All the time. But not seriously anymore. Nothing can stop you if you really want to. But usually people don't really want to it's just a cry for help in a world that seems not to care much. And don't expect anyone to jump up and care just because you announce you want to kill yourself. My mother certinaly didn't and when I did try to kill myself she got pissed off and dropped me off and the door to the ER and left. So what was the lesson there for me?
If i want to kill myself then I should realize it for a lot of good reasons but I am the one who is going to have to get control of myself and solve my own problems. Now I realize that if I were to kill myself then I let the world defeat me. It's better for me to keep on keeping on and find my own way and become stronger because of it. Death is the easy way out. There are always reasons to kill yourself if you think about it that way. But there are way more reasons to live if you can find them. If this is a personal question because you want to kill yourself then please email me immediatly so we can talk. This is all about perspective. If you need to broaden yours then I can help. I have 3 suicide attempt under my belt but now I love every second even when I hate it. Life is crazy don't let it make you that way.

1). medical intervention and confronting my issues 2). I tried to off myself too many times between the ages of 14 and 21. The last time I attempted it was in 2001.. I ended up in the mental hospital and met alot of people there and realized that I didn't belong there anymore. I just wanted to appreciate the little things in life again... feeling the breeze on my face never felt better. I haven't felt like that in a long time, so nothing is really keeping me. I have a son now and feel like I have more purpose in life if that's what you mean. I can also catch things alot quicker... like when I ever took birth control I got really depressed or if my thyroid is outta wack so I avoid things like that. Most people that sink into serious depression are not aware that it is happening until they've been suffering for awhile. I wouldn't say christians or atheists have more hope just based on their beliefs. Many suicidal people will tell you that it isn't about going to a better place, but just ending the pain they are in now...doesn't matter if there is somewhere to go after you die or not.

Realizing how many people I would be leaving behind, and how many people love me stopped me. I just realized that in the big picture I had way too many things to live for and too many things I hadn't yet experienced. Also had an assignment in a class where we had to pretend we had been killed by a drunk driver and we were to get 2 people close to us to write us a letter as if we would read it after we had been killed. It was one of the most emotional things I had ever done in my life. I got both of my parents to write me a letter and just realizing the pain a parent has when they lose a child really hit me. I realized that the problems I had could ultimately be fixed and that I had too many people in my life that loved me to live for. Best decision I ever made. I am so glad I am still here.

Never thought about that, I love life itself and even storm come to my life I will never think of killing myself. That is the meanest thing you could do to yourself. Once my ex-boyfriend told me he wanted to kill himself just to get my attention, my answered was just plain and simple go ahead kill yourself, he never did it and now he is a very successful business man.

No because I know the result of that. If one takes their life they become a ghost. Ghosts are extremely miserable because they incessantly think of their miserable condition just before they died. They are not dead they still have their mind, lack of intelligence, and false ego. They have no physical body or senses to enjoy so they try to inhabit other bodies to try to enjoy. They are even more miserable than before because practically no one sees or hears them in their utter despair. It's an extremely bad deal. If one actually understands our actual purpose in life then they become free from misery and suffering and illusion. One must understand the meaning of life and they will become happy.

Yes I have and the will to survive and thrive is in my very stubborn character. If I kill myself, "they" will have won and I am to stubborn to let them.
If you are having thoughts or considering acting upon thoughts I urge you to get help.
Suicide is a very selfish act of a very sick person. Sometimes the pain is so bad we cannot get ourselves out without some intervention. Please seek help if you need to do so.
I wish you luck.
Peace.

I myself have never thought of that, but several people I know have tried. One girl stopped because her parents came in to save her, one boy stopped because he realized that it could all be solved (have you ever heard that statistic, that 95% of people who are killing themselves realize 2/3 of the way through that everything can be solved, very simply and easily) and one girl, sadly, wasn't stopped. :( I miss her.

Not seriously. I believe suicide is cowardly and hurtful to your loved ones. I'd rather fight the good fight and, even if I'm not convinced there's any particular purpose for us being here, we *are* all here. Life's hard for everyone, not just me, and I'd like to be able to pass on my knowledge and experience to others so it can be a little easier for them, and so they don't feel like suicide is the answer.
