IS PATH WARM: Mnemonic used to assess the risk of suicide (warning signs):    I    Ideation (thinking, talking or wishing about suicide)
   S    Substance use or abuse (increased use or change in substance)
   P    Purposelessness (no sense of purpose or belonging)
   A    Anger
   T    Trapped (feeling like there is no way out)
   H    Hopelessness (there is nothing to live for, no hope or optimism)
   W   Withdrawal (from family, friends, work, school, activities, hobbies)
   A    Anxiety (restlessness, irritability, agitation, changes in sleep pattern)
   R    Recklessness (high risk-taking behavior)
   M    Mood disturbance (dramatic changes in mood)
SAD PERSONS: The score is calculated from ten yes/no questions, with points given for each affirmative answer as follows:    S    Male sex → 1
   A    Age 45 years → 1
   D    Depression or hopelessness → 2
   P    Previous suicidal attempts or psychiatric care → 1
   E    Excessive ethanol or drug use → 1
   R    Rational thinking loss (psychotic or organic illness) → 2
   S    Single, widowed or divorced → 1
   O    Organized or serious attempt → 2
   N    No social support → 1
   S    Stated future intent (determined to repeat or ambivalent) → 2 This score is then mapped onto a risk assessment scale as follows:    0-5:  May be safe to discharge (depending upon circumstances)
   6-8:  Probably requires psychiatric consultation
   8-13:  Probably requires hospital admission Hope this helps!

MoeMentim:
i read a study that focused on survivors of the two most reliable forms of suicide, gun to the head and jumping from heights.  they found that most hadn't dealt with suicidal ideation  before some life occurrence happened.  it seems that people who live with suicidal thoughts tend to choose a method less reliable like an od or never attempt at all.  the latter category is where i fall in, never tried.  i think dealing with it most of my life has kept me from trying.  sorry to worry you guys but thanks, i appreciate your support.

Chip:
Thanks for putting our minds at ease.

Suicidal people always forget the lasting impact (PTSD) on not only family but also on those who are incidentals (witnesses / cleanup crew / police etc).

R. Agjei et al. / Advances in Science, Technology and Engineering Systems Journal Vol. 3, No. 6, 1-9 (2018) www.astesj.com states that:


--- Quote --- Several theoretical models have been proposed in literature to provide strong theoretical and factual information that concerns the progression of puzzling behavioural and emotional outcomes. Notable of these theories of suicidal behaviour is the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide. The Interpersonal theory of suicide was earlier suggested by Joiner (2005), and later elaborated by Van-Orden et al. According to this theory, “the most dangerous form of suicidal desire is caused by the simultaneous presence of two interpersonal constructs—thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness” [36: 1]. The theory further elaborates that the capability to engage in suicidal behaviour is separated from the desire to engage in suicidal behaviour
--- End quote ---

if anybody reading this has lost hope then you are welcome to PM me and i will try to talk you through your feelings and break it down for you.

Suicide is usually the wrong permanent solution to a temporary problem.

I'm not always available but will get back to you as soon as time permits.

I have been close myself and now, my life has improved far beyond my wildest expectations.

let's aim for a good, long life with A HAPPY ENDING with lashes of MAGIC !

MoeMentim:
believe me, iv'e considered impact on family first but also on whoever finds me.  i cant go out in any stupid chicken ass way.  i'll point the motorcycle off a cliff first, an accident.

but i'll never do that intentionally either, just the way i'd want to go, a bit too hot into the corner...

Chip:
...and if you change your mind and go the "gun to the head" route then please do it in a bathtub.

I wish i was joking.

Moe, yer too good to Goe !!
