Cultivate the most interesting and practical psychology every day
In recent years, China's suicide rate has been rising, of which the number of suicides by jumping off a building is not a minority, I don't know if you have ever thought of such a question, people who choose to end their lives by jumping off buildings, will have regretful thoughts in mid-air?
This question is difficult to answer, because once you choose to jump from a tall building, you can't stop, and the survival rate of jumping off a building to commit suicide is relatively low, so no one can answer this question accurately.
So, if you suddenly regret it in the process of jumping off the building, but there is no way back, what is the mood of the suicidal person?
To answer this question, we must start with the causes of suicidal thoughts in suicidal people, because no one wants to end their precious lives and leave their loved ones for no reason, and there is a corresponding motivation behind any decision of human beings, and this motivation drives people's behavior.
In order to be able to more clearly and clearly let everyone know the psychological state of suicide, we have inquired about the relevant books and literature in detail, and most of the psychology experts in China divide suicide into the following three stages:
In the first stage, the suicidal motive arises, the idea of ending one's life arises, and the stage of suicidal thoughts is formed.
Behind the emergence of this kind of thinking, there must be some reasons for the individual to be able to have a fatal blow, when the individual's mind has the idea of suicide, any subsequent setbacks and difficulties will strengthen their suicidal thoughts.
The second stage is the stage in which contradictions and conflicts arise in itself. Human desire to survive is based on instinct, and when individuals face the decision of life and death, there will be certain contradictions and conflicts in their hearts.
The concept of life and death is constantly entangled in the individual's heart, people will fall into the entanglement of whether they want to live or die, and people will generally make suicide plans continuously, but they will not take real action for the time being.
In the third stage, choose the suicide method. When people enter this stage, it means that they have been continuously hit in life, and these blows continue to strengthen the idea of self-closure in the individual's mind, and people enter the stage of choosing for themselves the time, place, and way to end their lives.
In addition to the above-mentioned suicide stage theory, there is also an impulsive suicide, in which the individual suffers a sudden fatal blow, and in a short period of time, the idea of suicide is generated and put into practical action, and the suicide process is extremely short.
Therefore, different individuals also have different psychological processes before suicide, which need to be analyzed according to specific cases. So, what are the reasons that cause people to think of giving up their lives?
First, people who have endured great blows and unbearable setbacks, and who are immersed in grief, are prone to suicidal thoughts.
This situation generally includes the loss of one's lover, the bankruptcy of the company, repeated failures in examinations, etc., and when people suffer unbearable blows, their mentality will gradually collapse and they will be immersed in sadness.
And everything in life can not make it optimistic, from then on life loses color, feel that their existence is meaningless, life will only make themselves miserable, and then the idea of suicide will gradually arise.
However, this kind of suicidal thoughts are impulsive suicides, as long as they are not implemented immediately, people will gradually adjust their state back to normal, regain hope for life, return to reason, and give up suicidal thoughts.
Second, I want to liberate myself by committing suicide.
Such people may have more serious problems in their psychology, such as suffering from serious mental illness, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, etc., and they are suffering from diseases all the time.
At the time of the onset of the disease, they cannot control their behavior, and they are under great pressure and pain psychologically and physically at the same time, at this time, they will achieve self-liberation through suicide.
This kind of person's suicidal thoughts are more difficult to eliminate, because in their hearts, death is far easier than living, unless the person himself completely abandons the idea of suicide in his heart, otherwise, even if a suicide is unsuccessful, they will think of more ways to commit a second suicide and a third suicide.
Third, vent negative emotions in an attempt to inflict psychological burden on others.
This type of person is more extreme in his heart, and they want to punish others by hurting themselves, causing great pain in the hearts of others.
The negative thoughts in their hearts continue to accumulate, there is no outlet for venting, gradually accumulate, and finally produce in their minds the thoughts that I should not have existed, and they want to prove themselves right by suicide, which is a bit of a "death to mingzhi" meaning.
But I don't know that this way of venting emotions is extremely childish, and in the end, it is not only myself who is hurt, but also the person who really loves herself.
Therefore, it actually makes no sense for us to discuss whether the suicide person will regret the idea of jumping off a building.
The real question that deserves our attention is how to properly deal with and deal with negative emotions in an individual's mind.
