its easy to say that you could go through with it haveing never been to that point, but when you have the metorphicial gun in your mouth pulling the trigger is alot harder then you might think

That's what I was thinking... sometimes offing yourself is a lot harder then it would seem, and not just because you have second thoughts, things happen.

alt.suicide.methods is where to go if you need help

 

Nope.

However, if you have recently, I highly suggest seeing a professional about it.

 

[bandana163]

No.
I've never had a reason to.

I think about it everyday of life..... But ehhh, ill wait till some one\thing does it for me. I somewhat enjoy life... but i have no fear to die at all either....


as for seeing a professional for help... i doubt it.... i am stubborn, so whatever they tell me, i wont listen. Plus who gives a crap.... some of my own friends have been treating me like sh!t lately and dont care. Why would a stranger care.... they would only care to get my money, which i dont have any to pay one. i'll just move on and just wait for my time to come is all i can do.

Way too many people have said yes.

Im not trying to offend when i say this, so dont get angry.

I know someone in my school that was bi-polar, he ended up shooting himself in the chest in front of 2000 students during lunchtime.

As for me, I used to think about suiciding all the time. I used to be the center target for bullies at school. I was picked on by everyone, and kids would be too ashamed to be my friend.
I had about one friend, that didn't give a crap about anything, which is probably why he is my friend in the first place, but he didn't give a crap about me either.
My mom wasn't too supportive either. She used to b!tch all the time, pretty much everyday. My sister would b!tch too, or ignore me.
I used to sit in my bed and cry every night, thinking about suiciding.

The time I got closest to suiciding was when my mom called the cops on me when I was 13, for having a small argument with my grandma, which everyone in the house does because she says the dumbest things all the time. She told the cops that I abused her, so the cops came and asked me why I hit my grandma. At that point I was so angry and sad at the same time, I went completely numb, and was about to run to get something sharp to suicide right then and there. I absolutely would have if charges was pressed against me, but my mom gave in and told them that I did not hit my grandma, and it was merely an argument.

Although since I turned 16, my life has seemed to make an 180 turn. I started to get respect from people at school. Pretty much no one messed with me anymore. My mom seemed to have gone through her menopause, and was taking antidepressant pills, and my sister went off to college. I'm pretty happy with my life now, and I would never consider suiciding now.

Just to add, my mom has attempted suicide about a year ago. I don't think she really meant to suicide, but just did it to scare everyone. She had a pretty good way of suiciding painlessly. She's a nurse so she has a lot of syringes lying around. She just took the needle and started draining her blood out. It makes a big mess, and you die slowly and painlessly. Perfect way to suicide.

i wanna it to happen quick and with less mess...... any ideas?

 

[yhelothar]

Yes drain the blood into a faucet, bucket, or bag, use two needles or more, and bigger ones.

 

[PhlashFoto]

i guess ill just wait for a better idea.. that one dont sound to appealing to me..... i dont hate life that much....

 

[nan0bug]

I stuck a loaded gun in my mouth and prayed for the strength to pull the trigger, but it never happened. Lucky me.

I am Bi-Polar. My dips into severe clinical depression used to be monthly for a majority of my life, until I finally got it under control with medication. During both my High and Low points of the cycle, I entertained and planned how I would kill myself. What lack of worth I had for myself, thankfully, didnt effect the love I have for my family. I just couldnt bring myself to do an act that would so catastrophically ruin my families life.

My love for animals prevented me from killing myself also, particularly dogs. Dogs represent everything good about friendship and life. Unconditional love and friendship are only possible with animals.

CliffNotes: If it wasnt for family and animals, I would have killed myself long ago.

i knew 2 people who killed themselves and let me say, bi-polar or not, suicide is the most selfish act known to man. these people have devastated their families for the rest of their lives.

Good lord. I can't believe I'm in the minority in this. I figured 'No' would be an 80/20 split. People need to stop watching TV so they don't feel so badly about themselves.

 

Definitely not. Life is way too precious and enjoyable to think about ending it early on my own accord.

I have often pondered how to not check out but never pondered checking out ahead of time. I like it here.

 

[CptObvious]

I have, quite a lot. I'm hypoglycemic and go through mood swings (feel great after a full night of sleep, feel like sh!t in the evening) and it's usually at night when I'm pondering things. I've never seriously attempted it, the only real thing keeping me back are my parents, because they are depending on me for support after they retire in a couple years.

 

[NuclearNed]

No, and I never will. There is never a situation so bad that suicide is the answer.

 

[3chordcharlie]

I've thought about swerving off the highway, but now that I drive a newish car, chances are I wouldn't die, so it would really just be attention-whoring.

I've never come close, but I had to deal with a lot of doubts about sexuality and such things about 6-8 years ago (well, for the whole 2 year period there). While I never had any actual gay experiences, and discovered in the end that I am definitely not homosexual, it forced me to understand a lot more about sexuality, and about what gays and lesbians go through trying to understand themselves. It's one of the reasons I don't have very much patience for intolerance about other people's sexuality; for a lot of people it's a long and difficult journey to realize who they really are.

At the time I wondered more than idly whether I would kill myself if I determined that I really was gay, but I'm pretty sure now that I wouldn't have.

 

[Azraele]

Woah more people have considered it than I thought.

 

[Geekbabe]

I have one rule that I've always tried to live by.

If I am in great pain and there's a choice between killing myself or offing the SOB who's making me miserable,well, let's just say the SOB loses every time🙂

Yeah, I'm surprised too. My previous post (which is not an exaggeration) aside, I actually voted 'No' because I took the word "seriously" pretty seriously...

 

[Kipper]

It's pretty normal, I'd say, to have contemplated suicide at some point during your life (emotional lows, etc.).

I've fought with episodes of major depression on and off for well over ten years now, and for about a six-month streak was so depressed I would constantly think about killing myself - even researched methods, and had it down to jumping off of high places and/or mixing pain killers and alcohol. Ironically enough, at school a semester went by where three students were killed - two suicides. Having those suicides hit close to home probably saved my life.

 

[Geekbabe]

Everybody has bad days, some bad enough that the thought of lying down to sleep and not waking up is attractive.However, if you are seriously entertaining killing yourself to the point that you're making a plan or two, then you need to be evaluated by a professional.Depression can seriously distort your thinking and cause you to take a permenent solution to bad feelings that are only temporary and that are treatable.

 

[clamum]

Nothing serious, just dumb half-thoughts. I never would anyways because of my family.
