Have you ever attempted suicide? what happened?

Question

Have you ever considered suicide? What was your situation and what stopped you?

Answer 1

Huge cut down my arm, bled a lot. Felt really tired and went to bed. Woke up and I was still alive. Barely made it through the day, felt like puking the entire time and almost fainted constantly. Ended up telling my father, mostly because I was just so sick and wanted relief from it. I was still suicidal, but feeling like that I couldn't muster the will to finish.

So, I didn't really stop, just didn't do a good job. I'm not suicidal anymore though, at least, not exactly. I've decided that if I don't care about my life, I'll still live as long as there is someone who loves me or needs me. I feel better just thinking of that.  

Answer 2

no. My brother shot himself last year. He was 44 and divorcing. So much for life insurance. I think suicide is extrememly self-centered.

Answer 3

i tried by just stabbing myself and i was like 10. i just kept thinking about doing it but suddenly my mother walked in the door and i didnt want her to see me do it. i've never attempted it again ever since.

Answer 4

i sometimes think... i wanna die i wanna die! but that's all i won't literally do that.

Answer 5

Stopped me? Nothing. I'm dead. Didn't know they had computers in the afterlife, did you?

I think I'm in h**l though, because Yahoo Answers is the only website I can access...

Answer 6

Yes. I was really depressed and I was feeling wicked numb and the straw that broke the camel's back was when I was at a family party and I couldn't feel anything anymore. That night I went home and tried to slit my wrists (I say tried because I didn't go that deep) and then I started breaking down and tried telling my mom but I couldn't bring myself to and she gave me this herbal stuff to help me calm down and I fell asleep......and then I saw my therapist a couple of days later and she wanted me to go to a mental hospital if I wasn't going to talk to her (which I didn't really want to, but I didn't want to go to the hospital).....

Answer 7

Many times.

First time was trying to drown myself. Didnt work, lol. I realized I couldnt let the people who were bringing me down bring me down.

Then I tried hanging myself. Same reason, and I scared myself.

Then I used to cut..

My situation.. well, I dont feel like talking about it. I hope you understand, =/

Answer 8

My first and favorite:

Lots of Tylenol PM + lots of booze = my failure of a suicide attempt.  

It really sucked when I woke up and the best thing was that I did it on a Sunday and had school the next day.  I was thirteen.  It was bleh.  And I still cringe at the thought of how much my stomach hurt after that.

Answer 9

My sister works in a hospital and some guy tried to commit suicide by drinking some kind of fluid for your car, not gas but something else. He spent along time in the hospital and was in excruciating pain.

Suicide is never a good solution. I wish everyone would realize that eventually, just about every situation gets better with time.

Answer 10

yes. i have no idea what stopped me, but I am glad that it did.

Answer 11

I have considered suicide, but I went to the psychiatric ER and talked to them.  Talking to them helped me.  When I am thinking about suicide I just get to the doctor or the ER.  Luckily I have not been feeling that way in a year.  My father commited suicide he used a gun.
