Suicide...

dave's father has gone missing since tuesday. he was depressed. i hope he's visiting a secret girlfriend and being careless and selfish or something...he was very down lately.

 

only once did i ever SERIOUSLY ponder suicide, only once was i ever really tempted. all that did was send me into a such a fury, followed swiftly be a cold-blooded dumping of my ex and systematic starting over of my life.

 

Oh...

 

worked out very well for me.

 

It Just Freaks me Out When People Talk of their Experiances...

Infact Death Freaks me Out in General...

Yet I Have Developed a Strange Fascination...

I Hope you Hear From Dave's Father Soon...


And I Have Attempted Suicie in my Past...But it was Not for Attention...I Did Not Tell Anyone...

 

Suicide Just Doesn't Seem a Natural Way of Thinking...

 

I tried to kill myself when I was 15.....actually I succeded for a few minutes and they brought me back.....life was hard and confusing.....I just wanted it all to end.....at any and all costs.....about 6 mths later I got pregnant and everything changed.....he became my life.....my reason for living.....and no having a baby isn't the answer that's not where I'm going with this.....one thing you can always count on is nothing stays the same.....life is constantly changing.....the thought of commiting suicide today is ludicrus.....I have too much to live for.....tooooo much to do and soooo much I haven't done.......

Gotta take life one day at a time and tackle one problem at a time or it can overwhelm you.......not all people who consider suicide is for attention.......it's usually to make either mental or physical pain stop......sometimes I know it feels like the only way out......maybe even feels like freedom will finally be yours.....you gotta look at yourself as a survivor not a victim......look at what you've overcome....not what's coming at you......time does heal your wounds......the waiting for such retribution can seem unbearable......but you'll make it.......

 

But How is Suicide Natural Thinking?

 

It isn't. It goes against the natural survival instinct.

 

My dad was depressed and talked about suicide. He cried all the time. WE tricked him into the hospital and got him locked up... case closed.

If its serious you cant fuck around with it.

 

It freaks me out as well because I can't imagine that many people out there in so much pain.

The good lord will come to us all in his own good time, there's no reason to hasten our departure.

if you kill yourself you have to come back to the same type of life with same struggles IMO.

 

Your belief?

Wow...that was incredibly deep. I mean it, that was a good point. While I do feel some people are seriously depressed and need help, suicide is not always a bad thing. Take for an example, my boyfriend Daniel's uncle sort of got dealt a pretty shitty hand of cards from early on. Bad luck should have been his middle name. Anyway, he just took what he had and ran with it for years, but when he was in his mid-30's, he hurt his back at work and had to go on disability. His doctor was a sorry S.O.B. and kept running him around and never really helped his paid to keep him coming back. When he tried to change doctors, they refused to relinquish his medical information. So, a bunch of legal ordeals started, and any person who has even had a glimpse at the American legal system knows how long that takes. The pain worsened day by day, and he spent his last few days in excruciating pain on the couch. I guess he had been contemplating suicide for awhile, because he had a gun close, and one evening, he blew his brains out. While his family was saddened by the loss, they all knew of the pain he lived with every day, so they were okay with it.

Sometimes there is a good reason to end it all, but people who are seriously depressed should at least have the chance to get help before they do.

 

Ah HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA, how did I pass this one up?

 

Everyone has to have thought about at atleast once.

I don't think all people just do it for attention. Sometimes people get into shitty situations and don't think there is anyway out of it, so they end it.

My dads best friend commited suicide when i was like 10. It really fucked him up and my family up. He was manic depressive and really far in debt. I guess he just figured he couldn't deal with it anymore and he shot himself. He was divorced and had a son, who is one of my best friends. It's so weird to hang out with him because he reminds me of his dad so much.

Suicide isn't just about attention. It usally is because people just can't stand life anymore or have an illness.

 

I think the big difference is, we KNOW we are going to die, whereas animals are largely ignorant of the fact, or we are unable to know if they DO think about suicide. The knowledge that not only are we going to die, but we can actually do something to decide when that should be is so huge, I guess most people have at least thought about it, if not thought about doing it.

As for it being a cry for attention, a book I read recently likened it to an anilmal in a trap. They react by screaming in fear and anxiety, the side effect of which is to alert others to their plight. If someone attempts suicide it is because it is the only way they can see of dealing with the pain they are suffering. As a side effect, if they do not succeed, people will generally become aware of the situation the person was/is in and may try to do something about it.
