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.
Tried it when i was 12 or 13, nearly succeeded. since then, my quality of life and general outlook has improved greatly. i've also learned how to do it properly since then, so i don't think it will be an issue for a while.
Im sorry but i feel no sympathy for people who comit suicide over these things.. there are people all over the world in FAR worse conditions, who would give anything to be in your shoes, bullied or not.
I've seen people a their complete total worst, with little to no food, family or anything, and the thought of us Westerners complaining about the day to day stuff actually sickens me.

Ive never seriously thought about it or considered it. Nothing in life is that terrible, well if your on this forum typing on a computer from a Developed nation someone else has it about 100x worse than you
mmm, yeah i thought about it. I got to the point of self-harm... but i don't think i ever really would have done it. In hindsight, i just needed something to take my anger out on, and i (stupidly) took it out on myself.
Good for you to tell your story, even though it had one hell of a broken aesop in the middle.Furburt said:
Anyway, Furburt is right. "Smile when you're happy. Cry when you're sad. And do both when you're happier than you've ever been."
That's my motto.
I think this is why a lot of people in modern countries are depressed/suicidal, they have no strife in their life. People in those conditions have to concentrate of surviving every day so they have much more respect of life. While a person in modern society never has to worry about getting that next meal, never has to worry about being killed at any given moment so they feel dead inside dealing with their mundane life. That's the way I see it anyway, two different kinds of suffering, maybe different degrees for sure but it's all about perspective.Mcface said:
Seriously seriously thought about it 3 times, its always in the back of my mind, pretty hard ot shake unless you try escape completely ie. get really drunk or play a load of games. Its a pretty interesting state of mind thats for sure. I dont even know how I get into the mind set of wanting to off myself, its never one big think thats sets it off, its just the way life goes some times. You just think to yourself, is this is. Is this all I have to look forward to, a life of working hard for too little money where nothing really comes of it, except maybe a rocky marriage and some kids.
Its very easy for me to slip into that mindset, in fact I wish I could tell you how I get out of it, because I don't even know myself. The latest time I was literally a day away from trying to od on pills and kill myself, wasn't exactly sure how I was going to do, but I remember thinking to myself, ok tomorow, I buy all these pills, take em all, then just go to sleep and its over. No more worries about anything, it will be great. Not sure why I never followed through.
It really hard to help someone thinking those thoughts, talking to people who dont really understand is kind of pointless in my mind, my parents or friends would not know what the fuck to say to me, without sounding completely cliche. I would imagine the best thing to do is talk to someone who has been in the same position as you. Whether they can 'help' or not is out of the question. They will give you shit to think about and sometimes thats all you might need.

I have once. Realised that it was stupid and pointless and decided to grief life's problems by existing, happily.
You know, the small chance of addiction.Furburt said:What, the drugs thing? How is that a broken aesop?Dr. wonderful said:Good for you to tell your story, even though it had one hell of a broken aesop in the middle.
...Actually, let's just stick with the second half of my reply, since I didn't think that one through.
Yeah, I thought about it. Nothing wrong with thinking about things.
No matter how depressed I can get, it's still hardly a good option for me. I lack unfounded beliefs about some kind of "afterlife", so giving up something you probably only got once is totally not worth it.
Plus why should I hate myself enough to commit suicide? Most of my depression comes from the world around me, not myself. For all I care, I'm okay, it's other people that piss me off.
So, I suppose it's a yes. I'm frankly okay with people committing suicide if they want to, I'm rather libertarian when it comes to stuff like that. It's your own body, your own life and your own responsibility. Do what you want, as long as you don't bug anyone else about it too much.
Although the way most people commit quiet suicides pisses me off. If you've got nothing more to live for, fuck everyone up as you go. 15 minutes of fame, and all.

I've Thought about when I lost someone precious to me at the age of 15 but I never went ahead and tried I feared Death and my hopes kept me from doing. Sure it was a emotional roller-coaster but in the end I think I did the right thing by staying alive, I was young and Life was still opening it up to me
