I myself know six people who've committed suicide...all men....3 relatives, 2 high school friends and one friend from college. I think that everyone has a different method of coping and everyone's method isn't as good as others. And I also think everyone has limits to what they can handle and if people haven't learned how to cope with life's struggles, it's easy to see how they can succumb to suicide.\n\nI've forwarded the following link to friends and acquaintances many times who've said they've reached their limit. I tell them to read just page 5, if not the entire book.\n\nhttp://www.hopeline.com/docs/suicide.pdf#search='suicide%20the%20forever%20decision' \n\nIt's a PDF, so you'll need Acrobat Reader to view it.\n\nThere was a time more than a dozen years ago when I reached my limit and someone who could tell, saved me by asking me to read only page 5. I ended up reading the entire book. And I'm still here, so it must be good stuff.\n\nAnd luckily after surfing the Internet one day I found the book, now free on the Internet as a service to others.\n\n:)

I think that people would be very hurt if I die right now.  I have a good many people who are concerned about me and love me very much.

God Damn, What the hell is with all this Suicide Talk? If you are serious you are being a little B!TCH! You want sympathy from people online so you can feel better for awhile, Screw that. In the end you are going to have to face reality and step in front of people whenever you go out. So what, you're not as popular as you thought you were, Life isn't fair but killing yourself is Selfish and you gotta know you have family that would be hurt if you killed yourself.  People are going to hate you or like you, you have to accept that. Stop modeling your life after Paris Hilton!

Absolutely not! If I'm only harming myself, and no one else, what is wrong with that?

Sure thing. I'm not very interested in having children, so assuming I *could* still die if I wanted to, absolutely I would. Actually I'd probably die in some sort of accident before I ever got bored enough with life to want to die, but that's just me.

I ould make all arrangements, so my family doesn't have to. I would also check in with the hospital so that I could be typed for organ donation. Somebody will get another chance to live because of my death.

If you don't have a job go and get one, its as good a way as any to meet new people.\nPeople get depressed for many reasons, there's no point in killing yourself, unless you know for sure what happens after death.\nYou could try something extreme, go away on your own, maybe travelling or aid work, this will force you to meet other people and held get a purpose in your life.\nIf you feel like killing yourself, then you have nothing to lose by trying apsolutely anything you've never had the courage to do. Whats the worse that could happen?\nAlternatively try religion, its seems to work for many people.

wow, hard question, because i don't like to confront other people with my social anxiety, but i think i'd have to say that i'd try and talk to you.\n\nbut on the other hand, being suicidal myself, would i want to be stopped?  wow, i'm still angry at the people who saved my life the first time i tried to do it and obviously the succeeded in saving my life.\n\nsigh

I have been surrounded by suicide over the past few years.  As MASH (not that the song was created around MASH, but still MASH made it popular) says: "Suicide is Painless", but only for the one doing the act.  Everyone around that person is affected as myself and many people around me have been.  Now that could be "selfish" on my part to be thinking of myself and not the person who was suffering, but that's all I can do when they are no longer here.\n\nIf I was the one on the other side of the fence, I always wonder why I wouldn't be thinking "well if I have nothing to lose, I may as well live life as if I have nothing to lose and just do whatever I want to do."  I have never been able to completely put myself in any of my friend's situations, though.  It is not mine or anyone else's right to judge the person who is so depressed that they feel they are doing themselves and the world right by removing themselves from the situation, but the "selfishness" might come in not thinking about anyone except yourself at the time that you are going to take your life.\n\nIf there is someone saying that it was "selfish" to take your life after you have done it, then there is someone who cared enough for you that you had reason to stay alive.  Think about that before even THINKING of taking your life.

Yes, I do. I've always had low self esteem and lacked confidence, even from a very early age for some reason. I always did well at school, I'm currently a few daya away from qualifying as a doctor, and yet I still feel useless and worthless. I feel like nothing I say is of any significance or relevance to anyone, I don't understand why anyone would like me unless I DO something to make them like me. I constantly worry about what other people think about me. I could go on and on......\n\nMy poor confidence and low self esteem led to severe social anxiety, which (since I didn't get any help with) in turn led to a severe depressive episode, with associated self harm and suicidal tendencies. I'm now slowly improving with the help of a psychiatrist and some anti-depressants, but my self esteem and self confidence remain very low. \n\nIf you can really help, I would appreciate it. I'm on Yahoo messenger and my e-mail is accessible on my Q&A page.

If you took enough to make yourself pass out then you did overdose. Meaning took more than the recommended amount. Very dangerous\n\n\n\nWhy are you trying to hurt yourself? You wont get a buzz from doing stupid stuff like that you will be more likely to hurt yourself. Not kill but have horrible ramifacations that could last a lifetime. You think your life is bad or was bad? Wait until you have to have medical treatment for what you have done to yourself. I am only telling you this because I care. I don't know you but I do care. Please talk to someone. You don't have to tell them what you did but talk to them about what you are going through so you don't let this happen again.

I will never ever kill myself.. Whenever killing yourself crosses your mind just think of the people who tragically died on an accident wishing they are still alive..

Call some on this list that can help you!\nIf you kill yourself, your dead.  Then nobody can help you, you can't even help yourself.  My brother committed suicide.  Not the best option!\n\nSuicide: Don't let despair obscure other options\nDespair and hopelessness may lead you to think about suicide. But you have other options, from weathering an immediate crisis to creating a long-term safety plan.\n\nWhen life doesn't seem worth living anymore or your problems seem insurmountable, you may think that the only way to find relief is through suicide.\n\nYou might not believe it, but you do have other options — options to stay alive and feel better about your life. Maybe you think you've already tried them all and now you've had enough. Or maybe you think your family and friends would be better off without you.\n\nIt's OK to feel bad, but try to separate your emotions from your actions for the moment. Realize that depression, other mental disorders or long-lasting despair can distort your perceptions and impair your ability to make sound decisions. Suicidal feelings are the result of treatable illnesses. So try to act as if there are other options, even if you may not see them right now.\n\nNo, it probably won't be easy. You may not feel better overnight. Eventually, though, the sense of hopelessness can lift. You can find support, appropriate treatment and reasons for living.\nWhen you need immediate help for thoughts of suicide\n\nIf you're considering suicide right now and have the means available, talk to someone first. The best choice is to call 911 or your local emergency services number.\n\nIf you simply don't want to do that, for whatever reason, you have other choices for reaching out to someone:\n\n    * Contact a family member or friend\n    * Contact a doctor, mental health professional or other health care professional\n    * Contact a minister, spiritual leader or someone in your faith community\n    * Go to your local hospital emergency room\n    * Call a crisis center or hot line\n\nCrisis centers or suicide hot lines are often listed in the front of your phone book or on the Internet. They generally offer trained counselors — usually volunteers — who can help you through an immediate crisis. Some crisis centers with an Internet presence offer e-mail contact, but remember that responses may not be as prompt as they are with telephone support.\n\nTalking to someone about your feelings — connecting with someone — can help relieve the burden of despair and isolation, even if just temporarily. It may help you shift perspective and more clearly see that you have options beyond suicide.\nDaily coping strategies to manage thoughts of suicide\n\nYou may struggle with suicidal feelings frequently, perhaps many times a day. Develop a strategy to cope with those feelings in a healthy way. Consider asking a doctor, family member or friend to help create a strategy tailored to your specific situation.\n\n\nThat strategy may mean doing things you don't feel like doing, such as talking to friends when you'd rather hole up in your bedroom all day with the curtains drawn. Or it may mean going to the hospital for a mental health evaluation. But stick to your strategy, especially when you're in the grips of despair and hopelessness.\n\nAs part of your strategy, consider these measures:\n\n    * Keep a list of contact names and numbers readily available, including doctors, therapists and crisis centers.\n    * If your suicide plans include taking an overdose, give your medications to someone who can safeguard them for you and help you take them appropriately.\n    * Rid your home of knives, guns, razors or other weapons you may consider using for self-destructive purposes.\n    * Schedule daily activities for yourself that have brought you even small pleasure in the past, such as taking a walk, listening to music, watching a funny movie, knitting or visiting a museum.
