Suicidal

Adjective - used to describe someone or something that is in pursuit of ending their existence (or dying.) There are a few uses of the word. First is literally suicidal : At a certain moment, someone is actively trying to end their life. Second is basically suicidal : At any given moment, from minutes to years, someone wouldn't mind being dead. They are comfortable with death when it comes. (Their brain will tell them that they shouldn't die, because their brains are wired to prevent extinction of humans.) Third is commonly suicidal : From one moment to a lifetime; A person may have mild thoughts of suicide, but would never actually kill themselves because they see the "good" in life. Forth is jokingly suicidal : Any time someone is describing someone else by their actions in a playful matter. Their actions being something that could get them killed. Fifth is sympathetic suicidal : Used to describe someone who is pathetic enough to fake suicide or act like they are going to kill themselves, in order to draw attention to them (to gain a person's sympathy.) Commonly used in arguments as a weapon to strike fear into people. Unfortunately in todays world, if you are described as suicidal you are almost always placed into the sympathetic suicidal category. Considering the rise of suicide rates, this isnt always the case. It is easier for people to deal with a friend or loved one acting suicidal if they tell themselves that this person is just begging for attention.
