Have you ever attempted suicide? What were you escaping?

Question

During college I was feeling very lonely and under pressure, so I emotionally and mentally prepared myself to end it. But, I just couldn't figure out a way to do it that would be convenient for my family. I finally convinced myself not to do it b/c I would miss out on the great hot dogs they had in the cafeteria. I went to bed and the next day I made sure to savor that hot dog. Things sorta picked up from there.

Nowadays, whenever things take a turn for the worse I do a quick "is this worth ending it all for?" Usually the answer is no and that sort of puts the problem in perspective.

Answer 1

Can't answer that to the public...it's private.
But you can e-mail me and I do have a personal story I will share.

Answer 2

Yes I ate rat poison when I was twelve. I also Slit my wrists and ate a whole bottle of Tylenol at 15.

I was afraid to tell my parents that I was bisexual. I knew that they wouldn't accept me. They still don't know. At the time, I thought I liked girls more than guys. I wanted to be open with them about the fact that I was doubting alot of the things I grew up with. Like my faith. I started to drift away from the church at 12.

I started to realize that alot of the things I was brought up with were ignorant idealist ideas that have no place in modern society.

In fact when I wrote my suicide note. I said, I can't believe I am surrounded by so many ignorant educated people.

Also, I had no friends. I had been constantly switched schools. And I was beaten up everyday by kids I didn't know because I didn't groom myself like other girls. My normal hairstyle was a ponytail and I wore baggy clothes.

Lots of reasons. I started feeling better about myself after I got off ADD medication and started meditating.


I'd also like to add that when I was 12 my grandfather committed suicide a few years later my aunt committed suicide.
I haven't contiplated scuicide in 13 years.

Answer 3

a few times i tried to cutt my writs but never did I press hard enough to really do anything exept one time I found out that my boyfriend who I was maddly in love with cheated on me and I went into his bathroom and really tried but the knife was too dull lol.. I'm glad now tho because it would have been stupid to die over that. I would be dead and he would still be alive having sex with other girls..
plus, we broke up and then got back together... now I'm pregnant with his child and verry happy.

Answer 5

well get ready for the long story and take note that I dont usually share personal info but ill do it for you, that means you are speacial. My mum had a severe mental illness, we had alot of domeatic violence between my mum and my dad, they were always at each others throats, always plotting against each other and getting us to side with them, not my dad as much but mainly my mum did that, and we were always in the middle of it all (us three sisters) my dad didnt understand the fact that my mum was ill he was always busy working, and there she was busy taking it, my mum was always sudated on medication, she never hugged or kissed me or said well done to me in 15 yrs, all I ever saw her do was lie on that horrible brown sofa, we then all went in to care 2 -3 times, as well as being relieved from getting out of that horrible situation I had another problem, my big sis would often gang up with my foster parent and complain and moan about my weight and my laziness and what I did and didnt do to a extreme. I felt upset and low all the time I was around 12so I did understand life alot, I was real miture for my age as well. when we had been fuinally reunited with my parents, she still continued bitching about me at my mums house, but this time my mum would join in. they did not no that I was listening, it was amazing how they could ***** about me for days and hours. one day my sister took the pi.ss out of me real bad and to make it worse my mum did as well, I had enough, I ran upstairs went out of the window to the extension, jumped and landed on the horrible muddy, spidery sofa, no one found me either I was fine at the end of it. but when my big sister left my parents started controlling me so much they always beat the **** out of me over nothing, I felt so alone and one night I cut my arms 40 times, psyco or what yuk!! I wanted to get away from my parents and their problems and the violence.

then one day when I was pregnant, the babys dad accused me of this not being his child and cheating ( come on I was pregnant and innocent) this had been said to me for a while by him, i had enough, I was incare living in peoples house had the social services on my case he was violnet as well I slitted my rist and nearly died ( that was the worst thing that i had ever done I was 17 and 22 weeks and will never ever do again ever) since the day I had my child 3 years ago I have never attempted to die , although to my suprise I have encounterd worse problems during this period then ever, but knowing some one depends on me with his life, and thinking about where he would go if I became selfish just hurts to think about) although it may seem as the easy way out it is not, I never knew I would be so happey in my life, I never knew things would take a positive turn, I would have missed out on it if i died. god luck
