A lot in my last of years of Primary School (aged 9-12) and the first few years of High School. The usually reasons, been bullied felt I had no one to turn to and it would never end but my small circle of friends really help me in High School and I got over it. Glad I didn't, would have hurt my family too much and I like my life now. Got a great fiancé and my friends, just need to get a new job and then I will love my life.
Interesting. Also, reminds me a bit of myself, as I am definitely considering a future suicide as well. When I do it kind of depends on if I will ever get married or not, though.Private Custard said:
so... OT: I obviously have considered it, as I still am. Although I've been through feeling like suicide and then being happy and not thinking about it a couple of times. First time I stopped thinking about it, I don't remember why. Second time I stopped was because I found a girl who actually liked me and we started dating (over now though :/ ).
As far as advice, I don't really think it's too much in other people's hands to help suicidal people. Suicide gets called selfish, because it solves your problems but creates problems for others who care about you. But if a person "saves" someone from suicide, if you think about it, that's kind of selfish too. They just don't want to be hurt. I believe that if a person wants to commit suicide, it's their decision. Although I will say that talking to close friends definitely helps a lot. It's kept me from going through with it before.
I hated my life for its first 18 years. On a couple of occasions, I thought about killing myself, and in fact I came to a moment where I had taken the decision of jumping in front of a bus the next time one would pass next to me (where I lived, there weren't really a lot of bus so it was kind of like playing russian roulette). There are a few things that helped me out.
One of the first is one thing my father said in anger when he saw how depressed I was.
"If you were to end your life, it would mean I should never have endured my own!"
He made me understand with these words that everybody has their own set of problems, sometimes worse than mine, sometimes less so. Yet they live on, and so should I.
My best friend is a prime example of this: she lost her first love and her best friend, they both died in separate car crashes. She's an orphan. Her heart isn't worth shit and spent her youth in hospitals. She's allergic to everything. Lethally allergic. I'm not even making this up. And yet she's lively, she's strong, and she goes on with her life with attitude, flair and doesn't stop at stupid problems. To her, all that matters is living your dreams and holding dear to those you love before they go.
Another thing that helped me is the realization that we are never alone. There is always someone somewhere willing to help you. Someone unexpectedly came into my life and helped me a lot when I was in my darkest time. And when we got separated and felt like I was alone all over again, my family helped me tremendously. I went at my aunt's place for a little while, being away from everything helped me gain a better perspective on my problems, and I could catch up my breath at the same time.
This made me realize how much family is important and underrated by my generation (I'm 24). I also recommend doing as I did when you feel like your problems are smothering you: get away for a few days, or a few weeks if need be, somewhere far from everything that troubles you. Do something different, or provoke a huge change in your life. It will help you see things differently.
Sorry for the long post, but I hope that giving out these advices in the open might help someone somewhere. If anyone feels concerned and wants to talk about it in private, just send me a message. I won't downplay your feelings like some do, as I know that it never helped my case.
Life is beautiful. I swear that 10 years ago, I never thought I'd say this.

It's selfish because you're completely giving up and leaving the mess of your death behind for others to deal with. You leave people wondering if they could have helped in any way or done something. Also somebody has to find your body...SomethingAmazing said:
I'd say it's one of the most selfish things you can do but often the people who do it think that no one cares about them anyway so it's understandable.
Nope. Life is awesome. Sure I have problems in my life, but so does everyone else. If I ever get really sad I just think about all the people around the world living in extreme poverty, and I realize that no matter how shitty anything ever is, I have a good life. Playing your favorite game helps to ;p
I'm a survivor. Luckily, I was foiled by the fact that I am apparently some sort of immortal (I took an entire bottle of Ambien and I'm still here. A whole fucking bottle!), but I still struggle with depression. It's just something you have to work through. Like, I'm a pretty piss-poor example of how to deal with it, but there are plenty of people who have worked through it and gone on to live happy lives.
If you people want something to read, occasionally this site has some batshit crazy stuff. If you are supersensitive, you may want to pass though. Obviously some of the posts there can be bullshit, but there are people who seriously consider offing themselves.

Maybe one of you can help someone there. Seriously, people ask others to stop them from committing suicide 0.o
And no, I'm not suicidal. I once thought of it, but then i realized I was being weak. So I got rid of my weakness.

Suicide is for weak willed individuals that haven't gone through all the possible permutations to their problems.
I've thought about it, but I know I'd never do it. Seems like a quitters way out of life.
Plus, after I finished watching RuroKen years ago, I know that suicide can never really solve any of the problems you have in life. It's simply running away from them. I just don't do that.
