Do people who attempt suicide do it to prove something? To show people how bad they feel and to get sympathy?
They don’t do it necessarily to prove something, but it certainly is a cry for help, which should never be ignored. This is a warning to people that something is terribly wrong. Many times people cannot express how horrible or desperate they’re feeling – they simply cannot put their pain into words. There is no way to describe it. A suicide attempt must always be taken seriously. People who have attempted suicide in the past may be at risk for trying it again and possibly completing it, if they don’t get help for their depression.
