Well if your posting here of coarse not :lol:. but why would people do that. I'm depressed all the time and yet i don't consider killing myself (i consider killing the problem*pulls out a knife and a shotty*). please explain to me why people would consider this.

Because they don't realize that they can get help. family or otherwise. I get sad all the time but I never wanted to end my life. Don't see how that would achieve anything

I'd be lying if I said the thought never crossed my mind. In a state of deep depression, I seriously considered it... the only thing that stopped me was that my alarm went off. By then, I had expected myself to be dead...

For me, I had felt at the time that nothing was worse than life. The pain I had felt in my heart was unbearable, and quite literally no one in my family has ever had that problem before. It's a strange pain, really... it feels cold, and twists at your chest, as if your heart is going to be crushed before being pulled from your body.

Mental stress, pain, or physical pain... all can contribute to that horrible, cold feeling of hopelessness. It weighs on your heart like a ton of bricks... and being that I was as stubborn as a mule at the time, I refused to ask anyone for help. I wallowed in my own pathetic failures while creating a facade for my parents that I had done nothing of the sort. When my failure came to the light, however, it seemed that my whole world crashed down. My parents were ashamed of me, and refused to speak to me. All that I held dear shunned me...

I was weak and couldn't take the pressure, stress, and pain. Nothing else could compare to the agony of my own mind at night, which shunned my actions... actions that I regretted. Regret... that is such a powerful feeling. One must never underestimate its destructive capabilites towards one's self-esteem and mind.

So... I tried, and failed, in my first and only suicide attempt.

Rest assured, I feel different now; I'm just telling you all how I felt at the time.

Wow..I liked reading that a lot..You're really good at capturing emotions..You should write a story..or have you already?

I have, but not related to the subject. ^.^''

I've tried. It didn't work out. Taoma's little sister and Karn made me stop....sometimes i wish they hadn't though.

I've never actually seriously considered it, but if you're mentally weak enough to actually kill yourself then you're probably better off, cause if you didn't your feelings would vent another way, probably violently and on others.

^If you never considered it then its hard to comprehend.

Kurai, may I see what you wrote? I really want to read it.

wow,thats crudy dur he has the right to kick your posterior but im stayin out of this......oh and i considered suicide....but i was to tired so i said ah hell with it dont even try.......suicide gets you nowhere

Harusaki- I'm not sure I can post the story on this message board, as is it has nothing to do with Fire Emblem... x.x

It's quite alright although I really wanted to read it :-\

I consider suicide the short way out and would rather make something out of myself before I'm buired six feet under. I also wouldn't want to drag others into pain just because i couldn't handel living any longer. Plus...hell is still a possibility.

Yeah..I want to try everything that I can (good things, mind you) and learn whatever I find interesting

We welcome any stories...

Also, there was a point in my life when I considered it. It seemed at that point, that nobody on the face of the earth wanted me here.. But I never could go through with it....... Needless to say, i'm very glad I didn't. I can now look back, and see all the people that cared a whole heap of alot for me...Plus, life right now is pretty fun :D

Hmm, suicide... it's definitely crossed my mind before, never seriously considered it though... I've always thought of it as the easy way out... and that no one ever deserves the luxury of ending life early... we all must be here on this earth for a reason, and it's not fair that someone gets to leave early for their own selfish reasons... and plus, it hurts more people when you kill yourself, what a bout those around you? those who care about you? what's gonna happen to them? that's why we should just keep on going, and not let life get the best of us... i have a very suicidal friend... multiple suicide attempts, just recently planned on cutting herself... it's really hard to try to tell her, but, she's still alive isn't she?... i mean, by now i hope she is...

I have thought of it. not in killing myself but as how it would effect me if someone i know did it to themselves. Besides, i know i wouldn't have the guts to kill myself. I know a friend, who's a senior in highschool now, who had a friend that kill herself. Its was tragic because she told him her exact plan a month before she did it. When she did do it he was thirteen years old. Kids at that age should not have experience others suicide attempts at that age. Suicide is a very stupid thing...at least to me. It scares me to think of how many people do it in one day. Besides, as Trace said, there is a possibility of a hell.

At one point, I was gonna kill myself, but my cat started to moan for food and a hug and that stopped me. Weird.

When I was a kid, I told my mom I was gonna kill myself. I don't really even remember it - I got taken to a Psychiatrist, and he decided (and I'm sure he was right) it was just me trying to get attention. I don't really remember myself as a kid, but I'm pretty sure I was a real ***. I know all my old friends from elementary school are real jerks now.

EDIT-I have a friend who used to cut himself....he even has scars on his arms. I think that's probably the only thing that's ever really been scary before...

I'm a very apathetic person, but I do enjoy life, and it's fun.

if you want to kill yourself then you an attention seeking emowhore, if you are a teenager) in my opinion. my freinds girlfreid has tried to ill herself 4 times, 2 when drunk. those are allowable, and the other 2 where because she was lonley.

it's not for attention all of the time..

I considered suicide once upon a time.... but I reflected on ho it would affect all my friends.... Thinking about how I would react if they killed themselves. Suicide is not worth it, no matter how you look at it. Life is a gift, you only get one chance with it, so don't f*** it up, cause you will regret it. People who look forward to death need to think, death is not being expelled from everything. There is something beyond death, quite possibly a new life, with new problems. If any of you ever consider suicide, don't think about all the things that have gone wrong, think about all the things that have gone right. You may commit suicide because your parents abuse you, but what about your friends? They don't beat you, they treat you with respect and would miss you dearly. Always look at something from two viewpoints before you make a decision, even ask a friend if you must. You are not in the world alone, and anything you do will affect those around you, whether you realize it or not.

I've thought about sucide a couple time but never had the courage. Yet suicide doesnt accomplish nothing but losing your life and making the people who really care for u miserable and sadier (sp?). People commit suicide because it would end there pain and make people more better because they arent there. It may your pain go away but not make people happy for what u did. We cant control ppl in what to do but we can help them.

Considered Suicide Attempts: 23
Carried out Suicide attempts: 0

I'm just to scared of death, I suppose.

Anywho, I have been bullied before (grondring knows this) and I did feel like stabbing myself in the throat at dinner once, but that would have made to much of a mess.

lol...where ya from milo? london? leeeds? penzance?

Mabchester. Yes, it is a depressing place. :(

ive condiesr suicide couple times because my life gets very miseable at times

I get depressed, and I have an obsession with death, but I've never considered suicide.
I feel like living more.

(my personal opinion) suicides are for sissys who and hunker down and take the real world, yoo're not always gonna be happy, if u get abused by your parents or something like that, there are plenty foster care places to go..... so keep it real, and dont kill youself (plus if u catholic and u commit sucide ull go to hell cuz its a sin and u cant confess us ur dead) so dance man...dance

i've learned from school that suicide is a cowardly way out of a problem. it is also a permanent solution to what is usually a temporary problem.
with the help of my teachers, i trained myself not to commit suicide at all costs. i've thought about commiting suicide a few times, when my parents yell at me for no reason at all, and i feel very bad. but then, i remember that i am a unique person, my life is very worth living, and i am very smart.
someone once told me that everybody will leave something useful behind before they die. i feel it's a tragedy for anyone to commit suicide before they get the chance to leave something behind.

IMO to commit suicide would be very selfish on your part. First of all, you're not considering who else you would be hurting and depressing from your actions, and other than that, you're trying to take the "easy" way out of things rather than asking for forgiveness for your actions or making things up for what you may have done. You'r not helping anyone by doing this to yourself, I can imagine parents and family committing suicide themselves because they may feel that they have failed as role models to their child. One act of suicide can lead to another, for various reasons, so don't think you're doing ANYONE a favour by ending yourself on purpous.

Note: The following is simply my opinion on suicide as I have experienced it first-hand.
suicide is nature's way of reducing stress. Most cases of teens who are suicidal are extremly vehement and emotional. This is because the human brain has decided that it must find a cure for things that are going wrong in it's likfe. Prehaps the problem was drugs, the death of a loved one, extreme negative peer pressure. All of those are things that the human body believes it cannot change and thus it leaves itself wiht an unsolvable delima: My current condition must end, but there is no way I can end it.
Now the logical assumption would be for that person to seek help from another, which most adults do. Teenagers, however, often believe, in almost all circumstances, that their problems are uniqe and that no one else cna solve them. Thus the person's mind desperatly wants to rid itself of its current condition, but is convinced that there is no way that the condition can be remidied. That leaves the human mind with only one option to rid itself of its current affliction: death. The human brain decides to use teh only plan it belives can work, and thus kills itself.
