    Once or twice but the rational side of me always takes over.

    Thought about it, not in the literal sense that I'm going to do it, mainly in a curious sense i.e when I'm sitting in a car on the motorway and I wonder what if I opened the door now?

      Same. It's more of an exploring your options and wondering how they'd play out. That doesn't make us crazy, does it?

      Don't let them win!

    I've tried many times, I tried lots of things - cutting myself, pills, hanging myself, throwing myself to a street full of cars, I even drank bleach. Then, I give up. Clearly, someone above wants me to suffer.

    Never. If you feel suicidal then you should probably end it with no questions asked.

  • In some point of my life I have been very suicidal.I know, it was so foolish if I had succeeded because I wouldn't be here typing away my thoughts then.

    Anyway,i finally outgrew the childish notion that I will be loved more if the people in my life will feel threatened that I will succumb.LOL

    I've often thought of it myself. I was so depressed that I couldn't stand to be with myself. If you've ever been seriously depressed you understand what I mean. After being in the hospital with others who suffered the same dark thoughts, I came to look at my situation a little differently. Of course there were meds involved as well. I thought about ending my life and what it would mean. I thought I want to escape from the constant pain but realized if I did do it. It would be FOREVER. I shared that realization with others and some of them took a new direction. FOREVER IS FOREVER. NO MORE ME> THATS IT. I still have some tough days but I do my best to get thru them even tho I may cry and feel miserable I just hope that the next day will bring something better. And with the support of my hubby I get through.

    Yeah I think about it at night when I'm trying to fall asleep. I usually think about jumping off a high building or even climbing out my window and jumping (2nd story bedroom, wouldn't kill me, ik) I'd never do it though.

  • About 3 times although there was a lot of times where I wanted to but didn't quite, if you get me.

    I did following a car accident 20 years ago. I had head injuries that led to clinical depression and I couldn't walk with extreme back pain, then my mother decided to be a hateful bitch to add to my problems. I saved my tablets and rang my cousin at work to say goodbye, she held me on the line while she rang my husband. He was home in 5 minutes, searched my room and found the tablets under the mattress.

    Another time I almost cut off all my hair - but I'd seen a programme on TV and a girl (who was a nutter) did this. So I somehow held off doing this, convinced I wasn't like her! Though I actually was at that time ;o)

    Thinking about suicide isn't typical, period.
