Suicide is defined as the act of taking your own life. You may want to give up on life when someone close to you has died or when you have had a bad break from a relationship.
If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, know that there are several reasons for this feeling.
Psychiatric illness
Mental disorders are considered to be one of the most common causes of suicide. One of the symptoms that commonly occur in various psychiatric conditions is feeling depressed. These mental conditions include bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression and schizophrenia. As you and your doctor struggle to find a treatment that can effectively treat your mental condition, you may feel helpless and afraid that you may never feel normal again. You may feel that the only way to end the pain is to end your life.
Anxiety can cause fear in your environment and prevent you from adapting to changes in life. In some cases, anxiety makes it difficult for you to maintain friendships, finish school, or keep a steady job. Then the combination of loneliness and fear triggers you to think about suicide.
Major depression is thought to be the leading cause of suicide worldwide. People who are unable to cope with their depressive symptoms are at greater risk of committing suicide. 90% of depression cases report having suicidal thoughts.
Traumatic experiences
When you go through a traumatic experience, you may feel great shame or guilt and can cause suicidal thoughts. These traumatic experiences include war, physical or sexual violence. You can develop a condition called post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which is characterized by flashbacks or obstruction of memories related to traumatic experiences. PTSD can cause intense anxiety that can interfere with normal life. This can lead to suicidal thoughts.

This is especially true in love relationships. Relationship problems can lead to deeper feelings of depression, anxiety, guilt, and panic. Relationship problems can also cause a lot of emotional pain and drown you in suicidal thoughts. Fear of loneliness or isolation tends to make you willing to join bad influence groups of friends, or seek help from drugs and alcohol.
