ever receive it).

If you are thinking about suicide then it is clear that your meds aren't working. You really need to speak to your doctor about how you're feeling and tell them that what you're currently on isn't helping. You also need to remember that the way you're feeling right now is NOT going to last forever, you WILL get better and you WILL be happy again. As C.H said we've all been in these really dark places before and we've all come through it just fine, for the better, just like you will. Keep trying man, we're all here for you as well so please keep reaching out if you need help
