I tried it once. Needless to say, I survived.

Now, I have a medical record that haunts me. I can't join the military because of it even though I'm perfectly fine now.

Never, it's a foolish and weak thing to do.

If your ever in doubt, ever feel you've lost the child in you.
Pick up and old videocassette of something you loved as a child and use it to cleanse out all the stuff you've seen on 4chan or in real life.
I haven't used the method myself but some of my friends say: If done right, you feel like you have the world ahead of you.
Which in reality you have until you die.

"Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem."
Wow I'm probably gonna remember that for the rest of my life.

I'm 22, had hideous teenage years. I lost about 3 friends to suicide in the space of two years and several other friends. I was alone, my family hate me and I tried it a couple of times.
I guess I started to feel I wasn't succeeding because something was keeping me here.
I fell pregnant with my daughter at 16 and frankly she saved my life. I now have two children and still suffer with depression and mental illness, it does still cross my mind. I feel like a horrible mother and I'm undeserving but I haven't tried it for years and hope I will never feel so desperate that I have to again.

My advice to anyone would be to think about the people around you. You may not think your death will affect anyone but trust me it may even be the most unlikely of people that it will haunt for the rest of their lives.

EDIT: Just so you know, I openly admit I am a complete coward.

I've sometimes pondered what the reactions of the people I know would be, but never the act itself.

If so what changed your mind?

What advice do you have for anyone currently considering suicide?

NOTE: I'm not suicidal myself. Just been hearing a lot about suicide lately.
every time i try i get caught and have to go to a mental hospital for a month. so i just said fuck it. Something in this world is gunna kill me eventually...

after all...

i am american. lol

edit: its not selfish. fags lol "what about all the people you left behind" they are welcome to join.(jk) but its more complex than that. and maybe they are selfish for wanting to "keep you" regardless of how you feel.

edit 2: for all these "quick fixes"(i.e. watching your favorite cartoon.) your not suicidal. its more complex than that too.

Suicide: weak, foolish, cowardly.

Also, in the words of Gregory House: "Living in misery is marginally better then dying in it".

Have I considered it? Sure, many times, I forget the reason why; depression screwed my memory pretty bad, but I know it wasn't entirely depression. Hell, even now I'm contemplating it; probably not seriously since it'd mainly because I'm bored and insomnia has been pestering me...I won't go through with it, otherwise I won't be able to achieve my goal: Doing whatever I can to make my girl happy and being the right one for her, while following my interests.
I can't look after her when I'm dead...
Wish I could talk to her or see her smile right now...that'd pick me up right and well right now...

I do not understand suicide.

If you are truely done with living, why not live another life.
It's true you can never entirely start over. Just move away very far, quit your job and
never contact your friends and family again.

When you started over, do something useful / helpful. Do something that you're good at.
Or just go do something totally awesome with all your money.

I've never been suicidal, so I can't tell if this will work or not. But this can give a life new meaning. I reckon one will carry it around with him, but can't you tell yourself nothing ever happened and you just want to live for something else now.

Radically changing your life might actually help to put old things in a new perspective and you might eventually forgive yourself, etc.

Considered, attempted, failed, went to therapy, had my mind changed.

That's a little harsh on the therapist. Turned out I had manic depression, and being bullied constantly wasn't exactly doing me any favours. Once I had been through a lot of therapy I came out the other side a lot healthier mentally.

Man, have I ever! I haven't ever tried it, but whenever I get really down, it does wiggle into my head. Slightly related: I personally disagree with people that try to morally talk someone out of it, by saying "You'll hurt your family!" I don't think people really on the edge would/should care, they're going to die. Who cares about someone else's feelings when they're dead?

yes.

Suffered from depression for about all of my adult life. Been to therapy for it a couple of times.

my two serious attempts were both stopped by different people who then went on to fuck me up royally. How's that for irony.

I'm dead and stuck in forum hell. There are a lot of trolls down here so my advice, don't bother... there ARE worse places than Earth.

Almost tried. Man, those 2 years were Hell to me....

Anyway, not anymore. However I think I'm suffering from SAD, but it hasn't been so severe, that I would commit suicide

I've thought about it a lot. At one point it even went so far that my ex-girlfriend had my roommate hide all of the pills in my dorm room so I couldn't try and OD. That time playing Mass Effect 2 for an entire weekend made me feel a lot better, I'm serious, Mass Effect essentially saved my life. I'm not entirely sure what keeps me around now, I don't have any friends and I'm not on good terms with most of my family. I guess eventually I realized that life kind of sucks, most of the people in it aren't worth knowing and will eventually betray you or give you some reason to not want to be around them, the only real way to deal with it is to make your life the kind of place you'd want to live in. That's what I hope I'm doing, I moved to a new town and I'm starting to study game design because throughout my entire life video games have been the only thing that have consistently made me happy.

Nope, I've always put hypothetical situations in my head in very bad cases, and thought whether dying would be better off. But every time, by a ridiculous margine, there were so many cons, and no pro's. like a previous user said, it's a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Fact is it will go away and I will move on. So why Suicide?

Nope.
Suicide is a selfish act and the cowards way out.

Face your life like you were intended to.

Read the whole book, it is under 100 pages. It can change the way you see the world.
