From Publishers Weekly
For 18 years, Blauner survived obsessive suicidal thoughts with the help of three psychiatric hospitalizations, an excellent therapist, 12-step support groups, "spiritual exploration," Prozac and a network of family and friends. This personal account of what worked for her offers excellent practical advice to "teach you how to get through those excruciating moments when every cell in your brain and body is screaming, `I want to die!' " Approaching "suicidal thoughts" as an addiction, Blauner clearly explains how some people's "brain style" responds to environmental stresses or "triggers" with obsessive suicidal thoughts rather than cravings for alcohol or other drugs. Strongly influenced by the very successful 12-step model, she fashions a patchwork of strategies for understanding, preventing and treating suicidal "gestures," which she asserts are not actually attempts to die but efforts to stop unbearable psychological pain. Childhood sexual abuse and the death of her mother when she was 14 contributed to Blauner's long struggle, but she herself had to make the decision and effort to begin therapy at age 19, before her problem was even recognized or treated. Now Blauner provides others like herself with "Tricks of the Trade" that can literally save lives. With neither hollow platitudes nor medical doublespeak, she covers brain function, antidepressants, finding a good therapist, identifying triggers, creating a "Crisis Plan" for critical moments and heading off suicidal thoughts by coping with hunger, anger, loneliness and fatigue. Blauner provides an extremely valuable and much-needed tool for both suicidal thinkers and their loved ones. B&w illus.

From Library Journal
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, suicide is the eighth leading cause of death for all Americans and the third leading cause of death for those ages 15 to 24. Yet as Blauner points out, suicide is rarely talked about openly. In her heartfelt and important book, Blauner, who has survived multiple suicide attempts and developed a statewide suicide prevention program for teens in Massachusetts, offers guidance and hope for those contemplating ending their lives. The story of her 18-year struggle with suicidal impulses is followed by a concise explanation of the biochemical process inside the brain of a suicidal thinker. The bulk of the book consists of her 25 personal "tricks of the trade," practical, safe alternative activities any suicidal thinker can employ to "outthink" his or her brain and stay alive. These include asking for help, keeping emergency contact information handy, creating a crisis plan, keeping a journal, practicing meditation, and attending support groups, to name just a few. The chapter on helping others will be useful for mental health professionals. A resource list includes numerous crisis hotline telephone numbers, web sites, and contact information for support organizations. This vital resource is recommended for all public libraries.

The pain of Suicidal Ideation
By Deirdre D. Forbes
I'm a therapist who has worked with many individuals who struggle with the relentless idea of suicide being an option. This book, written by a young woman who has traveled that same road will 1. demonstrate to those whose isolative beliefs double their suffering, will come to understand they are not alone. 2. Be able to separate themselves from their disease and make use of the idea that the individual is not wishing to kill themselves but the disease is telling them to. and finally 3. the author shares methods of distraction she utilized to keep her from acting on her thoughts some will find useful. Both professionals and those with major depression should find this helpful.

PLEASE READ - VERY IMPORTANT
By Jeff
This book saved my life today. Here, as I write this review on 7/8/2012. Without the words and comfort offered by the author of this book, I would have been dead on this day at about 11:00 AM, from a shotgun blast to the head.
IF YOU ARE HERE READING THIS RIGHT NOW, CALL Call 1-800-SUICIDE / 1-800-784-2433 or 1-800-273-8255. DO NOT WAIT ANOTHER MOMENT. THE FACT THAT YOU ARE HERE READING THIS MEANS THAT YOUR SITUATION IS SERIOUS, NO MATTER WHAT YOUR BRAIN TELLS YOU, THIS IS VERY, VERY SERIOUS. DO NOT SHRUG IT OFF.
***PLEASE**** PICK UP THE PHONE, RIGHT NOW AND CALL Call 1-800-SUICIDE / 1-800-784-2433 or 1-800-273-8255 (The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline). I am telling you this because I know how bad you are feeling, and even though you don't know me, I love you because I know what you are feeling and have felt it myself, and want to help you. The way I can help you is if you make the call. I care about you, and so do the people at that telephone number...it is true, they do not know you, but they are there because they know what you are going through, and are waiting for your call because they love you. It's OK, go ahead, pick up the phone and call Call 1-800-SUICIDE / 1-800-784-2433 or 1-800-273-8255. Do not be afraid, the people there are caring people, and want to help you. Please pick up the phone and call, do it now. And then continue reading this after you have finished the phone call.
If, after you have made that call, you are still feeling bad, drive yourself or have someone drive you to a hospital as soon as possible and tell the hospital staff that you are feeling suicidal. No one will judge you. They understand, and are there to help you. Even though they do not know you, they also love you, as I do. If there is no one to take you to the hospital, call the hospital and tell the operator that you are suicidal and need help. They will send people to help you and bring you to the hospital. Do not be ashamed. They understand, they have been trained to do this and to help people in situations like ours.
***AFTER*** YOU HAVE MADE THE CALL to the hotline and/or have been at the hospital, THEN PURCHASE THE KINDLE EDITION OF THIS BOOK AND BEGIN READING IT ON YOUR PC OR MAC. (You do NOT need the actual kindle to begin reading it, you can download the kindle sofware from Amazon here [...]). PURCHASE THIS KINDLE BOOK NO MATTER WHAT YOUR BRAIN TELLS YOU. You can purchase the paperback book which will come in the mail in a few days if you wish (I did this too), but like me, you may need to begin reading it right now and do not have time to wait while the book comes in the mail so BUY THE KINDLE BOOK NOW AND START READING.
I will now tell you my story...
It was Saturday evening (7/7/2012), and I was about 10 hours away from the end of my life. The previous week I had spent circling Gander Mountain in my car from time to time broken and in tears, thinking about what size shotgun I would purchase so I could turn the barrel around and still reach the trigger.
I was sitting in my car in the parking lot, 20 yards away from the store entrance, crying, knowing that it was getting pretty close to the end. I had spent the previous days drafting suicide notes in my mind, now all I needed were the gun and a round of ammunition. I wiped away the tears and prepared to calm down enough to approach the gun counter and purchase the gun.
Everything had gone wrong in my life. I had made mistake, after mistake, after mistake. Job loss, foreclosure, bankruptcy, family problems and lack of family emotional support, legal problems and trouble with the law. Nothing seemed to get better, it was just one thing after another. I cried in the parking lot, sobbing to myself "I just can't do it anymore."
By some miracle I was able to drive myself out of that parking lot twice that week, barely hanging on. That Saturday evening, while doing the research online for suicide methods and reading suicide quotes, I became convinced that there was no way out for me. Legal troubles and fees and bills were piling up that I knew I would not be able to pay. I had a court date coming up with possible jail time. That next morning, at 10:00 AM, I was going to go to Gander Mountain and purchase the shotgun. This was it. It was firmly cemented in my mind.
I had read many books on depression in the past, and had been to therapy on and off. None of that seemed to help me in my darkest hour. By some miracle, in my searching the internet last night (Saturday 7/7/2012), I came accross this book.
This was the book that saved my life today. I began reading the preview of the book online, and then I ordered the kindle edition right then and there and downloaded it to my PC (I don't have a kindle, and used the Amazon kindle software for my PC) and started reading it at about midnight. It provided a shelter from the pain, and help from someone who had been there and was offering an outstretched hand to help. I read for an hour or so last night, and then some this morning. Tomorrow (Monday) I will be contacting a therapist and will receive more help and support.
I am writing this because I know what you are going through, I know how bad it hurts. I know the feeling of finality that comes with the decision to commit suicide. I do not not know who you are, and you do not know me, but know that there is love in the world because I am here today extending my hand and heart to you because I love you, and want to help you. When it seems that no one else will listen or understand, I am here with you right now as you read this, I am here to help you. Please, please, please...call the hotline 1-800-273-8255. Get to a hospital if you need to, and then buy this book. I am not in any way associated with the author or publisher of this book or Amazon. I am a man, aged 41, who reached the end of his rope, and almost pulled the trigger. This book saved my life. And it will save you too. This is the most important $9 you will ever spend, because it will provide an immediate shelter from your suffering, and a place where you can begin to safely build a new life.
KNOW THAT I AM HERE FOR YOU, RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW. I LOVE YOU. Please do these things...
1. Call Call 1-800-SUICIDE / 1-800-784-2433 or 1-800-273-8255. They care about you, and love you, and are there to help
2. If you are still feeling bad after making this call, go to the hospital or have someone drive you there or call the hospital.
3. Order the kindle edition of this book and start reading
4. Contact local mental health professionals and start therapy. They understand and are there to help you.
Do these things, and you will make it through this. I promise.
With Love,
Jeff
