UNDERSTANDING SUICIDE AND SUICIDAL IDEATION


Getting Started

Worried in case you or a friend — or someone you know may be going through episodes of depression that make them contemplate suicide thoughts? You may note feelings of hopelessness with them. These are manifestations of clinical depression or bipolar. You could also be feeling trapped by situations and people.

What suicide is:

 Suicide is intentionally ending one’s life, mainly to escape from harsh living and lived situations and experiences. This could be from feelings of being trapped in a situation that feels inescapable. It also arises when people feel burdensomeness and belongingness. 
Studies have shown that people who struggling with abandonment and sexual assault are highly linked with the feelings and attempts for suicide.
 Unprocessed childhood experiences and trauma can be a risk factor for suicidal Ideation, Attempts And Completed Suicide. 
Suicide is one of the leading causes of death among young people globally. 
• University students are a particularly vulnerable group due to academic pressure, social transitions, financial struggles, and mental health challenges. 
• Sensitization is crucial to break stigma, encourage open conversations, and promote early help-seeking

WHY YOU AS UNIVERSITY STUDENTS ARE AT RISK

Campus live comes with a lot of pressure from different spheres of student’s life ranging from personal, family, societal and neighborhood to institutional demands and expectations.

• Academic Pressure – exams, deadlines, competition.

 • Transition & Identity Struggles – moving away from family, adjusting to independence, finding one’s purpose. • Mental Health Challenges – depression, anxiety, substance use, unresolved trauma. 

• Social Issues – loneliness, breakups, bullying, cyber-bullying.

• Financial Burdens – tuition, living expenses, unemployment fears 



WARNING SIGNS OF SUICIDE 
• Withdrawal from friends and activities. 
• Expressing hopelessness (“I can’t go on,” “Life is meaningless”). 
• Drastic mood swings or sudden calmness after distress. 
• Giving away possessions.
• Sending suggestive messages and chats. Some post notes suggestive of wanting to die on their social media huddles. 
• Increased substance use. 
• Declining academic performance or absenteeism. 
                          WHAT SUICIDE IS NOT: BREAKING THE STIGMA FOR SUICIDE
Suicide is not a sign of weakness or failure. This beats a myth that suicide is a crime. 
• It is important to understand that those who dies of suicide arises in their attempt to find solution for their ongoing crises that they find inescapable. Sometimes life feels a trap. 
• Behaviors we label “self-destructive” are often adaptive strategies that once helped someone survive — they soothe or numb overwhelming internal distress. Suicide can be an expression of intolerable inner pain rather than a simple “choice.” 
• Mental health is as important as physical health. 
• Talking about suicide does not “plant the idea”; it helps prevent it. 
• Encouraging peer support systems and safe spaces for expression.
                                                HOW STUDENTS CAN HELP EACH OTHER
• Listen without judgment. Here we present ourselves as safe spaces 
• Ask directly: “Are you thinking about suicide?” (it shows care, not encouragement). 
• Stay connected – don’t leave a distressed friend alone. Offer them social support.
                                    WHAT YOU CAN DO WHEN YOU ARE FEELING SUICIDAL
✓ Tell a trusted friend, family member or other support. This is someone you can be vulnerable with; with whom you can honestly share.  
✓ Try not to be alone when you feel this way. 
✓ Instead try sitting quietly with a cube mate, a friend, going to a safe space, support group or going to a hospital or crisis center. 
✓ seek professional help – seek help from wellness. In case it’s your friend, encourage them seek help. 
✓ Be aware of resources on and off campus. The university has resources to ensure of your safety and well-being.
                                                                      CONCLUSION
• Suicide is preventable when students, faculty, and institutions work together. Reach out for help. 
• Every student has a role in creating a supportive and stigma-free environment. 
• Message of hope: “You are not alone. Help is available. Your life matters.” 
• Always remember feelings are not facts. • Suicidal feelings are not your fault; they are a symptom of your illness. 
• They may not seem temporary, but they are. As you learn to manage your condition, you will be able to spot your warning signs sooner and get help earlier.
