I have not only thought of it but attempted it at about the age of 33. I think almost everyone has thought of it at some point in their life because depression is a basic emotion and if allowed to become a habit can kill. You can't get rid of the emotion but you can do something about it if it becomes chronic, Depression, in my opinion is a God given signal that something is wrong with your thoughts, habits or environment and you need to change course. It evolved to protect you so is a positive emotion. (God, in my opinion authored and guides evolution). I want to recommend an old book.

Just a little add-on, anyone who is CURRENTLY THINKING ABOUT SUICIDE should seek emergency medical help. Call 911 or your local emergency number(UK residents call 999) . You can also call your local crisis line (look in the front of your phone book) or call the national suicide hotline(US only) at: 1-800-SUICIDE.
To answer your question, I've attempted 3 times. All were by over dose. I can't keep track of how many times I've thought about it, planned for it, set a date then stopped there. Mostly because when I've set the date, I'm at least somewhat sane and plan for 2 weeks in the future. By that time, I normally have come to my senses and talked to someone about it.
Also, anyone saying suicide is selfish, are wrong. People who commit suicide are thinking of others (along the lines of "people think of me as a burden" "I take things other people could use"). However, people thinking about suicide don't realize the negative impact it has on people left behind. 8 months (and 2 days) ago, a good friend of mine commited suicide. I know what it's like to be in that frame of mind, and what she was thinking, I never knew how hard it would be to actually deal with a loss. I know that she was thinking that the world would be "better off without me" and that she couldn't comprehend the negative impact it would have. I don't blame her for her actions, I only wish I could've saved her.

I battle with suicidal thoughts on a daily basis. It's been like this since I was 13-14yrs old I'm 34 yrs old now. Back in 2003-2004 I noticed I didn't think about it. Anyways, I think, I plan, I try,...I shouldn't be here with all the times I've tried.
Something wants me here!

About 3 yrs ago. I was going to drive off a embankment but couldn't because of the trees. Right there and then I knew it was bad. But as you can see I'm still here by the grace of god.
I still cringe at what I almost did.

i went far enough to end up in a coma for 2 weeks and have permanent side effects.and my parents were told that i would not survive...i used to get angry when people would say suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem but they were right
there is always a way for life to get better

I'm being treated for clinical depression.
I hated the way that suicidal thoughts would pop into my head.
The closest I came was touching my shotgun, but I wouldn't let myself pick it up.

I've thought so many times, then think about what would I miss out on and such. I get to the point where I plan out everything.

I keep a knife in my bedroom. Whenever I'm mad, i just take it out and look at it. It makes me feel better :).
