how do i keep myself from committing suicide.i have been thinking about ending everything?

Answer 1

Consider that suicide is no escape. We think it is, but really I don't think so anymore. In the US Air Force I used to think about suicide alot. The Air Force always preached to us the anti-suicide message, but I began to do my own thinking about it, rejecting the USAF's message, which always seemed so narrow anyway.

I think that there is a high price for suicide because it is still murder. We don't call it murder, but it is and it's still killing a hi-level lifeform. I've noticed there's a hell-type payment for killing, even in this life. So it is my opinion that there will also likely be a payment for killing in the next life, if the bill isn't paid in full yet.

The saints tell us that suicide worsens the situation; there is a payment for the killing *and* then soul finds itself placed back in identical circumstances prior to the suicide.

I don't know about that, but it could be true and at least might be considered by one who is thinking about suicide. Like I said, I've got my own thoughts on it now and I encourage others to think it over and try and find some truth about it and everything else, too.

Answer 2

Think about what youd possibly be missing. The world is so amazing. and you only live once. And if you hate your life so much, why dont you try to escape in some other way, instead of ending it all together?

you only live once. And then you are just going to die eventually anyway, so you might as well make the best of things.

Like maybe you can move somewhere new. Meet new people. Fall in love. Get some hobbies. Go back to college.

There must be something thats worth living. I dont know.

I feel like that a lot myself. Sometimes I wonder if there is much of a point.

Theres so much stress and stuff.

I guess I still remember this girl I know who commited suicide junior year in high school, last year. It really hurt everybody. It realy hurt me.

I guess it would do yourself a favor and think about everyone that LOVES you and will NOTICE when you are gone. You will be suprised how much people will notice you when you are gone.

And if you have a heart at all, you will stay for them.

Hi Gerry - (one of my best friends is named Gerry). I wish I knew how old you are - I work in the Medical Examiner's office and unfortunately the suicide rate among teens is very high. You should find someone you are comfortable talking with - whether it be a doctor, teacher, counselor. This might be a time when someone who is a little older than you could be helpful. They can share some of their life experiences and let you know some of what you have to look forward to. There is just so much to experience in life thats wonderful. Especially if you're lucky enough to have children some day. If you are using drugs at all - or drinking alcohol - get some help for that - these can cause you to be depressed. You may need medication for the depression - believe me its nothing to be ashamed of. Just think about all of the wonderful things you have yet to accomplish - there is so much to experience in this world - being in love, having kids, traveling, friends, music, art ....its all worth it. Get some help - try to get past this and look forward to a wonderful and full life. I really hope that you are okay - I will be thinking about you and sending you good thoughts. Hugs

Answer 4

Gerry- I'm just a faceless entity on the other side of a computer screen. Minutes ago I just wrote about this same thing in this category. Suicide? I've not only been there, but I did it. On January 22, 2002 I took a large knife and stuck it in all my internal organs in alphabetical order, and died twice for a total of 13 minutes and 47 seconds. I was pronounced dead twice that night. I was airlifted by Life Line helicopter to Hershey Medical Center while my wife was in the EMT vehicle on her way to the hospital. Can you imagine what it was like for her when she heard over the radio,"Patient not responding-patient has expired"? I obviously don't know you, but what is going on in your life that's so bad that you think suicide is the only option? I know you'll get all kinds of responses to this-some helpful; some trite and predictable. But most people who reach this point do so because they believe that all their internal stress is at the mercy of external events. As a result, they try to manage their stress by managing the world around them- a most daunting and unrealistic task. And when they fail (and they will), the letdown and feelings of powerlessness only serve to intensify the depression they feel at not being master of their own destiny. The let down is excruciatingly painful and psychologically they feel certain that the only outlet is to end a life that they feel is wasted and suddenly useless. They begin to rationalize within themselves that there must be something woefully inadequate with themselves and instead of dealing with that pain that is monstrously unbearable, they immediately begin looking for an "out"-suicide. They then delude themselves into thinking that their death will somehow get even with such a cruel world or people who they believe are responsible for their pain. They believe that their death will symbolically destroy all those who didn't but should've seen it coming. They think about it and think about it until the resolve to do so is etched in stone in their broken heart and fractured mind. They believe their death will take them to a better place. But I have a question for you- are you sure that better place is really there? Whatever you're feeling inside, can you promise me that you won't do anything rash? That you'll sit down and think this thing through? Try setting more realistic goals for yourself and if somebody hurt you deep inside- well, your killing yourself is something they'll never accept responsibility for. And isn't that what you want? You want to know the truth if this is the case? That's probably what they want you to do!! Knowing this as only you do, and if this is what's happening to you in your life,- piss them off and live well. Whatever the case may be, as only you know it, you've been alive this long. Don't you think you owe it to yourself to call it a night and wake up tomorrow morning and turn yet another page?

Answer 5

What? You're kidding right? Listen, killing yourself is not the answer. It's true. I used to feel that way but I learned to live. I don't want to go down as a weakling. Think about your future. Think about your goals and where you want to be in the next couple years. Think about it. What good do you want to accomplish? And think about all the people you'll hurt if you committ suicide? Your family, friends. Even if you don't think you have that, remember that someone out there cares for you and WILL get hurt if they lose you.

Do you know what they say about suicide commiters? This is gonna be harsh, but its just tough love: Committing suicide is the pathetic way out. It makes you a loser. You need to stay and fight for the life you have. Suicide proves just how weak you really are. People will think you were so weak that you couldn't handle life and just decided to do away with it. Don't you want to prove to people that you're a strong person?

Remember, God's greatest gift to you is your life. But only you can decide what to do with it. God can help you get through it though. You won't get another life like this. Cherish it, make it your own, and LIVE. Don't take the easy way out. There's always a way. You know you're so much stronger than this.

Answer 6

You don't say anythign about why. what most suicidal people (in fact all people) don't realise is that suicidial people have some kind of chemical problem in the brain whereby they cannot experience the same pleasure as other people.

I was on the verge of suicide for a long time until I found out about and started taking neurotransmitter therapy. This is where you elevate the levels of neurotransmitters in the brain which are deficient. Your brain starts working properly again and you strart to feel *amazing* feeling's like you never thought possible. It's like magic, or like your taking a drug, but actually that's what everyone else feels like normally.

So you have to make the distinction between is it (a) a situational thing > are you incredibly depressed/stressed about a particular thing or (b) are you just generally extremely depressed and painful and don't know why?

If it's the second (and most probably it is) then you need to look into neurotransmitter therapy. Do a search on google. Specifically I would start out taking 5htp and tyrosine. These convert to serotonin and dopamine respectively in the brain. When I started taking these I just coudn't beleive the diference it made. It was like magic. I never knew it was possible to even feel that way.

Unfortunately doctors are terrible when it comes to therapies for depression. There is no 'specialist' like there is, if for example, you had diabetes or a broken leg etc. They just give you anti-depressants and send you on your way. Anti-depressants dont work on the long run - they 'trick' the brain into working properly but don't actually elevate the levels of neurotransmitters in the brain which need to be elevated. Anyone taking anti-deressants will feel better (whether depressed or not depressed) but it doesn't cure the problem.

1) Do a search for neurotrnsmitter therapy and research into it, and start taking 5htp and tyrosine to see what the effect is
2) Read 'the edge effect' by Eric Braverman - this will give you an introduction to the brain and how the neurotransmitters work etc
3) Don't listen to people who tell you to have 'cognitive therapy' or 'psychocounsilling' or anything like that unless your sure it's a situational thing

I would also recomend inositol which is proven to be deficient in people who are having suicidal tendancies.

Also, if your currently on some kind of recreational drugs then that's why your feeling depressed - they blow huge amounts of these neurotransmitters out of the brain at once causing a massive high but then RAPIDLY depleting the brain's stores of them, leaving the brain starving for the things it needs. As I remember it - cocaine will deplete Dopamine. Ectasy will deplete serotonin. Speed will deplete both and so on.

1 Year on after I myself though I would almost certainly be ending it all becuase of the pain, I feel absoloutely fantastic and have wondeful feelings from the simplist things in life.

*IMPORTANT NOTE: do not take 5htp alongside anything else which interacts with the serotonin systm like traditional anti-depressant or St. Johns Wort as this can result in something called 'Serotonin syndrome' which can be potentially fatal*

In fact, one thing I forgot to mention. If your feeling painful in life and you hear other people talking about 'pain' from this or that - they aren't talking about tthe same kind of pain that your going through. When your suicidally depressed it seems like everyone else is going through pain and that life is so dreary but it's not. It's just your perception. Life is wonderful for most people - they just don't stop and appreciate it enough.

Answer 7

Suicide is a permanant solution to a temporary problem. Your problems will pass with time. I would suggest finding a Psychotherapist or Psychologist in your area. Someone you can discuss your problems with. If you are feeling this way you need someone to help you through it that has the training to do so. The sooner you get help, the sooner you will be feeling better and living your life happily.

Answer 8

Wait your turn to die & quit being selfish. It could always be worse. You were put here for a reason & the reason was NOT to kill yourself. God forgives all but suicide is pushing your luck. Call a crisis line if you have to. Check the Yellow pages under mental health services.

Answer 9

i did try once but i failed. i was damn glad of that failure. i just had this thought that what would people say if die because i committed suicide (to say the least that i still considered other people's statement eventhough i'm dead). they would say "what a pitiful sight!"..i could not accept that so i counted my blessings and realized i was blessed with so many things. i began to see the glass as half-full than half-empty. cheer up! God is real and He is good! Many people out there wanted to live but just couldn't because of other people's doings..

Answer 10

Okay, are you kidding me? You are coming to Yahoo! Answers to ask a question which will end your life, the only life you will ever had.

The last question I answered was, "How do I remove underarm wetness," and now I am going to answer a question which will end a person's life!

NO!

Don't even bother. See a doctor, or do it. Either way, I didn't effet it.
