I read a quote somewhere that said, 'People who die from suicide don't want to end their life. They want to end their pain.' I think that's a reason.

Sadness, depression, loneliness and bad circumstances and negative atmosphere .. Or feeling that you're not good enough anymore

I'm not sure what this question means. But I had a brother who committed suicide almost 2 years ago, so I have more than general knowledge on this topic. I think instead of referring to suicidal people, we could talk to them more. I got laughed at once on a suicide hotline, and I'd rather help someone who is suffering than to refer them to peolle who might not be helpful. Time is everything and I can't turn someone away because it's about suicide.

Sadly, listeners here aren't trained to handle crisis, that is why listeners always refer people when they are suicidal, here are some resources for help related to suicide: 1-800-273-8255 www.imalive.org/ www.crisischat.org/ www.suicide.org/ suicidepreventionlifeline.org/GetHelp/ international-suicide-hotlines.html www.metanoia.org/suicide/ text "Start" to 741-741

suicide is nothing but a permanent solution for temporary problems. you can't go back once you do. so try and work things out instead

First of all, take a deep breath and know that you're not alone. You probably feel that way right now....but, truly, you're not. If you're suicidal, please reach out to individuals trained in crisis intervention. It might be that you need to go to a hospital to be safe. You might need to call a doctor or therapist. If you have family or friends who are safe, you could try them. If those options aren't available, you can go to suicide.org, call 1-800-273-8255, or text "go" to 741-741. If the information you need is not on the suicide.org site, using a search engine (such as google or bing) to locate the appropriate crisis contacts will give you many resources.

Suicide chat rooms would really not be a good idea. usually these persons are under tremendous emotional strain and are only going to be there to weigh one another down. Under cases of suicide emergency lines are the only hope. And furthermore special attention and treatment to be considered

I would tell them that they should not only think of themselves but how it would affect everyone around them including their parents. Their parents would be devastated and their friends would be traumatized. So they need to think if they want that to happen to everyone they love or that is around them.

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. I have been in that position more than once before. I am so glad that it didn't work. You might fell stuck and alone right now but let me tell you that you aren't. It mighty be storming now but it can't rain forever.

Being with people who are suicidal when you yourself are can be very dangerous. It may seem better to be with people who can understand but please seek help from a healthcare provider and keep safe by limiting your access to means. Then consider calling a hotline, a list can be found at suicide.org

Some good resources are www.crisischat.org and www.imalive.org! They're text-based chats just like 7 Cups.

1-800-273-TALK or 1-800-SUICIDE are both really good sites to use upon being suicidal, or even having suicidal thoughts or urges.

You could call a hotline or talk to someone close to you. If you are feeling down maybe you need an outlet. You could try writing something or drawing.

The World Health Organization estimates that approximately 1 million people die each year from suicide. What drives so many individuals to take their own lives? To those not in the grips of suicidal depression and despair, it's difficult to understand what drives so many individuals to take their own lives. But a suicidal person is in so much pain that he or she can see no other option. Suicide is a desperate attempt to escape suffering that has become unbearable. Blinded by feelings of self-loathing, hopelessness, and isolation, a suicidal person can't see any way of finding relief except through death. But despite their desire for the pain to stop, most suicidal people are deeply conflicted about ending their own lives. They wish there was an alternative to committing suicide, but they just can't see one.

http://www.suicide.org/international-suicide-hotlines.html this one has a lot of sources to go to, though you should probably send them direct links to where they are from so they can't reconsider, finding their help line.

Look for community groups. They have those where people meet to talk about that. Or even online, like here :)

I don't know what resources would be good for a suicide chat room. People who commit suicide rarely tell anyone they are going to do it and if someone is going to do it they will find a way.

For people who are looking to seek help in the suicide chatroom. they need a light at the end of their tunnel of despair which can be a friend or simply just someone who simply cares also the suicide hotline is always available to anyone who may need it.

I do think that they need people who will listen, they should be in a stress free environment... no?

having a suicide chat room would be a great idea, as most of the time what cause one to lead up to the point of committing suicide is going to all their dark phases of life and not having anyone to talk with or share no form of empathy with them and since 7cups is all about providing active listening to person that need a listening ears I will strongly agree on the suicide chat room.
