i'm not in favor of suicide 'cause i think that if you leave unhappy, your pain goes with you there & it doesn't end. i'm just being curious. you can talk ab. it if you want.

I've tried twice (intentional overdose both times). Also been in hospital several times when the thoughts wouldn't go away. It's a bad idea, but I surely understand that you think about it. If you are asking because you are seriously thinking about doing it, call 911 or go to a hospital. You'll be glad you did!

A long, long time ago when I was an atheist. Now I'd never do it because to put it bluntly, I'd burn for that. I just think suicide is wrong now and where I use to blame myself for absolutely everything, even almost bad weather sometimes by way of metaphor, or in other words even things I couldn't really control. Now I just blame other people for stuff a lot more and haven't had a suicidal thought in over 5 years.

I thought about suicide a few times. I was in an abusive marriage for almost 30 and didn't see a way out of it, and didn't want to live that way anymore. When I had almost succeeded once, a bulb came on that being miserable on my own was something that could be fixed. But being miserable with my husband was no way to live. So I got myself together and just LEFT> That was almost 3 years ago and I haven't felt that bad ever since.

Yes it is not unhealthy if the rare few times in life you think of what it would be like to commit suicide.
The person who is pre-occupied with suicidal ideations on a daily basis or the cutter is in need of commitment to a mental hospital for 72 hours observation an evaluation.
They either go the calm way or restrained and taken by a clinical psychiarist who has the legal and moral authority to place any person who tells them they are thinking of taking their life in a mental hospital for evaluation.
Even if they say it was only a joke.

Yes when I was seriously ill, and thought that being out of the way, my family, would be spared of putting up with me. At that time I could not see a way out of the circumstances I was in, everything seemed so heavy and dark. Knowing that taking my life is a sin, I soon found the consolation I was looking for in the Bible, and in time got well and went on with it and today I praise and thank the Lord, for having seen my children get married, and having two "grands"

Yes, Ive been suicidal. About 11 yrs ago, I was raising stepkids and my hubby and I had a child of our own. I was so depressed anyway and then going thru the hurt of his kids and him never supporting me, I was falling and falling fast.
I actually had the gun in my hand, while sitting on the edge of my bed and suddenly my son came to mind. What will he do without me? How will his life turn out? The thoughts of my little boy saved my life. I put the gun away and decided to get professional help.

Of course I thought of this, and that's normal! Sometimes it seemed as it it were the only way to realease the pains of this world but it's not! That's the devil showing you all the bad things about life...you have to dig with in yourself and find the good and I'm sure you'll feel a lot better.

i guess i should say that i have been suicidal, i don't know that i could have ever killed myself though, but sometimes i get so severely depressed that living is too much of an effort. the thought of being here is too much to bear....the thought of moving i guess is too much to bear....i'm completely overwhelmed and all i wish to do is sleep away until everything fixes itself in the world and if i knew that it was never going to fix itself then i would have to beg God to let me die. sometimes i feel that if one more thought enters into my brain i will literally lose my mind....thats a scary place to be....oh well, gets thats just the way it sometimes...

I think maybe we have all thought of suicide from time-to-time, during the low points in our lives. My dad always used to tell me, "the darkest hour comes just before the dawn", and when you're tired - and of course it's true. Also, my belief is that God gave me my life; it is not mine to take away.

yes i did because the people I was friends with at the time were using me, etc. But then I realized they were sucky friends, and that I had a great family, and I found better friends and all is well
