Posted Sep 29, 2015
自杀会被刊登在所有社交媒体和主流媒体上。某公众人物死于自杀。明天，可能是另外一个人，也许没有那么有名，但是同样被（他人）爱着。然而，自杀是一种可以避免的死亡形式。有很多好的治疗对那些正在考虑结束自己生命的人很有帮助，并且绝大多数接受过这种治疗的人很庆幸他们这么做了。我们如何帮助有需要的人呢？如果你知道有个人正在考虑自杀，第一步就是要干预。以下是（有自杀倾向的）预警信号：
Recent Loss – A breakup, the death of a loved one, unemployment – all of these things can cause more grief and stress than a person can bear. If someone you know is going through a tough time, keep an eye on them. Talk to them about what’s going on. Recent losses increase the risk of suicidal thought and action. 近期失去—— 一次分手、所爱的人去世、失业——所有的这些事情都可以引起较大的悲伤和压力，超出一个人的能承受的范围。如果你认识的某个人正在经历艰难时期，密切留意他们。跟他们谈论发生了什么。近期的失去会增加自杀的想法和行动。
Talking about Suicide – It is a myth that those who talk about suicide aren’t going to take action. Talking about suicide is a good indication that the option is on the table. Engage in that conversation. Find out what is troubling your loved one so much that s/he is considering suicide and help that person find the professional resources s/he needs to address those issues. 谈论自杀——很奇怪，那些谈论自杀的人往往不会采取行动。谈论自杀是一个很好的暗示，这表明这个选项已经被放上日程。加入到谈话中。找出是什么事情如此困扰着你关爱的人以至于他或她考虑到要自杀，并且帮助他或她寻找能够解决这些问题的专业资源。
Talking about Feeling Trapped or in Pain – One of the reasons people kill themselves is that they are in unbearable physical or emotional pain and they see no way out. If your loved one takes or abuses painkillers, this is an especially important warning sign. The consistent misuse of pain medication is an indication of pain. Take this warning sign seriously and seek professional medical help. 倾诉感觉陷入绝境或者经历痛苦——想要自杀的原因之一就是他们忍受不了躯体上的痛苦或情绪上的痛苦，并且他们看不到出路。如果你爱的人服用止痛药或滥用止痛药，这就是一个特别重要的警告信号。长期滥用止痛药物就是痛苦的暗示。认真对待这个预警信号，并且寻求专业的医疗救助。
Increasing Alcohol or Substance Use – While this use may or may not rise to the level of dependence or addiction, an increase in substance use, especially substances like alcohol, heroin or prescription medications – substances that numb pain – is a signal that an individual is trying to self-soothe. If this is coupled with recent loss, stress, or talk of wanting to end one’s life, take immediate action. 增加酒精或药物滥用——虽然这些东西的使用可能（也可能没有）到依赖或上瘾的地步，但是增加药物使用，尤其像酒精、吗啡或处方药物——能麻痹疼痛的药物——这是一个信号，暗示这个人正在尝试着自我舒缓。如果这种现象伴随着近期失去、压力或者嘴上说着想要结束生命，那么就要立即采取行动。
Seeking Means of Suicide – When someone is actually formulating a plan and seeking the means to end their life, the situation is urgent. Ask your loved one if they have the means to kill themselves or whether or not they’ve thought about how they would end their life. If they have, seek emergency help. 寻找自杀手段——如果某人真的制定一个计划并且寻找结束自己生命的手段，那么这个情形就很急迫了。问你爱的人，他们是否已经有了自杀的办法，或者问他们是否想过如何结束自己的生命。如果有，就要马上寻求紧急救助。
Saying Goodbye – Many people who are considering killing themselves say goodbye. Their actions may be overt or subtle. If you feel like the person you care about is saying goodbye to you, ask if they plan suicide. You’re not giving them any ideas, but you will show your concern and learn more about their intentions. 说再见——很多正在考虑自杀的人都会说再见。他们的方式可能会很明显也可能很微妙。如果你觉得你在乎的人正在向你说再见，问他们是否计划要自杀。你不能给他们任何主意，但要显示出你的关心并且了解更多他们的打算。
The most important thing to remember is that while you have no control over what an individual ultimately decides, your calm and concern can save their life. Do not leave a suicidal person alone. Seek professional help. Life will change and treatment is possible. Our best course of action is to help our loved one find hope to go on for another day.
记住最重要的事情是，虽然你不能控制一个人最终的决定，但是你的冷静和关心可以拯救他们的生命。不要让一个有自杀倾向的人独处。寻找专业的帮助。生活会发生改变，而且治愈也很有可能。我们最好的行动就是帮助在乎的人找到活到下一天的希望。
