Do you want to tell your lover when you want to die? If your lover discloses his own suicide tendency, he can get comfort and care, and to be treated correctly, thereby reducing your own suicide tendency. I think that you should tell your lover.

The University of Alabama's HEather A. Love et al. Published a study in "Interpersonal Relations" and recruited 30 trials to explore the participants 'response to their partners' suicide intentions, as well as the disclosure. Change of suicide tendency.

Through a series of open issues, they asked participants who recently disclosed suicide ideas or behaviors to who they recently disclosed, and described their response when they disclosed their suicide tendency and their views on the disclosure process. Analyze and integrate the answers to the subject.

Faced with the tendency of participants, the study divided the response of the participant's partner: effective reactions and invalid reactions. Effective reactions are divided into two types, one is emotional and non -guiding support (54.5%, n = 12), which refers to the sympathy and concern of the partner's response conveys the sympathy and concern of the disclosure. Another tool and instruction support (45.5%, n = 10) refers to the severity of the partner realized the matter, and do practical actions, such as the discloser to see the psychologist and put away the weapon.

The invalid response refers to the seriousness of the diluted disclosure of the suicide tendency, or degrades them or this relationship. For example, if you don't cry and make trouble, don't use this to threaten me. I don't eat this set.

Studies have shown that effective reactions can reduce the suicide tendency of the disclosure and increase the satisfaction of the disclosure to the relationship, and the invalid response will make the disclosure regret their confession of their suicide and increase the possibility of suicide.

As the lover or friend of the disclosure, we may sometimes do not realize that they are drumming up the courage to send the final help. If they turn a blind eye or laugh, we can only regret it. Therefore, paying attention to every weak voice and giving enough care and patience, maybe we accidentally saved a life from the edge.
