“Stress” is a well-known contributor to mood, mental disorders, and suicide risk. Stress is a term often used synonymously with negative life experiences, or life events. Negative life events conferring risk for depression, suicidal thinking, and behavior, includes interpersonal, occupational, and traumatic childhood events. Trauma, especially childhood trauma, has significant short and long-term impact on risk for suicidal behavior. Specifically, child abuse (emotional, sexual, and physical), parental death, parental mental illness, and witnessing domestic violence during childhood have all been linked to suicidal behavior, both acutely, and over longer time intervals.
Interpersonal life event also increase risk for suicidal behavior. Parental or spousal death, serious arguments with a spouse, and social "exit events" (e.g. a child leaving home) have been linked to suicide attempts among adults, while parental separation and relationship break-ups have been linked to suicide among adolescents and young adults. The interpersonal events most relevant to suicidal behavior appear to be those involving loss or conflict in existing interpersonal relationships, rather than simple social isolation.
I am almost perfectly isolated by my environment and sometimes I become very stress. And knowing that stress could lead to suicide, I decide to take a vacation, even though it is not holiday yet. My destination is BALI!!! I just can’t wait. I am not sure if I could update my blog, but I will try!
Suicidal thinking have not appear in my mind until now, and I know that my life will just getting better and better. Until now, I haven’t do anything from my “To Do Lists” but I WILL SURELY become a better person.
Maybe, you have this issue come up to your life or someone who you really cares about, please at least read this prevention guide.
· Distance yourself from any means of suicide. If you are thinking of taking an overdose, give your medicines to someone who can give them to you one day at a time. Remove any dangerous objects or weapons from your home.
· Avoid alcohol and other drugs of abuse.
· Avoid doing things you're likely to fail at or find difficult until you're feeling better. Know what your present limits are and don't try to go beyond them until you feel better. Set realistic goals for yourself and work at them slowly, one step at a time.
· Make a written schedule for yourself every day and stick to it no matter what. Set priorities for the things that need to be done first. Cross things out on your schedule as you finish them. A written schedule gives you a sense of predictability and control. Crossing out tasks as you complete them gives a feeling of accomplishment.
· In your daily schedule don't forget to schedule at least two 30-minute periods for activities which in the past have given you some pleasure such as: listening to music, playing a musical instrument, meditating doing relaxation exercises, doing needlework, reading a book or magazine, taking a warm bath, sewing, writing, shopping, playing games, watching your favorite DVD or video, gardening, playing with your pet, participating in a hobby, taking a drive or a walk.
· Take care of your physical health. Eat a well-balanced diet. Don't skip meals. Get as much sleep as you need, and go out for one or two 30-minute walks each day..
· Make sure you spend at least 30-minutes a day in the sun. Bright light is good for everyone with depression, not just people with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
· You may not feel very social but make yourself talk to other people. Whether you talk about your feelings or about any other topic, reducing your social isolation is likely to be helpful.
· Remember that while it may feel as if it will never end, depression is not a permanent condition.
Love Your Precious Life, Love Yourself!
