    HOLY SHIT.

    Did 96 people really at some time in their lives attempt to kill themselves? I'm on a weird-ass website.

    When I was younger it was a lot worse than it is now; I would do stupid shit like self-harm, self medicate etc but now I find purpose in more things and appreciate life though of course at times that momentary 'stuck-in-a-runt' depression kicks in and I wonder if it would be better if I was just gone but thankfully I've always lived to see the bad turn into good once again.

    I've tried a few times and failed. My contemplations outweigh my actions.

    I've considered it. What stopped me was thinking that knowing my luck I'd survive and that'd make life worse. Counselling and anti depressants helped so much. I hope you can work through it all. I had a friend who killed himself coming up to four years ago now. It still tears me up that he couldnt get past the pain and that there was nothing I could do to help him.

  • The reason I'm still alive is because I'm stuborn and competative. I won't suicide because I dont want to be called a coward. I dont want people to think I gave up and lost. After such thought I think of my love ones. I dont want to leave them behind. I want to smile and see the smile. Share so many more memories to come. I'd never give up my life but sometimes I lose hope but thats when I have to dust myself off and get back up again. I won't lose to the world just yet. I have to remember what I'm living and fighting for!

    The only thing that kept me from killing myself was fear of God.

    I think sometimes. And normally I want to wait till just before the day I die, I will do everything then commit suicide and blame on a person who deserves it because they have had such a bad heart. But I'll probably chicken out half way through so...

    I think about it daily, and plan constantly. Just want to find the quickest and least painful way.

    My life is pretty good but I'm not going to lie and say I've never thought that it would be very easy just to end it all at that particular moment. I tend to catch myself thinking weird thoughts when I'm bored :/

    It's normal to think about suicide once in a while, because life is too crappy at times. Back then I used to think about suicide alot because I was usually sad, but now I only think of it once in a blue moon.

    theres a thick, long, hard, veiny line between thinking about it and doing it

    Yea, a few times because I'm an existential nihilist and my life isn't too "exciting" but I wouldn't actually do it... and as a side note I would advise against it. (Hang yourself, you break your neck and survive, slit wrists, survive and get called "emo cutter" drown self, wake up to hairy man giving you mouth to mouth, jump from building or in front of car, wake up in vegetative state or ICU unable to say "pull the plug")

    I wish I hate enough guts to it but I really am a wimp. I wouldn't be able to, and I could never do it either.

    For me anymore, it's not even suicide or a way out or an end to pain. It's just the next logical step. I won't bore you with the whole story, but at thirty five, I think I've done all the things I'm ever going to be able to do and now I'm just kind of sitting around waiting to die.

    There are other people who could benefit from me not taking up resources that are just wasted on me.

    its mostly stress related, the idea and the action are separate like comparing someone watching a cartoon or a movie of someone killing themselves and the act itself , something goes for murder

    I'm the same as you. Sometimes life gets so down I wish it would end, but I think of those I care about and who care about me who I would hurt a lot and I don't see the point. I tell myself life would be better in 10 years time, so that encourages mee to keep living.

    See a doctor or something, it might help.

    I had some major issues growing up and was suicidal for a while. I wanted to die so bad but the thought of what that would have done to my family was just awful. I grew up a bit and no longer felt suicidal. These days I have my moments, but it is never the answer!! Never!! I wouldn't have had my daughter, who is the best kid in the universe. So don't even think about it, as shitty as things may be, there's always something you could do to make it a bit better

    It's normal for a person to get the thought of doing it, just don't let it get u or else?! Best thing to do is join an activity or sport nd take ur anger out.... Don't go over the limit !!

    ofcourse, but dont. if ur even a bit religious. if your not, then forget what im saying, and if you wanna kill yourself try to enjoy your life as much as possible, since your dying anyway your not gonna lose anything. you might change your mind later....
