Poll: Have you ever thought about commiting suicdie?

[Guitarmasterx7]

yeah I've considered it. Less out of depression and more as a result of my nihilistic views on life combined with boredom, laziness, or curiosity. Never to the point where I actually honestly wanted to kill myself, but I would be lying if I said it's never crossed my mind.

I think the thought has probably crossed most peoples mind at some point...Everyone is too scared to say it though as the will get thrown on the whole depression bandwagon..If your in a bad mood nowadays, people think you have signs of "depression" and need to "talk" lol.

Yep, think about it all the bloody time. I made a decision, if I ever get my hands on a gun, thats it, bye. Besides, my mental state is that of a freaking malkavian without all the laughter and pranks.

Dude, guns, mess , blood and god forbid the chance that it DOESN'T kill you...See my post a couple of posts up. It doesn't need to be done violently

I've gone through some tough times in my life where I thought of how easy it would be to end my suffering, but I don't believe in an afterlife and life is something that you get only once, so make the best of it and live it to its fullest.

 

[AndyFromMonday]

I've thought of suicide on a number of occasions. I'm to much of a pussy to do it though. Then there's the death factor...

 

[linwolf]

No, I have never thought about killing myself.
I like my life so have never felt depression, sure I have been miserable at times but never for long.

 

[Yarggg]

I think suicide is a terrible thing to do to yourself. There are just so many reasons to live. Other than being depressed about one thing and going oh well.. BANG! Just think about what you can do to improve the thought and what your going to do about it.

 

[dalek sec]

Thought about it alot somedays, just a lot of depression and self loathing and I just usally bottle it up or ignore it.

I have attempted suicide. I was struggling with gender dysphoira growing up and dealing with the constant bullying for "acting" like a girl. I tried to drown myself at 7 in a relative's pool by jumping in the deep end with my pockets stuffed full of rocks.

Then later in my teens I tried via sleeping pills (at the hospital, my dad said I should have 'shot myself like a real man'.

I tried a hanging not long after and had even blacked out for a few minutes. When I came to for a few bleary moments, my feet were still dangling in the air. There was little blood flow going to my brain, so I had a difficult time thinking coherently. I thought my bracelot was choking me even though I was still hanging... my struggle to get off the bracelot caused the rope to shift from its fulcrum position which is the only reason I am here today.

I am not that way anymore though. I have not tried for many years and don't feel the need to anymore. There is nothing painless about any attempts so don't believe Hollywood. If anyone ever needs to chat, send me an email.

I had thought about it once upon a time. Thank God that's over. I would have missed out on some really cool stuff.

 

[Revolutionary]

Wow those results are really suprising.

 

[NewGeekPhilosopher]

Think of it this way.

In the month of March I spent six weeks worrying about whether my blogger buddy on the other side of the world would kill himself. He was severely depressed and was worried his parents would judge him if he asked them to book him into a shrink.

I lost sleep for six weeks tending to this guy, like a human Tamagotchi - only it was the highest stakes Tamagotchi I ever played. If he did do himself in, I would have considered myself a failure as a friend to have helped him. Suicidal thoughts don't just worry you - they worry other people close to you.

Think about it. That blogger buddy was on the other side of the world from me - across a freaking ocean - I couldn't afford to fly over there wherever he was to help. All I had was my words, and thankfully he's still alive and seeing a shrink now. I don't think I'll ever forget how harrowing the experience of dealing with somebody else's suicidal thoughts was. It made me contemplate topping myself off - until I realised - I got a life to live.

Always do, every single day. Came close to doing it in December last year, but backed out at the last second because I'm a coward. I was in the process of running my car into a light pole at top speed without my seatbelt, but after hitting 90kph (56 miles for those of you on the Imperial system) I couldn't go any further.

My life has been miserable for the last three years, slowly spiraling further and further down hill. My problem is so bad that it haunts me everywhere I go; when I'm out shopping, waiting for the train, driving my car, walking to University, talking to friends, spending time with the family, eating lunch, you get the idea.

I used to be happy, every day was another sweet marshmallow out of a never ending bag, but that eventually stopped. I hate life now. Every time I experience something uplifting, it's torn away from me in the manner of one step forward, two giant leaps back. I've prepared though. If I go for another attempt I've told my friends about last time so they're prepared for it.

They want me to get help, but I'm beyond that point now. You on the other hand should, you don't want to end up like me. I would never wish my life on another person, not even my worst enemies.

Suicide does nothing good. It's a selfish way to go. You will probably just leave behind a lot of angry people who would have liked to see you deal with your problems in a smarter way.

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.

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

Thought about it? Of course.
Ever seriously considered? Hell, no.
Just imagining what kind of misfortune that would bring to my family makes me regard this as impossible.

 

[replingham153]

i did for 5 seconds and realized it was stupid and pointless. What good would it do for my family?

 

[Kortney]

Never thought about, I'm not the type of person who would ever do it. No matter how bad my life is, I am always naturally optimistic.

 

[Aur0ra145]

Nope, never even thought about it.

But here are two songs about suicide for the Escapists out there. Extra points for who ever can name the video game the second video came from.
