Am i considered suicidal?

4 Comments

First off, I have never tried to kill myself. However, I do have daydreams about committing suicide. They don't usually last long, but I've been having them more frequently. I've thought about all kinds of methods. Hanging, gunshot, slitting my throat or wrists, jumping off a cliff or building, overdosing. Sometimes when I'm not fantasizing, I get the urge to cut myself. I never done it though. These thoughts don't scare me or make me feel sad or anything. I don't consider myself depressed. I've been a "gloomy" person since I was a child so it's just my personality. I am very self conscious but again I don't think that has anything to do with depression.

    A word of advice.
    Considering is one thing.
    acting is another.
    whats worse than death?
    A failed attemt, that leaves you crippled.
    I wont say do or dont do.
    Thats your option.
    But if you do, make sure it is 100% foolproof.
    an anchor padlocked to you and jumping off a board or boat seems pretty sure to me.
    you might survive a gunshot, and then be kept alive as a vegetable against your will.
    that would suck.
    pills are hit and miss, can really hurt like hell.
    swallowing poisons might leave you crapping your guts out, feeling like theres a blowtorch in your gut.
    hanging works, takes a lot of nerve to follow through.

    Fantasizing about suicide is different from being suicidal.
    I fantasize about suicide every day but I'm not actively planning to top myself.

    You are literally fantasizing about killing yourself. How is that not considered suicidal?
    Not all suicidal people have depression.
