Yes, a couple of times a long time ago when I was diagnosed by the psychiatrist with chronic depression. Took me 3 years of antidepressant medication to overcome it - almost everyday I have to take one of those irritating pills.
How to overcome it?Besides the psychiatrist (qualified doc) who gave me advice, the psychologist at university gave very good tips.
Imagine how you would react if the one closest to your heart committed suicide?? Let's say one of your children, parents, spouse, good friend etc. Then switch roles and imagine how they would react if you committed suicide. You cannot stand the fact that they would be so hurt and upset. If you really love them, you won't kill yourself.

Many, many times. I usually came to the conclusion that drowning myself in the bath would be the most accessible and therefore most likely, though throwing myself off a cliff or high building would be the most efficient. I also considered slitting my wrists or throat, but I'm certain I would chicken out halfway through and then I'd just be put on suicide watch... and what would the point in that be? Hanging has never been an option for me. I've never had access to any sort of firearms. I learned a long time ago that an overdose on medication is an extremely inefficient way of doing it.

I have came back into this section, following up on all those who answered this question. I am glad to hear those who actually had the lousy courage to commit suicide (which I was one of them too many many years ago). True enough, when we fall into depression and feels like we are starting to fail to think properly, it will be good to approache for help. Ya, maybe sometime there are some dude who dont give it a dam but there are still many others who cares.
Dont be surprise that eventually it is our own family members who actually stayed beside us and help us thru the lousy situation, no doubt that they will grumble a lot.

This is a serious question so I am going to give you a serious answer. All people go through hard times at one point or another in their life. It is a way that God has to teach us some lesson that it seems there is no other way we can learn it. So, ask yourself what is the lesson that God wants me to learn? You will find a couple of answers maybe and then you work with that. So, if a person doesn't learn and just checks out then it is akin to dropping out of school. If you want to graduate you will have to go back to school and learn and pass the tests. You are being tested when the thought of suicide comes to you (the devil is tempting you). Tell Satan to get away from you in the name of Jesus then go ahead and go on with your life in the manner that would please God.

It not only crossed my mind I attempted it tried hanging myself even passed out (my mom found me)...and before you ask no I don't regret it since I learned a lesson from it..No matter how many times people tell you it is not worth it they are not the ones with what ever problem you are facing. It is easy to say it is not worth it if you, yourself don't have that problem...My problem was depression and anxiety together a mother always yelling at me a little sister being a _____ and an absent father. All that together was to much to go threw at that point in my life.. I am over it now but I don't regret the lesson I learned from it.

I've thought of it many times over the course of my years... many things prevent me---
one---- what a cowardice way out... what if every time someone had a bad day or a bad year they offed themselves..... fathers - mothers- teachers
two---- how selfish would that be--- think of any person that you have ever loved or any person that has ever loved you.... could you hurt them that badly.... would you inflict a pain on them that they would have to bare forever?
three--- things get worse before they get better----
there is only one person that can change my life... there is only one person that decides what mood I'm going to be in-- what direction my life will fall into....
It sounds harsh-- but the reality is this.....
Give up on the self-pity.
Your life could be worse...
Things always get worse before they get better... this is one of the worse times... after you've reached bottom there's only one other direction.
I won't get into the religious aspects of this... I question much of it myself.... but what if there is a
heaven a hell.... reincarnation.... I can't imagine there being great rewards for taking your own life.
I wish you a lot of luck.. courage and strength.... because it's what you need the most.. Hold your head high..... and figure out what your happiness is.

yes and how did i come over it well i tried to commit suicide by taking 11 sleeping pills and drank a lil bit of hydrogen peroxide and after taking i became a lil bit sadder to think i might be dead the next morning and i prayed to god in my mind to awake me the next morning and he did even though i was really tired i awakened to speak right now,we will all more then likely go through some fu##ed up times but with every dark time you gotta believe there are always beautiful times that will surpass the bad ones

Surround yourself with people who enjoy your company and are overall happy people. It has come across my mind many a times, I was even hospitalized for almost OD'ing on OTC and prescription medications. No fun, just realize, people will miss you...and if you do attempt suicide you could end up in a permanent coma or kidney failure (if the attempt fails)...and if you do die...thats it, theres no going back no second chances.

Honestly, yes it has. I just try to think of all the good things that have happened in my life and that if I were dead I would not have been able to experience any of them. When you're gone..you're gone and there's no coming back. How bad would it be to commit the act and be drifting out of life only to realize you didn't want to go?

Once...and tried it as well...but since i don't know the proper way to commit suicide, my father managed to save me (he's a doctor anyway)...but then when I think back about it, i wondered why I need to waste my life for the sake of a nasty fella??That doesn't make sense at all...Anyhow, the experience made me to be a better and more matured person...and I had learned to live for myself, not for others....
