Why do People intended to SUICIDE when in deep depression?

I can relate to this very much.I lost a friend yesterday the same way. And even now as my thoughts go back to him,Iam perplexed as to what mite had happened to make him so desperate enough to take his life?

That is such a horrible story and I can relate to you. I guess we will never know WHY, mybe he was deep down in depression and felt that there was no hope , or maybe he got caught up in nthe wrong crowd in college.

Darlin when you are in deep depression you no longer are in control of your life. I know this from experience, I have been there and through the Grace Of God, I survived. You see when you are that depressed you lose the most important thing that we humans can possibly lose, that is HOPE. If you lose your hope and have that lack of control, you just give up. You no longer even remember the good and happy times or good friends. It is an awful place to be, believe me. Luckily someone realized that I was in trouble, I still feel the Lord sent this person and I think of her as my guardian angel. She somehow made me realize that I really didn't want to die, infact I wanted more than anything I have ever wanted before, to live, and I am so thankful that I did. I with the help of professionals regained my hope and now own my own business, have written a book and had it published and I am enjoying my precious grandchildren so very much. I am sorry that your friend did not survive that terrible place, but it happens way more than we realize and unless your friend showed the signs of being in trouble, there is nothing anyone could have done. Sometimes we hold that kind of pain inside. Time will not take it away, but it will gradually buffer the pain of this loss. God Bless You. Take care, and never lose your hope.

we can say any definite answer to that but i think all of us have this limitation where we may give up the life of our own. i guess the stromg man you see back in college is one of his defence mechanism to fight the troubles of life and he came to a point whre these mechanism got mash up.

maybe he have a lot of problems he was going through and he couldnt handle it

human is a complicated creature , you cant explain his behavior depending on reasonable equations, as if we can say in the behavior if matters . my point is the answer of your why question is not easy as you think . but I am so sure if the time goes back , he would think twice before he do this . under certain circumstances the man may go ahead to do the wrong thing . so under depression , false decisions are taken . about your how question I think it is easy . the lesson we are all have to learn is the life is a second . my advice for all to find the real mean of happiness and the goal of his life. at the end if your friend for one second thought about those he have to lie for and forgot his despirate self , I think he wouldn't give up . thanks
