First of, what stopped you? Secondly, why did you want to? Thirdly, do you believe in life after death?

Thought about it often. Hope stopped me. Although now I know someday I will take my life because I want my death to be my choice.

I had suicidal thoughts for a good year or two. Eventually i matured and woke up and looked around me... there are people all over the world with missing limbs and diseases, while i am in perfect health and highly intellegent.
What made me stop thinking about suicide was that i thought to myself "if i killed myself that would be such a disgusting display of selfishness... there are people all over that wish they could have the life that i have, and i want to throw it away because i can not over come personal problems? Pathetic."
As far as the after life, i do not believe in it much. I am still alive not due to fear of hell, but because of the fact that my life is extremely priveledged and extremely lucky! And for the record, i'm attending school full time, work a job for 8 hours a day friday thru sunday, single, drive a junker car, and have not had enough money to buy clothes or school books for about a year now. I'm still VERY lucky.

I've never wanted to commit suicide.. but I have wondered what committing suicide would be like.. probably because my older brother killed himself and I just needed closure and to know more about the whole process. I don't know if I believe in life after death or not.. but I do believe there is more to this world than the physical.

..Yes every day...My family and I were out on a beautiful saturday we left the store and we all were in a terribl accident ...a man in a big truck decided the we were not driving fast enough for him and long story short hit us twice we flew across the median and hit a van full of children and flipped twice...I was thrown out of the vehicle and everyone else was crushed inside ..I tried to pick it up and get them out but I couldnt my son died that day screaming for his mommy and I could do nothing to save him..we were all in intensive care for some time it has been a very hard life for all of us a year has gone by and it still seems like yesterday ...I have a husban and two daughters to take care of ,but I get so deep into the whole sometimes I do not think I can crawl out..so stuck in the tide I can't swim to the shore I get lost in the corners of my own mind ...and then I have to fight the thoughts of dieing..I know it would just be an easy out for me ,but an end to my childrens and husbands life and dreams they would live with my sin forever and I cannot do that to them ..so I dredge on and pray that one day I will live again...

Yes. Not very determined about it, though, as I am afraid of death and I actually prefer life, but I was very depressed. I do hope there is life after death...

You see these questions every so often
My own cowardice stopped me.
Because there seemed to be 0 hope for a good life. It just seemed like it would not improve to anything above terrible.
I don't know anything about it, so I will see it if I get there
