Suicidal thoughts?

um, i was reading this thing and i came across this...i know many people who have felt like killing themselves some people attempt to act on it and then hide the scars and stuff but yeah.

 

 

Suicide?

Ask the 25-year-old who tried to electrocute himself. He lived. But both his arms are gone.

 

What about jumping? Ask John. He used to be intelligent, with an engaging sense of humor. That was before he leaped from a building. Now, he's brain-damaged and will always need care. He staggers and has seizures. He lives in a fog. But, worst of all, he KNOWS he used to be normal.

 

What about pills? Ask the 12-year-old with extensive liver damage from an overdose. Have you ever seen anyone die of liver damage? You turn yellow. It's a hard way to go.

 

What about a gun? Ask the 24-year-old who shot himself in the head. Now he drags one leg, has a useless arm and has no vision or hearing on one side. He lived through his "foolproof" suicide. You might too.

 

But ... who will clean your blood off the carpet or scrape your brains from the ceiling? Commercial cleaning companies may refuse that job--but SOMEONE has to do it.

 

Who will have to cut you down from where you hung yourself or identify your bloated body after you've drowned? Your father? Your mother? Your wife? Your son?

 

The carefully worded "loving" suicide note is of no help. Those who loved you will NEVER completely recover. They'll feel regret and an unending pain.

 

Suicide is contagious. Look around your family. Look closely at the 4 year old playing with his cars on the rug. Kill yourself tonight, and he may do it ten years from now.

 

You DO have other choices. There are people who can help you through this crisis. Call a hotline. Call a friend. Call a family member. Call your minister or priest. Call a doctor or hospital. Call the police. They will tell you that there's hope. Maybe you'll find it in the mail tomorrow. Or in a phone call this weekend. But what you're seeking could be just a minute, a month, or a day away.

 

You say you don't want to be stopped? Still want to do it? -- Well, then, I may see you in the psychiatric ward later. And we'll work with whatever you have left.

 

Remember: Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

 

so next time you feel like dying think about the consequences oki

thats really sad, i think it also may run in the family, my mother tried to kill herself last august , i get sucidial thoughts all the time.hm idk.

Thats sad, but so true. Good posting ss1.

Wow... that was amazing.

Really true, and I think it would have a positive effect on anyone who was thinking about killing themselves.

But it's right. Suicide really isn't worth it. Whatever is making you feel like that, isn't worth you dying for. Nothing is.

Thanks for posting, Ss1.

wow, very intruiging. alot of truth in it. thanx a lot for posting it!

Wow, thats so sad but true.

 

I love this line-"Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem."

Thanks for posting that ss1!

thank you for posting this ss1

my sister did the same thing, but she didnt' fail

But ... who will clean your blood off the carpet or scrape your brains from the ceiling? Commercial cleaning companies may refuse that job--but SOMEONE has to do it.

they actully have special clean companies that do this, they one in our town couldn't clean up the mess for some reason, my dads girlfriend cleaned it up

Who will have to cut you down from where you hung yourself or identify your bloated body after you've drowned? Your father? Your mother? Your wife? Your son?

that is a hard thing to do, no one had to id the body, but i'm the one who found her, my dad had to check for a pulse, so we both saw her

The carefully worded "loving" suicide note is of no help. Those who loved you will NEVER completely recover. They'll feel regret and an unending pain.

a note helps a little bit, but in the long run it means nothing, you still have so many questions, and it doesnt' bring my sister back

We've talked about this lots of times. The idea of suicide is always there, specially when we are going through bad moments, it was my case not a long time ago.

 

I've overcame this situation and I could jump out of the hole I was.

yeah i tried twice in 7th grade... tried to OD... dunno what i took... but it obviously wasnt enough (i graduated high school a month ago)... and i woke up the next morning in both cases and just threw up...ALOT... and my dad never noticed the empty pill bottles in the medacin cabanet....

wow acdc im sorry to hear that

 

 

darkrain thats no good either

I tried (well, I did) jumping out my window once and I broke my arm and my legs were numb for more thsn six weeks....

i heard some guy like shot himself like 3 times in the head didnt die,stabed himself a couple of times didnt,got hit by a car didnt die,but i think the pain taught him a lesson.

Suicide definitely isnt the way out, you have to face your own problems yourself.

 

BTW on a light notea bit of joking around: "Wat is Suicide?"

- It is a way of telling God, "Hye, you can't fire me, I quit".

oh thats the funniest joke i've ever heard!! [/sARCASM]

it a hard thing to get over when your in that state. ive tried a couple times abought

3 years ago. i was in 8th grade, parents divorced when i was young, childhood abuse from a stepmother, 8 felonies from crimes i regret still to this day,

(dont worry, i didnt kill anybody or somthing like that, just vandelism)

and grades going down faster than the speed of thought. i tried to OD, but just got sick. and then tried alcohol poisoning, but just got a serious hangover.

then i just thought long and hard abought the impact i would leave on my family and freinds, how they would probly follow me and do it themselves. it brought me back to reality and i never tried it again. it was hard but i got over it.

i still kind of twisted in some ways (you would know if you read my introduction forum)but im OK. i learned alot things are worth living for.

"The unexamined life is not worth living." - Socrates, father of the Socratic Method and huge part of judicial construction.

 

To not think about ALL aspects of life means to have quite the dull life. One aspect of life is death. Suicide is one aspect of life. All people have thought about suicide at least a few times. It is not taboo, it is only natural.

::sigh:: this post isn't enough to stop anyone. all it does is tell you people fuck up, and if you fuck this up.. well, then you're the ultimate fuck up.

 

no one who's.. had thoughts strong enough to make them act on em.. will tell you it's just a personal problem that they need to get over. and everyone who says that.. never has had strong enough thouhgs..

Hyper, couldnt have said it better myself.

tnx for posting this. alot of ppl will think twice

no they won't, once a person has completly and totally made up their mind, THERE IS NO CHANGING IT

Thats true.

 

But i have noticed some people under some misconception that it is "cool" or relieving to think such thoughts then act on them.

 

I swear it would be one of the worst feeling to know you f'ed it up and then not have enough mobility to take your life even though mentally you suicide for the rest of your life.

 

It's just so sad to see a family friend looking so pathetic after a failed attempt at doing it...sometimes when people read things like this they can realise that these kinda things aren't play things.

no they won't' date=' once a person has completly and totally made up their mind, THERE IS NO CHANGING IT[/quote']

 

I don't agree.

Not always, but often people who are suicidal don't actually want to die, they just feel they have no options left. Which is never true. There are *always* alternatives to a problem, which can make a person think twice. I once spent a month carefully planning a suicide and was stopped by my friends, so yes, you CAN change someone's mind.

well ya if you waited a month to do it, then that sounds like (to me) that you didn't want to *really* do it, my experiance with my sister and others tells me that when a person has TRULY made up their mind, you can't change it, you might prevent it, but they will do it eventually

No, you're right. I didn't. But my point was that I don't think anyone truly wants to die. I'm sorry about your sister. But I've had a lot of experence with other people's suicides, not just my own, and people who claim to be really serious about it often don't go through with it.

 

As I said before, I don't think people who are suicidal want to die, but I think they are so desperate to escape their problems that that is what they do. In a lot of cases, an alternative solution to suicide can be presented, because suicide isn't a solution at all.
