Answer 1

It is almost impossible to end your life. Ask someone who has tried it. Everyone has anti-suicide programing.

Answer 2

I used to live under the preconceived notion that everyone hated their life so much at some point, that they contemplated suicide. However, I discovered that this is NOT rational thinking.

I have tried a few times to take my own life. The last attempt was almost 2 years ago. I actually purchased a gun and planned on blowing my brains out. I still don't know why, but one morning, I got up and begged my husband to take me to the hospital or he would come home and find me dead. I did end up going to the hospital and then voluntarily committed myself to a psychiatric hospital for 1 month. It was the best thing I ever did for myself. I have a ton of mental illness issues and at least now I have routine counseling and medication to help me deal with it.

If you really feel that you can barely hang on, then you need to speak with someone immediately. Don't listen to people that tell you that thoughts of suicide are "normal" (I hate the word Normal!"). It isn't OK to think of killing yourself or causing yourself bodily harm.

Hi,

I just wanted to respond to you. Suicide is like standing in a circle with everyone you love standing around you and your holding a grenade and pulling the pin. I understand how you feel. I have been there and am there at times. Hang in there! Ask for help and even though you feel that way you don't have to kill yourself. Just say I feel this way but I won't make any decisions about it that you will try to ride it through and talk to someone about it. Take is a day at a time or a minute at a time. Do whatever you have to, to hang on!! Just show up for life. We can to it together. You can't do this alone talk to someone!! Ask god or a higher power for help. I read a book will in a hospital for depression it is called Suicide the forever decision by Paul Quinet. I may have spelled his last name wrong. Check it out it help save my life. I am still here and showing up for life. I hope you do too.

Answer 4

I wanted to respond to your question. I am employed at a Crisis Center in Oklahoma. As a matter of fact, I am there now. I have no clue on what is going on in your life, but you really do need to ask for help before you do something that you might regret later. I mean, if you were to try to commit suicide, who is to say that you will be successful? What if you are in more pain that what you are in now or that you will have to live like a vegetable for the rest of your life. Go to someone and talk to them. There are lot of help lines out there that you can call someone that you dont know so that they wont be able to judge you and let them know how your feeling. They will be able to lead you in the right direction.

Answer 5

I have. I've regretted it every day since, because when you finally do become happy (yes, time heals all wounds), only then can you really see why suicide is an ugly, horrible thing.

I still regret it, I see now that my thoughts were wrong when I attempted it and I'm very ashamed of it.

Real peace is happiness, not death. Death is tragic and is in no way peaceful. You just think it's peaceful because of the way you imagine it in your mind. The reality of death is cold and ugly, and definitely not how the modern person imagines it.

You should work towards being happy; it's definitely never out of reach. I learned my lesson, please don't go down the ugly road I did.

Answer 6

Peace....purely mythical. Peace doesn't come in death, believe me. I always tell my kids that if they ever came to that point in life that they didn't want to live anymore, either talk about it to someone or take a nap or something. That feeling will change. You're just going through a period in your life that makes you feel like nothing is worth the energy anymore. I feel like that all the time. Do something, get out, even if it's walking or browsing shops. Let your mind get a breath of air and remind you that life isn't as gray as it seems.

Answer 7

EVERYONE gets frustrated like that at times. We have to go through the bad times in order to truly appreciate the goo times. You may be experienceing this in order to help yourself, a friend, a family member, or even your own child cope with their problems one day. Every problem has a purpose. You may not realize it right now, but there is a reason for it.

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Your problem may not seem temporary now, but eventually you will be in a better situation. Why give up all of the good times ahead of you because of this bad time now? Just figure that you are paying your dues for all of the good times you will have in the future!! NEVER GIVE UP-- YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU WILL MISS OUT ON!!

Answer 8

hang on because you were put on this earth for a reason! getting to experience a chance in life is great! u sound lonely, shy or jealous to be honest with you! i have a cousin who is going through a lot in this point of her life and also has had thoughts of ending her life, which i think it is to make other human-beings feel sorrow for her & how her life is right at this point which if not great! you can do anything in this world you want to! find out who u are & decide on how u want to finish living your wonderful life! if u are having a bad experience in life so far, its always good to move away for fresh start or hang out with different people! trust me you are blessed!

Answer 9

Yes I have, not how you are talking, just by doing stupid things.

However by ending ones own life this is a selfish act and I do not believe in doing this to the others around me.

Think of others, before yourself.

Peace is the opposite of War, how can we have peace if we are dead......

Answer 10

pamma is right,do something for someone else-if you can . mental illness is horrible, see a doctor. if it doesn`t stop.think of the lives you would hurt-if you did. people do not feel sorry for people who kill themselves. they do wish,they could have done something.they are really mad at them.-that`s the first stage of grief anyway,but it does`nt go away if someone kills themselves. this will feling will go away- take pamma`s advice.i have been thru this & understand how you feel, but your best days may just be around the corner-mine were- good luck
