[QUOTE="Vince Carter, post: 135551, member: 2657"] Ive sat in on too many suicide awareness briefs from all of my military service, and one thing that is ever present is that it's entirely normal to feel down, be depressed, or even think that the world would be better off without you. The break point in that is it prolonged? Do you actually formulate a method and make a plan to carry it out? That point is where the crisis begins. Too I've been taught to not ask because they tell you to ask directly, "are you thinking of killing yourself?"...ask it differently as few people want to die, they want the pain to stop. So when you ask "Are you going to hurt yourself", you can get a more open to help kind of response. Too be aware of those that seem to be giving away important material things. This is a sign of a plan having been developed. Lastly, Be keenly aware of someone that has been depressed that is suddenly feeling better or acting better or more tranquil. This is a serious red flag in that the tranquility is achieved because the decision has been made, a plan made, and they feel "better" because they have their way out. Note how many post-suicides where friends and family report that everything was fine with the person in the days and week leading up to the act. [/QUOTE]
