The last time, situational circumstances overwhelmed me and I died, but the expert Emergency Services revived me. I still know I need to end my life here on earth. Any stories as to when the time was right for you, but you were robbed from the chance as I was???

Suicide, why do you want to do that ? Life is tough, full of challenges, have you yet discovered your true purpose here on earth ? if you have not, that may be the cause of your misery.
Have you discovered who you are ? your strengths, weaknesses, who is Sunlover ? get a hold of yourself, start loving being alive, who you are, then loving life! I hope you find real peace soon. You are very troubled.

I know how you feel. Believe me. For a really long time I felt like I just simply didn't belong in this world. I felt like I think, act, feel, differently than anyone else. And that's probably still true. I also felt like I would never be happy as long as I was alive. I tried to end my life multiple times. I never came so close as to have an EMR revive me. Usually just the phone would ring or my mom would walk in, something silly like that. But now, after overcoming so many things like depression, dropping out of college (when I had everything in the world ahead of me and was doing well except for "not fitting in", a serious substance abuse problem, I'm really glad that I'm still around here. The thing with suicide, is that it's so....permanent. I know that sounds silly, but I'm serious. YOu might feel like dying now (or even a year from now) but you really just need to change the way think and get a new outlook on life. There are times when life will suck, that's just reality. But hang in there. If in 25 years from now you still feel like this, then go ahead and jump off a 10 story building. But seriously, don't do it just yet.

We, you and I, are only slightly different. I have been walking in your shoes since 1986. The thing I know that you don't is; neither of us wants to die. We both want to quit hurting.
The time to apply a permanent solution to your situation is when all the others fail.
I have been through the counseling, and shrink route complete with a pharmacy full of drugs. It only helped those around me and made me into an accomplished liar. I spent years looking at high places trying to decide if it would do the job or just hurt me very badly.
I have not been able to fix myself but I did learn what broke me and why I am still broke. You would be amazed at how much that helps. Right now I am drug free and the same nasty b@st@rd I was before the Dr's tried to fix me.
If you can learn the "WHY" of your situation it will go along ways to helping you cope. At least you'll know why you hurt and that is a big big step, take it from.

Why not give a chance to life to end itself on its own?
Any time for suicide is a bad time.As u have not created ur life u have no right over ending it.
What may seem overwhelming circumstances to u may temporarily unbalance u.Take a peek at the refugee camps in Darfur,Lebanon, the unending mayhem in Iraq,Afghanistan,the bombings in Bali,Bombay,London,Madrid and Glasgow....Life goes on!
Meanwhile do all the good things u always wanted to do but could not or did not.
Watch a new day begin, visit an hospice,help an unknown person,volunteer time in a place of need,see little children play at the sea side,a cat protecting its kittens,the list is endless..
One fine day u will realize that one life is really too short and u have so many good things to do...

The time is right when it works.
In most cases the continues discussion of "when and how" is a stall tactic. They want help.
If you are truley ready to leave this earth you will just do it. You will find a place that nobody can find you for a couple days, you make sure whatever "way" you choose actually works so you aren't dying over a couple days time.
Think about if you really want to do this, what and who will be affected, if you care. Will you be leaving burdons, financial or otherwise for others? Remeber, someone will have to be responsible for what you leave behind!
Get help, good luck!

the right time is when you have found peace with yourself here on earth before you can go anywhere else. If you have demons they will follow you no matter where you go. So it comes down to asking for help and facing the crap...... Ive also asked when the right time is and some days I see how nice everything can be and I feel ashamed for wanting to die because then i would have missed out. Reach out Dave, there are a lot of us out there. We are all trying to get through.

Dear Dave, the same thing happened to me. EMS saved my life and I ended up in intensive care and then in a mental hospital. While hospitalized I was "forced " to take anti-depressants. My story can be found on Yahoo search under "The Last Temptation of George Petrie". When I woke up in the hospital I was very angry. I planned so carefully and I failed. When I got out of the mental hospital I had started to feel stronger. The medication was actually working. Slowly I came back, stronger and stronger. I went to court and got back most of what I had lost. I also got back my sanity and my life and I am happier today than I have ever been. I'm really happy that I failed to end my life. best wishes to you

There is nothing worse then feeling so low that you want to end it all.I still feel that way once in a great while.I have tried more then once only to fail.Now I know it's easy to die and throw it all away the hard part is living and I may not feel like I want to live all the time.I have to believe that there is a reason i'm still here and that reason maybe be something wonderful.I have to have hope even when i'm crying my eyes out I try and hang in there.Please try and hang in there it's not worth it.I wish I could give you some of my hope.

Never... never is the right time for suicide.
Please get help.
Things can always turn around. I have been suicidal in my past, and I got through it with help. Now I am quite happy and have a family - 2 kids, a husband, and even a dog.
Never NEVER give up. Life is too important. It may have it's crappy times, but everything is a cycle. Once you end it... that's it, it's over.
"Pain is temporary, quitting lasts forever" - Lance Armstrong.
I know there is nothing any person on this site can type to you in their free time that will make you change your mind about wanting to end your life.
So please, please get some help. Ending your life is not the answer. It is just the coward's escape.

Never is the right time to commit suicide. I think you are reaching out for help and I don't think you are going to get what you are looking for here. Call a crisis hot-line and talk to someone. I work for a mental health center and I can tell you the ones that call us and get help turn out to be fairly happy and go on with their lives. The ones that really want to die, we don't ever hear from they just die. So since you are reaching out for help my suggestion is to look in the phone book and find the crisis hot-line and give them a call. Good luck and God bless
