According to statistics, a third of adolescents and a quarter of adults think about suicide. There are a number of signs that indicate a person is experiencing suicidal tendencies.
Desire to be alone. It happens that a person loves to communicate, leads an active lifestyle, goes in for sports and creativity. Let's just say, is a prominent representative of extroverts. But after a while it changes a lot. She withdraws into herself, does not want to see friends, does not seek to communicate with relatives. Perhaps something very unpleasant happened in his life, and now he wants privacy. If you notice this with a familiar person, talk to his relatives to prevent big trouble.
Prolonged depression. In this case, a person spends almost all the time alone with himself. He does not want to communicate with people, does not leave the room, does not answer calls. At the same time, a person is not busy with important matters, he just sits still and looks at one point, his thoughts are filled with negativity. Constant absent-mindedness reduces academic performance and productivity at work.
Death humor. A person can continue to lead an active life, communicate with friends, study, work. However, his sense of humor changes dramatically. He starts talking and joking a lot about death. If this happens once, it's okay. When a person constantly communicates on such topics, it is time to sound the alarm.
Appearance. If a girl has always looked after herself, dressed neatly, styled her hair, and now forgets to wash her hair and clean her shoes, this is a sign that she is in prolonged depression, which can cause suicidal thoughts.
Dependencies. If a person abuses alcohol, smokes a lot, uses drugs, then he cannot cope with his thoughts and is trying to escape reality, and not solve serious problems.
Kindness after aggression. When a person breaks down on loved ones and others, and after a while surprises everyone with his generosity and calmness, one should not think that this person has calmed down. In contrast, giving generous gifts and showing kindness after a bout of aggression can be seen as a gesture of goodbye before committing suicide.
At this moment, you cannot leave the person alone, it is better to seek help from a psychologist.
