[QUOTE="Andy, post: 166705, member: 5096"] Another insight about the suicide thoughts. My son would tell me that his body was telling him to hurt or kill himself. He did not want to. It got to the point where he didn't know if he could control it. So, if someone says they want to kill themselves, it could mean that they are having the urge to but do not want to. Kids don't always recognize the difference between urges and what they really want. To them an urge means they want to go through with it at that second. So, an "I want to kill myself" could mean that there is a real impulsive intrusive thought to actually do so. I always thought suicidal thoughts were more from external life situations or a thought process. In other words, I thought the person came to that conclussion out of knowing desperation. I didn't understand until my son went through this that it is not necessarily a "controlled" thought process. difficult child's body would "out of the blue" have these thoughts - no warning and he had no idea why. When someone says they want to kill themselves, they may not be suicidal, however, I do think that in time it could lead to it if they do not receive the help needed. [/QUOTE]
