Why do postal workers seem to go on suicidal rampages so often??

It's because they spend their whole career in this job just waiting for that one promotion that'll make them a supervisor.  And when they get passed over for it, they look at their life as totally wasted, and someof them snap;  they'll target their co-workers, supervisors, then kill themselves.\nIt's really a shame because even if they deliver mail until they retire, their pension plan is pretty good.\nIt's a weak mind that will resort to such things after a "crisis" in their lives.  They should look at all the people who DON'T have jobs, and be thankful that THEY do.

people who do it repeatedly, and without seriously wanting to kill themselves, are generally crying out for help, frustrated and are unable to express their self hatred. it does not generally mean they are suicidal. this is more common in feamles than males, and often the result of sexual abuse that leaves them feeling dirty, ashamed and full of self hatred, hence the desire to harm themselves.\n\nmany people who overdose are not intentionall overdosing, just not good at self mediacting, or plain greedy, and often become violent and abusive when ambulance staff revive them.

That's just sick. Knowing someone who committed suicide by jumping, I nearly barfed when I saw that. There's no excuse because they don't need negative crap to sell anything.

always leave before the system goes live; and two, always set someone up to take the blame.\n\nUnfortunately this is all too accurate.\n\nIt is an attack on them.  Unfortunately the people that do this often rise in a corporation.  They get promoted before the havoc they caused is detected.  Eventually they rise above the level where they are contributing technically.  They rarely actually bear the stigma of the poor job they do

no. They were in hell while they were alive, either real or imagined. however, by committing suicide they put those around them especially those who love them through hell on earth because of the guilty of not knowing for sure why they killed themselves. it sounds like you may be experiencing this type of hell right now. remember you can't change the past only the future don't let their pain continue to hurt you after they have left.

people off themselves for tons of reasons.\ncuz they feel all hope is lost.\ncuz they feel they cannot deal with the embarassment of whatever.\ncuz they've got a severe chemical imbalance in the brain.\ncuz they've got a terrible disease that is going to cause them so much incredible suffering they'd rather take their death into their own hands.\ncuz they're so frustrated with other humans that they'd sooner off themselves rather than go on a tri-state killing spree.\n\nbasically, because certain aspects of life become so overwhelming that he/she/it cannot deal with it any longer.

It is forbidden to intentionally kill oneself. The person will repeat their act over and over in hellfires.

I try to reach their humanity or the oppositte side of their brain...here is what I mean....they are probably angry and enraged and aggitated to reach this current state... I tell them I understand their being upset however, what they are about to do will only make it worse and will magnify the problem ruining 2 lives in just a moment. I try to connect with their reasoning, that all though it seems like lashing out feels good ...nothing good will ever become of it.....and this act...They will spend the rest of their life regretting....You have a choice...Make the right choice now....

There could be two reasons\n1. they are trying to protect themselves or someone from some trouble\n\n2. They are selfish

People are against suicide because it makes them feel bad. They selfishly think of themselves and how bad they will feel about it instead of thinking about ending the suffering of a loved one.

because they're mentally ill.

Obviously they don't like themselves at all - so they take it out on the ones that are closest to them . I bet that the man thinks and wants someone do that to him . You know like people who hit themselves - it's to let the other person know that they are already hurting (inside), so it does'nt matter if they hurt them or not . Like  " watch this everyone I can be abusive ! "

My advice is for you all to get together with your co-worker and hash this problem out. Ask your boss if you can take time off from work to have a meeting about this or sacrifice your lunch hour for it.\n\nIn my opinion, there is more going on here than you are aware of. This behaviour is typical of people who are using mephetamines, for example. Her boyfriend is either not taking his prescribed medications, or is using other types of drugs. You are very right to be concerned and my first thoughts here are three things: a. Get her out of your office (is there any stress leave available?) or b. Get him out of her life (and yours), or c. Get her out of his life. Set her up with a transistion house that helps women who are victims of spousal violence. Many of them offer help up to and including getting the woman out of state to protect her from a violent partner.\n\nOther possibilities include her talking to his parents or other family members to find out if he has a history of this sort of behaviour? Perhaps they could help her get him into a treatment program of some kind. Drug rehabilitation programs spring to mind here.\n\nYou can also contact your local police office and explain the problem. They can find out for you whether he has a history of prior convictions for violent acts. If he does and you inform your co-worker, it may be an eye-opener for her. If she decides to leave him, you could all kick in some money to help her get away. She won't be able to continue at the office because he can always find her there no matter where she lives. The police may also be able to offer more advice as to what all of you can do about this situation.\n\nIf you can't do any of this things, set up a safety drill for yourselves. Make sure you all know what to do if he turns up at your workplace in order to get out of there safely and contact help. Be on the alert for him at all times. You must take this very seriously. People who get in the way can wind up dead when someone like this goes on a rampage. He might very well decide to take a few people with him before he commits suicide.

First of all, listen to the mystic man!  He is absolutely right.  Thoughts of suicide are frequent in times of desperation and anger.  It isn't a way out, it's a way into something that you know nothing about.  It feels like you are saying to the people who have failed you, "See!  Look what you finally did!!  Don't you feel terrible about the way you made my life so unhappy?"  It's a feeling like you will get the last word.  It won't be viewed that way by your friends and family.  They will say things like, "We did the best we could, we can't help it if he/she went crazy and did something like this.  He / she must have  been on drugs or in the wrong crowd."  Then you will never have your chance to prove them wrong!!    \n\nBe strong for now, we never know why we are put through the things that we are put through.  Later in life, maybe you can help some one in a position like yourself.  You can overcome what is going on now.  DO NOT let them win by breaking who you really are.  I am e-mailable, feel free to e-mail me if you wish, I just hate to see some one give up when you haven't really even started your life yet.   \n Please call one of the hotlines if you think you are in need to that one of the other people listed for you.  Just do not do anything rash that you will regret.  You may have a great future waiting for you!!   Most strong people who are very successful are that way for a reason.  You would be surprised at the people who over came the past and went on to have a life filled with success and happiness.

Whenever someone says this to the doc I work for, my response is, "And people wonder why dentists have a high suicide rate."  Don't worry, tomorrow will be better.  Just keep thinking about all the folks you are helping!   Always remember the patients who say that they can finally smile again with confidence thanks to you & your staff.
