Thoughts about suicide are expressed by about a third of teenagers of secondary school age and a quarter of the adult population of the planet. The question arises, how do suicidal tendencies manifest themselves? There are a number of signs indicating a person’s proximity to suicide.
The desire for solitude
The isolation of a person and his unwillingness to communicate with friends and family may indicate the emergence of thoughts of suicide. If previously a person was sociable and liked to meet people, was engaged in active sports, creativity and was distinguished by extravertivity, he could not change without a reason. Consequently, a misfortune occurred in his life, pushing him on the path of suicides. To prevent this, you need to be interested in the reasons for the privacy of acquaintances. A clear distinction should be made between temporary sadness and fatal isolation.
Lingering depression
This is the next step after solitude. A person goes on, stops leaving the house, does not answer calls. He does not want to see people, so he spends most of his time in one room. However, he can do nothing at all. Apathy makes him look at one point and constantly think about the bad. A person becomes distracted, as a result of which his performance at work or at school is reduced.
Black humor
Suicidal tendencies are manifested not only in the form of sociopathy. A person can continue to communicate with friends, attend work or a place of study, but something breaks down in him. He begins to talk about death or joke about it. At first, this can be attributed to a bad day, but if such jokes continue for a long time, this should cause concern. Irony and humor become redundant when a person reaches the stage of readiness to leave for another world.
Change in appearance
We are talking about such a manifestation of suicidal tendencies as launching one’s appearance. If earlier the girl looked after herself, dyed, did hairstyles, now she can forget about the simplest personal hygiene. A person systematically “forgets” to wash his hair or comb his hair, change his clothes, and wash his shoes. This symptom speaks not only of a depressed state, but of a serious manifestation of suicidal thoughts.
Alcohol abuse
Drinking alcohol, using drugs, and frequent smoking - all this indicates the presence of a serious problem in a person. He tries to cope with his thoughts with the help of rejection of reality, stupefying himself with psychotropic substances.
