Have you ever considered suicide?

[Private Custard]

I've got it all planned. I reckon I have 10-15 years before I really have had enough. I've spoken to a few people I know about this, and my feelings on life in general and they can't believe how calm I am when I talk about it.

Been thinking about it for a long time and haven't come up with a better idea yet, so I'm just running with it.

Couple of years back after my gran died, I considered it, was really close to my gran and the thought of going through the rest of my life without her really got to me, In the end up now boyfriend talked me out of it, showed me that life is worth living if you have the right people around to help you.

many a time.. what stopped me? morals... one of my morals is that the only suicide i condone is an honourable one that results in helping others (e.g. blowing yourself to bits with a grenade to slow down some pursuers of friends or family) but otherwise i spit on suicide as its such a selfish way out... if you cant fight yuor problems you never deserved your chance

No, as I fear death more than anything else, I've thought about what would happen if I died and how it would affect the people arround me but I've never considered is since it's a ridiculous act which'll only bring pain and sorrow to the people you love.

 

[El Poncho]

Nope, I have thought about how the people I would know would act if I died/killed myself though but it turned into a viking/pirate war because I lost track of my thoughts.

I've felt like it a lot before, but thanks to denial I am immortal and therefore cannot kill myself. Also I made a blood oath to the all father that I swear no matter what comes at me I'd live until I've played Infinity: Quest for Earth for a bit, so I've got a few years left in me at least.

Last year I went through some depression from bulling, losing friends, and basically just losing myself and thought about it, yes. It was a pretty sad time for me actually. I know I would never do it though. I have a phobia of death so that stopped me too.

Advice? That's a little hard. Basically, all I gotta say is, think of all you have to live for. That's how I overcame mine. and Friends who cared about me too.

I do sometimes still feel that way though. School has also cause my depression to start up again after getting some pretty bad grades my first year of high school...it's hard to push away, I'll just say that.

 

[Rad Party God]

Wow, I've been reading most comments and so far, many us seriously needs a psychiatrist.

When I was little and stupid, like many of my gamer folks, I had low grades back on hihg school, so when I was banned from high school, many thoughts came up to my mind, like "how am I going to tell this to my parents?", among other things and suicide was an option and I was even thinking on how was I going to do it.

I felt really, really bad, I was very depressed and my parents didn't took the news so well and I felt like my entire world had collapsed. A few days or weeks later, I stood up by myself and I realised how stupid it was to be depressed by such thing, I found a new school (with hot chicks) and a few months later, I graduated.

The point is that, you can't solve anything by dying, as a mexican saying says, "There's a solution for everything, except for death"... or something like that.

I thought of it a few times like with things like this "If I kill myself that will teach those bullies a lesson" but that is a retarded statement. The bullies will have to live with the fact that they bullied a student to the point of suicide. And what do you have? Nothing you are dead.

Anyways I am a lot happier nowadays and thank god I didnt make any serious attempts to suicide. I consider it a waste of life. Deal with your problems life will get better. (Eventually)

 

[archvile93]

Yes I have. It's possible the only thing that's kept me alive is cowardice.

 

[Daft Sikes]

When I was younger, I was actually pretty close to going through with suicide, but then, I got over it. I'm still depressed, but less so.
As for advice, think of what you have. Think of your family, friends, anything. If you off yourself, then you'll lose all those things forever. No second chances.

 

[Risingblade]

Yup even tried and failed at it but now I don't think about it anymore

 

[CleverCover]

...Kind of yeah. I feel like its for a stupid reason though. Not nearly as bad as other people's reasons.

College stress does not make for happy thoughts sometimes, especially after finals.

 

[Delicious Anathema]

Not really, just thought how would everybody react to it.

Like someone said, there's no reason for anything to break anybody ever, it's a choice to let things break you.

 

[Scolar Visari]

Sometimes every other day, but usually every other week. Every so often, it comes to a peak at once an hour.

To be fair, it's not that I think about suicide in the usual sense. It's more along the lines of, "Everyone's lives would be better if I were dead. I would stop complicating matters and allow everyone to go on with their lives if I wasn't here."

And then there's the "if I get into a car accident and die, that would be nice" thoughts as I drive home. But then I realize that the person who crashes into me might also get hurt, and I start hoping for a random satellite to drop out of orbit and hit me.

These thoughts stem from feeling like a drain on civilization. All it takes is a strong suspicion that the world would be better off without my bungling, and away my thoughts race!

But, yes, I have problems. I should talk to my therapist about them today during my appointment. It might help if he communicated via lolcats, or something.

No no, that pretty much is "the usual sense". And I hope to Ceiling Cat that you aren't serious. What about all the little snot-nosed kids you take care of? What would they do without you? What happened to the whole "...crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women." attitude?

P.S. Does the lolcats reference help?

 

[Westaway]

This thread makes me sad.

 

[Assassin Xaero]

Yep, many times. Most of the thoughts faded when my belief in god faded... go figure...
