I did after my little boy died. My brother found me sitting on the sofa staring into space. He came back the next day and I was still there. He told me that if I was planning to do myself in I might not end up with my son. At that time of unrational thought I decided it was a risk I'd rather not take.

people who do it repeatedly, and without seriously wanting to kill themselves, are generally crying out for help, frustrated and are unable to express their self hatred. it does not generally mean they are suicidal. this is more common in feamles than males, and often the result of sexual abuse that leaves them feeling dirty, ashamed and full of self hatred, hence the desire to harm themselves.\n\nmany people who overdose are not intentionall overdosing, just not good at self mediacting, or plain greedy, and often become violent and abusive when ambulance staff revive them.

there are people who kill themselves because of depression, which is a physical illness in that brain chemistry is so distrupted that the thoughts become disordered.  a depressed person will believe others are better off without them and think others will feel that way.  for many of these people, life feels so empty, meaningless, and hopeless that being alive requires more courage than pulling a trigger in front of your face.  for some people, antidepressants may work just enough to make them capable of pulling off a suicide.  for other people, their antidepressant might make them suicidal.  \n\nher act is highly unusual for a woman - women don't tend to use guns. she seems very angry.  i wonder if she had a personality disorder - borderline - and this actioin a way to hurt everyone around her and keep everyone crazy forever.  \n\neither way, it's a terrible thing that's happened to you, too.  your anger is very normal; most survivors of suicides have lots of anger.  \n\nyou might literally want to scream in the shower or when driving alone.  you may find this happening already.  \n\nkeep expressing your feelings - on paper, with friends, in the shower or car.  \n\nif she was depressed, maybe she thought, in her muddled thinking, that calling you in advance would leave you feeling guilty you didn't stop her.  she may have thought, in the strange way of depressed people, that she was sparing you.  \n\ni'm so sorry this happened.  fight back by embracing life.

By all means, please don't kill yourself. Life is what you make it. I know this world can be a cruel place, but you can find solace in God. It sounds like you are a good person with a good heart. Don't despair. Pray for your life to be filled with happiness and love. I will pray for you and keep reminding yourself that your life will only get better. I have been a victim of all those things that you have mentioned, but it only made me stronger as a person. Go out more, spend time with your favorite family members, learn a new hobby, go for the job you always wanted,and find a place of worship where you can confess your heartaches to. Also, keep telling yourself that you are lovable, loving, and you are loved. It helped me and I hope it helps you. Feel better.

Yes, I have. I was hospitalized for suicide ideation and was diagnosed with depression (sounds weird but I had no idea I was clinically depressed!). I started taking anti-depressants and seeing a therapist regularly. They both have helped a lot.\n\nSuicide is one of the most selfish things you can do. You have SO many people around you who love you and care about you; your death will cause them lots of pain and heartache. I know, because I had a really good friend commit suicide a couple years ago.\n\nI can't tell from your question whether or not this is something that you're thinking about; if you are, I would suggest that you get some professional help. Working out the sorts of issues that are causing you to think about suicide may seem overwhelming, but there are plenty of supports out there for you.

I have also nearly died a bunch of times.\n\nI've spent a long time thinking about this and read a bunch of books. I'm not sure there is a real reason except to live happy and help others to live happy.\n\nIt sounds so simple and stupid, but we have to enjoy being alive (the near death expeirences were possible reminders that we took life for granted).\n\nTake extreme pleasure in the simple things. Freinds and family are all that really matter because money and all that other junk is just temporary.

1. There is so much to live for, tomorrow your life could turn around, you could meet that one person who makes you weak at the knees and who you could end up spending the rest of your life with, but if your gone, you will never find out.\n2. Suicide is selfish and easy, it is not a solution it is a firey end to a life that could have been turned around had you stayed one moment longer.\n3. It hurts everyone who ever knew you or loved you, especially your family, who no matter how far you've drifted from will love you no matter what. Thats the beauty of having family, no matter what you may think they really truely love you and if nothing else you should want to live each day in persuit of mending your broken connection, because it can and given time, will be mended. No life is too far gone that it can't be mended. \n\nWhen we fall, we get back up, its human nature. Sometimes we may need some help but we all stand again. We come away with scrapes and a broken bone or two but given time, they heal and become just another mark that shows we have overcome. When you hit a rough patch of road or go over a pothole, you don't stop do you? You keep on going, and before you know it you have reached your destination and your whole life is there waiting. One more day, one more fall, one more helping hand, one more healed scar, and a whole entire life ahead...go live it.

First let me just say Suicide is never the answer... No matter what the question is.  When people come close, or actually commit suicide, they are at what they think is the emotional low point of their lives.  Their thinking is so clouded by depression, and despair, that they fail to see the actual truth... No matter how low a person feels, somebody out there cares about that person.  I know at one time, I had considered ending my own life, For reasons still unknown to me, I did not do it, I got professional help.  That therapy showed me that no matter how low you may get, there is always something to live for.  \n\nI am terribly sorry you lost a friend to suicide.  Even though you may hold a bit of anger with him for ending his own life, and effecting so many others in a bad way, try to forgive him.  True what he did could be considered a selfish move, But, when it comes right down to it, his decision to end his own life was not made with a clear head.  All you can do is pray for him, and hope he has gone on to a better place.  Also, you can pay attention to how your friends react to this event... If any of them show signs of deep depression, or suicidal thoughts, be sure to let somebody know about it, and try to suggest they seek help. We would not want this terrible event to ever happen again.\n\nYou will be in my prayers... God Bless!

Truth? I tried to kill myself. I was about 30 years old. My cheating husband called and told me he wasn't coming home that night. She was 17, and she wasn't the first or the last.)  I was so depressed I was screaming in pain inside. I just needed the pain to stop, so I took every pill in the house and chased it down with a fifth of Tequila. I remember praying and telling God that I wasn't sure if suicide was a sin and if it was would he please forgive me.  Then I lost consciousness. Later my cheating husband said he just had a bad feeling and came home to check on me. He found me having non stop seizures and called 911. While they were pumping my stomach, I died from a heart arrythmia. They tried several times and finally revived me. I was on a heart monitor in ICU for 3 days after that, but I don't remember any of it. The only thing I remember is having to have my bed linens changed several times until they finally put tubes in everywhere. No bright light, no memories, no feelings at all. Just like blinking out of existence. I guess God didn't approve, because it was SO unlikely that my husband, (now my EX), would suddenly decide he had to come home. I didn't feel very lucky, since I was still very depressed. I still wanted to die because of the pain, but I realized God didn't want me to die. Later, "Mr. Wrong" divorced me. It was the best thing anyone ever did for me, because after that I was alone and I prayed and told God that I was lonely, and I had tried but I realized I couldn't make it alone. About 3 weeks after that I met my current husband. He is the best thing that ever happened to me, and we have now been married 16 years, and we are still very happy. The main lesson I learned from these 2 events in my life is that God hears my prayers and answers them. I know that sometimes the answer is "NO", but I know he is there and he listens.\n\nAlso, I lost consciousness and almost drowned in a pool when I was about 7. I was swimming near the bottom and a boy jumped off the diving board onto my head. My head hit the pool bottom and I was almost knocked unconscious. I came to and tried to make it to the top of the water, but got really disoriented when I was about 3 feet from the top, thought I was in the air and took a deep breath, but it was of water, not air. Then I lost consciousness. The next thing I remember was waking up on my side coughing and vomiting. The lifeguard tolld me I almost drowned. I was grateful for the lifeguard, and I felt small, vulnerable, and helpless. Plus my chest, throat, ears, eyes, and sinuses were sore and stinging. Somebody wrapped me in a towel and I had to wait until I could walk. My parents weren't home and they had no way to notify them, so I had to ride my bike home with my little brother on the fender, and I don't think I ever told my parents. I was afraid they would never let me go to the pool again.

Well every time I am about to die, I just start thinking about something stupid or something. Like when I felt out of a raft and was drowning in the rapids with the boat holding me under I was thinking "why doesn't that stupid ass photographer drop her damn camera and rescue me. What a broad" and when I was about to die in the woods on a 4 wheeler I was thinking " Put your head down. Oh no Zo and erik are going to die and you are going to be all alone!" I dont think that you really have time to analyze your life in situations like that.

Sometimes, when people make the serious decision to commit suicide, they actually start to feel better. They believe the pain is going to stop, that there will be an end, so the depression resolves.  That is why some people get so surprised when someone dies by suicide when they were doing so well.

Suicide is a sad and tragic ending to a beautiful life. Obviously if you are thinking about suicide you must not feel like you have anything left to live for. Most of us have felt that way at some time in our life. Such thoughts as: I would be better off dead, everyone would be better off without me, I wish God would just take me home, are all common feelings that people occasionally get when they are tired and discouraged about the pressures and problems of life. \n\nOne friend told me of his suicide attempt.  He was so depressed and discouraged that he went out in the woods with a gun to end his life. Just as he was about to take his life a large snake crawled right between his legs. It made him think of Satan, since he is referred to as that old serpent the Devil. Well my friend concluded that Satan was trying to trick him into taking his life. So he stopped and said no, I am not going to let the Devil beat me. He got some counsel. Then he turned his life over to the Lord. He has been doing much better ever since. That was over 20 years ago. \n\nOne woman, who was in a similar predicament, also got some counseling. Afterward she came to this conclusion, I don't need to die because someone already died for me. Jesus Christ took all the horrible things about my life and put them on himself when he took my place on the cross. He died as me on that cross, to put an end to that old wretched life of mine once and for all. In fact, I have already died with Christ. I just needed to give up my life to Him and accept His death on the cross for me. Then by faith I received Christ into my life. He came in and gave a brand new life.  I was able to start all over with His indwelling presence and power to sustain me. Now she said I have such peace and rest that I can even sleep good at night without worry or fear.\n\nDo like these people did. Talk to someone and get some counsel. If you are being mistreated in an illegal manner then you must go to the police authorities. Recognize that Jesus Christ died to free YOU from the sinful effects of your past. Receive Him into your life so He can forgive you and give you a new life. Then you can start over with His life within you. Jesus Christ will take care of you if you will let Him. You have much to live for so hang in there!

Seriously, dude... suicide does nothing for you. It's not the right thing to do, and it won't help anything.\n\nI never considered it myself, but I know about it.\n\nJust don't do it, because there are countless ways that you can improve your life without taking it away.

WHY do you want to kill yourself sometimes? Or do you have no logical reason for feeling depressed? I have found that it is always slightly better when there is an excuse that makes sense because you have something to blame.\n\nI was depressed for several years, and came close to attempting suicide several times. Nothing that should have made me THAT depressed, just lack of friends and upset about poor grades. Unfortunately, I found myself holding a pocketknife to my wrist just the same.\n\nThe trick, for me at least, was doing the exact opposite of what I wanted to do. I really just felt like shutting myself in my room and crying or sleeping or playing computer games all day. It was a cycle: I would do this, my life would suck, I would be so depressed about how I was such a loser that I would do this. I doubt you are in the same cycle, but most depressed people are in some sort of emotional feedback loop, whether they put themselves there or not.\n\nOne day I said "%$#@ THIS!". I gave away all my computer games. I began approaching people and attempting to socialize, even though I lacked social skills and this was incredibly painful in ways I can't begin to describe. The truth is I have still not completely cured my natural antisocial tendencies, but I am A LOT better than before.\n\nIdentify your feedback loop. Break it by any means necessary, and you will be free.
