Yes. Twice. Both times I downed pills but all it did was left me really sedated. It was the second time that I did it (Christmas 2010) when I woke up from my sedated state, although still really depressed, I actually found there was a reason for me to live. Since then, I haven't thought about it. Yes I still get sad, lonely, and a little depressed here and there, but not to the point where I want to try and kill myself.
 
yes I thought about it. What made me stop was because it was too painful for me to do. I tried hanging myself.

have u thought of sucide ... and what stopped you from doing it?

I think about it regularly, but I've never acted on it. What has stopped me thus far?

  1. fear of pain and ending all I've ever known;
  2. love for my family;
  3. my stubbornness and the hope I still have;
  4. the knowledge that I'll die in due time anyway.

I've thought about it, but I can only imagine how loved ones would react, I would never do that to them. Also I think it's kind of a waste of a life, there are some people who'd gladly swap their lives with you/me.. whatever your going through.
 
I haven't seriously thought of committing suicide. It would cause my family way too much pain. Plus, I want my death to be beneficial to them (i.e. some money left for them).

When I was a christian, I often prayed that I would just die. I wanted to die so bad. I really wanted it to be over before I turned 18... then 21... now I am over it.

I will die like everyone else - from poor health or a car accident.

I have. I didn't really have any reason to keep living at the time, no loved ones, nothing I cared about anymore, etc. But like a good friend told me just last night, you only get one life. Might as well make the best of it while it lasts.
 
I don't feel ready to speak even a little bit about it in group and i also don't wanna break the forum rules, but to your first question i answer with an honest yes, i did since i was a teenager and sometimes i still do.

That's where YOLO comes in.
 
Thought about it alot but never made plans... I think because deep inside I'm afraid of going to hell. I mean... If I think this is bad.... Hell?!? I know some of you guys think that's dumb but I refuse to live believing that there is nothing after death.
 
Yes, many times when I was severely depressed... I started to think about my loved ones and a trip to the hospital opened my eyes.
 
I have tried in the past. If I wasn't scared of maybe going to hell, I would kill myself now as I am so lonely. I have no family, so there would be noone who would be left devastated.
 
I have. Not good. I don't think it's quite fair to other people around, whether they care about you or not.

But I do understand too how sometimes, when someone is so down and depressed.. thinking of those around them is really the last thing that comes to their minds. :\
 
Let me put it this way. In a time I'd rather forget at this point, I used to have vivid fantasies of exactly how I'd go about it, the weapon involved, and using my death as a way to hurt all of the people in my life that I loved and that loved me for, in hindsight, very illogical feelings I had toward them...

Like I said, it's hard to think about, but we all have to bring out the feelings somehow, or else succumb to the pain we harbor because of them.
