Have you ever thought about commiting suicide?

Question

I have but i was never actually going to do it. I just thought about it =)

Answer 1

Yes, I have twice. Once when I was about 8 years old, and another time when I was about 10. I felt so convicted about something really bad that I said, and I just wanted to kill myself. But I never was actually going to do it – it was just that I wanted to do it so bad, but I’m sure I would have never been able to have the guts to do it. And what more…what if something worse happens after we die? Some ppl say that it just ends right there and there, but who knows? That might not be true, so at least living on earth is better than presuming that after death everything’s gone when it might not happen as we think. Good question! :)

Answer 2

Yes and I actually took an overdose a few years ago now, but I am so glad that that the overdose did not work, as I am really happy with the person that I am now, even though at the time I wrongly thought that it was the only way out, but life is too short as it is and I did not think about any of my family and friends who would have been left behind, how they would have felt about it and how upset they would have been, it was all about me at the time which of course was being very selfish. In my opinion, it really is not worth thinking about even if you are feeling really down, there are always people we can talk to, (even if we don't think that there are) and things will always turn out brighter for us all,believe me!

Answer 3

Yeah

I used to want to drive my car off the highway. id be driving along crying because i was tired of life and i thought that this would be an easy way to go..

but then i think that what if i dont die and am a vegetable for the rest of my life or if i accidently hurt someone else...

Im feeling better about things at the moment though

Answer 4

Unfortunately yes, thought about it and tried it twice. (obviousley didn't succeed as I'm still here).

My first was 6 years ago and I slashed my arms deeply from elbow to wrist. Lot of blood and I passed out but was found by my partner. My second was about 6 months later and I took a major overdose of my medication. Almost did the trick but again was found, this time by my Mother.

I'm glad now that neither worked, although I still suffer from major depressive episodes I now have my beautiful 3 year old twin daughters who keep me going when times get hard.

Answer 5

Yes love I have! Suicide is Never the answer! It is a forever solution to a temporary problem! It leaves the survivors devastated and solves nothing!

Answer 6

Honestly, I'm sure everyone has before.
I use to think about it alot, but never attempted. I pretty much over that now, but still have those thoughts sometimes. My life hasnt been exactly easy, but it could be a whole lot worse.

I saw your Q, and was about to come on here and kill you to prevent you from killing yourself!
Its great that you held on, and are over that now (hopefully)

Answer 7

I think there are a great deal of people who do at some time or another, but few get further than a passing thought of it.

Answer 8

Honestly, yes. I've even thought of it recently, but, there's nothing like a walk through a children's cancer ward to bring things into perspective. I may have a tough life right now ... but, it's nothing in comparison to all those little ones, who have barely begun living ... yet, they are staring death in the face. :(

Answer 9

I was so sad in 81 that I did. I was hurt on the job and was all most blind. 4 years of my life I lost cause of it. I am gald I did not do it now. I see good again now. Life is sweet

Answer 10

No, I haven't .

But, once i was so much depressed:(, but i never thought of committing suicide, i don't want to betray my parents!:_)
