Faces of Attempted Suicide #WorldSuicidePreventionDay | Men's Health UK

Just got news I got arthritis in my hands and’s everything else is going downhill. If I happen to do it. I’m sure a not would help relieve pain from others when I’m done

Weak.

I tryed to kill myself 2 days ago. Part of me want to talk about it everyone and the biggest part is just afraid and ashamed

Don't call Samaritans. It's a watchlist. Talk to strangers. Talk to the homeless. As humans, we need to connect. When we feel like we're at the bottom, we need people that we can relate to

Men and women suffer equally. I was brought up with the attitude as to shut up nothing is wrong with you (thanks mam) I don’t want to go into detail but I’ve tried a few times, thankfully I wasn’t successful.

What an idiotic video

When I attempted to take my own life my mum showed zero compassion and called me pathetic & selfish

It's nice to see some men try to heal up, most of them are still gonna have dark days, all they can do is mourn to a never empathizing world.

The reason why women appear to be more emotional is because for men in general they are told to tough up or show no emotions as if they are a weakness. its almost like society doesn't see men as humans with emotions it's so evil and twisted up. That's why men suicide is higher than women. We need to pay attention to both of the genders and give equal support to both of them if we don't want to fail men

As a palace fan who has also tried to take their own life the palace story hit home…

I'm me and want to now

And I thought Men's Health was only about increasing orgasm.

That car alarm going off throughout that background music would be enough reason for anyone to top themselves. . . . .

made an attempt 2 years ago. im better now. and happier than i have ever been 😊

Yes hard to tell anyone how you feel at times feel do think my life I do want feel thing are not rigth

Nobody cares.

I dis-agree entirely. I think it is more requiring of entities of our society who promote perfection to step in and say that there isn’t one they promote the best case scenario, but that doesn’t mean they don’t know it’s their consumers.

Your pain saddens me, the fact that you have pulled through gives hope and courage. Do not give up.

another face, copper rugby tackled me to the floor stopping from killing myself

I'm Schizophrenic was abused as a child, been depressed all my life, committed suicide tonnes of times, stabbed myself (was seriously close to death) drank bleach, took ricin poison but didn't know to use lie so just drank a load of acetate and castor beans, sliced my wrists so many time yadda yadda but what I realised at the ripe old age of 35 was that the majority of my problems are my fault and in my control. Our demons are mostly of our own design. Bo hoo my life is shit, the past that is, it doesn't control my present. WILL POWER overcomes all that shit, making your life better by incremental improvements and when you start trying to make your life better you are no longer a victim and you realise that most of your problems are your own fault, because all us depressed and all us with mental health problems have extreme self destructive tendencies. Understand that and just try to be better, stop drinking, stop doing shit. It worked for me.

Last week I was waiting for the train at my local station and a young man got onto the tracks and was walking down them, with a few minutes until the train came. I ran over to him and started talking to him, he was in a trance but I managed to get his name and kept talking to him, pleading with him to come up to the platform. After what seemed like an eternity he stopped on the tracks, I sat down at the edge of the platform and reached out for his hand and he took it. Other people on the platform helped to pull him up, and I held him in a heap on the platform, both of us shaking, and I kept telling him he was ok, he had done so well (to choose to keep living). The station staff took him away very quickly and I doubt I will ever see him again. I admire him so much - to be in the face of such aloneness and despair, to have death so close, and to choose to keep going, despite everything, I admire him very much. I am so grateful that he chose to live that day, and to stay in this world. I wish him recovery, and a life of joy and possibility, and I hope he knows that somewhere out there, there is a stranger who cares deeply for him.

Thank you to the people in this video for sharing your stories, and for showing that recovery is possible.

fucking failures.. lol..

Im going through this.. i will be 33 in august... feels like i wont make it

Cya later bros.

When you feel alone, you are aware that no one cares about you.

You’re right! But please accept a hand of compassion! A light in ones darkest hour is like the moon on a clean summers night.

Gaze up high into those heavens. Is that what you want to lose sight of? Not me 😢

Powerful strong men. I hope they’re all doing ok 💪🏻

Have you noticed that there are no women only men this is proof that women abuse to and we need to help us men more and not tell us to walk it of

Guys I’m an ex funeral director and have experienced many suicide funerals so please feel free to call out and contact me for a ‘general chat’ just to exchange experiences

"Talk to someone, talk to your loved one" - for the last 10 years ive been getting worse and worse, i know it i feel it, the only person in my life is my wife and she simply doesnt understand my problem. she never did, she trie, but she is simply not able to grasp it. i really have nobody else to talk to, i hate strangers and the thought of talking to somebody about those things almost makes me panic

No shit, we ruined it. There is no other way out in todays twisted fuck and dump anti family society. As a man you work so hard and only get shit on. It's broken, makes me want to go back to hunter gatherer times. But hey, birth control and feminisn really filling some pockets huh. Tinder ftw.

i hate when people call it selfish because people have to understand how it can distort your perception of reality to an almost delusional level sometimes it makes it impossible to consider others because you just lose that ability to connect and care but a lot of times it's actually coming from a place of caring too much this distorted perception makes you honestly believe it's an selfless act that you're doing this to help others to make their life better to save them pushing a loved one out of the way of the bus and letting it run you over instead because you honestly believe your existence is doing them more harm than good it's complete and utter bs but it feels real at the time. what's actually selfish is seeing a person in that much despair and agony to the point where they can't bear it and telling them they're selfish and they should just endure the pain for the sake of others instead of offering actual real support that might make life bearable

Been there, twice, failed twice. I admire people with the strength and courage to succeed.

Honestly a lot of money would fix all this.

I’ll be real, a man committing suicide is a bitch thing to do 🤷‍♂️ where is the masculine energy at? It doesn’t matter how hard things get things will always get better, if you’re a man taking the easy way out then what were you born as a man for? Some people have much bigger problems than you but you just resort to the easy way out and want my respect, no chance. I just made a video on all this and went in deep check it out stay blessed 🙏

To feel depressed to such a level you are thinking of ending it all is truly one of the worst things you can experience in life, it’s pure hell. Feeling deep despair and sleeping poorly, feeling agitated during the night awake in bed and with your stomach in knots, feeling great fear and self loathing, and feeling bad over things you’ve done, obsessive thoughts with your mind racing, its torture and if you aren’t sleeping well too it’s even worse

Lack of sunlight makes you depressed. Colder areas have higher suicide rates. Get UV exposure however you can.

„You become confident about not wanting to be here“ is nailing it

We need to listen to and support our young men x

My sympathy goes out to all those who need it and want it, but please stop using the "off the shelf" term, "mental illness". It's a complex issue but the term" mental illness" is not synonymous with suicide. Please do better.

Videos like these has been the reason I chose not to end my own life, and decide to reach out to get help.

Well I can tell my Mum but my Dad now he will just give me a look like 'Well my life's harder, I'm the bread winner'.

My time is getting nearer.

"man up", "don't be so overdramatic", "fuck you", those are the words that i heard from my "friends" when i said that i was tired and they have been witnesses to my mental decline. been doing a bunch of research of how to go in the most painless way, but luckily i have actual friends who helped for the past couple of months. find the right friend or the right person to talk to, it will help a bunch

I know exactly how this feels

Question ?
Anyone who talks about suicide and why people should not do it ,is the fact that you think no one loves you or you're a burden or no one will care and in fact everyone does .
But . What happens when you litterly have no one to the point you know you'll be one of those story's that contains people finally finding your decomposed body months later .

That's me .
