I mean "commit suicide"!

Sorry about the bad spelling I meant that I took an overdose some years ago!I feel so much shame!

Answer 1

Dood. Relax. Chill. and don't commit suicide. It's very bad. Just move forwad and leave it to the past. Look the good thing's ahead of you. You would disappoint lots of people. :)

Answer 2

Move forward by asking yourself one question. What would have happened to me if the overdose had worked but I did not die? You could have needed up in a nursing home with a severe brain injury and you friends and family asking themselves why you did it and never having an answer. Made you think eh. Try not to dwell on the bad things. Talk to someone if you ever have a problem there will always be someone out there who is sympathetic and understanding. Thinks about the good things in life. Even if you're having a real bad time there must have been times when you have felt good at moments in your life.

Answer 3

I too tried to commit suicide - as a teen. Fifteen years later, I have forgiven myself, and you need to work on doing so too. You made a choice, at a particular time in your life, and you were lucky to come out of it alive. Any person worth knowing will not hold it against you that you tried to commit suicide - depression is as much an illness as a broken leg, only the scars are on the inside. Please be wary of who you tell though: in the past I have made the mistake of telling people about my experiences before enough trust was established, and was ostracised because of it. Clearly they are not people worth knowing, but you need to protect yourself - now and forever. Don't feel ashamed, or self-conscious - everyone has scars, some are just bigger, or more obvious than others. Good luck, I know you're a good person because you feel so deeply.

Answer 4

First of all, suicide is not selfish. It means you have tried so hard and you just are falling apart. I won't pretend to know what it's like because I don't know. But a few months ago, I found out my little sister had cut a time or two. It destroyed me inside, I cried myself to sleep for days and didn't talk or pay attention in school the rest of that week. However I never let her see it because I knew I needed to be strong for her, and I needed to show her that yes I know, but I won't say anything because I know how embarrassed she was. So before I go on talking about my crisis, I just felt like saying, if all these people you've never met care about you, keep pushing. I don't know what it feels like to be that down, but I can promise you that I'll always be telling you in my head to keep on pushing, because you are worth it, and you can fight this. I'll end there before I start bawling. Ps. Have you tried simple over the counter medications such as tums or white foods and ginger ale?

Answer 5

Don't feel ashamed. At least you know what a silly thing you did, and hopefully you won't try it again. You obviously had serious issues at the time, I hope you've sorted them out. Have you had someone to talk to? It can really help.

Unfortunately nobody knows what their or your future holds, but you just need to be positive. Things can only get better. Personally I try to always find positives out of bad situations, even if its just down to something I learned from it.

Don't dwell on things that have happened, theres absolutely nothing you can do to change it. Just look forward to the future, and set about what you can actively do to make positive changes in your life, the smallest thing can have a big knock on effect. Good luck to you.

Answer 6

You must not be ashamed of your past, it has made you who you are today. You should be proud of the fact that you DIDN'T end up going through with it. Have you thought about getting volunteer work with people going through similar things? As you know what a pointless, selfish, stupid thing suicide is, are you not therefore in a perfect position to help others who see it as the only solution?

Remember, if it doesn't kill you it makes you stronger. It didn't kill you and you learnt from it, therefore you won't make that same mistake again....isn't that a positive thing to appreciate? I genuinely wish you luck, It was brave of you to be honest about your experience of suicidal feelings, put the experience to good use and go out there and make a change!

Answer 7

Hay, first things first ignore some of the small minded answers you had before my one. The reason you tried to kill yourself, is it still about? Does it still effect you? Counselling could benefit you, It really would help to talk about the issues of why you tried to kill yourself and the feelings you have about yourself since you tried it. Self worth is very important. I have had a lot of counselling over the years and it really does help to talk about things. They know how to get to the truth of the matter, and that is what the problem usually stems from. Go to see your GP and let them know how you are feeling, you deserve another chance at happiness, most of us do. And when you meet a girl and have feelings for her and she you, she will try her best to understand and be there for you. My husband was and still is. He turned my life around. Go, see your GP hon take the first step and things will look up for you in time. Good luck. xxx

Answer 8

You need to visit a doctor and tell him you tried to commit suicide a long time ago and let him know how you feel. He can not erase the past, but help you get started over again. Jesus Christ forgives and will be glad to give you strength to meet your every new day - just ask Him to forgive and help you. He willl! Read the story of Jesus in St. John. He's real and He loves you!

Answer 9

for some reason u were meant to be around so dont keep looking back walk forward we all do stupid things at some time in our lives but they are only a moment in time and no doubt u can do something very clever to level up the balance
have a good future

Answer 10

There are a lot of people out there who have attempted to commit suicide, many of whom weren't successful (fortunately) and have managed to re-build their lives. Due to this Fact there are lots of support groups, and other sources of help available... Ask your GP for further information, or search on the web for groups in your area.

As for girlfriends etc... Don't worry about that right now, concentrate on yourself for a while and rebuild your confidence and you will find that when you find the right person it won't matter what you did in your past because they will care about the future.....

Hope this helps a little x

Answer 11

Well....I've had the same feelings and have thought about it alot lately....but as a person you have to feel like you owe yourself something and work on those problems that made you think that way. Try to make a list of what's bothering you and run down that list to see how you can improve...counceling may not be a bad solution as well because it sounds to me like you have nobody to talk to about this stuff..

It could be worse and your attempt could have worked and I wouldnt get this chance to tell you that life is to short to worry about things...Im not sure how old you are but I'll tell you this. YOU HAVE EVERYDAY OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE TO CHANGE IT AROUND!!....

hope that helps and take care of yourself cuz our bodies and mind are all we have in this life...
