Yes. I have bipolar disorder and have experienced "manic suicide" episodes. I have learned however, that the issue is actually about some part of my life (illness, relationships, jobs, habits, whatever) that needs to "die", not my physical body literally. That there is some part of my life that is no longer working, and my mind knows this, and sends me the knowledge, but somehow the message would get all jumbled up, so I used to misinterpret it as "me" needing to die.
I am so glad I've been able to figure out the message behind suicidal ideation, and that I never did act on it before. I have not had an episode for several months, and it is due to the realization of what is actually happening. I am "paying attention" to my soul's discontent and trying to heed its guidance, change, let go of, move on to new things that make my life more cohesive and simlpified, to become what I really want it to be, relieving my feeling that life is too "overwhelming." Suicidal ideation is a reaction to one's unwillingness to look deeper at what is specifically making one miserable. Suicidal urges are "generalization" conclusions one cognitively makes (whether realistic or not) about personal, social, physical, and/or mental problems that have been ignored for too long. By looking at oneself with courage, getting specific and honest about personal circumstances, one will see what needs to "die," can work to change that part of their lives, and begin to heal, become whole again. Yes... fear is the culprit that needs to be faced and befriended in order to address the "issues". And to ask for help is a sign of the greatest courage of all. (Not implying that I assume you are suicidal because of your question. Simply getting the message out there to others that may be considering it.). ;)
Yes, I am glad I didn't... to die by misinformation is not the way to go.

I thought that life wasn't worth living at one time but now that my life has readjusted some I'm glad that I didn't quit. Having my little dog Babe has changed my attitude about going on in this world. She gives me unconditional love and that is what I need right now.

No. B/c I used say that people have much harder times and think about how many people would be hurt. Even your pet goldy (fish) would bbe like where are u. And even not I say I'm the only one who can make me happy fill me w/love. You gotta love yorself 1st before anyone else and before you can love anyone else. I am happy b/c I remember all of these things.

I tried to hang myself with blankets, but they came undone and I fell to the ground. I wish it worked but it made me feel even worse when I was still alive. This probably sounds pathetic but I got the idea from Britney Spears.

to the person that just said get help...
she isn't seeing that's the way she's feeling, she asked a simple question and I believe most people would have at least considered suicide

Yes, but never tried hard enough. As to my happiness that I didn't, depends on the day.
