Was it spur-of-the-moment, or something you planned and prepared for? When you knew you were going to die, what did you think or feel (if you can remember)? Were you scared, or relieved that you wouldn't be in pain anymore? Are you okay with the fact that you weren't successful? How did you resolve the moral dilema for yourself?

For the record, I'm not suicidal myself, and not judgemental of people who have been.

yes, actually i have. a few months ago (i'm 17) i took an overdose on pain killers and antidepressants and was taken in an ambulance to hospital. they kept me in the emergency ward for 30 hours then took me over and locked my up in a psychiatric hospital - in an adult ward! i was in there for a few weeks. i hated it! it was scary! when i took the overdose, i was scared yet relieved, when i realized i was going to live, i was angry and depressed! i am still suicidal now, and a self harmer, i am under constant supervision and i totally wish i had died that day! it was planned so perfectly, i just didnt take enough!
i am in rehab and therapy now, i hate it and it isnt helping!
so i hope this helps, a little insight of my exciting experience, NOT!
well, yeah, bye

Yes I did. I was 14 years old, and was very emotionally upset. I don't remember being scared. I just wanted to end the emotional pain. I am okay with the fact that I wasn't successful, because I know now that I have a purpose in life & I need to fulfill it before I can die. I wasn't okay with it at the time, though. My parents never figured out it was a suicide attempt. They seemed to think I raided the medicine cabinet & took everything in it in an attempt to get high. I finally had to tell them it was a suicide attempt just last year (11 years after the fact). I don't know what you mean by "moral dilema." I don't recall there ever being a moral dillemma for me. I was just a teenager & my mind hadn't quite grasped the idea of reasoning out my actions rather than just reacting to my emotions.

To be honest once when I was 13 I tried to slit my wrist's. Years later I was diagnosed as Bi-Polar, I never tried again after that, but I thought about it all the time. It's easy to tell someone that killing yourself is wrong and all that, but until you have lived in someone else's shoe's. Try not to be so quick to judge. My brain doesnt function properly in that area. So, to me yes..suicide was a way to end my suffereing. No one knows what I went through that year before I tried. I tried to hold on, but I just couldnt deal with it anymore. I have been on and off meds for the last 10 years or so. So, I know what I am talking about. I have gotten a lot better over the last few years, I now have a family of my own. If I would have been succesful. I would have missed the most wonderful thing on earth. My son smiling and saying mommy I love you. I wouldnt trade that for anything. I just hope other ppl are as fortunate as I was. To get help before it's too llate.

yes i have and it was spur of the moment thing, I am ok with the fact that I wasn't succesful, as I have more to live for and I got through the drama's that caused my attempt.
Please if you are considering it talk to someone.

I remember when I was very young, being so down, feeling so inadequate,..so worthless..and that no one cared anyway...I remember feeling that there was only one way out and I tried to slit my wrists...for whatever reason, the police showed up at my house almost immediately,...to check up on me?? I knew it was not my time, and that God didn't want me to do that...but it was always when I was made to feel worthless by other people...I told my self, that even if no one else cared...that God and Jesus did...and it gave me strength to go on.
