Is it normal that i want to get run over by a car?

Well um basically, I am suicidal to begin with. Just that I never really got enough guts to do it whenever I think about the people around me who might be upset if I just leave after so long. But the fact that I want to die is still there, haunting me for years already. So usually when there is a car on the road that look like it might hit me, I will instinctively rush back to wherever that is safe. However, today when I saw this black car coming, I actual had a weird feeling. I felt unusually calm and I actually wanted to get hit by the car so I stood there instead of going back onto the pavement. My mum pulled me back since we were kind of jaywalking and all I seemed to have done is space out on the road. She didn't know what I was thinking of course. IIN?

  • Getting hit by a car is really noway to go out. You'll probably survive and have at least three broken bones. Then you'll feel like an idiot in a hospital room making up excuses of what happened.

    What you should probably do, im no doctor just a jedi shaman, is talk to people about how you feel. Like a close friend or relative. Or the mailman if you want to funnily fuck up his day.

    Communication is key to see the light again in the dawning of our days. The sun also rises. It has to.

  • Will you or your family be able to afford the medical expenses if you were to survive? How do you think that your actions would make the driver of that car feel? If you aren't killed, he may fear being sued for hitting you, even though it was your fault that he hit you. If he kills you, how do you think that's going to have an effect on him? For the rest of his life, he's going to have to leave with this fact? It may be traumatic for him. He may become depressed or feel depressed. A lady who used to live in the same neighbourhood as my mum, when she was a child, accidentally backed over on a child on a bike and killed. She didn't mean to do it. She could see him. She was alienated by her neighbours and she became depressed so, she ended up moving. If you try to take yourself out this way, you're selfish. Regardless of how you try to kill yourself, someone will still feel the effect of it.

  • I agree with Faceless totally. If you get run over...you could be in a far worse position than now. You need to talk to someone. Maybe its a chemical imbalance? You can take medication for that.

  • Listen to Faceless.
    Also consider the driver of the car you want to jump in front of. If that driver kills you, they will go to jail and be scarred for the rest of their lives. If they put you in a hospital, they will get sued again!
    Both ways the driver and their family & friends suffer. So either way you are ruining several other lives for no reason.
    Pick up your life and live on.

  • That's terribly thoughtless of you.
    When I was suicidal, at least I wasn't planning to include an innocent bystander in it(jumping
    in front of a car or train is going to traumatize other people!) But that's not the point, you would probably not end up dying but be in a lot of pain and paralyzed or something terrible.
    You need to get help, I have felt bad enough to want to kill myself but it is NOT the answer. Check yourself into an ER if you have to but get some help.

  • If you want to be dead, then just stab yourself in the face with a kitchen knife. If you do it right, it should be painless.

  • Yeah, sometimes I wish some freak accident would end me. It's not a good thing to think though and we both probably need help.

    There's a song I found interesting, it makes me feel better and it's called suicide;stigma. Suicide doesn't end the pain, it passes to the ones you love and remains.
