yes, i got help, i went to a hospital, basically a looney bin, and i never got to see my parents, it wasn't the staff that helped, it was being away from my family that made me realize i wanted to live. I have nightmares about that night still. My best friend took his life so i thought it wouldn't hurt me so much if i were dead, so i took a bottle of tylenol and hoped my liver would fail. Thank God it didn't. I love my life and i could kick myself for trying such a thing. Thanks for being open and honest, guys!

yes, BiPolar and depression and medication make everything crazy, i was put on prozac right before it happened... the worst part is, i have never told my friends,i dont want them to think i'm weird i dont want them to treat me different, and i sure as hell dont want the attention. But most of all, i dont want them to think of me as a failure. I dont want to be weak, or feel weak. Its crazy how things like divorce, deaths of loved ones, moving away, and depression can make you want to take your own life. Thats why i did it. all of the above. dicorce. best friend died. moving away and never seeing my friends again. I feel terrible about my stupid choices.

I have tried to commit suicide twice. The first time I was 15 and then again at 17. Both times it was cause by severe depression due to events that were happening in my life. I was very overwhelmed. Anyway, I am very glad that I am still here on most days. I have a wonderful daughter and hubby now that I look forward to spending time with them every day. I suffer from depression, POST, and something else. I know that I will never be "normal" again, I need my med every day or I can get really depressed.

I overdosed on paracetalmal when i was at college. I had got very down and did it without thinking. I still do not fully understand why i did it. It's something i never thought i'd do.
People say that if they could change something in the past they wouldn't because it made them who they are, but i would change something. I wouldn't have done it. It has not made me a better person or taught me anything. It has made me scared of myself. If i did it once could i do it again? I don't think i would, but thats what i thought before i did it the first time.
I am glad i am still alive, but i do not think i am better off. I feel like i dont know myself anymore. i'm not the person i thought i was. I do not understand people that put there friends and family through so much pain. i do not understand why i did it. I am ashamed of what i did. It is something i hope i never have to go through again

I've never actually attempted to go through with it but I have seriously thought about it, especially when I was about 14. I'm definately glad i'm still alive today because since that time I had a baby girl and I love her more than anything. If I had attempted and succeeded with it, she wouldn't be here today and that's just a really heartbreaking thought to me. Just thinking about all the people that you would be hurting can really change your decision, or so it did for me.

Better then living in eternal Hell. I am looking forward to the day I go to Heaven the right way. Life goes on , things always get better. Life is never as bad as you think it is when you are down. Yoy just can't see the forest for all the trees. To day , this week , this month might be bad. But with faith after that things get a hole lot better. Oh and yes I planed where and how I was going to kill my self. That is a sin , murder . I am just fine now . Hang in there and call your doctor for help. If you can't wate call 911.

I have never attempted suicide. My mother did though. Sometimes life hurts so much that we don't think we have a way to cope. But please know there would be far more pain if you had died. So much pain for the people you left behind. There is always an answer. There is always help. Life can be stressful, and hard...but you will find that it's always way easier than we think it will be. Talk to friends or family members. Suicide is never and answer. Good luck and God bless.

I had thoughts & a plan to not only kill myself but also my 2 older children. Sure glad i never went through with it.
Post Partum Depression sure puts a spin on things! Glad I was diagnosed with having that & BiPolar Disorder! Medications are wonderful.

I thought about it once, when I was about 15. The reason I didn't go through with it was because I knew my dad would blame my mom for it, plus the reason I wanted to kill myself was really stupid.
And yes, I'm really glad I didn't do it, cuz as I got older, I've had three children and I'm married to a wonderful husband, I've got great friends, I've had two really great jobs; plus, I learned that killing oneself is one of two sins you can't repent of, so therefore, I'd be in hell right now and be missing out on a great life.
