    No, but I've heard of a guy who tried to hang himself in his barn but accidentally used a rope that was much too long. Instead of killing himself he fell on the floor and broke both of his legs in the process.

      Now that's really dumb. Now I bet he's more depressed that he's too dumb to even commit suicide correctly.

    Yes. And I died. Gunshot to the hand. I bled out through my pinkie finger. Took a few weeks, but it did the trick.

    Suicide is never the answer to any problem. What you leave behind is a lot more dreadful for your family than any situation you are facing right now.

    Dont even think about it, it's not an option.

    Yes. I've thought about it plenty of times, and I tried to hang myself once.

    I've played "Russian roulette" exactly four times. Once was with a five-shot revolver.

    Yep I've thought about it on more than one occasion. I even prepared suicide notes and said who can get what. The reason why I never went through with it was because of the pain I'd feel and in the back of my mind I always felt that something better would come along for me so I held on. Even now I have odd moments where I get extremely overly depressed where I'll be like 'Oooh man I just wanna die!' but I don't. Also, if it wasn't for my family then I really would've been gone a long time ago.

    Please don't kill yourselves.

    No matter how depressing and shitty you think your life is, killing yourself is the wrong thing to do.

    Grow up and appreciate the wonderful gift you have called life.

    The reason we all live in what we call 'the present' is because life is truly a gift.

    If you don't think so then wait until you die naturally when it's your time because you'll have an eternity to be 'dead' if you so choose.

    If it were so easy you'd be bored to tears so look forward to life's challenges as a game you're playing and the goal is to win before you die naturally.

    Now grow up and accept the challenge you chose called life, you dickheads :)

      Life is not a gift when it's shitty and I didn't ask to be born. I'm the only one who has a say on when I want to end it as it is mine. I will never listen to religious bigots or do-gooders who are afraid of their own mortality.

        Lol.

        Waaaaaaa! Waaa! Waaaa!!!

        Call the WAAAAmbulance!

        Ok, did you get over yourself now Jr.?

        I got news for you dude, everyone's life gets shitty sometimes.

        What are your issues? I can help you get over them and fix your shit.

        I already know you can't get laid so most guys right there will cry like babies about how life isn't fair.

        Guess what?

        LIFE ISN'T FAIR.

        So what?

        Fix your shit or you've got no reason to complain.

        Btw, I could care less about what religious brainwashed douchebags or do-gooders say.

        What are your issues?

          My issues are none of your business and your mocking me isn't going to help either. You are just one of the bullies. Perhaps it's better if you shot yourself too. Do the world a favour and kill yourself.

            I'm not mocking you boy, I was trying to help you.

            If you aren't going to talk about your issues then you aren't looking to improve your life.

            Your choice but the world waits for no one.

            A bully? LOL wrong again.

            Good luck with fixing your personal problems.

      Large caliber gunshot to the head.

      You'd think pills would be painless but it's not. You're painfully aware that you are losing life moment by moment. Your mind scrambles to hold on while your body struggles to physically stay alive.

        People who get shot in the head don't always die. Sometimes they still live. Sometimes they also don't die instantly and suffer for hours and die later.

          That's why I specified large caliber, dummy. Something that would most definitely blow your head completely off, or take out a sizeable chunk. Find me a person who survived a (DIRECT, and AIMED, close-range)shot to the head from a .50 cal...idiot.

          Now go away, you're annoying.

        problem is, I don't have access to a gun. Here in Europe it is probably a bit harder than in the US. Any other ideas?

          Just because YOU don't have access to a gun doesn't mean you can't get shot. There's always suicide by cop. Buy a water gun or toy gun, spray paint it black so it looks real from afar, plot a scenario in which you'll attract police attention (robbery, etc), create a stand-off with several cops, charge at them with your "gun" drawn...it's a done deal....probably. Likely. Most likely.

          Then, even if you survive, you'll probably go to prison, it's real easy to get killed in prison.

          Why am I telling you this? I hope you are joking, and I'm not responsible for your actions....

    Not sure if this counts but was shitfaced on a cruise with my mum and my best mate and me, her and a few others were messing about at the back of the ship and I thought it'd be funny to try reinact "the i'm flying jack" scene and would've literally been sleeping with the fishes had it not been for someone pulling me back. Seemed novel at the time but looking back was probably the single most stupid thing i've ever done.

    Tried to hang myself and was successful, until somebody found me and revived me. Woke up in ICU, spent a week there, then onto the looney bin for another couple weeks.

    Cant say whether I am thankful I was saved or not, but I can say at the time I attempted I absolutely 100% wanted to die.

    Probably attempt it again at some point, just sucks that the damn gun laws in my state are so stringent.
