Suicide?

[Empathy]

Jah...I only tried once...and that was because of a fight with a friend...I actually tried to drown myself in her pool..o.o;;; Which is really hard to do when you know how to swim...it ain't something you can forget...Needless to say, I'm still alive, and I'm quite happy...thanks for your input. I'm glad that there are a few of you who feel the same way I do about suicide....and others that feel different...Either way, its in the past now...so jah...Thanks guys ^_^;;;

[color=darkgreen][font=gothic]I don't want to go back to this place, but I thought I would say something.

I had very, very bad psychological problems for a few years, since I was six or so, until about last year. Suicide, I tell people when I comfort and counsel them, is a sign of great weakness. But really, it is a very, very hard thing to do. I should know, I have tried a countless number of times and in so many different ways. I'm still here. My arms have been grafted, I have had a major blood transfer, I have lived in psychiatric hospitals most of my life but it's over now and everything is wonderful. I never thought it would get this good, but it did. Nothing is impossible, that's right kids, Even ol' Raven can sound like a supportive, uplifting twit. I'm just giving you my story. And just because I have new skin doesn't mean I don't have scars, just ask Harlequin...

It takes strength, but it takes weakness... the main thing though is that it doesn't matter WHAT IT TAKES because you DON'T kill yourself to impress people. Pennylee Janke might try, but it would be a blessing if she did.

I don't have anything to say in summary that won't make me sound like an idiot. I don't care what I sound like really, I just don't want to say something someone has said to me and made me thought, "Hey, that person has been no help whatsoever. She pulled that line out of a handbook, I swear..."

[color=crimson]Haha. Empathy, you are still out for pity. Your life doesnt suck at all, and yet you are depressed.

Whatever Jess.

Suicide is murder. I think a person want to commit suicide only at that movement, after that, it's over.

Death cannot be reverse

[color=royalblue]I hate to say it, but I think about 90% of the people here who are talking about suicide (and their own personal experience) are most likely just seeking attention. Remember, I did say [i]most likely[/i].

I don't know anyone on this Board so I can't speak for them, but it seems to me that the fact that many people who attempt suicide do so to draw attention to themselves does not make their pain and suffering any less real.

Just try to imagine the kind of hell you must be in when the only way you think you can express yourself is to hurt yourself.

[color=teal]I have a funny story about suicide, actually.

The other day, I was browsing AE Boards when a topic caught my eye. I entered it, and the topic starter said that they had gotten an aim message from [i]me[/i] that I was going to commit suicide. I, of course, reported this to be false, and told them that whoever had sent that has no life whatsoever.

Well, last night I got an aim from someone who said that their brother had sent the message. The crazy thing is, he didn't know who I was. o.O

As for me, I've never really thought about suicide. I have so much to live for, and to just throw your life away for the sake of a few things is worthless.

I really believe in Jame's post. Most people who threaten to commit suicide really don't want to die. They think that by getting people to think that they will, they will get anything that they want. Suicidals don't want to end life, they want to change life, and they think that the only way to do that is to get everyone's attention.[/color]

I thought of it a lill few times even when im pretty young, but I allways kick it out cause my life isnt bad enough to do it :)
Sumtimes im just Extremely exausted! :all:

[Avalon]

Well, good question. I wish I saw this earlier. I have. Many times...but everytime I tried, I didn't die or I couldn't do it. I think everyone has thought of doing it once before. No one, to me, hasn't thought about it. It's probably the people that get teased a lot and worry about their appearance so much that it drives them to that. But, it's just my opinion...

[Boo]

Im just so exausted that I give :)
So ur opinion isnt totally right :D J/K

[Genkai]

CB once made me almost do it. yes, it was real folk blues pt. 1 and 2. it was 4 a.m., and i had watched it two hours earlier. i drank a lot of tea. i watched a candle melt. and then i opened a drawer and just stared at one of our steak knives. i was really close. i talked a bit about this in the saddest moments of anime thread, i just couldn't take it. i was crying and i just looked at the knife. i grasped it in my sweaty hand, i wasn't sure if i believed that i would do it. then i thought of all i had to live for, and how ****in selfish it would be of me. if i dont wanna live, i should help other people to live life to the fullest, right? and everyone would be so sad. that was the moment i realized people cared about me. so, at 12 years old, i went down that road and turned back. i still have those little under-thoughts of it, but that's all. sigh...... yup. :|

[B]One of my friends was suicidal, but he was overdosed on Rittalin and tried to jump out his window. He's a little nuts still, but I'm starting to shape him into a model human by throwing his Rittalin away so he doesn't take it. [/B][/QUOTE]
God, I know how he feels. Riddelin doesn't make me go phsyco, but it doesn't work at all on me. So they gave me this harder stuff called Concerta. I went beserk, I questioned my religion, my existense, my family, everything. I just wanted to end it all right there. I told my Mom about it and that was the last time I have ever taken one. ;)

Everyone is sick of life sometime in their lives. Whether they think of suicide, I don't know. Suicide is like running away, there's always payback for it. My ever think of suicide, no, but I've sometimes thought very hard about why I'm here and why life is so hard....but not suicide. Suicide is to easy, if life weren't a challenge then it wouldn't be fun.

[B]To never be tempted by the soothing embrace of eternal nothingness is to never have known the excruciating agony of day to day living...life is a wonder to revere, a joy to behold and a sadness to experience...its not all sugar and candy, which is a good thing....cos I'm kinda allergic to glucose...;) [/B][/QUOTE]


YES!!!!!!! I not only agre, but worship you now. j/k. nicely done though. I totally agree. I know people right now that are rather angry that there life isn't going there way. I only have this to say " To bad. Go cry about it" I dont really want to hear many more sob stories. I love hearing that, however, I would like to make sure people can realize that life isn't peachy keen. it is the biggest Vaccum Cleaner around, and wont stop till it has nothing left to suck.

[DeathKnight]

[color=crimson]Optimists should shut up, and Pessimests should shut up. Thats my veiw.

I dont want to hear about how your life sucked, your dad beat you, and your mom yelled at you. But I also dont want to hear about your great day, and how much money you made, and how many of your popular friends said you looked good.

Never really thought about killing myself. I just perfer dieing of age.

[Lady Macaiodh]

[COLOR=darkblue]not quite sure how to answer this one, but i'll try.

i was too afraid that i was going to hell if i did (even though i really don't believe in hell), & also emotionally destroying my loved ones, so i never made a [i]serious[/i] attempt. but i still regret even that b/c my arm is all scarred up, & it's really embarassing & ugly.

i also wouldn't do it nowadays b/c i want to see what happens next. i've learned from my mistakes & hardships. it doesn't mean i won't make more mistakes, or worse ones, or that bad things which i can't control won't happen... but i'm growing more every day.

i look forward to the future.. it's almost scary, but exhilerating. it's like when you're about to go over the first hill of a roller coaster. & no matter how horrible things feel, i know i'll feel better later.

plus, i wouldn't want to die feeling miserable.[/COLOR]

[Semjaza]

Well, if you are a pessimist you are either right or pleasantly surprised lol.

I have a lot of friends who have attempted it... No one I know has really actually finished it though. I don't know what happens after you die, but I can't imagine it's all that much better than living. Personally, I think it's worth dealing with all the BS because every so often something great happens and makes up for all of it.

Oh believe me, I know what it's like. I'm just saying that [i]most[/i] people who threaten to commit suicide are people who are primarily doing it to seek attention from those around them.

The desire to commit suicide is wholly different from actually doing it, also. If you feel that your life is not worth it...well, then you're obviously depressed. Most people don't make that jump and commit suicide. They either just remain depressed or they self-mutilate. But even then, they don't actually kill themselves.

So yeah, I'm not trying to undercut the seriousness of suicide (especially the effect that it has on family and friends), I'm just saying that 90% of the people who talk about it constantly are people who are attention seekers and aren't interested in actually doing it.[/color]

The people who aren't looking for attention are already dead...

[Roxie Faye]

[color=indigo]I've never thought about suicide(not after what my sister tried), but I have thought about running away several times. Whenever I cry, my mom always tells me to shut the hell up and stop crying, which makes me cry even more, and then I want to run away. She gets me so upset.

Anyways, this is about suicide, not running away. I really don't have anything to say about suicide, except maybe "don't try it" which has been said by almost everyone here.[/color]

[COLOR=darkblue]ah, yes, i get what you're saying now.

that is true. people go through the motions of trying to commit suicide, in order for someone to find them & freak out, or something.

but i think "attention-getters" is a rather harsh term (even though that is essentially what they are). many people do it out of desperation, as a way of expressing to their loved ones how much pain they're in, either as a cry for help, or to be vindictive. either way, i hope those people get the help they need.[/COLOR]

[wrist cutter]

I agree with Lady Macaiodh. I don't look down upon people who commit suicide, or call them names because of what they've done... because obviously, if you're willing to kill yourself, there really is something seriously wrong. It's not a "you just want attention" sort of thing...

[Amphion]

I have never thought of killing myself. In my opinion, killing yourself because your unhappy with life is just taking the easy way out. But this is my opinion and I do not intend on offending anyone. My life has been good compared to the lives some have lived. So I have no room to try and say it is wrong. I just personally would not do it.
