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.

I've considered it a few times when I've been really depressed, but I always end up realizing that it would accomplish nothing.

considered, attempted, failed (several times), reconsidered, got rid of the thoughts after therapy (therapy due to bullying, I never told my parents I tried). Now I love life and feel I have a much more reflected view of both life and death. It also helped a lot to talk to my friends about it.

Never ... not once ... ever. I've been dealt some bad cards in my life, but it's only ever made me either bluff my poker mates, or eagerly await the next hand and hope that it's a better one.

I don't understood suicide ... studied it in uni for a psych course in Behavioural Sciences.

Still don't get it ... when life gives you lemons you make lemonade ... when life gives you complete, unmmitigating shite, you either throw it at people and make it stick to them or you wash your hands of the whole thing <.<

Simple as that o.o

I considered suicide as a teen, now I realize I had severe social anxiety at the time. Although because my half-brother died in the exact manner I had planned and attempted twice, an interesting thing happened. Everyone heard that "Tom's little brother killed himself" not knowing that we both had a youngest half brother, so those who heard this thought it was me who died.
This incident cured me of any suicidal tendencies for a long while because of the responses it provoked. Many kids who routinely bullied me had a keg party, but some who I thought were indifferent at best or malicious at worst were genuinely sorry to see me go.

Moral of the story: you never know who looks forward to seeing you smile, especially when that smile is a rarity.

it's pretty hard to imagine a human being who hasn't been through something that made him or her at least entertain empty thoughts about it.

i, myself, once pondered what would happen to myself and to those close to me while knowing i wouldn't have the stomach to do it and that i was therefore safe.
