*poll* on suicide

"Nothing to live for; Everything to die for"

I for one think that quote is shit. It's meaningless and more importantly STUPID. There is EVERYTHING to live for and NOTHING to die for. You die and that's it, your gone. I can tell you if you did in fact kill yourself there would be nothing left behind to carry on your name. I know this just by that post. You do nothing in life when you swim in a pool of self pity, you create nothing to leave behind. People won't remember you nor care of your passing. By this I do not mean your family and friends as I KNOW people would be crushed if you left this wonderful world. I more so am referring to people that have run across you in day to day life. Why live like this? Why do you want to know who and how many people have try to committ suicide? What comfort does that give you? How can you find pleasure in knowing people do not want to live this life so awesomely created. I think you need to find something within yourself and your life that IS worth it. There is something...look deeper. There are millions of people in this world that have it 100 times worse than you. I think if people can realize this and also understand it their lives wouldn't be so horrible...in their eyes. People with "real" (not to say your problems aren't real but I mean worse) will look at you and laugh. I've seen kids with NOTHING and I do mean NOTHING find happiness in simply knowing they have family and people who care. I also know or I guess I should say BELIEVE that there is NO 'trying' to committ suicide. I very firmly believe when someone wants to go they WILL succeed in their quest to be gone. Life is beautiful...I can not for the life on me understand why people feel the way you say you do. Quit swarming around in your trail of pity and get out...SMILE! :)

how do you know you only live pain once maybe you live it day after day after day speak for yourself

Becky? What the hell are you talking about....

I hate twinkies...

Oh...it was a good quote...I missed that some how..

*guilty look*

don't read my profile.

yeah.

but....didnt...

yeah i've tried 3 times. i've tried 2 OD twice and i stuk a knife in my wrist once but then i thought better of it. i have evidently reconsidered that decision every single day since and i always wonder why, when that knife was in my arm, why i didn't slide it up my vien. And, no offence intended, but Natalie84, you obviously don't know what it's like to spend a day inside my head or you wouldn't be talking about how gr8 life is. i'm not saying you're wrong or anything, and i'm not trying to be mean, but i just don't see life that way, and from the sounds of this convo, its not necessarily.
agen, i just wana say i'm not having a go at you or anything, but i really think before you start talking about the miracle of life, you should spend a day in the head of a clinically depressed person. try it for one day and then see just how wonderful life feels then. i hate it and i'm pretty sure everyone else out there feeling the same hates it 2.

great quote (sorry i was just reading and saw ppl posting quotes and deciding to post this one)

This is just my opinion, but I think suicide is not the answer to certain problems people face in life. Some people think that suicide can "solve" certain things. When I was a freshman in high school, my best friend killed himself after his drunk father came home and beat him numerous amounts of times. I was devistated. He was like a brother to me. The day after he killed himself, his dad was sentenced to three years in prison for crimes he had committed. But I was left with the fact that my best buddy was gone forever. I was having problems in my life during that time. He was the only one that I could talk to. That was when I attempted suicide for the first and final time. I woke up in the hospital with my family standing over me crying. I was heartbroken. That was when I realized that suicide is just a way to "hide" from your problems. It doesn't solve anything. It just creates more problems in my opinion. There is a poem in my database that I wrote about suicide. Attempting suicide was the worst mistake I ever made in my life. After that experience, I came to realize that life is a gift and you shouldn't selfishly throw it away because things aren't going your way.

i personally dont know why we even have a depression forum on this site. doesnt really seem to solve any problems. just kinda acts like napalm; sticks and slowly melts people away unless you know how to deal with it.

ooh, bob used my special word, "pernicious" yay! I recognize smart people talk. That's something to live for.

I've got a common death anxiety and the natural instinct of self-preservation and vanity against cutting into my skin. NOW I have lot's of things to live for, but, yes, I've been on "pernicious missions" living to die. Nowadays I've been dying to live.

This is why p&q have a depression forum.

Look at what poetry it has just generated:

"just kinda acts like napalm; sticks and slowly melts people away unless you know how to deal with it."

me. but my partner came home early.now im on 24 hr watch.y cant you die if u want to

i have....why??
because i have no life, no friends,
no family and life sucks...

yes, because my family life sucked, friends looked down on me, and father raped me when younger... had repressed memories

i've tried, everything sucked whenver some1 said a happy thing i thought they lied and i thought i died so i
thought if i died emotionally why not die physically it was horrible (knife to the neck ....) a lot of my poems are about that its really hard to go through that
