No I haven;t, but I have known people who have, and this question jarred me. I had been kicking around asking useless questions and making fun, but this is serious. You need ot get help and call a crisis hotline, or even 911. Do it now, if you really did those things before, and are now typing in this question, please call now.

Tried twice with pills, the hospital stay was ugly. That was in 1984, many moons ago. I'm now on meds and see a psychotherapist about once a month and also I see my psychiatrist so that he can monitor things from the medical standpoint. I do these things as maintenance. I'm not seriously depressed, but that's because I take the meds, write in a journal, do psychological exercises, pray, meditate, and see the Dr & therapist.
I really hope you did this in the past and will never do it again. Please get some help, see a Dr. If you're depressed, know that depression is a physical illness, and it's not a matter of willpower either. Please do whatever it takes so that you never even want to attempt suicide again.

No I havent. You need to remember that life moves in a big circle, like a wheel. Sometimes you're at the top and sometimes at the bottom. But nothing in life is permanent, so no matter how bad you are feeling now, know that if things cant get any worse, they will only get better. I felt like committing suicide once, but I held out and life got better. I look back now and realise what I could have missed out on. You might not want to live now, but in a year you could be the happiest you've ever been, so just hang in there and things will get better.

Pretty scary. I happen to want to stay alive, but I will tell you this (I have never told anyone about this quote that I heard). I was diagnosed with schizophrenia a while ago, and when I was sick, I kept hearing the quote "He has to die, it's the only way!" (which happens to come from The Butterfly Effect movie that I watched) OVER and OVER in my mind. I was schizophrenic, and I didn't know what it meant, so I went home and I cut the side of my neck. It was only a superficial wound, but I went to the mental hospital anyway. I don't know why I did it, I feel like such a loser for doing it now. I SERIOUSLY was hopeless and wanted to die a while ago, but now I want to live my life. Why did you want to die? I could tell you other stories if you want to know. Do you have any health problems from swallowing all those asprins?

shot in the head....unsuccessful
Still alive but I type with a pencil held between my gums.
I never thought of running away to a friends house for a day. How does that work as suicide?
Just kidding. I don't want to die. I have to know what's going to happen next. Life is not something to toy around with. It's too valuable.

No, and you really shouldn't try. No matter what your problems are right now and how big they may seem, in time, everything is going to get better and in a couple of years, you'll probably laugh that you thought those problems were so dramatic that you wanted to kill yourself. Life should be cherish. Think of all those persons who are killed each day and would give anything to keep on living. Cherish life and try to look at the bright side of things. You'll be less depressed that way.

It's been my dream. But I'd like to call it differently I call it "Liberation". Suicide sounds so........., offensive.
I did not ask myself to come to this world, I did not even had the choice to decide who'll be parents, what will be my country and so. I have to experience all things here that give me no choice. You think so called positive emotions are positive? happiness for exp.
Please people don't tell me what's there in the Bible, because I just don't want to know.
