Question

this is for a project, please dont use profane or crude language. Thank you

Answer 1

Having battled with depression and knowing a lot of people that do I have considered this. In the darkest of days when you can see no light at the end of the tunnel it is something that a lot of people who are lost and alone consider.

To "normal" people, it seems irrational, but to someone that is suicidal this is the most rational thing - a way to stop the pain, stop the suffering - to just make everything stop.

Answer 2

I consider suicide when I was 13 years old. I was in eighth grade, it wasn't that I wasn't popular or anything. I had alot of friends and I was on the volleyball and softball team. But for some reason, deep down I was so unhappy. I drew away from my friends, started crying alot, skipping class, and almost got kicked off the team. One night, I was sitting in my room thinking and finally decided that it was to much. Life was to much. So I cut my wrist, but for some reason, I didnt die. The next day I was caught by my friends and someone told the nurse which I lied too about how I got the cut. My mother took me to the doctors and like I didn't already know I had depression, come to find out so didn't my mother and my sister. So I believe it was passed from my mom. I'm still dealing with it today, I'm depressed alot and I'd love to disappear but for a small period of time, I was okay and I got married and my husband knows about the whole thing, considering he was one of the friends I told back then. So he knows when to watch me carefully and when I'm okay. Its basically how my life is going that day.

Answer 3

Yes, when a person has more pain than resources to cope with it, then it becomes a way to stop the pain. It is selfish, but then again when you have hurt bad enough long enough your not in a right state of mind anyway. The pain can be mental, emotional or psychical, doesn't really matter, pain is pain. There are a lot of good groups out there to help people now. I like TOAC.com myself, it helped me a lot.

Answer 4

Yes. I was at a very dark time in my life. I couldn't make sense of what I was feeling and just wanted it to end. I came so close as to holding the butcher knife to my chest. At that moment, something flipped in my brain. I'm not sure how to explain it but it was like my will to live, which is inherently selfish by nature, just kicked in and I can distinctly remember saying "NO" really loud and then dropping the knife on the floor. I have never thought of doing it since.

several times in my lifetime..it's still an option ..the motivation was brought on by being hoplessly desperately in love and the relationship fell apart after 10yrs. i pulled myself together after much agony and pain vowing never to put myself thru that ever again in life. the other times i've felt suicidal is when i feel i have had enough of this life with all the tragedys and threats and dealing with people but then again i want to see what the end will bring me. i've never attempted only had ideations .hope this is helpful

Answer 7

Yes! I tried suicide off and on for many years, stupid! Until I was really faced with the realization that I could die, did I realize I wanted to live. I'll never try suicide again.

Answer 8

Yes I have. I came pretty close actually. My life was a mess. I had lost my job & was behind on every bill, couldn't afford food for my 2 kids & found out my fiance' was cheating. I felt overwhelmed. Like there were no alternatives. Then I thought about my kids. What would happen to them? No one could love them as much as me. They got me through it. Although they have no idea that they saved my life.

Answer 9

No I have never considerered suicide. That word is not in my vocabulary. Sorry, but no thank you I love myself wayyy too much. I value my existence and I will never ever apply harm to myself. I think people should start to love themselves more JUS LIKE ME!!! Once you love yourself no one can ever get to you. just try it , it really works PEOPLE!!!

Answer 10

I do not really think about committing suicide but I do think what my friend and family would think or say if I did. Like would they miss me or think lower of me because I did. Things like that.
