Have you ever been in a position in life where you don't feel like living anymore?
 
No. Never once. Those who do are battling some sort of inner demon or life obstacle that are slowly whittling away at their will to continue. There's no obstacle that can't be overcome. Address the issue and assess how it's negatively impacting you. Determine whether or not you want this ordeal to engulf you, the answer should be no. Map out a plan on how to get over this life hurdle, but more importantly, understand that the process may not be a quick fix. Big problems rarely are. It may take days, weeks, months, etc. Keep track of your progress, analyze how you were doing the day, week, month before. How much are you progressing? Many lose sight that they are improving because they don't see the positives. So you thought about suicide today, but did you commit? No? Well that's a positive. And if you think about it again tomorrow? That's negative, right? Pessimism will tell you it is. On the other side of the coin you're one more day removed from the first time you thought about it. Plus you still haven't committed yet, obviously, because you're still alive. So really you've defeated suicide twice in two days. Congratulations, you're undefeated against death. That's positive!

I know this is long winded and it sounds cliche, but focus on all the positive things going around you and you'll make it through. It may be hard to spot at times but there is good going on in everyone's life. I hope it helps, keep your head up OP!
 
Thought about it, sure... Seriously think about it, Naw...

And I don't consider suicide the easy way.... It takes a lot of balls to do it imo...
 
I've attempted suicide once.

People who say suicide is the easy way out will never understand what it feels like to go through major clinical depression.

Luckily I didn't succeed and I feel blessed to be here because I've come to love my life no matter how ****** it can get.
 
More like I'd rather have not existed.

Killing myself would probably suck
 
Naw bruh. Life is good. And when life is bad. It just makes the good times better
 
I've attempted once.

During the lowest part of my life, I never ever thought I'd be where I am right now. As cliche as it sounds, **** does get better. Not magically, but things improve over time.

Very smart assessment but personally. I think some are wired(genetically or upbringing) differently than others and instinctively think negatively. Some find it hard to think of the light of the end of the road and are use to concluding situations in a negative manner and it's hard to steer people like that towards a positive path(if you can). So I almost always empathize with people who kill themselves because I personally know people who react to trauma negatively which makes me wonder what's their limit.
 
I personally have never thought about it....

But I don't judge people who do. Life can be so cruel, so depressing at times, there's only so much a person can take.

I just hope for those who think about it. Just realize that it can only get better from your current state.

Goodluck and prayers to anyone that's going through this.
 
I've only thought about how does it feel mentally to get drove to that point

Personally afraid of death because of me being unsure about what's on the other side. So its interesting that some folks give no damns about meeting it.


But no I haven't thought about killing myself. Even through the bs I still enjoy life

I wouldnt say I've thought about it, in the sense of actually giving it some time to internalize, but the thought has certainly crept into my frontal lobe. Prior to undergoing depression, I never fathomed how people could perform such a heinous act, but afterwards I definitely have more empathy for the plight of the fallen soldier. Depression can be an absolutely debilitating thing, such that you completely lose identity of yourself, so when people resort to those levels of extreme as a manner of solving their problem, it isn't necessarily them that is making the decision, but rather a facade of sorts. I think the important thing is to have incredible people around you, who constantly remind you of who you are and your inner strength to overcome the temporary state of life turmoil. But also know that some people aren't blessed with these caliber of human interactions, such that they might not necessarily have someone with whom to confide.
 
I think about it all of the time but have never attempted it. I go through these emotions every time I think about my dad passing (he passed in a house explosion). He was taken from me out of nowhere , and I didn't see him for 2 years before he passed and I never made an attempt to see him. I never forgave him for not being in my childhood. I always thought I had more time and that I was going to buck up and do it eventually but he passed. He loved me with everything he had even though he wasn't much of a father. He passed in the explosion in Minneapolis last New Years eve. I don't talk to ANYONE about this, just had a bad dream about it and woke up really early to see this post....



Edit: when you think about ending it all just remember you might be reincarnated as a ****** bug or a rat. Be greatful you're a human with the world at your disposal. Out of trillions of living organisms we are humans. We can do anything in this world, remember that

Everyday, always think about letting the xan and liquor combo do the job. Never have the heart though.
 
I've thought about suicide many times...

Never wanted to commit suicide personally, my thoughts have always been questions about why suicide occurs..
 
I've thought about it. Probably more than I should, but if I'm being completely honest, I'll never go through with it because of what it would do to my family, specifically my mother.

I attempted it once back when I was 19. The ambulance came and alerted my family of what happened (I tried to run my car off of a cliff). My mom showed up and I was just conscious enough to hear her screaming in agony. I remember feeling like absolute **** when I'd woken up to see all of them at the hospital with me. I'd never put my family through that again.

Like I said, I always think about it, but will never follow through it. That was 7 years ago and since then, I've come to appreciate my life much more. Sure there are tremendous highs and unthinkable lows, but I roll with the punches and do what I can to make today better than the day before.

I strongly disagree with people that call it "the easy way out". I know what it's like to be at such odds with life that ending it all seems like one's only choice. It is the most selfish act a person can ever go through with, but I believe it takes a certain courage to actually go through with it. Hell, I was more frightened than anything when I tried. Not because I was afraid of what waited beyond the veil, or what the crash would feel like, or how much it would hurt. It was because I was afraid that I would actually succeed in ending my life and not experiencing what it had in store for me. Good or bad. I remember wanting to rewind the clock and stopping myself from getting behind the wheel. The realization that I wouldn't be able to do that, and that death was inevitable spooked the hell out of me. That experience still stands as the most scariest thing I've ever went through. I say that to say that those who look death in the face and take complete control of their own fates are not as cowardly as the world makes them out to be. Selfish, absolutely. But not cowardly. I'm by no means endorsing it, or saying it's more preferable than enduring, but I do understand why and how one gets to that point.
 
In sixth grade, I thought I had failed my exams and won't proceed to the seventh grade. So whilst sitting home waiting for pops to come home with my results, I thought about going to the beach and drowning 
I actually got good results

When my family tried to indoctrinate me as a Christian I told them I wanted to kill myself so I could see God since that seemed like the only way :lol:

Went from Christian to agnostic when I was old enough and smart enough to realize it was for the birds. 4th grade.

Other than that, nah. I'll leave when I've completed what I set out to do.
 
Tried to commit suicide once, never doing that again. I almost died!
But seriously, I'm pretty sure the thought has crossed everyone's mind once. Never actually considered it tho. I got really depressed when i found out i had scoliosis, had to stop playing football. Ended up not even going to college since i couldn't play. 21 now, wish i started school but oh well. I will soon. Stopped growing so my curve didn't get to much worse. Didn't have to have that horrible surgery so I'm grateful. Things really do get better fam. :smokin
 
thought about it but never considered it... the scary thing about suicide is what if you attempt it but you dont die then you have to live with that the rest of your life... say you shoot yourself in the head but you dont die thats even worse imo... but i always tell myself life can never be that bad where i have to off myself..
 
Nope. But understand why individuals choose that path. Understanding self worth can be hard. If you can see that others do and can care for you then theres always a way back
 
No, but I have obsessed over the potential and non-potential infinite consolidation of death and its mathematical certainty
 
The troubling element about suicide is to free yourself from pain, you must harm your family in the process of death.

For those with friends battling suicidal thoughts, supposedly the danger point is when that individual has determined a method to follow through.
 
Yes. Anytime I start going through a slump I tell myself "you miss 100 percent of the shots you never take". I just feel like death is so finite . There is so much uncertainty of what happens after death it just doesn't seem worth it.
Lately though I feel like I'm slowly overcoming depression. I got a new job that I really like and it has certainly better than the stress levels I had at my old job. Although rumors are starting up saying we might be downsizing :smh:
