Suicide

This might be a hard question to answer if your answer is yes, but I really want to know if there are more... So:
Have you ever tried to commit suicide?

If u voted, No, why should someone do that, then you are really ignorent i think

Iv been through depressions, and iv had two of my friends thinking seriously about it. But i could never comitte suiside, and i tell my friend, that, its such a stupid waste of life.. and how selfish it is.

don't get me started on death, since my father died iv been thinking about it so much

They way that we can throw away his belongins..what was it all for, what was life.. oh don't get me started

I tried suicide myself once... Saved in time by my best friend...
By the way, it is really selfish... You leave all the other people behind crying cause you didn't want to live anymore...

Well Indi, i hope that you are in a better place with yourself now

I donno, using suiside as "a way out" is wrong. We only half one life (assuming that we don't get reincarnated and that we don't remember) and we should live it to its full. Anything can be changed if we want it bad enough.

Death is deep, anyone out there wanting to discuss it sometime?

Not anything can be changed...
For example:
I'm missing a piece of a muscle in my left brest, so I will never be able to lift something heavy, cause I can only lift it with my right arm... There's nothing they can do about it...
I'm getting blind, and I'll have to live with a blindmans dog, write in Braille and play games with the information from my ears... There's nothing they can do about it...
The one half of my body (for example my arm, brest, fingers and even my leg a tiny bit) is smaller than the other half... There's nothing they can do about it...

As you can see, I'm having a lot of problems... Not that I'm suffering, cause I'll let someone else lift the loads, I'm the 3rd best BLIND GAMER in Holland and I don't have any trouble with walking or so... But it's annoying when you go to the hospital... You're some kind of miracle and it takes you hours cause all the doctors want to see you...

Well i think your're very brave

Sarcasm?

You have an incredible strength.

Luckily I have a very nice sister (3 years older)...
She helps me if I need to carry something heavy and she tells me what you all have posted when I'm back from an operation (usually I can't see 2 days after an operation, and can't read more than 5 words for like 5 days after an operation)

If I may ask you...but what's the problem with your eyes?
Medicine has taken giant steps...

I know, but I have a disease (don't know the english word) but it's not tunnelview...
It's just that I see less and less good every day...
You know, like the percentage you still need to download... It starts at 100%, but after a while it goes lower, till 90% and than till 80%, and than some BIG files, so it's a very long while to get to 70%, but then some shorties, so it's at 40% very quick...
This is an example, so it's not that way with me... My view dropped from 70% to 50% in a MONTH, and then to 45% in 2 years... But now it's at 40% in just half a year... (that's one eye, other is about 25% better)

Yes, once [8%] 2 votes
Who else voted that (except for me)

By the way, it is really selfish...

This is one of the most ignorant things that can be said. I hear it all the time, "suicide is selfish", and if you honestly think that then YOU must be a very selfish person. It's actually sick that you would rather have someone live through pain their entire lives so you don't have to mourn their loss for a short while. That's one of the most selfish things I have heard of.

I donno, using suiside as "a way out" is wrong.

I strongly disagree. Suicide is the perfect "way out". Just because something may be incredibly depressing and f*cked up to think about doesn't mean it might overall be the more favorable decision. I am ALL for suicide, for one reason only: Everyone lives, then they die and cease to exist. If that's true then life is completely meaningless, due to the fact that every single human life starts then ends permanently shortly after.

Since we all are going to die, why not just terminate human existence forever? That sounds ideal to me.

If you're wondering why I haven't committed suicide myself, there are two reasons; one is that I have an insane fear of attempting suicide. I will most likely never seriously contemplate suicide due to my fear of it. The other reason is that I am perfectly happy in this ultimately meaningless world. I have no problem living my entire life, then dying whenever my time comes.

yes Medicine has taken big steps but it can only do so much, look at it and you will see that its very very difficult to find out the diffrences in some, most just take away pain or slow down illnesses.

suicide is a stupid thing and i did try it once but was saved by a friend, after that i stuck close to my friend and family who helped me throught my depression and i now have a brillient outlook on life and what im making of it.
at the time it seemed like the right thing to do to rid myself of the burden of others and of myself but everyting can be sorted out and fixed to where you can be happy and ive done that so im very happy at the moment with myself and with the world as it stands and im moving on and looking ahed to my future and what i can achive.

Not everything can be sorted out, but I agree that everything can be accepted, the hardest part is the time it takes to accept...

I understood that it's a progressive illness...

I saw a movie called "The Bridge" the other day about people who jumped off the Golden Gate bridge.

They had major problems. I don't blame them for contemplating it.

But their family and friends, they knew that their problems could be fixed. They saw a future for them. Everyone of them knew that the deceased could of changed their lives if they had stayed on earth just a little longer.

@Z00Z3R: I can remeber something of that movie... I think I've seen that one too...
@barone: Yes, it is...

im not being sarcastic

I thought about it before. I was in a very dark place between the ages of 15 and 16.

I've tried it. More than once. And about 2 years ago I started slitting my wrists. Call me emo, whatever but when my dad killed himself I always thought it was my fault. I used to get made fun of terribly in school, I was always the ugly one. I just... listened to them. I always thought I was the ugliest thing to ever walk the earth, like I had no point. I had no self esteem, I didn't care what I looked like... I was depressed. When I went into junior high I would just walk through to classes... I never talked to anyone, then I'd come home and sit in my room to wallow in self pity. And then something so small happened that changed my view on myself. I got contacts. I'm not making a joke in that I could actually see, I'm saying that when I got rid of my glasses I saw that I wasn't ugly... and then I started dressing well, and making me look like I want to... and I realize what an idiot I was. I was just sitting around feeling sorry for myself but I really had no reason to.

I think suicide is just... a bad idea now. I tried to do it more than once, but I always either backed out or my cousin saw me. It's so pointless... killing yourself gets rid of your problems, but it gets rid of your happiness too.

hell no. nuh uh. i used to get really depressed as a kid, but i knew it would change once i was out on my own, and then i got depressed while i was in the navy, but i never even considered it because i knew how awesome it was going to be when i got out of the service, and i was right. i think that people who do it are selfish pricks.
i have had freinds kill themselves "accidently" with drugs , and that's a bummer too.

I cut my wrists every night and bleed black...

indi...dude...seriously, i am scared for you. You've been online today and have made at least 50 posts. This isn't healthy. It is sunlight...go see it.

Yea Ragan. lol. I think a lot of you are being attention-whore Drama-queens, but some of you might not be... so I'm not going to point any fingers. I voted for "No- why would you?". Its seriously the stupidest thing you could ever do... I'm not a religious at all, but you were given a gift of life... Live it. If its too hard for you to deal with get some help, fix it, Every one of you have PLENTY of years ahead of you to live, even if it seems to take forever for things to get better, they will get better.
