Question for all

Answer me this question........Have you ever tried to commit suicide or have that anout it.....from what you said no but until you begin thinking that way you wouldn't be able to understand...
I know where you are coming from I used to be like why would someone want to do that...it could be much worse. However I became depressed and thought and tried commiting suicide because I started to think in the reversed way.....I thought yeah there are a whole lot of people who have it worse then me but that is their problems....I'm trying to deal with what is happening to me and I didn't think I could deal with it.......but also when you think or hear a story of how much worse someone else has it it can make you hate yourself even more and make you want to commit suicide that much faster because compared to them you are weak and it makes you hate yourself and want it all to end even more.

Thats why you souldn't tell someone that is depressed how good they have it because it honestly makes them feel that much worse.

Suicide is wrong, there is no question, and yes I have tried to kill myself mulitple times. I wasn't thinking about the cost I was just too crazy to handle myself. Yeep! I have to get off the computer, more later!

sometimes people cant handel life, and mabey thats just it!!! now let me ask yall something... evrytime you shove some food into your mouths, do u stop and think about the sarving kids, and then just not eat out of intentions of them, no you dont. so i dont beleive that its a totallly selfish act. yes sometimes its for very veyr stupid things such as my boyfriend left me...but to otheres that may just be the end f the world.... and we cant understand that and we never will, its just that they felt that that was the only way to escape the pain they feel. i have thought about suicide many times, and no it wasnt because of normal typical tennage heartace, it was for real heartace!! no one can actually understand why people commit suicide, other than the perons who kills themselves. the only thing i can say is that now be happy because you knopw that they are finally heartace free, carless, and happy. and im not a big god beleiver, so dont think i am, but just incase there is a god, mabey that was just his plan for them. i dont really beleife in all that, but hats another way to look at it!

I agree with Ruby
Taylor what I am trying to say is that.
When your in depression you think in a totally different way then people without depression most of the time! You don't think of others when your depressed and most of the time you can't help it.
Depression is a MENTAL ILLNESS! and no I'm not depressed of a stupid break up or silly highschool drama ok so watch what you say.

I dont believe sui is the right road, but call me a f****** hypocrite i dont care, i've attempted, but i realized there was more to life. But i also believe that there is some circumstances that someone commits and it IS for all the RIGHT reasons. *Example situation... Your sexually, physically, and mentally abused. No one accepts you for who you are. You have NO friends. No one understands you. your family tells you you're worthless and are better off dead. *

Then i do believe you have every right to commit, but there wil always be someone there fo you even if you dont realize it.

most students who do attempt sui dont do it because of highschool drama or a breakup. They do it because of there home life and relationships with their family

lots of people commit suicide for different reasons. some of the teen suicides may well be because of some trivial thing like a breakup from a two week relationship, or something equally as stupid, but some of them aren't. teens can get depression just as easily as anyone else, and they can get anything else as well. if you've ever had to live with a mental illness like depression or hearing things or seeing things or feeling things that aren't there, or being physically abused, sexually abused, emotionally abused, then you are more likely to understand the mind of a suicidal than anyone else. if you've never felt suicidal, then you'll never be ab;e to understand just form listening to someone esle talk about it. its like being in love, you understand what it feels like if you've felt it yourself, but other than that you're pretty much screwed to understand.

and, no offense or insult intended to anyone here who may take it that way, but did anyone here saying its stupid stop and think, 'hmm, well, perhaps putting a post on the internet saying people with depression are being selfish might just push someone over the edge'? if someone feels suicidal anyway and then are told internationally they're being selfish idiots, its not exactly going to make them feel better is it?

just a few thoughts, you may not agree, and if anyone takes any offense, none was intended.

Well, I'm suicidal and depressed. I've been going through a very rough time right now and all I know is that I'd much rather be dead than here. I'd rather not feel and suffer through the pain. I'd rather be dead than have to go through it all. I've tried to commit suicide, and didn't succeed, but all I know is that people who commit suicide or attempt it are in a very depressed state of mind and that's the only other thing they can think of. They just want to be happy again, and if the world is causing them pain, then they'll leave it. I hope I helped a little bit at least.

Well, I have tried to commit suicide. I live in a family with two parents, and three sisiters. I am "middle-classed" but that's just the thing. You dont know how to handle different things and guess what? Depression is because of indifference of hormones in your brain, you cant really help it. Just thought you'd like to know that. see ya.

Adolescence is a minefield...anyone that makes it out alive is a hero...

When you are talking to people who are depressed, the last thing you should say is, "Other people have it worse." It means nothing. It makes the depressed person feel worse about themselves. Like what they feel doesn't matter. So all it teaches them to do is to bottle their emotions and not bother people with them.

Anyone who has had a friend of close family member commit suicide should feel atleast a little guilty. Suicide is preventable. You can see it coming. If you know how to look...

Well i agree that committin suicide is wrong but still there are some times in everyone's life that is so rough.. at that moment the person just dont think and start looking for a way to escape - in that momente he might find that committin suicide is the only way to escape.

For me i tried to commit suicide three times and as you see i faild in them all but believe me that at that time i just thought that it couldnt be worse... i just gained more pain and also makin everyone around me sad - which is also painful like seeing someone suffering or feeling sad because of you.

I think that anyone who wants to commit suicaide - of course he'll be out of his mind at that moment - but even tho. he should try to think about the people around him and that he means something to someone. - in my case i said that if they realy cared about me then i wouldnt be committin suicide then.

Also we cant just blame the persone himself. we also have to blame the society at all because they left him alone facing his problems and thinking in his way. if that person found a crying soulder or a hand of help then he wouldnt commit suicide. And now if someone committed suicide then we are all to blame because we were not there when he needed someone to stand by his side. But of course we are talking about a human being's society that everyone just thinks about himself and we never look at others problems.

At last we all can see that committing suicide is just to run away from facing lifes problem... or just to comfort oneself if he is feeling guilty about something he might did.

And also i just wanna say that its true that we make our own future but i do also believe in fate so sometime someone who wants to live just dies .. that is why we say that life is so unfair.. it's just as easy as this.

I don't go out of my way for anyone. I don't expect anyone else to either.

"You can't see what isn't put in front of you."

What isn't put in front of you? You can see alot if you get close enough. It's called intuition. Everyone has it. And the closer you get, the tighter the bond, and the less the risk of suicide...

Of course there's always some anomoly. People with severe mental problems who do for no earthly reason. Meds can usually stop this, but the people that suicide because of this have always been found to be either not taking their meds, or taking the wrong kind of meds.

I'm not saying people should go out their way for eachother. That's co-dependance.

People should just realize that we all live on the same earth, we all feel the same things at some point in time, and acknowledge eachother as equals. Bear eachother's pains, share pleasures. This is the core of friendship, methinks.

look people commit suicide, and theres nothing we can do to change it, and thats that. we dont understand and whenever really will, because were not the ones killing ourselves. simple as that.

Taylor you made a statement about that I was only fourteen well one question what age were you when you first tried committing suicide?! Age doesn't matter for anything except a stupid number!

age is everything. except nobody acts it.

Age is not everything. And to many people will never be anything.
"Age" depends on wisdom and opinions and thought

i think age is nothing... its how mature we are mentally, age is just another number to me

2 years ago i acted like a 5 year old, i cried over everything, took everything and friends for granted, now i guess i act like a 17 or 18 year old(i'm 16) (Except wen it comes to school, i freak out over marks since im in grade 11 now... =S)

but anyways.. i think age is just another number, my boyfriend is 18, but he carries the burden of a 28 year old with good job and all(even if he lived on his own and i actually ran away to live with him overseas to where hes going to university, we'd actually be ok without financial support of either of our parents, he's that successful even without a university degree yet) and all, expected to be perfect and strong for the rest of his life, though he has to deal with being a grade 12 also with tests and exams and going to university,

even though hes really smart it just gets stressful... and... well.. he has a full time job working as an accountant and a part time job as a swimming instructor, and after he finishes his masters, he will have to start taking over his family business... which is... well... lets just say... its a lotta money to manage, and he doesn't want that... sometimes i wish there wasn't any money in the world, because money is ruining and too controlling of both our lives and have ruined our childhoods...

i guess age can sometimes give a general idea.. but its still just a number, u can't reallie use it to assume how someone acts like or knows best or is just dumb

we all do dumb things, regardless of how old we are

I don't know why people do it. its selfish, bottom line. If a friend or family member of mine committed suicide, I promise you, I wouldn't cry a single tear!

I attempted at 15 and 16, but physical age is nothing, it is what you are mentaly... and some parents do say your better off dead... i've been there

This is the depression forum, so here we are expected to be all hot and bothered. Thus, debate.

Notice how all the people that say 'age is but a number' are no older than 16.

seque-way // who has a fiance when they're 16?

Death is never easy for those left behind. Whether it was natural or no. The hardest to deal with I think are those where there is no one to blame. Or when we have ourselves to blame.
