For those of you who have tried this - why did you feel you had no one to talk to? Do you feel you have enough support now to where you'd never do it again?
What can be done, if anything, to prevent this horrible thing from happening?

Suicidal depression is the most painful emotion one can experience I think; it can kill one. Depression is a God given basic emotion that one has to signal one that their thinking and/or environment needs to be changed because it is detrimental to their well being. You get a down, sinking feeling when someone disagrees with you or says something derogatory. You immediately do some little thing or say something to make things better for you. When your habits of thinking become predominately negative or the environment you perceive is not the best for you and you think you can't change it, then the down feeling grows into depression which is self reinforcing. The negativity results in depressed feelings and these in turn result in more negativity etc. It can grow into a suicidal depression.
It seems to me, because depressive negativity is a signal to do something different that that is what one should definitely do to get back into a more positive habit of thinking and/or better environment. Just CHANGE COURSE in thinking, environment or both even if it requires a drastic life altering decision. It is more realistic than the alternative, death by ones own hand.
To change ones habits of thinking may be the hardest to do because of the self-reinforcing nature of deep depression. It may require psychotherapy. Changing ones environment of course will help do away with old habits of thinking.

It's not so much that I felt I had no one to talk to, rather I had talked, and talked and talked and wasn't getting better. At that time I thought "o.k. I've done therapy been in a psch. hospital, that didn't work, so what's left ...suicide". talk about illogical thinking, but when depression rules the mind that's how the thought pattern is. All or nothing, black or white..no in between. what I have now that will prevent suicidal thoughts is medication that keeps me in remission and allows me to have a normal life AND to reach out to people, as I've been there. Never make a major decision while depressed. suicide is only allowed when you are 100% well(and guess what, you'd never think of doing that) never give up, if one med, or one psych isn't right, there are others.

Suicide prevention in a nutshell. don't be gay and don't anticipate others to settle which you would be able to your sins. Suicide is a private dating annoying failed reaction to interpersonal kinfolk and prompt social dynamics. In different words, a stranger bully, can no longer reason a suicide. He/she would not pass over the guy and isn't effected. Suicides are oftentimes to go away an result and to reason a reaction, the place none replaced into given in existence.

What makes you think we felt we had no one to talk to?
Personally, I see the politically correct answer which is ; If they are telling people about their desire to commit suicide, they are reaching out for help and probably are not serious; as a pile of ****. I told every-one and it was only to keep their pain level down. When my Mom ended her life, I wished I had been better prepared. As she had already tried once, it was not a decision without warning. She had lots of support, but needed to go away. She had lots of people to talk to, but made a personal decision.
Why do you consider Suicide or " ending of ones life" as "Horrible"? Why are you even delving into our topic? What interest do you have in this subject?????? Why don't you go away to the "Do-Gooders" topics and leave those of us with personal knowledge, feelings and beliefs alone?????
What can be done.................
ACCEPT US........ WE Have the right to our own life. God gave us that right and you or no one else can take that basic right from us. Freedom . That is our right. Hell yes I will do it. I will not try, I will DO.

Ah yes, i felt like i had noone to talk to, because i felt like noone cared, when you are in teh state, any little thing can make you become deeper into the state, until anything that may make you happy is overcome with your thought on the bad thoughts.
Mainly, it is because it is an easy way out of stress, a quick end and there is nothing you can care about, you can't have regrets, as your dead. And the more you think about it, the more it seems the easy way out.

I've thought about it at one point in my life. It was around the time my girlfriend broke up with me and I didn't see my friends for a long time. I felt like I had no one to talk to. But I just kept trying to get through it. Eventually me and her started to talk again but just as friends and me and my friends hang out more often. I use to think people who had those problems were just weird I NEVER thought it would cross my mind.
