Have you ever considered suicide?

[TimeLord]

I did once, several years ago before I had medication to control my depression.
The scars on my arms still haven't fully healed.

I will never again fall that low; I learned that suicide is a cowards way out for those who cannot face their troubles and rise above them.

I would sometimes think about the most badass and/orhardcore way to kill myself if I ever considered it.

 

[BakaSmurf]

'Considered?' Try 'attempted.' On three seperate occassions, all several years apart.

Shitty childhood was shitty...

Good thing I'm not suicidal anymore, as I've smartened up enough at this point to actually know the proper methods for killing oneself, so... Yeah, I'd likely be successful were I to regress again. Which wouldn't be good, I think.

 

[Broady Brio]

Considered it? Yes I have.

Attempted? No. I lack the ball capacity to go through it.

 

[Julianking93]

I've attempted it a few times before, as I've mentioned on the other threads covering this topic.
It's... not a very pretty subject, but it's a part of my life I feel that I've recovered from.
I don't like looking back on it as I just get sad.
Can't focus on the bad. Can only look forward to a brighter future

My thoughts on suicide:

 

[gary the red shirt]

truth be told, i wish i could go through with it.

 

[Mistermixmaster]

Yes, I did think about it a lot back some years ago, however, I went to a psychiatrist. Helped me immensely.

 

[SweEscaspist]

I have been thinking about death. I mean, who hasn't? But I was thinking of all the great stuff I would miss out if I died. My freinds, my family, get my self a family. I havn't tried to do anything to kill myself. I just feel I miss so much great things.

 

[Zakarath]

I've only ever considered it in a purely academic sense, in that I'm sort of curious about what death is actually like.

On an slightly related related note, my roommate once attempted it(in what I suspect was a more attention-seeking way than anything else) and what ran through my head was "if you have so little care for your own life, do not expect me to care more." I may be a cold selfish bastard, but seriously, if you can't go outside and taste the morning dew in the air, and consider life worth living just for that, then you need to readjust your priorities.

 

[Explosm]

No, Just outright no. fuck that shit.

 

[MassiveGeek]

Never.

Suicide cause more problems than it solves - people who commit suicide don't just blissfully die and everything is now well and good. A suicide, or any death, leaves a mark. And a suicide is particularly hurting, especially your family and friends. They'll suffer because of you, they'll suffer a lot. And who wants that?
It's a very dumb solution. There are other things you can do to make your life a much brighter one.

Once for a very stupid reason. I've gotten a better outlook on life and strongly believe that the hour is indeed darkest before the dawn. Seriously though? Screw teenage hormones.

 

[smithy_2045]

I've seriously considered it a few times, but thanks to my total lack of motivation (also the cause of the suicidal thoughts) I had no desire to go through with it. I do occasionally have a passing thought of "I want to die" but I never have the desire to go through with it.

 

[TundraStalax]

suicide is pointless, if other people are the problem, why should YOU have to die?
*awesome face*

 

[Random Fella]

Suicide is selfish and just hurts others only bad people commit suicide even though they feel pain they should simply make their way through it.
I know it's not as simple as that but you can't do that to your family and friends or even to the community.

 

[Annoying Turd]

I know someone who slashed his left wrist.

 

[llew]

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

Wait what?

Why is it selfish? It harms yourself and ONLY yourself.

what about those you left behind? you hurt them as much, if not more than, yourself so its very selfish because you completely disregard how others feel

 

[DaBungalow]

Suicide is selfish and just hurts others only bad people commit suicide

Only bad people commit suicide? Seriously? So vulnerable, desperate, hopeless, disillusioned, exhausted, long-suffering, self-hating, often mentally ill people don't exist in your black and white world then?

This whole thread, for a sizeable number of people, has just been an opportunity to feel superior to the mentally ill.
