I rather loathe people who commit suicide and have little sympathy for them. It's the people they leave behind who suffer. But at the same time I understand people have mental deficiencies beyond their control.

I would normally agree with you, but I have no friends outside of work and only speak to one family member, so I wouldn't exactly be leaving behind a huge mass of grieving individuals. I wish I was tougher, but my not so great childhood has affected every second of everyday of my life. It makes every interaction uncomfortable, always thinking of the torture that I was not able to stop or run from, the memories that I can't shake. I wish I could just wake up tomorrow and say "fuck it"and go on a new man, but I haven't been able to. Therapies not working, pills aren't working, running out of choices.

I know you're a football fan, Robben should be motivation for your balding and happiness! :p
 
In the back of my mind every day for the past, I dunno, 17 years?

Never even came close to trying. Why? Here's my secret.

The world isn't getting off that easy. No sir.

I'm spiteful like that
 
i've thought about it quite a bit since my cancer came back, but i'm not sure where i stand on it. my thought process on it has been that i'm going to die eventually, i only have the choice between having it happen while i'm still of relatively good health and mind, or when the cancer takes over and i'm medicated to the point where i lose my sense of being.
 
I saved my sisters life when she tried overdosing on pills. She was literally awake for nearly a week shaking and talking like a demon had taken over her body, but now she is much better thank god. I don't want to be rude, but killing yourself is a really selfish act, there is ALWAYS time for change.

Pills can sometimes make things worse. Have you talked to a psychiatrist?

I've never tried talking to a psychologist or psychiatrist, but I know two people who've had a lot of success with therapy.

Blah blah, I'm the only person who's experienced low points in my life. The only person who's experienced depression. Blah blah, sociopath, can't empathize that others could possibly feel like I did, blah blah.

Sounds about right?


And yes it's still a stupid thing to do and if that's the advise you give people then you're as dumb as you sound.
Lol you're such a cunt.
 
Yes, once in my high school days. I tried to OD on some meds. I was really depressed.

Edit: I'm glad I wasn't successful.

hell no..its selfish as hell my family and friends shouldnt suffer from my selfishness

But that is usually something the suicide-attempter doesn't realize until after the fact.

Hindsight is 20-20.

Life is about making mistakes and learning.

Suicide is simply the extreme of that lesson.

Very few people seemed to care at all when I tried, and I suspect they still wouldn't.

Sometimes you just feel used or unneeded, that's partly what contributes to suicidal thoughts. You should know this if you were in that position once before.

Most days I wake up thinking nobody needs me or wants me around. I've been in a relationship for six years and am engaged, so logically I should understand that isn't so. But I have a hard time accepting that. "Hard time" is in fact an understatement. I don't know why that is, but I find I am constantly convincing myself that nobody really cares about me or would miss me if I was gone.

It's not logical reasoning, and simply saying "you're wrong," or "that's not the way it is," doesn't fix it.

Yo man, just go crazy in a positive way. Seriously. Turn your depression into anger, anger back onto the circumstances that brought you here. The only suicide you should be committing is the daily routine your stuck in. I'd do all the shit I would ever want to do, but was too scared to before I tried killing myself. Also, go see a psychiatrist.
 
Thought about it when I was 13-14 and my emotions were all over the place (seriously, 12-15 was such a hard time for me emotionally, no one was doing anything to me to cause it, it was all me).

Then I realised how silly it was and moved on with life.

QFT
i quit my meds a month ago from one day to the next and i'm fine, but that's because they were weak and didn't do much for me besides making me sleepy and killing my sex drive.
also helps that i'm on vacation and having a great time
going cold turkey if you take strong meds is fucking stupid and has nothing to do with willpower
quitting therapy is even dumber
 
My first attempt was at age 8.

I tried to slice my wrists with a pair of scissors.

There were about 5 other attempts up to age 21. Never got help. It was quickly shushed up and few people knew about it.

No. I'm scared of dying.

Is suicide your way of coping with the loss of a loved one?

No, that's another source of self hatred. I don't miss things or people, my grandmother died like 14 years ago, she was the only adult in my family that I loved. I cried when I saw her die, she had cancer and came home to pass, but I can honestly say I have not missed her for one second. That alone makes me feels inhuman.

And how are you, these days?
 
Suicide is never a good choice. It's permanent and you can't take it back. You may not think you'll hurt people but you will. When you're depressed, you feel like you're all alone in the world and nobody cares about you. But there are people who care about you. I don't even know you and yet I'd be depressed if I heard you killed yourself. So many people attempt suicide (and fail) and look back years later at how awful a choice it would have been.

Your judgment is being hampered. There was a story about a Chinese man who saved over 40 lives at a famous suicide spot. And if you can become a stronger person, a happier person, you will be the one to help out others in need. Find a purpose. Volunteer and help others.

I tried a little over a year ago, obviously I failed. I tried something called Cardiac tamponade; basically I took an eleven inch jungle knife, placed a mark over my heart between the fourth and fifth rib from the top and plunged the knife in. It felt very odd and not necessarily painful (which is why I chose tamponade, it's supposedly a relatively pain free way to go), ultimately I couldn't get through the intercostal tissue/cartilage. After 5 hours of laughing at the absurdity of my situation, crying at my failure and trying to convince myself to finish the job; someone found me and I spent a month in a locked psychiatric ward. I realize it was a shitty attempt, I should have tried something more definitive.
D: Even as someone who has attempted suicide, that was hard to read. Goddamn.

Back in January I tried to drown myself, and then in April I overdosed on caffeine pills (heart stopped). Fun times. :\

I talk to a psychiatrist every 2 weeks for half an hour; it's difficult to open up to another person and not really a great deal of time for really intensive therapy.

(Most) psychiatrists in this day and age are really only good for writing prescriptions. If you need someone to talk to, see a counselor/therapist/psychologist.
 
the sad/interesting thing about all of this is that people who attempt to kill themselves via methods like cutting/stabbing/pills/etc have low success rates, but at the same time when they survive have high rates of relapse. whereas people who attempt things like guns, jumping have very high success rates, but when they survive have very low rates of relapse. there are some studies regarding impulsivity ratings and prevention of suicide relapses, but there just seems to be something about the personality of a person who would do it in a less 'violent' way that leads to relapse, or something in the violence of the more impulsive methods that prevent relapse if survived.
 
My dad was suicidal all of last year. One time I discovered the rope and stool he was planning on using to hang himself with in the trunk of his car.

It's an unusual feeling when a loved one is so openly suicidal, and rejecting all help. I used to see him at around launch time for 15 minutes most days, but he lived alone in a small apartment. At the end of each launch I was unsure whether he would still be alive the next day - and when he was late to launch you could do nothing be fear the worst. Ugh.

My counsellor, back in theday was a woman named Shelly. She was great. She even visited me once in the psych ward. A strong woman who I still respect to this day. The other one, who prescribed my meds, didn't seem to care. He just talked ona nd on about setting goals. Pointless shit. He never tried to talk it out. So yeah, Shelly was good, the other guy was horrible. After that I just decided I was strong enough to persevere on my own, and now I'm a stronger person because of it.

THE MIND IT BOGGLES...

When even a papercut hurts like a motherfucker, I can't imagine not feeling pain from a huge ass knife.

Sure but I wouldn't exactly go out and recommend it. I can understand it being an eye opening experience though.
