Have you ever CONSIDERED SUICIDE??

Question

dont worry im not like considering it im just wondering if theres anyone out there thats come close and if so what stopped you?

Answer 1

I find it difficult to believe that anyone on this planet can deny this.

If you want to know what stopped me, it was because i was aware of the fact that no matter how much suffering or loneliness i felt, i was still able to perform acts of kindness and benevolence, regardless of my own personal condition.

You don't have to be a saint to be nice to people.

Answer 2

Yes.  I have considered it many times.  I am on a good antidepressant now and doing much better.  The one time I was going to shoot myself and got to the doctor and was put in a psychiatric hospital for a week.  That was due to a certain kind of medication I was on.  Once I got off that I improved a lot.

Answer 3

yeah, many times. I almost did it once with poison and I scared myself so much I vowed never to do it again. its amazing how much you want to live when you're very close to death. its easy to dream about it and think its a solution to all your problems when you're comfortable and warm in your bed, but when you feel the burning in your stomach or the metal tip of the gun on your temple your mind takes a 180. I feel for anyone who falls victim to this.

Answer 4

No. I never had reason to.

Answer 5

not really the thought crossed my mind a couple times but i would never do that no matter how bad things got

Answer 6

lol no

Answer 7

Yes.  Everyone has.  I knew that God wouldn't want that path for me.

Answer 8

I have. I considered slashing my wrists and hanging myself. When i looked up i saw a picture of my beautiful son and then i started to cry because i realised how could i leave him behind???  

Answer 9

Yeah.

The fear of non-existence and not being able to come back.

Answer 10

noo

Answer 11

YEAH!! After I enlisted in the Navy as a Ship's Serviceman.  

Answer 12

Sure, I've thought about it before. What always creeps into my head though is the reactions of the people I love- my brother and sister, my friends, etc. I don't want to put them through that sort of heartbreak.

Answer 13

I have almost killed myself, but I mean, who am I kidding? I'm 15, with a lot going for me. I talked myself out of it.

Answer 14

No

Answer 15

Yes I have and I know many people do.  Fear stopped me (which is ironic b/c it was fear that lead me to consider it in the first place).  Fear that the permanent nature of one action could not be reversed.  It's a scary thought.
