Jacob is planning on ending it.... And i dunno how to talk him out of it... anyone please help!?

BrightStarShining · 04-07-2008, 07:30 PM

Is there any way that you can see him?

If there is, see him and talk calmly to him, stay with him as long as possible and if he really is in danger, phone the crisis team or something.. Try talking to him calmly and asking why he wants to end it and give him reasons not to end it..

I'm sorry if this isn't much help,

I hope you and him are ok

take care

Just keep talking with him. And if need be take him to hospital to speak with someone.
You could also encourage him to call The Samaritans.

Both articles describe how you can best help a suicidal person.

Keep talking to him.
Let him know how much you care about him.
Samaritans are a good idea too.

*Hugs*

Im sorry to hear this. I hope that we can get some good community support going for any one on RYL who knew him. LeftforDeadintheDark do not blame yourself, it is not your fault. He probably really appreciated the support you gave him at the end. Please look after yourself now and get some support for your emotions and dealing with it if you need to.

Much love to all on hear who knew him.
