who has thought of suicide?

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.

I do not know. I heard from Jane Fonda on TV that her mother did suicide. And I read Danielle Steel's book on her son's suicide at nineteen. We need not glamorise suicide but we need to remember so many are lost this way. There is an insult unto death.

If you want to committ suicide, do it yourself don't drag another human being into your reality. They are people too.

God, no. Too many people don't realise how many OTHER people they affect. When people die of NATURAL causes, they leave huge voids in their loved ones' lives. Suicide is a terrible idea, especially if you're just depressed and not SICK physically.

I once went to Grand parents place which is a small town in southern India. It was around 10 in the night i was standing at the gate of my grand parents house which was in the outskirts of the town where there are many paddy fields and huge bushes, i saw a woman who looked poor crying walking towards bushes,i was teenager at that time was feeling pity for her followed to see where she was heading, but while I was following her my mind stopped thinking about things like why I am following her, where am i going, what was the time, \nsuddenly she stopped at a huge deep well and jumped into her, but when i saw her i tried to stop her and was running towards the well to save her forgetting that i do not know how to swim, i was about to jump into the well suddenly a huge force pulled me back and it was my grand father, he shook me hard and asked me what was i doing here.\nLater I told him the incidence and he told me that there was a poor woman who commited suicide there and people who saw her spirit were attracted towards that well.

AdrienNemokarry is right. He was torn between committing suicide or toughing things out. On the one hand, suicide would detach him from the horror of his reality (mainly his father's death at the hands of his uncle, and the marriage to his mother). But the unknown world of death, was equally frightening to him.

Well, I hope you don't recommend suicide.\n\nI have attempted to kill myself by drowning, hanging, crashing into something (by car), suffocating, etc.\n\nWhy? Um, hereditary mental illnesses like depression and borderline personality disorder. When I get upset, I think irrationally. I had an abusive mother (who suffers from the same illnesses but denies them), horrible grade school experiences, etc.\n\nI used to inflict harm upon myself. I would still do it but my fiance threatens to leave me if I ever do it again.

I would probably say yes, but then is kind of like when people are asking whether or not children would have more of chance of smoking if their parents did.\n\nThey probably do have a better chance of commiting suicide, because they were brought up to think that they are worthless and horrible.

I'm sure that we've all known someone or heard of someone who has threatened to commit suicide. Regarding to what one of the other answers was about, people do have the notion that those who threaten to commit suicide is just a way to get attention. Guess what? Essentially, that is correct. The nature of depression is that someone feels isolated and needs some kind of support in some way. If they didn't, then I don't think they would be depressed. \n\nFor some people who are depressed, it is hard to let others know that they really do need support. It's as if they must validate their condition in some way. For illnesses with a physical basis, such as leukemia, the condition could be validated via white blood cell count. It's harder for mental conditions, being as yet, there is nothing that can easily assess the degree to which one is depressed, except for testimonies. This, to me, seems to be the reason people think suicide and suicide threats are egotistical things to do. "If they say they want to kill themselves, tell them to go ahead!" I've heard that more than a few times. Suicide/suicide attempts seems to be the ultimate validation of whether or not someone is truly depressed.\n\nThe one thing that really gets me about depression is that someone who is depressed can't be optimistic about their future despite their illness - why? Cause depression is defined by the exact pessimistic ideology that those who are ill are trying to stray away from. We've all heard of people who have cancer yet still possess an optimistic view about beating their disease and the oncoming future. Obviously, the same cannot be said for depression. There is no one saying, "I admire her continual optimism despite having to fight depression." Because of this, depression is somehow seen as less authentic compared to other illnesses like cancer. I'm not saying that being depressed is worse than having cancer. I'm merely stating the catch-22 involving mood disorders.\n\nMental health needs to receive the same attention that physical health does. Insurance policies need to include treatment for mental illnesses so that mental health is at the same level as "regular" health. The public needs to be educated about the truths and myths concerning those with mental illness. With this education, the stigma involving mental illness can be quelled, and methods for prevention can be executed from early ages of children. If these things occur, it would possible for people suffering to get the help they need at an early stage and for mental illnesses to not result in extremities such as suicide.

Should we be worried about you doing something to yourself, or do you have a health condition that might cause your death?\n\nIf you're considering suicide, PLEASE speak to someone.

;when people commit suicide its like their brains quit working and they aren't really thinking thru things if anything if they were thinking and they believed in God then they would not do it because if God wanted them he would take them but they are doing it themselves.  Suicide might not hurt the person that is doing it but it will destroy a family of that victim

The people who run suicide statistics, may have committed suicide themselves.

NEVER !!!!!\nIt does not matter what circumstances are involved, suicide is for people who can not deal with the reality of life, and what they have done with it.\nSome of the above mentioned people are sick and delusional, some were just doing their jobs. BUT none of them HAD to do what they did, they were just to weak to stop it for various reasons.\nThey all need to learn to live with what they have done and try to somehow TRY to correct it, wether just through seeking help or by actively helping society to prevent situations they have caused.\neg - A heroin addict that has beaten an elderly person for money, stolen from people and lied and cheated to his/her family saying one day (f**k the junk I have had enough) and after going through the agony of quitting, then turning around trying to help others through the same process, speaking at schools and in public about the dangers etc etc.\nNO suicide is NEVER acceptable. Women abort lives, babys are still born, innocent children are knocked down by cars - the list goes on - then for someone to make mistakes with the life that they have and decide to commit suicide to fix them is just  a SELFISH act and cruel to the people that have tried to either help or support them no matter how bad their mistake or crimes might have been.\nCriminals could hand themselves in and people that may have cost a life through mistake could appologise for this to the families involved.\n\nTo close this topic - We are all human and sometimes go the wrong way or do the wrong thing but we should never waste the valuable thing we possess known as life. To many sick peolpe want it for others to throw it away.

I think suicidal thoughts are actually caused when someone feels trapped in a hopeless situation. You don't really want to be dead or end your life. You just can't find a way to end the situation you are in. You aren't dumb and you aren't stupid, you're scared and you don't know what else you can do. \n\nWell, the best way to end those thoughts would be to give yourself an alternative, a third choice.  What can you do? \n\n1.Do you still see your father and brother on a regular basis? If this is a problem, think of ways to avoid them. Devise a plan to move to a location where you will be far enough away to never see them. I would guess that you don't owe them anything, so don't worry about them.\n\n2.Are you plagued with thoughts and feelings that remind you of your past? The best thing to do is see a doctor. You can take some medication to calm your nerves and allow yourself to maintain an emotional balance. You can see a psychologist to help you deal with these memories and attack the problem at it's source. Many people also find meditation and exercise theroputic. There are many books on this subject.\n\n3.Do you feel alone, like no one understands you? There are many people who have been through similar situations that you have been in. Thanks to the internet, many of these people can talk to each other and discuss how they deal with it. \n\nIt may not happen over night but by putting a plan in place you can begin working on that goal.  You have been asking a lot of questions and it is clear that many people here care about you a lot. Remember that we are thinking about you and we want you to take control of your life and begin healing.

Usually when someone tells you they are going to commit suicide, they are asking for help, not necessarily going to do it...plus one doesn't suddenly decide to kill themselves without showing signs of depression or unhappiness prior to it.  But you can't take the chance that they might, so I would let as many friends/family as you can know what their intentions are so they they can together as a group,show this person how much they love them and help to get them the help they so desperately need.....if they are as close to you as you say, you need to be there for him/her.....

Yes.\n\nCatholics believe suicide when committed in full knowledge and deliberate consent is a complete turning away from God (a mortal sin) and will send a person to hell.\n\nThere are 3 conditions of a mortal sin: grave matter, full knowledge, and deliberate consent. \n\nWhile suicide (or any kind of murder) is always a grave matter, people who commit suicide may not always have full knowledge of what they're doing. Drugs can definitely impair one's thinking, as can other things, such as diseases, intense pain, or anguish. \n\nTherefore, suicide is not automatically treated as a mortal sin. \n\nWe are commanded by Christ not to judge others so we leave final judgment to God who alone knows each person's heart.\n\nWith love in Christ.
