It may be hard to talk about suicidal feelings, and your friends and family may not fully understand why you feel the way you do. Reach out anyway, and make sure the people who care about you know what’s going on and are there when you need them.
Every relationship is faced with a challenge. This challenge is what makes the relationship strong and going on. The people who have mental problems shy from talking about it or meeting a counsellor. Reaching a point of losing your loved one to suicide is quite devastating.
It may seem like there’s no way to solve your problems and that suicide is the only way to end the pain. But you can take steps to stay safe and start enjoying your life again. Most people who commit suicide feel that this is the only available option to get out of what is bothering them.
Check out these signs in your partner before it gets worse;
1. Anxiety and restlessness
If your partner has been lacking sleep or seems restless, this is a sign of distress that can lead to a threat of killing themselves. Make sure you are keen on what they say and act accordingly.
2. Loss of interest
A person thinking of committing suicide will completely lose interest in what they once loved. The critical voice in them shows no future and there is no one who cares about them. They then withdraw from the activities they participated in. This is a cause of concern.
3. Strong mood swings
When you notice sudden happiness, moodiness followed by strong sadness, it is a sign that they have made up their mind. This would come after a long period of depression which is a major factor to suicide.
