Fr. Mike explains why hope is the best remedy for suicidal thoughts. If you know someone struggling with such thoughts, don’t hesitate to reach out to them with reasons to have hope. If someone you know or love has committed suicide, pray for them and don’t lose hope for their soul. If you struggle with suicidal thoughts, don’t be ashamed to seek help. Fr. Mike shares these words of encouragement and more in this video.
National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, 1-800-273-8255. Online chat is available at suicidepreventionlifeline.org

Yet in God, everything is possible, there is always a way out. If we choose hope, there is always a way out, and usually, it's beautiful way out, even though there are fire all over the place. cause God's way is always a beautiful one. I choose hope! Thanks Father Mike

Jasmine Esquivel, I'm 60. I had my dad longer then you did, when he too, took his life. Until Judgment Day, your Dad, is in God's Hands. The Bible says, we cannot know God's Mind. Judge Not... We can't know, how God will Judge anyone. Many Meds cause Suicidal Tendencies. Lots of people have Chemical Imbalances, to Toxins now used, in everything from food, to it's packaging, to airborne, lawn care products... We are mere Mortals. Know the Song, He has the Whole World in His Hands... Believe it. May God hear evert Prayer you say, and tear you cry, and know your love for your dad.

I lost my husband 11 years ago. I once heard him say, “I don’t deserve God’s love.” I truly believe that God has mercy and has wrapped his loving arms around him. After my husband died, he came to me in a dream. He was crystal clear to me. I hugged him and then I got angry at him for ending his life. He hugged me tightly and said, “my brain was so sick.” God would never punish him for being sick. God figures it out beyond what we can comprehend.

I'm against suicide. I was depressed also to suicidal. I almost did suicide as a 5-Point Calvinist. And these scriptures got me more hope. I'm Arminian now from these scriptures I posted on here. New American Standard Bible (NASB) Mark 9:33 (V)They came to Capernaum; and when He was in (W)the house, He began to question them, "What were you discussing on the way?" . Mark 9:34 But they kept silent, for on the way (X)they had discussed with one another which of them was the greatest. . Mark 9:35 Sitting down, He called the twelve and said to them, "(Y)If anyone wants to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all." . Christian world domination. Why to raise kids Christians. God Son Jesus said similarly to whoever is useful the most is the best merited of the apostles. Useful merit for eternal rewards and competition with other Christians. With God Son Lord Jesus Christ faith teaching, people will want to be useful for the kingdom of Heaven, which usefulness happens on Earth and if any other place. We need to help this world as much as we can! This text could motivate, supposed to be Christian people, to do all types of usefulness. Chores, volunteering, grade school, high school, college, and work. Good people; this world needs them.

Until you are in a situation of wanting to die you don’t look at it that way. Nobody understands what we go through. When you feel like nobody is ever there for you including your family and husband you have a major breakdown you try and get help and people just say get over it. I’m very happy I made it through but until you are in that situation you have no idea.

@@silentumexcubitor6747 It is this type of thinking that keeps mental illness in the closet. Unless you walk a mile in my shoes, my brother, it is best to refrain from making blanket, Scientology-type ignorant statements. You can do more harm than good. I can't tell you how many times someone has told me to 'buck-up." Would they tell a diabetic to just stop having a blood sugar problem? Of course not. Mental illness, like Christianity, is something that people ridicule and think it's okay. It's not okay. Please educate yourself so that you can stop insulting those with mental illnesses with your denial.

You are spot on about 13 reasons why! My mother was a devout Catholic who lost her battle to mental illness when I was a child. I was so angry for so long. I came to terms with the fact that she was sick and it was not her free will and it helped me process it and recover. I recently have been watching videos by priests on the matter and it has given me great peace! I said the divine mercy chaplet for her recently. God is outside of space and time and so I believe every prayer helps.

Once I read an article by a priest also discussing suicide. He also mentioned the fact that we don't know their mental and spiritual state of those who take their own life. So every time he was aware of someone committing suicide, he would pray a Divine Mercy Chaplet. I usually try to do this as well.

Listen to the priest, this pastor described this scenario like when your in school and a teacher asks you to give the definition of a vocabulary word and you just go to the glossary and read the definition word for word with no real experience just the literal meaning. “People who committed suicide turned their backs on God” people who committed suicide were likely LOOKING FOR HIM.

Father Mike. A very good topic that you tackle. I had 2 people (unrelated to each other) commit suicide within a week of each other this past June...I was numbed by it and their families left shattered. One did jump off the Golden Gate Bridge and both suffered from deep depression for years and both had the loving support of their families and therapists, but Father, we can only feebly imagine the type of true darkness they must live with 24 hours a day, 365 days a year forward and onward. I know that the struggle with the "demons" that plagued them had to be a battle that I could never imagine. And let me tell you, to be desperate and hopeless enough to jump off that bridge is earth shattering if you have ever been on it and looked into the steel blue cold water of the bay... so with that said, this humble Catholic believes that God's mercy and love knows no boundaries as He is boundless in mercy and forgiveness. For those who have lost dear friends, family members and coworkers to suicide my heart and prayers go out to each and everyone. Keep these souls in your daily prayers. Father Mike keep up all the good work. You are a KZfaq blessing.

My Aunt committed suicide in November of 2015. While I was 8 months pregnant, I had to identify her body on scene for the coroner. It was among the most difficult experiences I have had. It wasn't particularly the worst thing I have ever seen, as I am a Paramedic, however, with her being my Aunt it was more difficult than all the other traumas I have experienced being in my line of work. I just felt sad that she felt as though she had no way out other than to commit suicide. She struggled with Mental Illness (depression, anxiety, Bipolar type I, along with a lot of trauma in her life), I truly feel she was very ill at the time of her suicide and felt tortured all of her life and that she is now finally at peace. However, my Mom (her sister) is not having as easy of a time coming to terms with what had happened. So, anyone thinking of suicide, please seek help. Your problems really are temporary and the permanent decision to take your life, effects a lot more than you realize.

So-called "mental illnesses" are exactly as "real" as presents from Santa Claus, but NOT more real. They were INVENTED to serve as excuses to sell drugs. The "lot of trauma in her life" would explain ALL the so-called "symptoms" of so-called "mental illness".

I don't know. Maybe Father Michael will see this message. But this saw brought me to tears. I'm from Russia. I am a Catholic at the moment for only four months. Before that, I was undergoing catechesis to join the church. I have a mental disorder. And the problem is that in Russia you are really left alone with this problem. I was prescribed a medicine that costs 1000 rubles for 20 tablets. That's a lot. That's why I can't accept them. But my condition constantly makes me think about suicide. And it scares me a lot. Now I was watching funny clips to cheer myself up, and then KZfaq offered me this video. I watched. It really made me feel better. Thank you for this channel and such a wonderful smart father.

At the age of 12, 16, 18, I tried to commit suicide. Growing up I had everything I ever wanted and needed but I had this void like this hole I couldn't fill. No matter what I had or the people next to me. I'm so thankful I didn't really go through with it because here I am 25 serving and honor God. ( that hole and void was that I needed God in my life) My life isn't perfect and it will never be but I've had such an amazing life and met so many wonderful people that I would have missed out had I really taking my life. So please if you feel tempted, trust me turn to God!! He will help you! Because he help me and here I am 💜 will pray for anyone who is going through this! Cause I know how you feel!

Thank you Father... I have spent most of my teenage and adult life in pain, tempted to take my own life. I've always felt alone and like nobody ever cared. To this day I still struggle with the same thing. I'm a Catholic convert, however ever since I converted, I've noticed a big difference and my faith has helped me tremendously, whereas in the past, I felt like I had no hope at all. There have been a few times even in those moments, where it's almost like I could hear God saying, "I love you." And it came randomly. I try to remember that feeling when I continue to have bad nights. This video really touched me and gave me a boost and I really needed to hear this message. Thank you very much, with prayers 🙏🏻❤️

Suicide is when the person is NOT in their right mind, and can't think for themselves at the momen.t No. They are not being selfish by doing the act. They want to END the pain but don't know how and the only way they do it is to terminate their life so they can be free of the pain. I know. I was one of them and God saved me. I woke up the next day. Praise GOd and he has saved me in so many ways so when I get depressed I turn to God, and the saints.

When my adoptive mom passed away on October, 5th, 2015, I wanted to take my own life. I didn't know how I was gonna do it, but I knew I wanted to. Because I was so overcome/overwhelmed with the emotions that came from her passing, that's what I thought. I was ashamed that I thought that. But nonetheless, I thought of it. I also cursed, resented, blamed, and pushed God away, including the thought of God stealing her from me. Again, the emotions ruling over me! I still get these suicidal thoughts once in a blue moon. Fast forward 3 years, I go back to my church after a 4-5 year hiatus and writing to Pope Francis, about my plight. I tell my priest, EVERYTHING.... Even my thoughts of suicide. He's been helping me so much. I swear God is fiercely present in him, his name is Father Michael Niemczak. I really thank God for him and his help. I still need healing from God though. He and Father Michael is always there when I need to cry or ask for advice or a question. And with Father Michael's blessing, prayers, and permission, I want to be there for others who are thinking of taking their own life.

Hi, Father. I just wanted to tell you thank you for this video. I've been fighting anxiety and depression for years now, and through all of that I've always been too much of a coward to kill myself. As for self-harm, the cowardice has not been so strong. But my own priest has told me several times that my hesitance to take my own life is not cowardice, but grace. And hopefully someday that grace will keep me from hurting myself, too. Maybe coming back to this video will help with that temptation when I feel it. To anyone else who is considering suicide, I think BBC Sherlock put it best: "Your life is not your own, keep your hands off of it." God loves you. Thank you again, Father Mike.

Um, excuse me, but you're pretty. Also, I suggest to not focus so much on the negative aspect of why not suicide, but rather on the positive aspect of why not suicide, i.e. don't focus on the consequences as a motivator to keep going (it being a mortal sin), rather put your focus on God's abundant love for you, sister. Who cares what others say, most of the time they're confused anyway, unfortunately. Jesus is always there with you and for you; has been and always will be. Trust me on that ;) We just sometimes forget and fail to realize that, I guess because of all this noise and confusion that surrounds us a.k.a. the storm that causes us to take our eyes off the Lord, who is Truth and Love. I know it can be difficult at times, but think about the positives. Think about how Jesus loves you unconditionally and wants you just because. He is the standard, not something on a magazine or a computer screen or whatever somebody in school says. People can boast all they want, which is usually driven by insecurities in the first place. We should actually pray for people who may 'have it all', because this can easily cause them to become prideful, and we all know that pride comes before the fall. Everything is temporary anyway. So, we need to pray for those popular people that society seems to favor for that short period of time, because it's important for them to get a reality check and humble themselves, otherwise they will never be able to see the Kingdom of God. *Matthew **23:12* _Those who praise themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be praised._ *2 Corinthians **4:17**-18* _For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So we don't look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever._ Oh, btw, thanks for the heads-up. I'll avoid caramel m&m's. Hmm... it sure does sound like it's not a good mix when you think about it :-/ :-P Take care and God Bless : )

I believe above all else that life and death are not decisions within the human authority. I was foolish years ago and thought I could take it into my own hands. I was in the darkness and wanted a way out. Thankfully God met me there in the darkness and led me out, and in the light I stand now. Though the darkness of the world troubles me greatly. Suicide is a very personal thing for me. Thank you for being a vessel for Gods words here. I hope all those in suffering hear this. I will do my part to spread the message of hope, so help me God.

Great video on an important message. However, I really dislike the phrase, "Suicide is a permanent solution to temporary problems." The fact of the matter is that some people who commit suicide have been struggling with "permanent problems" all their lives - their parents not giving the love and support they need (emotionally, financially, etc.), not having enough food to feed your family, and of course depression, which was touched on in the video. What I'm saying is that if people spend their entire lives struggling with a problem which is not inherently a consequence of their own actions and it drives them to suicide, it is instead a "permanent solution to seemingly-permanent problems," which makes it less of an easy answer to a difficult situation.

Thank you for the video Fr. Mike. I have been dealing with depression/anxiety for a few years now. And it mostly gets triggered by my fight or flight mechanism. I struggle dealing with family matters which often lead to my depression and watching news and articles fuels my anxiety. I feel like no matter what I do or choose to do will have negative results that I can't deal with. When the thoughts race through my head, they hit a brick wall when I think of the impact it would have on my kids to grow up without a father to protect them, make them laugh, teach them, and guide them through life. I am getting help, but I don't feel it's working. I've tried calling the national hotlines, but they are mainly answered by people that want to sit there and listen with no real dialogue exchange. I have been doing okay lately, but that mostly entails the suppressing of the issues that intensify the depression/anxiety which I will have to face one day. Pray for me as I will pray for all of you that struggle with depression/anxiety. And again, thank you for the great videos Fr. Mike.

Thank you, Fr. Mike. I have yet to watch this Netflix series, but so many young people are watching this show and reading the novel. We have to do more to reach out to these people, eradicate the stigma against mental illness, and emphasize how much these people are loved by us-- and by God. Suicide is one of the most selfish and short-sighted things a person can do, I don't care how much people may try to argue against that objective fact. When a person takes their life, they are inflicting pain on their friends, family, and their community. But they are also showing a complete lack of gratitude for the gift of life they have recieved from God. I encourage people to share this video with their friends on Facebook. This is an important message to get out! God bless all you and keep you.

I don't know where I would be today without God and my family. Thank you. I appreciate your work and love you put into these. Also, about 13rw, that show messed with my head. It brought back some thoughts I had previously but I was also able to understand the way family and friends feel after your gone. TBH, I feel like most of Hannah's enemies in this case were sorry and troubled (except Bryce and even Courtney I think🙄). But yeah, I understand your revenge point. I have mixed feelings about the show. It was good, good enough to binge watch, but did some serious damage in the process to people who are like me or worse than me. Maybe even people who have never had such issues. That's just my opinion thanks for reading it.😊

But you're right, her suicide did nothing for those who bullied her because they didn't care about her and those who did were left to suffer. Again, great video over all, definitely sharing this one!
