Poll: Have you ever thought about commiting suicdie?

[PrimoThePro]

I came close. It was a hard time. At first everyone was comparing me with my brother, saying my job wasn't good enough, or I'd never be him. After that some of my friends just... walked away. It was me by myself, because I couldn't talk to my friends anymore. My dog got me through it. <3

Not recently, but when I was 10 I did.

 

[EBHughsThe1st]

Not like, I should kill myself.
Just sort of, what if?

 

[camokkid]

As a teenager I thought about it a lot, I still do sometimes but it is something I will never do after seeing the aftermath of my brother's friend killing himself it kind of brought things in perspective and made me realize how much it hurts the people around you. After years of obsessing over the meaning to life and what not I came up with; there is no meaning to life, life sucks sometimes, we're all going to die, so sit back and enjoy what time you have as best you can.

I found what I believe to be the meaning of life: continued existence of our species.

My father always swore by his little motto "find the one worth living for" before becoming one of the worst people I ever heard of... I'll save ya' the long story and sum it up quickly.

Having fuckall besides the girl I truely love by my side and being rather happy with it took a whole different twist when the dude hung himself after achieving "a new life".

Gotta admit I considered it right there, something that actually ment quite alot got turned into another cheap lie by the very same fella' who said it to begin with. The things a ladyfriend can talk you out of, damn.


How's that for dark in an already depressing topic, huh?

 

[major28]

ok so slighly off topic a kid from my school killed himself recently he wasnt in the same grade as me but i come from a town with a total population of like 5000 so you sort of"know" everyone but anyway so when he died i just could not have cared less does that make me a bad person

living is better than nothingness.

how do you know? you've never not been here, maybe it's cool.

Well when I'm dead I'll have all eternity to enjoy it.
Before then, I can enjoy my limited life.

 

[Unesh52]

Yes, I have often thought about it. I realized I can do things in my life to help others though, and that's really what is keeping me here.

If you need anyone to talk with, send me a message. Sometimes, talking can be a good thing, and can help you feel better.

I hope things improve for you.

Marter, why do I always see you at the head of threads like this? Like you have a sixth sense for their creation. Maybe it's a good thing though, you're very supportive.

Edit: OT: sorry, I forgot my bit.

uh... I don't really want to give so much away... ok, it's only the internet.

I saw the movie hard candy... I... ugh. Just fucking google it if you don't know what it's about. I cried like a damn baby at the end of that thing. I had the knife in my skin, but... it was then that I found out I pass out at the sight of my own blood. When I woke up, I decided that working on the problem itself would be easier than learning to tie a noose... and I had no access to guns... really I was just too afraid of pain and failure to do it.

I only say this because of the overwhelmingly positive responses to people's problems on this forum. It's astounding really. You should be glad to know that I've essentially gotten over the problem, largely due to the influence of my girlfriend. I just wish I could scrub the memories out of my head somehow... and I hope it never comes back to haunt me....

 

[The King of Rock and Roll]

I'd never kill myself because I'm not a furry so there's nothing really wrong with me.

Also people, don't do it: it's not worth it because inevitably something good will happen.

 

[rddj623]

I think most people at some point or another think about it, if they're honest. I know I've thought about it in the past. Things do get better.

I've been posting in pretty much every thread as of late.

I try to be supportive, as I know how emotional pain can eat away at a person.

 

[A_Parked_Car]

Yes, I have thought about committing suicide. I still do far more often than anyone should.

 

[BigCat91]

I thought about it, i was going through some tough times and coming to some sad realizations. But as winston churchill once said "If going through hell...keep going." Things always get from bad to worse every now and then but it will eventually change with time. Not to say another quote but it really is always darkest just before the dawn.

 

[leviathanmisha]

I've thought about and attempted it, but that was when I was so hopped up on my anti-depressants and I had no clue on what the hell I was doing...

And people tell you meds are a good thing...BAH! I locked myself in my bedroom after my suicide attempt and worked out the issues with some good old fashioned video game violence!

But if you need to talk to someone, PM me and I'll give you my MSN. Suicide isn't a funny topic, no matter how comical my solution seemed.

 

[Michael Dagastino]

I went through with my thoughts, and the only reason why i can say that today is that the gun malfunctioned. It happened 3 years ago, 2007. I can't remember who said this, but they were right: (in regards to suicidal talk/thoughts) "It's not the ones who talk about suicide you have to worry about, it's the people who stay silent that you should worry about."

Believe me. If you are having thoughts and are seriously thinking of doing them, talk to someone. Tell them everything. Whether it be a stranger, a therapist, a friend, or a family member. If you want, send me a message here on the escapist. Ill be happy to listen.

 

[wizzerd229]

ive thought about it, but i think i am too lazy to acctually do it, id be like, "fuck this, im gonna go play KOTOR II."

 

[Siuki]

All of the signs are leading to my self-demise as well. I'm planning to become a doctor, but doctors have a suicide rate of around 25%-ish and ever since I came in contact with people, I've been bottling up anger and hate, as well as anguish and sadness(but I cry those out)

If nothing else, play some fu*king video games. They are meant to release stress and make you happy, so have fun, generally.

 

[Miumaru]

Yes. I have determined it would be private, not some pblic spectacle that could also mess up any people who see, and it would have to be a painless way. Suicide is to end suffering, so why suffer in ending?
I used to think I was too strong to do it, but as of lat see it as too weak to. I also hate that one friend who tried to kill herself got mad at me for being depressed and complaining once shortly after she was back from the hospital. I shouldnt have to try to kill myself before my feelings matter.

 

[ThatPurpleGuy]

Yeah its really not that hard and quite painless to do. If you have access to prescription pain killers ie Endone, Oxy-contin, you can make a suicide pill that will simply put you to sleep and you won't wake up. All on Google.

People always "oooooh ahhhh" whenever people mention suicide but its not such a bad thing..I mean I am a massive control freak and the one thing that I make sure I control will be my death.

I would never do it now cos I have family members that rely on me but in the future I don't see why not..When I am over it, I'll end it. The world will go on as usual
