Yes, ive thought about suicide many times in my life. I have felt the need to die, that things were so bad in my life there was no reason to live and i sure didnt want to live. But then i realized, that was just my depression talking, i realized that despite all the bad in my life there was still good in my life and the good is all i needed to pull through.
On many occassions, my girl (my life) brought me through these suicidal thoughts. She kept me strong and reassured me that there was still hope for me and thats all i needed. Life can be completely bad but as long as theres love involved, that should be enough to want to live.

Yes, and I am SO GLAD I didn't do it. Nothing stopped me. I survived my suicide. I survived my self-abuse and reckless insanity as well.I finally went to a counselor and found out how to live. From there, I went on to the military, followed by college and on to living a life I never could have foreseen. I built my life so I could live it the way I wanted. I love every day that I am here.
I guess after being abused and then going on to abuse myself, it took awhile for me to realize I was worth trying for. I decided to make at least as much effort for myself as I would a friend or sister/brother. Gradually, life got better and better. I got away from those who would hurt me. I stopped listening to the critics. I went after my own life in my own way and it worked out very well. I have gotten to travel, to live, to laugh, to love, and become someone I really like to be. I have met amazing people in amazing places.
I know now that it ALWAYS gets better. The pain is temporary. If I had died, I would've missed out on so much! I would be pissed if I died without feeling the beach under my feet or seeing the Rockies or hearing my first born laugh. I would've missed the very best part of it all.
I had to get sober, get real, and build a dream. You can too. Not only does it get better...it gets GREAT. Don't miss out.

Yes, everyone thinks of suicide even if it's just once in their lifetime.
My significant other, they asked me out when I was really in a bad situation. After that I've never thought about suicide.

Yes....walked up a small hill behind a housing on the rez thinking
of suicide. Until I saw a young Arapaho male hanging from a tree branch. Made me think twice.

Yes, I've tried it once. I had the gun in my mouth, the hammer pulled back and was about to pull the trigger, when my brother in law walked up behind me and put his thumb on the hammer and pulled the gun away. I pulled the trigger but it never made contact with the bullet. The hammer was stopped by that piece of skin on his hand that's between the thumb and fore finger.

yes, then i thought about how it would not help my family, friends, or others. I realized that this is very selfish. Most religions do not look at suicide as a acceptable way to end life either.

I only thought about suicide when life was bad, but when life is great I love it...basically thinking about suicide was a temporary thing, however I never tried it..just thought about it.

Yes I have. What stopped me was when my mother killed herself 8 years ago. I understood how much it hurts those left behind. I hope this is just a question.

Hello,
Yes.It is the worst feeling in the world.What stopped me is thinking of my children,and how they need me,and thinking about how I really DO matter,even if some bitter and cruel individuals treat me as if I do not.
I hope that if you are feeling this way,you will reconsider,talk to someone,and hang around awhile to watch things get better.They always do...when you are down,the only place you can go is UP!
Best wishes.I care.
