Do You Think About Suicide ?
Question:
Answers:
I suffer from severe manic depression and think about suicide every day, not for escape as such, just because I think I was born into the wrong era, don't believe I belong in this life and don't feel like being part of 'modern' society, where casual sex and lack of respect, manners and acceptance is rife. After two failed suicide attempts and a hospital psychiatrist telling me I wasn't suicidal, I do wonder what to do next.. still here though.

Not particularly
No and hopefully you don't either. Just remember, always go up the highway, never across the road.
Dude, call a hotline, you need to talk to someone. No one that thinks about suicide everyday should be asking about it on youqa.com, they should be talking to a professional.
Now they are idle thoughts of escape. 8 years ago they were daily thoughts of finishing it all ( I attempted it 3 times)
The thought of leaving my life unfinished would be a waste. If you have hit rock bottom the only way is up it may sound trite but it is the only way to look at it.
Every has had or will think about suicide, and I always daydream about escape, I am a stay at home dad with two young kids at home.. Anyway you sound like you could use some help so I am going to share my story in an eggshell. A few years back, I went from a workaholic making tons of money, I was strong as an ox, I was there for my family, I survived on 3-4 hours of sleep a night. I came from nothing and climbed out of the ashes and built a real life for myself. Overnight this all changed. I fell of a ladder and became bed ridden for over a year. 4 Major operations. I was told I would only be able to stand and maybe take a few steps at a time. Becauese of my boss, I was not getting workers comp right off the bat. My savings were flying out of the bank. I was loosing my house, we had to go on wellfare. I never collected any type of assistance in my life. I never didn't have a job.. I was eating pain pills like candy.. The walls were caving in and I saw one way out.. I had a loded shotgun under my bed and every day sat withit in my mouth praying for the strength to pull the trigger.. One day I asked what I wanted in life, I asked what was important in life.. I decided to unload the gun and began to fight for my life back. Today things are better than they have ever been even though I am dirt poor. I am not on welfare. I stay home with hte kids. I didn't loose the house. Today I look at my injury as the best thing that ever happened to me. There is so much more to it. Please contact me if you would like to hear more and please search for the help you need before you make the wrong decissions. Think of all the people you will affect with this decission.. There is hope.. Trust me. If you never prayed or don't beleive, Just try it until thing pass, Good Luck, I hope to hear from you I refer you to Nick M's answer
I'd never consider it. It's a cowards way out.
It depends on how heave your problems are, but i dont think about suicide cos i dont have guards and also think life is too precious to loose on stupid things. But i think about death, whats happening in the other world.
No. Years ago, I had postpartum depression and wanted to die, but I never thought about doing myself in. I got through it.
If you have those thoughts, get help.
no cause life is to much fun when not taken seriously .money problems ,,partner problems family problems are only temporary set backs in life.my thinking is that was yesterday what fun can i have today I think about it all the time. The only reason I won't do it is because I refuse to give my enemies the satisfaction!
Life is short so why don't you enjoy while you can. So, the answer is negative.
I use to. But not now. Life is too good right now for me to throw it away. Besides suicide is like taking the easy way out, which is basically cowardice. Sometimes you just need to take charge and face life.
not on a daily basis but sumtimes i wonder why im hear.whats the point?? and it gets to the point where life seems meaningless.and i still have yet to find the meaning of life but what keeps me going is the fact that i dont want to hurt the ones i love and i want to make sumthin of myself even if life is meaningless I thought about suicide all the time. Most of the time they were Idle thoughts of escape but once it was something more and I tried to kill myself by overdosing on over the counter medicine. Needless to say, I am still here so I did not do a very good job. I got help after that. If you are heaving these feelings please see a doctor right away. You may think you'd never do it but one day you might surprise yourself.
i've tried, a razor stings like a million bees, but the pain of loosing the one you love.Never ends.
No but there was a time when I wanted to escape.
no It was just idle escapism on my part , self escape and idle threat . more than an intention to do anything. Acry for help.
of course not. r u a girl? if so, thats the right way u r thinking.
I think this sums it up, it was told to me, years ago:
"Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem"
Idle thoughts of escape? No, it takes a lot of courage (even if misplaced) to go thro with it
No, almost never and if I do, it's only for a fleeting moment pertaining to something I saw or read! If you're thinking about it on a daily basis, you should see a Doctor; It may be a chemical imbalance in your system or something psychological! Call Now! I think everyone, no matter how much they deny it has had the thought cross their mind buddy it is after all a curiosity of the unknown, i would dismiss it as an idle thought like you said, smile man. It's a cliche i know but things are never as bad as they seem, here's another cliche, time actually does heal problems.
No, not really, I only thought of it once, through the divorce of my parents, but quickly shunned the idea. Cant play rugby when youre dead, eh?!
Probably not as much as starving people in Africa think about trying to stay alive.
Or people with terminal cancer..
Or people in Lebanon.
Stay alive, you will die sometime so make the most of it now.
