Attempts at suicide, and suicidal thoughts or feelings are usually a symptom indicating that a person isn't coping, often as a result of some event or series of events that they personally find overwhelmingly traumatic or distressing.
Asking if they are feeling suicidal has the effect of giving them permission to feel the way they do, which reduces their isolation; if they are feeling suicidal, they may see that someone else is beginning to understand how they feel.
Suicide is often extremely traumatic for the friends and family members that remain (the survivors), even though people that attempt suicide often think that no-one cares about them.

  Suicidal Syd - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Suicidal Syd is a character in the British adult comic Viz.
He is an extreme manic depressive, who becomes suicidal over minor occurrences and then attempts to commit suicide in various different ways (They're often surreal, topical and farcical, eg.
He draws what he thinks is a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad and shows it to a group of fanatical Islamists, hoping they'll murder him, then realizes he's actually drawn a picture of Muhammad Ali) - all of which fail.

In an unusually low-key vocal that captures a vulnerability generally absent from his live performances, Chris Watkins' protagonist tells about how he has topped himself in his past lives, and how, oh no, looks like the time's getting ripe for it to happen again.
Were it not for the rich, serpentine melody line of this song, and it's full-force, power-chord-ing, stop-start backing, I was almost back in the territory of Suicidal Syd, from VIz magazine.
But it's such a powerful and bizarre song that you might be tempted to call it an allegory, if you could only locate it's moral.

Upon being asked how he was, Syd replied: "I've got a very large refridgerator, and I've been eating a lot of pork chops." Needless to say, this event was devastating to the band.

Aaron's personal experiences raising an autistic daughter also contributed heavily to "Crazy Jones," the story of a 40 year-old suicidal Tourette syndrome sufferer, Finnegan, who finds a way back to life with help from a spunky but doomed 12-year-old girl named Syd.
The story itself and the creation of the character Syd - a precocious 12-year-old loner with green hair and a great deal of personality played by Francesca Catalano - are largely influenced bywhat he experienced while raising his daughter.
Casting Syd as the foil for Finnegan Jones - a depressed and insecure 40-year-old man living with his overbearing mother and Tourette's syndrome - proved difficult.

 Acne linked to suicidal thoughts
One third of teenagers with bad acne have suicidal thoughts and more than one tenth have made an attempt on their life, a landmark study has found.
The team said the relationship between the condition, depression and suicide has not been fully investigated but it may be that the skin problem is not to blame for the emotional issues.
Students with depression and anxiety may be more likely to rate their acne as more severe, or it may be another factor in adolescence that affects both problems simultaneously.

 Let There be Light
Light therapy also often causes acute, though usually mild and transient, side effects, such as eyestrain, headaches, nausea, disturbed sleep, and overstimulation, which can take the form of nervousness, irritability, nutty euphoria, or even mania.
Most serious of all, a patient at a SAD clinic in Vienna became "overwhelmingly" suicidal, while two others actually tried to kill themselves within a week of starting light therapy.
The psychiatrists there suspect light is doing what antidepressant drugs sometimes do: activating depressives before it lifts their mood, giving them the impetus to act on suicidal feelings.

Most commonly, nervous breakdowns are short, normally not lasting more than a week; however they are often the external symptom of an underlying mental illness that if left untreated can lead to serious repercussions and have a lifelong effect on the sufferer.

 Doctor Who in this month's Viz - Roobarb's DVD Forum
Suicidal Syd (the character that's always trying to kill himself - self-explanatory really!) stumbles upon the Doctor Who location filming and attempts to get himself killed by taunting a pack of obsessive Who fans.
There's an attention to detail there that belies the fact that the artist must be a fan - it even references an issue of DWM using the correct date and issue number!
Syd is drawn by Lew Stringer (of many, many old UK comics, especially IPC ones), who definitely has fannish tendencies in general - I met him at a Prisoner convention, and he has certainly littered strips with Prisoner references before.

DBT also has been adapted to treating substance-abusing individuals with BPD and shown to be effective for this population.
