What is the best way to help prevent suicide other then using anti-depressants and calling a hot-line?

I'm depressed and suicidal, and I was wondering if there are somethings that can help with the depression and suicidal thoughts, without taking medication and/or calling a hot-line. No, I don't want ideas for suicide, I just need help taking a stand against it. How can I do that?

You have to change your way of thinking first of all. Try going to counseling about your situation, it could be something from your past that you are repressing that is the underlying problem.

You have to realize that you are more than you think. Get out meet people, get involved in different activities. Exercise will cause your body to release endorphins which relax your body and cause happiness. Get a workout partner who will push you to reach new heights, for example a bicycling partner who will push you to increase your speed and endurance. Once you realize you have accomplished a worth while goal you can will find it easier to put your thoughts further and further away from you.
I have never been suicidal but I have been depressed about my weight and exercise helped to boost my confidence and get me through the hardest times.
I hope this helps you through the hard times you are facing.

How do you avoid depression when a military boyfriend is away?

I'm thankful that he is not deployed, I don't know how I would handle that, but my boyfriend is in the Army and is across the country for several months. How can I avoid the depression while he is gone? Living in a seemingly empty apartment now, how can I fill the void that seems to suck the life right out of me? Any suggestions that avoid getting pets would be so helpful.

You keep busy. Sign up for some classes at the local college. Go to the gym, hang out with friends, meet some new friends. Life when he is away him should be just like life before him (with the exception of looking to meet someone). What did you do before you guys met? Didd you go bowling with friends? See a lot of movies? Just do anything and everything that sounds like fun and stay busy. You may even want to try something like taking a cooking class to be able to make new recipes to impress him when he gets back.

Just remember that sitting home crying does no one any good. He's not your life, he is a part of it. Make a point to get up every day with a good attitude that this day will be fun and make it happen.

If you plan on marrying him at a later date then you need to get used to being alone and getting along without him. Been there, doing that. That's what we wives do. It's not an easy life by any means. If you truly start sinking into depression see a counsleor right away to talk about it, not necessarily to get on meds. Just keep your options open and realize that you are 1 of many girlfriends/spouses that are surviving every day without having your man with you.

Does the suicide method someone uses have anything to do with their personality?

I read this book a while ago and this one character mentions that his dad, who's a shrink, says that very sensitive people commit suicide in water. And if that's so, do any other methods have something along those lines to explain what kind of person they are/were?

Giving me a site would be best but listing would still be helpful.

First of all, I really hope you're not considering suicide. That would be terrible. Please get help if you are thinking about it, although it doesn't sound like you are.

Men tend to commit suicide in direct ways, like a gun, or hanging themselves. Women, however, tend to use indirect methods like drug overdoses, or perhaps drowning. This probably has something to do with sensitivity, like sensitive people need an aid (water, drugs) because they couldn't bear to do it themselves.
