Answer 1

I have tried and as you can tell failed. I took an overdose and it landed me on life support and then a mental institution. It was the best thing for me since I finally learned what the hell was going on inside my head. I also learned that my family was devastated and that they will never get over the fact that I tried. At first I felt like I was a stupid *** because I couldn't do that right but now I know that it wasn't my time and it happened for a reason. It was an eye opener when you wake up and you have a tube stuck down your throat and you are tied to the bed. Please get help if you just failed because it was meant to be and give yourself a Chance in this life because there is more out there to live for then what is going on now in your life.

Answer 2

I am 25 years old. I started suffering from depression at age 10 and started to display symptoms of bipolar disorder at age 17. I have tried to kill myself, and failed, three times. I have thought about it, and yearned for it all to be over, countless more times. You have to realize that this is not normal, and this is not you. Our thoughts and emotions are in the brain, and when something is not right in our brains, our emotions and thoughts will not be right either. If all else has failed, the most effective treatment for depression is electroconvulsive therapy. It is not as scary anymore as it used to be, and definitely worth a try compared to suicide. Our lives are over quickly enough. There is a reason not to end it, you just cannot see it right now. I have been there. I know it cannot be exactly the same, but maybe similar. Everytime I overdosed, I was so sure that I really wanted it this time. I took all the pills, and began to feel my body respond. My limbs began to feel heavy, my chest burned like it was going to explode, my heart raced so fast I could hardly breathe. I was so sure I wanted it, but when the reality hit, I became scared. I thought "This is really it. I'm really not going to wake up tomorrow, and my body is going to be under the ground within a few days." I was so scared, I tried to vomit up the pills I had taken. By then my muscles were so relaxed that I could not do it, no matter how hard I tried. I thought "There's nothing I can do to change this now. I'm really going to die this time." I felt so helpless, because it was too late. By some miracle I survived, but now I pay the price of early liver damage. It's not worth it. Try a different med, try electroconvulsive therapy, try anything. Just don't try to kill yourself. I don't know anyone who has survived suicide without later being glad that they did. And those who didn't survive, we can never know if some of them weren't like me, desperately wishing they could take back what they had done.

Answer 3

Yes, I have.....and I failed?? Yes I did. And so do many others. Actually when I OD"D I thought that really was the absolute dumbest thing I'd ever done and the problem was just that...It resolved itself. Life is not always fair, I know.. But life can be mighty sweet.. Find a neurtal person( mental health pro's) to get some help.. You've got a life to live.. Look for Mental Health phone numbers or Crisis Lines Call and Live

Answer 4

Wow. I'm going to be completely honest with you. You are way too young (I'm assuming) and have too much to offer to the world to be even thinking about something as PERMANENT a suicide. Believe me when I say that suicide should never be an option. FOR ANYBODY. You may think that it's an easy way out now but have you ever thought about how many people it would affect? I'll tell you this much. If you have a problem, share it with someone. A stranger or a best friend; it doesn't matter. It's better to carry a load with another shoulder. It always helps for me.

Answer 5

Several times. Then I became a Christian, and the Lord showed me that it was wrong to try and take the life that He had given me. There's no reason to try to kill yourself. It's temporary, even though it may feel horrible right now. But, to contradict another answerer, I would NOT go to the ER and tell them you're suicidal unless you are in imminent danger of hurting yourself (or someone else). ER's are the worst place!! They'll either let you go home or lock you up in a horrible ward. Find a good therapist, find the Lord, and, even though it won't be easy (I still struggle with various issues at times), it will be worth it. I don't want to go into my whole story here, but trust me, it's worth it now that I'm mostly on the other side of it.

Answer 6

i have tried twice and twice obvious i have failed since i am here to answer your question.

i am still angered that the first time they "saved" me because i should have died, if you ask me. but here i am.

but i can tell you one thing and one thing only...

i have since read a quote and that has told me the reason i am alive today and that is...

"We can make our plans, but the final outcome is in Gods hands"

i believe it came from scripture somewhere, but i don't remember which psalm, one day i may come across it again and write that part down too, although i am not a real religious person i have to believe that this is the reason i am not meant to commit suicide.

but i must tell you also the truth that suicidal thoughts are still with me on a daily basis. and the the first suicidal attempt that i made was in the mid 1980's.

Answer 7

To thoroughly answer your question, yes. I just answered a similar question and will give the same advice to you. I assumed that if I took my life that I would be getting a free pass to heaven. Am I sure of that? No. Are you?
P.S. If you aren't a Christian or are an atheist, substitute this definition: a place of peace free from pain, life immortal. Same concept. Have I wanted to die since my last attempt? yes. Would I attempt again? NO!

Answer 8

Prozac is fatal if combined with marijuana. Prozac causes suicidal tendencies. And to answer your question, yes.

SEE a DOCTOR, there are OTHER antidepressants out there that actually WORK.

Answer 9

I tried a sleeping pill overdose but that didn't work, I think I didn't take enough. After that I tried mixing sleeping pills and red wine but that didn't work either. After that I went into counselling.

Answer 10

These meds can make a person feel like you want to die. So please if you feel this way call a counselor or MD. Life is way too precious.
