    Eh I'll probably shootmyself In 40-50 years. After 70 I have no desire to be around

    I've never thought of doing that.

    And I really think that the small pool of people on this site who are answering the poll do not represent the larger population. Most of the posts on here are depressing, which makes it look like this website is a place that depressed people congregate.

    I have had a couple of failed attempts, people finding me soon after taking the pills etc. Have considered walking in front of a train or similar but would hate to traumatise the driver and would prefer to give my family an open casket.

    I think about it a lot. My son had tried twice. If he ever succeeds, I will probably follow.

    Nice one.
    we all die.
    Im not sure why such a big deal is made of when and how.
    As it relates to suicide.
    It was the persons CHOICE.
    I feel much more rage, sadness, confussion and sence of loss.
    When people die but it wasnt by choice.
    like car wrecks, cancer, or mass shootings.

    I don't think about it as much as I used to do, but I have made three attempts in my near 49 years of existence.

    The stigma about depression, and mental illness makes it very hard for a lot if people to get help.

        Thanks! The last time I felt really terrible enough to make an attempt was in late 2006.

            Thanks, I still live with depression and anxiety, but it's been a good while since it was really bad.

    Minutely. I miss my soulmate. She did it. Her Brother and Mother as well. If it wasn't for my cats I would to. And my parents and friends don't need any more funerals.

    My thought of suicide usually subside once i leave my boring-ass job where I work for a bunch of squat-hole nosers.

    Hell they might as well carry a sign around pointing to their mouths that says "insert penis" when corporate comes around.

    I work five days a week so... about five days a week i think of it.

      I know you are an atheist, but you are blessed to have never felt this way.

    You didn't offer options for attempted.
    But, Currently depends.
    Usually at least once a week.
    Summer cheers me up.
    Rain, cold, grey, dark, short days
    They aren't good for me.

      The weather etc has a strong influence on most people's mood. But at least you know what triggers these dark thoughts and that tomorrow you will probably be fine.
      Nothing is worth suicide.
