...suicide? If so what brought you out of that despair?

Apologies to anyone this may offend. Sorry.

[Zippy]

No.

but I think it's valid option if life is too much for you. Everybody assumes people who commit suicide are somehow not thinking straight. What BS. You can make a rational choice that you just don't want to live anymore.

[Twilight]

Nope, i never have.
i've done a lot of stupid things when i've been upset, but i've not even thought of doing that.

By valid what do you mean exactly? Acceptable?

Sometimes life does get depressing but my mum who is a Christian has convinced me that if you kill yourself, you are going straight to hell. lol.

Valid as in they have the right to cease living if they choose. Of course, many do it due to mental health issues or emotional trauma. That's a different issue and they probably can be helped...with counselling or medication.

Whether its acceptable is irrelevent. Nobody who wants to kill themselves cares about whether it's acceptable by society.

but did you actually want to die or did you want attention? There is a big difference. Not that you wanting attention is a bad thing. Just means you require help sorting out your issues. Whatever they may be.

[Stephanie]

yeah.

[Twilight]

Mehh i might as well say >< i've self harmed before and still do.. but i don't do it for attention.

well :L

it was self harm not suicide really, i wanted to bleed i didnt want to die, but i nearly did *_*

[Twilight]

Yeah most people that self harm, don't actually want to die.

[Maia]

Yep :/ I've never self-harmed though.

yes, that's my point. For some it's the only way they feel they can get peoples attention. A cry for help. Theyre not actually suicidal.

If I wanted to kill myself I'd make damn sure the job was done properly.

I don't. At a guess it just goes black cos I sure as hell can't remember another life

Nope. I just don't understand the mentality - I've been miserable and lost a lot and been depressed a lot but I can't understand how one could ignore everything that's good about life: art, friends, relationships, learning - in favour of not existing.

Same here. I could write all day why I'd not want to be here. Being ill and death and... well alsorts..... but I'm alive

Depressed? How depressed were you? A little hacked off with life being unfair, or feeling that everything good in life had been removed from you and there was no chance of it ever being returned? So depressed you lose all interest in art music and all that you consider good in life?

How about being so depressed you just wanted to lie in bed and stay there till you died?

Ever gone to sleep and seen dead bodies, decayed corpses even when you wake in sweat the bodies are still there. Seen friends die over and over again in dreams that just keep coming back and feel you should have died either with them or in their place?

Its a funny thing the mind, it can cope with some heavy duty emotional trauma and bounce right back and then sometimes small upsets can cause it to spiral down into a deep abyss where self loathing is about all its capable of.

Never even thought about suicide. I've considered self-harm but i haven't actually done it before cause i tend to convince myself out of it.

I normally let my frustration and concerns out through anger, not by physically hurting others cause i wouldn't do that but by punching/hitting any thing in sight whether it's my bed matress, my dartboard, my wall. Then normally after i've let my anger out i just get a bit emotional.
