Thread: Suicide

I went skydiving once. In a way I see that as attempted suicide. Especially since I felt like my heart was going to explode. The adrenaline rush lasted all night long.

I have gone skydiving 3 times, and can honestly say the rush and experience even beat out sex on the intensity level. I plan on going back in the spring to get licensed. But I would agree , it is avery risky life threatening sport.

The only time I could see that as an option for myself would be if I was terminally ill, I wouldn't want to suffer and waste away.

I have seen the total destruction it causes in a father's soul. I was interviewing a guy for a job with my business. He told me of his son's killing himself by hanging. The guy was not cabable of working ... or even getting past the loss yet. I cried at the pain in his heart ... it totaled him as a human being.

Well I've thought about/attempted suicide, I was extremely depressed through grade 7-9 espically in grade 9 during the worst if my ED, I just figured if I was thin and I looked better people would like me more, or the reason why people would make fun of me was because I was fat and ugly. I still have that type of outlook really, cause it's true people are judgmental always have been, always will be. Espically during my Keyboarding class there's these two jackasses that no one like and they make fun of everyone, when they started making fun of me I feel it's beacuse I'm fat and ugly and I started digging my fingernail into my wrist really hard without noticing, I only relized after it started bleeding, looks like it'll leave a scar fun, my best friend use to be reallly really depressed but now she's a perky I don't give a shit what people think kind of person, god I envy people like that.

That can be very subjective.
Before I would say that I would never do it. I have no problem admitting today that if I encounter a very bad situation with no apparent solution available, I will pull the plug. No question about it. Although I think that difficult situations would make me not to quit, the real problem is boredom, if I get bored for too long I can do it.
I wanna try skydiving, that must be great.

Everybody has thought about suicide, it is part of becoming a teenager, to understand that death is permanent. However, most people decide that it is not for them.

I hate myself too much to do me that pleasure.

I agree.. everyone has probably thought about it at one time or another. I voted yes, but I've never seriously thought about it. I would never do it, regardless of circumstances.

I would ask the same thing about murder ... would you commit it? We have alll thought abouit doing both at some point in our lives ... but could you?

You just ruined my next thread.
I hate violence but I can´t tell for sure that would not be possible. There are those life and death situations that almost everybody would do it.

If I felt that mine or a family member's life was in danger, I wouldn't have to think twice about killing someone.

Didn't mean to kill your next thread .... it was just a natural progression of thought. But now the question is out there ....

Few people gonna answer my question or yours. Because people don´t know themselves well or because they prefer to be quiet.

Thanks for being honest and so open about your issues.

Yes, I have thought about it.

And yes, I would kill someone.

I wonder how many actually killed somebody.

Suicide should not even be an option, for ANYone. As you all know, a childhood best friend of mine just commited suicide. I hadn't even seen the kid in 6 years until this past summer, but it still hurt me so much. I can't even imagine what his poor mother is going through. I have to go to the wake tommorow night, and the funeral on thursday, man its going to be tough.

Guys, it should not even be an option. I don't care how bad you THINK your life is. Whether your fat, bald, ugly, short, WHATEVER. You know what? it doesn't matter what people think about you. It matters how you feel about yourself! You are all going to die your own deaths, we all do. You only get one chance at this life, so why bring it to an abrupt end. In most cases you hurt the people who care about you more you can even imagine.....

God bless all of you....

Wow, I hope you don'y still have any of those feelings. If you do, I really want you to talk to your school counselor about this. And please feel free to talk to me about this if you need to. I am currently a school counseling intern.
I used to think about suicide a lot when I was in high school and again in my twenties. I used to suffer from different eating disorders, depression and panic attacks. Weight lifting has helped me SO much.

Interesting that you'd say this JJJ since Sweden has the highest rate of suicide in the world. I've never thought about it for me.Death yes, suicide no. Death is part of life. Personally, I'd never have the balls to off myself.

I know life is great but everybody has its own decision to make (i.e:euthanasia), why discourage it? I would never encourage it though.
Good night everybody.

On that note I am going to date myself circa 1983:

Suicide's An Alternative

Sick of people - no ones real
Sick of chicks - they're all bitches
Sick of you - you're too hip
Sick of life - it sucks

Suicide's an alternative

Sick of trying - what's the point
Sick of talking - no one listens
Sick of listening - it's all lies
Sick of thinking - just end up confused
Sick of moving - never get no where
Sick of myself - don't wanna live
Sick and tired - and no one cares
Sick of life - it sucks

Sick of politics - for the rich
Sick of power - only oppresses
Sick of government - full of tyrants
Sick of school - total brainwash
Sick of music - top 40 sucks
Sick of myself - don't wanna live
Sick and tired - and no one cares
Sick of life - it sucks

Suicide's an alternative

Sick of life - it sucks
Sick and tired - and no one cares
Sick of myself - don't wanna live
Sick of living - I'm gonna die

And yes I have thought about it, but I hate to be called a quitter

suicide is a very weak thing to do, it's ultimate failure, and I am not sure I can say any type of circumstance warrants it IMO.

As you move forward in life you will encounter assholes like that. We all have. The assholes that bothered you will sooner or later get their asses kicked and end up working in the shiping department at Net-Flix or handing out hot sauce with the tacos at Taco Bell. You ... on the other hand ... will go on to invent the next great Operating System and retire by age 27 or maybe even come up with the cure for being an asshole and get the Nobel Peace Prize and hang out with Desmond Tutu. I may be stretching it a lil' but you get my point. You have a shit load of life out there just begging for you to come live it. Don't let a couple of dorks get ya down man.

It is weak and it is selfish, no denying that... but people who attempt or succeed at suicide are obviously not thinking straight, you have to be pretty fucked up and desperate to act on those kind of thoughts, how bad would it be to feel that hopeless that you really want out of this life?!

Thats just not true. Lithuania has the highest suicide rate in the world. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/3639152.stm

Im not trying to insult you, but it would be a sign of low maturity if you never thought about suicide. My guess is that you have, but just dont remember it, or something like that.

If I may respectfully add, that is your opinion and you have every right to have it. But in the Eastern principles that I follow, its both honorable AND the right thing to do in certain circumstances. I wont go into all of it here since there is really no point. Im not trying to change anyone's beliefs to mine. But I would say that it is weak only to you and others who feel that way. And that is right for you. But to some of us others, who count just as much, it is not. There's two sides to every coin.



And yes, I would do it if the situation merited it. Its my life and no one will answer for what I do or dont do but me.

The only reason I'd kill my self is if I somehow woke up and found myself looking like PEE-WEE Herman-. Then it would be time.
