How to show people i'm not suicidal anymore?

Question

Well, i was going through a really deep depression and was suicidal. I was hurting the people around me, and couldn't take it anymore. I sat down with some close friends and talked out my situation, and after this little pow wow my outlook on life changed. I no longer feel the need to hurt myself or any of my loved ones anymore, but no matter what i say people don't believe me. How can i show them that i really have changed, and no longer feel the need to hurt myself?

Answer 1

If they're really your friends they should believe you.  I guess you did so much that they are having too hard of a time trusting you.  Tell them that as your close friends they should believe you and that you really are no longer suicidal.  Thank them for what they did to help you perhaps by taking them out to eat or to a movie or something.

Answer 2

Be positive and live like what you consider non suicidal.

Answer 3

Time and action.  I'm really glad that you have a good support system with your friends and wish you the best.

Answer 4

Don't worry about what they think. just be happy.

Answer 5

The best way is by staying alive. Over time people will come to realize that your feelings about suicide have passed.

I'm SO glad!!

Answer 6

actions speak louder than words

Answer 7

Laugh at them and tell them they're stupid to think that. Brag about being like that and coming out of it and tell them that if they would've been in that situation they might have actually done it, but you didn't.

It may not be true, and it may be cocky and arrogant, but it will help, i guarantee it.

Bye

Answer 8

Don't worry about what others say.  Your actions over time will tell the story.  Good luck and peace to you.

Answer 9

I have spent many years trying to understand these destructive thoughts and feelings.It would have been so much more helpful if you could have disclosed the cause of these emotions and how a pow wow with friends brought about this supposed instant return to normality.

In my experience these situations only serve to suppress and not to cure.Please seek out someone with some experience in this field and have a "pow wow" with them to establish whether the emotion is truly "fixed" or is indeed only suppressed.These feelings and emotions tend to be more complex than you realise, especially if you are susceptible to peer pressure.A professional could determine whether its more long term than you realised or, nothing at all to worry about.Please don't be too complacent.I may sound over concerned but I had someone very close to me that though it would just go away,but it didn't.please give it some thought.
