Answer 1

If you have thought about suicide or are suicidal at the moment, I would see a doctor immediately. Trying to commit suicide does not lessen thoughts of another suicide and feelings of depression do not go away or lesson. You need professional help to deal with these issues.

Answer 2

I tried to commit suicide in April of this year, to cut a long story short I felt very depressed was suffering from nerve problems then my son had an accident and I blamed myself I know now this wasnt my fault. I took an overdose of tablets and was rushed to hospital and also very drunk, when I came home from hospital I looked at my children and burst into tears I couldnt believe that I could have been so selfish, they would have been devastated if I had of sucseeded it would have torn my family apart, infact just the thought of me taking an overdose nearly did, ILooking back I didint really want to kill myself I think it was just a cry for help as i'm not good at explaining my feelings and I thought people would think I was mad! Now when i'm feeling low I look at all the positives in my life and there are plenty please seek help if you feel this way, there is light at the end of the tunnel take it from me, i ve been there,life is a gift!

Answer 3

no i've never tried it, but a freind of mine tried it so many time. But he reason were never really clear. I don't think you ever stop being depressed i think you just have long moments of being happy, that make it seem like your not depressed. Because right now it seem to me like my friend is doing fine. but out of now where he'll just go back to how he was. so just find a close friend that will watch you and take care of you cause that the best thing you could do.

Answer 4

You are acting as if you are not in control of yourself. You have to realize that you are choosing to feel this way. The only way to overcome this feeling, is to first realize why you are feeling this way. What in your life is so bad? Make a list. Once you have come to a realization, then you have to commit to stopping this feeling. The only way to do this is by positive thinking. You need to do this... Example.. Tell yourself every day.. " I am a strong person and I can get through this" , " I love myself", " I am a very important person" Try this. Use at least one of these affirmations or make one up that best suits you.

Answer 5

I have had many depressed and suicidal friends in my life, I know how hard things are for you. I tried so many things to help my friends, and I only found one thing that truly made a difference and an impact in their lives. I brought them to Church with me. I do not know if you are a Christian or if you have ever even been to Church before, but I know for a fact that it will help you. This is no evangelistic approach to get more people into the Church or to preach the gospel to you, I am simply letting you know of the best thing for you to do. I know from experience that this will truly help you. Please let me know what you decide to do.

In Him,

Christine

Answer 6

From what my psychology professor says, the thought of suicide has crossed most peoples mind's. I don't know if this is a statisic or his opinion. I know it has crossed my mind in the past but not to the point of being obbsessed over the thought or even trying.

I also deal with being depressed and saddness. I get sad when I am in a situation that I don't want to be in. At this point it is time for me to change it, whatever it may be.

In the winter I seemed to get depressed. I believe it is partly the lack of sunlight, I am more confined in my home, and I dress down more just to keep warm. Baggy sweat shirts and stuff.

I have bought a few nice warm clothes for winter, I am hoping that will help. I will force myself to get out more often, even though I dread the cold.

My life in the past seemed hopeless. I wasn't really sure what was wrong except I had so much time on my hands all I would do is think about how my life sucked. I decided I needed to do something about it. I chose college and over time my self-esteem got better and I wasn't feeling so down. I realized that I had felt that I had no purpose in life. Now I know I have a purpose.

Excercise it supposed to be good to relieve stress so I am assumeing it would help with depression.

Cognitive restructureig is helpfull. (Change the way you think and then the way you feel will change over time.)

Use thought stopping. (When you get a thought of suicide or depression yell stop inside your mind and replace it with a good thought.) Therapist's use this method.

Find something you enjoy doing. For me it's college and ofcourse this yahoo answers stuff. I like to take care of plants because I am what keeps them alive. May sound silly, but it makes me feel good. I have a personality of wanting to help people so I guess that is why I enjoy "helping" my plants live a long healthy life. I am seeking a psy. degree to help people but I am not going to be the kind that says your depressed, you already know that. I want to help you work through your problems.

I really can't suggest things for you to do because I don't know your personality or what you like, but I will give you a few idea's and then you can go from there.

Poetry, excersise, volunteer as a big brouther, sports.
You can sit down write a list of things you would like to do no matter how far fetched they may be. Even if it seems unreachable write it down anyways. Then you can go back through your list and pick what you want to do and then follow through.

If you have someone your close to that you can be open with talk to them on how you feel. This doesn't mean that they will have any answers for you, but sometimes it just feels good to let it all out. For me sometimes it is easier for me to talk to a complete stranger than someone close. I tend to be more open. That is just me. ( I have a hard time with commuicating with loved ones.) I am still working on that one.

Good luck to you and I hope you start to feeling better.

Answer 7

Yes it crossed my mind many times.I got very depressed while illness got me to the point that I was foolishly thinking that I as in I myself couldn't deal with it.Then I thought again.If I do this how will my Wife And Kids and the rest of the family deal with it.They wouldn't be very proud that I wasn't man enough to stick around and deal with it or that I took the cowards way out.The thought has not crossed my mind for over 45 years now.I love my family and most important they love me.

Answer 8

Can't say I've ever tried it, and hopefully circumstances will not be so bad as to move me in that direction. If you are currently stressed to the point that you feel you need to terminate your life, go grab your phone book and look up the suicide prevention hotline. It should be inside the front cover of your phone book.

Answer 9

I've attempted four times, and been really close to doing it twice.

The feelings are with me all the time, sometimes they are very faint, and other times very intrusive.

I eat chocolate, go for a run, write, read....they help me stay in the here and now, and also, focusing on something you can't wait to do, or something that's going to happen (that's fun/good) you can 'train' yourself to automatically do this, and in time, that's what your mind will do itself, and your suicidal feelings may abate a bit.

Answer 10

I would never try to commit suicide no matter how worse a situation may be. Life gives you struggles and when you least expect it things get better. If you feel that way you should defintely seek counseling.
