STONER, if you do that, just make sure you don't hold me responsible, okay?

Answer 1

Yes I have thought of committing suicide but I thought what thats the point? Your willing to kill your own life and you havent even began to live it.

Answer 2

I thought of it a couple of times but then i thought about all the people that i would hurt.Not just myself. And that I could prove everyone wrong by keeping on and working towards whats bugging me and giving me thoughts about suicide.. Another way I can avoid thoughts of suicide is doing social things like maybe join a volleyball team.. If u are not a social person then create an individual hobby or with just one more person.Now to this day i am still in social groups and they help keep me busy so i don't have any time to think of all the bad things in my life...Anyway, I hope i helped and u just remember there is no need to commit suicide when god thinks ur suffering really bad and u cant handle it then he will take u himself...

Answer 3

Yes, I thought about it too many times, and if I hadn't gotten help, I probably would have done it. The first time the thought crossed my mind, I thought "Oh, I could never do that to my family. The second time the thought crossed my mind, I thought "Oh, I could never do that to my family because if they knew it was intentional it would be heartbreaking to them. The process went on but each time the thought crossed my mind, I felt like I was figuring out "solutions" to the obstacles that were keeping me alive. One day, I realized that I had tried everything to fix my depression - except for seeing a psychiatrist and taking meds. I imagined that there was some huge stigma to doing those things (by the way there isn't and almost no one knows I do them) but I realized that if I didn't see one I wouldn't be alive long enough to worry about the stigma. The first time I saw the dr., it was like a huge cloud lifted off my soul and my mood. I took a few pills, talked to him about the problems that caused me to get depressed and got better. I am so glad I got help, and my only regret is that I wasted so many years being depressed before I did. To anyone else out there on the edge, trust me, it gets better if you get help and no, I am not living in an insane asylum or anything and I have a busy professional well paying job, a family, a home, a nice car, etc. so being depressed doesn't make you a loser. Not getting help for it does.

Answer 4

I’ve thought about it and applied actions to those thoughts shortly after being raped by two family members. Truthfully, I should’ve been dead or at least severely brain damaged. The doctors told me it was a miracle I had survived and I went to a facility transported from the hospital, to be evaluated. I spent almost a month in there and was diagnosed as bi-polar, more on the manic side and what is known as a rapid recycler. After surviving my attempt, having the doctor tell me it was a miracle to have survived, to have pulled through my semi-comatose state, (I took over 200 pills and my body had already absorbed them by the time I was found and rushed to the hospital…so there was nothing to pump, it was in fates hands) it changed my way of thinking and I began to appreciate all the more the things I had once taken for granted. Being an un-medicated manic depressive (when you’re a rapid recycler your depression often worsens with medication and every medication I’ve tried has made my depression worse) certain thoughts still do enter my mind, but I will never allow myself to become a selfish individual and hurt those who care about and love me, simply because I was looking for a permanent solution to a temporary problem. In those moments when I think things I shouldn’t be thinking, I think of my best friend who happens to be the love of my life and the promise I made to him 3 yrs. ago when I attempted to take my life. I will never break that promise, he’s what pulls me through.

Answer 5

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. That being said yes I thought about suicide one time when I was in Iraq in the middle of the war during the invasion it is sad but true I mean you are surrounded by death everyday enemy your friends and family falling apart or continuing their lives in the states and you just feel the dead ones are the lucky ones and sometimes you want to join them. However you always have HOPE that things get better that if they do get worse that they can only go up and you cope and deal with it day by day its not a an easy thing but things do get better and life goes on and so do you :)

Answer 6

yes, many time when I was younger. I was on drugs bad and drank bad. I used to drink a 6 pack on my way to work every morning and it was only a 1/2 hour drive. I was smoking some heavy things too, hanging out with drug dealers all of the time, was a mess and then there was some deaths amongst my friends, drug related as well. I just woke up one day, and was tired of coming down, met someone who also has these problems. We packed up and moved 500 miles away and cleaned our lives up, it all stopped. Today we're healthy, have our own family, and buying a home. But back in the day, I really wanted to die. Yeah, I was in a black part of my life for many years and it was a terrible feeling.

Answer 7

What stopped me?????? What a question. I woke up strapped down to a hospital bed. I was breathing thru a respirator. I had a catheter up my Penis. I had IV lines in each arm. But yet, I was alive. Modern Medical Science had stopped me. I said all the right things and got discharged from the hospital. Now that I know better, I am preparing thoroughly for my death. The first time I just took alot of pills. Soon, I will go away with dignity and expertise. They will not stop me again. It is my right and I will prevail.

Answer 8

I've thought about it several times. Once I actually had my ex pick up my son and told him what I planned. I wrote letters to everyone in my family. By the time I finished I'd cried so much I guess I started feeling better and thinking straight cuz I realized I could never do that to my mother or my son and that no matter how bad things were, I was a survivor and would get through it.

Answer 9

I have never actually though about truly committing suicide. Almost everyone will think it hypothetical or think wow, what if I ever did, how would it affect other people. My life hasn't always been great but i have NEVER thought about truly committing suicide. I mean how would my family feel, my friends. Then again maybe that's why i have never thought about it. I have a family supporting and great family and friends.

Answer 10

Yes I thought of it when I found out my fiancee was cheating on me after dating for 10 yrs. I felt that I would never meet anyone as good as him and that things that I had planned for my life were over. What stopped me was thinking about my family. How would my mother and father feel etc.. How could I put them through that???

Now that I am 5 yrs older, I think of all the things that I would have missed. I am worth a lot more than wasting my life on some loser!
