I almost did it yesterday. It hurts. Depression. Being hopeless. Luckily for me.... I have people who truly care and I'm sure they care.
Manic depression can be particularly dangerous because the immense lows are punctuated by dizzying highs where for a brief instant the sufferer believes that everything is ok when in fact the next emotional crash looms right on the horizon.... and when all the perfect ideals from the "high" go to pieces the low can be characterized by deep discouragement and the notion that it's just not worth it any more. It's almost as painful to watch as it is to experience.
I think this is the sole best reason not to kill yourself, because even if your life is depressing it will end someday anyway. So why not live life for as long as possible (even if it is depressing.. because you don't have to be happy to find life interesting.. artists for example create some of their best works of art when in their most dramatic states of mind) seeing as youve got the whole of eternity to find out what death is like and only a limited number of days to expereince the mystery of life.
I think a lot of people think about it constantly, but just a few actually try , not all of them succed of course..because we are natural survivors.. they say that if u try once u'll keep trying until u get away with it. I have thought about it, actually I think about it all the time, I tried once, not very pleasant so,I might try a less painfull way next time if I ever try again. I fight suicidal feelings everyday, therapy is working for me right now so..my urges are in a really low level right now. so get help if u need it, dont be selfish..many will suffer and will blame themselves if u do it. Peace everyone
My best friend and first real love killed himself. It was 7 years ago and I'm still not over it. Never will totally but anyways that's my main reason when I have no other reason not to do it. And I know he would have taken it back if he could if he knew how I felt still.... anyways congrats on the therapy.... im calling one today actually. I hope it helps me.
I am not depressed or anything, but I have thought about suicide. However, I am too much of a coward to actually do it. I dont really care if I die, I d just feel sorry for my family.
I'm grossed out by the very thought, so I would never do it. When I was younger, I thought about it, maybe twice. I won't get into what my feelings are about it, because there are a lot of people on here who feel it's perfectly acceptable, and I don't want to argue about how absolutely wrong that feels to me... Whatever. The subject pisses me off. I don't know why I responded... Carry on.
