Let me share a true life story, in 1983, at age 7 that was the first time the closest person to me then died of Suicide… Then I never knew what it is all about, but growing older year in year out, I miss him daily but kept it with me never told anyone for over 36years until you reading it now … I tried never to allow the negative thought come into me as I develop positivity in all situations I found my self in life. Although, it might affect me but for a while, I have over the years learn to put my trust in God alone even when looking up to men as the one God will send your way… And when they failed you which of course they would especially the ones closer to you that you loved so much and respected a lot to Share your creative ideas with thinking they would support your dreams of becoming someone to be reckon with in life – Don’t give up, for it is only our loved ones that can hurt us To the bone marrow. So being in such situations severally, have learnt to forgive and move on.

CAUSES & SYMPTOMS
There are several causes of Suicidal thoughts. Usually, when you are faced with an overwhelming Life Situation and the feeling of you not able to cope with it or move on sets in, the resultant effect is Depression which Might led to Suicidal Thoughts and later on Suicide when it’s fully blown with no one to help with the right words of encouragement and hope.

If you don’t have hope for the future, you may mistakenly think suicide is a solution. You may experience a sort of tunnel vision, where in the middle of a crisis you believe suicide is the only way out.

Some school of thought linked genetic to suicide. People who complete suicide or who have suicidal thoughts or behavior are more likely to have a family history of suicide i.e. if anyone in your family or blood line have committed suicide in the past there is possibility of you being affected.
