Poll: Have you ever thought about commiting suicdie?

[Vern]

Round misfired, realized what I had tried to do and thought for a few hours. I can't really think of doing it now, it's selfish considering how it would affect all the people that care about me. I can't imagine putting my family through the pain of my death, especially at my own hands after all the love they've given me.

 

[Adzma]

It's never to late to recieve help. I presonally have grown up with both my parents beeing more or less constantly drunk. Imagine some 20 years of that shit.
Some help is ALLWAYS better than no help at all. Don't convince yourself otherwise.

The issue is that I don't believe anyone can help with my problems.

 

[Segadroid]

I never really stood still long enough to think about it.

It might help to tell us why you have those thoughts, though.

 

[CrazyMedic]

I have only thought about it during bouts of intense chronic pain other then that I can't say I have ever thought about during depression.

 

[MelziGurl]

Many times a long time ago, was going to but backed out everytime. It's not an appealing thought when you think about your parents walking into their kitchen and their daughter dead on the floor from her wrists being slit.

 

[Elric_de_Melnibone]

No, I have not ever thought about it, no matter how hard life was at times.

That's just not me.

 

[007dog900]

Thought about it? Yes

Considered it? Hell no!

Hell, i'm soon 15, then i can go to the movie theater and watch movies with 15+ ratings without parents!
I'm Soon done with middle school, and after that i'm off to high school, and probably even getting my own apartment, life can only get better! (it CAN get worse, but then you stop being sad and start being awesome, then everyone around you will think you're awesome, and you will get sex!)

Also chocolate milk!

 

[Owlslayer]

Yeah, i have. Noone really knows it, too. Back when i was a lot younger (like 13 or 14 or such) i had a huge bullying problem. Basically, at that time i never wanted to go to school again, since it was a living hell for me. It was a really bad time in my life, and yes, every once in a while, when i was depressed like hell, i seriously thought about jumping out of the window headfirst or going to the medicinal shelve and eating random stuff. And those were serious thoughts, not just "what if...". I hated my life.

But, now it's all better. Don't really understand how it happened, but i got better. I visited some doctors and stuff, but i don't think they helped much. No problems now, and feels great. But yeah, that's a part of my life i do not like looking back at. Hope you get better, too.

 

[Estocavio]

Ive never though about it.
Think of it this way: Suicide = Unproductive, and therefore = Pointless.

 

[mad825]

Hmm, interesting poll results. I wonder if there is an evolutionary point to suicide?

look up Thantos aka death drive.

I don't think evolution has a part in this but it might be a side effect of our intelligence

 

[Nouw]

My life is awesome. No need to think about it. Although I have...

My life is too awesome to think about it. Also

 

[Jirlond]

As everyone i've briefly thought about it for like a second, it just can't be helped.

But in terms of contemplated seriously about it? no, suicide is the be all end all - you cant take it back. you might miss out on somethin great.

Have you even tried ?
You sound like you don't even bother to try.
If you suffer as much as you say then you really should seek profesional help. You are far from alone in this vast world with problems.
Start looking for groups, therapists, anything... talk to people (this place is a good start)... just do something about it !

I haven't sought out professional help no. I've just spoken to very close friends about it. It's complicated and difficult to go in to over the internet, but from my point of view it isn't as simple as seeking professional help.

 

[Kwaren]

I think this is relevant to the thread. I have been to the brink of a self inflicted dirt nap more times than I care to remember.

 

[Nemu]

Nope.

Honestly, no, as I am WAY too narcissistic and arrogant to fathom life on this planet without -me-.

And, really, I think anyone who thinks seriously about killing themselves is weak and lazy. EVERYONE has a bad day/situation/break-up/loss/wtf-ever. You are NOT special, you need to suck it up and adjust and move on. "Pick yourself up by the bootstraps" is a cliché, but it's true. Find a way to work it out, but stop being so self-involved and whiny about YOUR problems, cos yer not the only one with them.

I may sound callous, but I just can't stand that selfish, weak-willed mentality.

 

[irequirefood]

I do think about it a lot, but I have a fascination with death so I think nothing of it. I have only seriously considered it once, but it would hurt too many other people to go through with it, and I felt that since my best friend was going through a similar thing I would help him out of it, and in doing so hopefully would make me feel better too.

If you need a positive thing, just look towards the people who care about you, and how much they would miss you if you ever went through with something like that. It might be hard to get past, but this kind of thing is never easy :/

 

[Boris Goodenough]

Constantly.
