The signs of suicide
Depression, unfortunately, is no stranger in our society these days. It can take many forms, from a brief period of passing sadness to an unshakable chronic state of the blues. In the worst of cases suicide becomes a real threat, and recognizing the symptoms can mean the difference between saving somebody's life or letting them die from a treatable illness.The symptoms of suicide, courtesy of WebMD:
- Talking about suicide/killing oneself
- Frequently talking or thinking about death in general
- Making self-depreciating and negative comments about being worthless, helpless, or hopeless
- Making statements like "it would be better if i wasn't here " or "I want out"
- Losing interest in things they used to care about
- Having a "death wish" by taking physical risks and tempting fate
- Saying goodbye to people
- Going from very sad and depressed to suddenly happier and at peace
- Putting affairs in order by tying up loose ends, changing will, etc

I know what you mean when you say you get irritable and regretful later in the day if you don't workout. I even have trouble sleeping because i get a rush of energy at night if i haven't previously workout out. Good motivational blog post!
