  • Sorry it's a long one i'll write in replies.A year ago I nearly killed myself. I had looked up how to and tied a rope from my skylight so I could hang myself, I didn't write a note as there was nothing to say other than the usual I don't care for or want my life and that I couldnt see myself getting out of the state I was in. I was going to smoke a joint and do it, during the joint my mum phoned to tell me she was near and was getting some food and asked if I wanted to grab something to eat. I realised that despite everything I wasn't selfish enough to kill myself.

    • I'm so glad you made the right decision. Well done in conquering that mountain, coming out of that darkness. Yes, it is a very selfish thing. I've been suicidal in that past and in the times I thought about suicide I tried to come up with ways I could do it which would make it seem like an accident (eg. driving my car into a tree.) I determined that many came at a risk of actually surviving only to be horribly impaired. Thankfully I'm through that now, but yeah suicide is one of the most selfish things a person can do because it leaves the living with so much baggage for the rest of their lives. You not only kill yourself, you kill a part of them, too.

    • For a while I resented myself for not doing it, I thought I'd have to live with this constant pain and feeliing of detatchment from everything for the rest of my life but now I know that killing myself would have been a massive massive mistake, sure i'm still not happy overall with my life and I have days in which feel down but I still find enjoyment in many things and I think that one day I will be fully content with my life, I can feel myself building towards it. I know you weren't talking about suicide but just because you dont value your life now it doesn't mean you wont at some point
