Do You Think About Suicide ?

Question

Do you think about suicide on a daily basis ? Are they Idle thoughts of escape or more ?

Answer 1

I suffer from severe manic depression and think about suicide every day, not for escape as such, just because I think I was born into the wrong era, don't believe I belong in this life and don't feel like being part of 'modern' society, where casual sex and lack of respect, manners and acceptance is rife. After two failed suicide attempts and a hospital psychiatrist telling me I wasn't suicidal, I do wonder what to do next.... still here though.

Answer 2

I can honestly say yes, I think about suicide daily. But this is not in the way most people think. I fight with depression all the time. I have it under control as I now am aware of it and can catch myself when I feel like I'm slipping. And the good thing is, I am at a point when I don't need meds. But there was a time when my depression was so out of control that I considered suicide. And there was a time when I was in middle school that I took an overdose intentionally. I don't ever want to get back to that point again. So I remember the time I was suicidal. I remind myself every day to keep myself from re-visiting that place.

Answer 3

I think about suicide when i hear of another sad case. No matter how alone people feel there is always someone left with a great deal of pain after a suicide. It is too bad the caring couldn't come before such drastic measures were taken. If it is something you are considering, try getting some help because it can only get better from where you are now. It would be a complete waste to loose you.

Answer 4

I thought about suicide all the time. Most of the time they were Idle thoughts of escape but once it was something more and I tried to kill myself by overdosing on over the counter medicine. Needless to say, I am still here so I did not do a very good job. I got help after that. If you are heaving these feelings please see a doctor right away. You may think you'd never do it but one day you might surprise yourself.

Answer 5

Every has had or will think about suicide, and I always daydream about escape, I am a stay at home dad with two young kids at home.. Anyway you sound like you could use some help so I am going to share my story in an eggshell. A few years back, I went from a workaholic making tons of money, I was strong as an ox, I was there for my family, I survived on 3-4 hours of sleep a night. I came from nothing and climbed out of the ashes and built a real life for myself. Overnight this all changed. I fell of a ladder and became bed ridden for over a year. 4 Major operations. I was told I would only be able to stand and maybe take a few steps at a time. Becauese of my boss, I was not getting workers comp right off the bat. My savings were flying out of the bank. I was loosing my house, we had to go on wellfare. I never collected any type of assistance in my life. I never didn't have a job.. I was eating pain pills like candy.. The walls were caving in and I saw one way out.. I had a loded shotgun under my bed and every day sat withit in my mouth praying for the strength to pull the trigger.. One day I asked what I wanted in life, I asked what was important in life.. I decided to unload the gun and began to fight for my life back. Today things are better than they have ever been even though I am dirt poor. I am not on welfare. I stay home with hte kids. I didn't loose the house. Today I look at my injury as the best thing that ever happened to me. There is so much more to it. Please contact me if you would like to hear more and please search for the help you need before you make the wrong decissions. Think of all the people you will affect with this decission.. There is hope.. Trust me. If you never prayed or don't beleive, Just try it until thing pass, Good Luck, I hope to hear from you

Answer 6

Now they are idle thoughts of escape. 8 years ago they were daily thoughts of finishing it all ( I attempted it 3 times)

The thought of leaving my life unfinished would be a waste. If you have hit rock bottom the only way is up it may sound trite but it is the only way to look at it.

Answer 7

I thought about it today whilst sat on the kitchen floor staring into the abyss. I 'think' but I know the reality is that I will never ever put it into action. The thing that stops me is my overwhelming and unconditional love for my family. I have popped pills in the past - about 8 and that is what is classed as a overdose. I could have continued but I couldn't. I'm glad I will never get that low. I've cut. I cut. But I could never take my own life. It's too selfish as I wouldn't just be taking my own life. I'd be ruining the lives of those who love and care for me aswell.

Answer 8

i don't really think about it. i mean sometimes you think it could be an easy escape, but if you think about it, it is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. i don't think about it at all now that God is a big part of my life, and once i started a relationshi[ with Him, by asking Him into my heart, and accepting His son't death as a sacrifice for my sins. I really hope you don't think about suicide, because God has a great plan for your life, i am sure, and if you start a relationship with Him, there are rough spots and hard times, but it is all worth it in the end, cuz they have a purpose.

Answer 9

I think everyone, no matter how much they deny it has had the thought cross their mind buddy it is after all a curiosity of the unknown, i would dismiss it as an idle thought like you said, smile man. It's a cliche i know but things are never as bad as they seem, here's another cliche, time actually does heal problems.

Answer 10

Yes, quite a lot, and death in general. My father killed himself, years ago - out of despair I guess. A college friend - an angry and talented young man - did too, more recently. I gather he was psychotic by the end. When my darling 3 yr old niece died last year in a one-in-a-million chance domestic accident, I felt I would rather be taken myself, if it would bring her back. If my life doesn't get much better, I may end up doing it myself - but I'll wait for my mother to pass on first, I wouldn't want to hurt her feelings... I don't want anyone to have to sort out my belongings, or deal with a corpse.
