TweetI have never thought about killing myslef, I could never do it.

Tweetive thought about it many times in high school I even started to plan in out but not so much any more!

Tweeti thought of it a couple of times when I thought I was losing everything, family, school, girl, job, everything. I felt like crap and lost shitloads of weight and energy.

Tweetplease no one kill urself, if u want to please put me in your will. THANKS

TweetTrip -- You had the best post in the whole thread. Genuine understanding of the motivating factors when one takes their own life. Depression is nasty to live through, either for yourself or watching a loved one deal with it. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

TweetNicely said, Trip.
Unfortunately some people are too proud to go for help & ultimately keep nose diving into a very deep, dark hole.
Eventually, there is no turning back & nothing can stop them from wanting to end the pain.
It is preventable if they get the proper medications to correct the brain chemicals which have been upset by depression & stress.
There is no shame in going for confidential help.
The only people that need to know you're on a med to help you over a hump with depression are the ones you decide to tell.

TweetI have never once considered it!! Nothing could possibly be that bad in my mind to want to resort to suicide!!

TweetIt's never crossed my mind either.
Life's a gift & goes by in a flash as it is..
That's why, if you need help.. go for it.

God helps those who help themselves.

Tweeti used to do alot of ecstacy and i would have what they called suicied monday u just feel really depress and u dont want to live because all ur brain will let u think about r the bad things

TweetOh Jeeze, MYRICK.
I did a research paper on ecstasy a couple of years ago because an online friend of mine is a raver & he was wayyy to into it..
It's actually how I met my study buddy {Brian} because he was doing a chemistry research paper on some brain chemical and we ended up becoming friends.
Anyway, we got to see a guys brain scan who had been using ecstasy for awhile on weekends & it was pretty disturbing.
Brian also was into raving & took me to a rave so I could experience it & I can definately see why it's so appealing
It's amazing how many people are under the impression that it's a safe drug & think that it doesn't do permanent brain damage.

I hope you've had a heart to heart talk with your physician.

FYI,

Hate to disagree, yet, it is not an issue of "weak mindedness"
Quite the opposite, most folks that ultimately do commite suicide have been dealing with EXTREME emotions that are overwhelming and they have been gutting it out, a true test of strength for months to years. Typically what happesn is one straw just breaks their back, and a decision is made in the depths of extreme depression that is irreversable.

Again, typically this is an issue of chemical imbalance in the brain that has nothing whatsoever to do with a persons character.

If you have never expereinced such feelings or have not done any research in the field these are sometimes difficult concepts to understand.

Suicide is typically preceeded by depression. Depression is the complete lack of joy in one's life all the time. Imagine day in and day out having no good feelings, only overwhelmingly bad ones, that do not go away, no matter what you do and try. When a person exeperinces these feelings the last thing they do is express them to another person, No. 1 because most folks have no idea what is happening to them, and No. 2 when they do express their feeelings the typical response they get is "suck it up" and of course they are sucking it up more then ever before, and it is not working, so sucking it up just adds to the feelings of hopelessness.

Fortunatley like everything in life the progress and knowledge in the issues have jumped 10 fold in the last twenty years. More people are getting help than ever before.

It is sad and unfortunate that the legacy of suicide exists in many familys, that often creates feelings of fear in the offspring, due to the fact the situation is painful and confusing, and their is so much mis-information about the issue.

Unfortunately back then, ignorance had a high price, death, today as a whole, individuals, families and societies are much more informed and better able to help.

This thread is such an example.

Trip I agree with you on some parts. My old man has chemical imbalance (bi polar). Before he was on meds. he was wacked out/ drugged out. I just think about my friend hanging himself over a girl. Seeing his family and friends suffer really makes me mad. I guess it is like they say you dont know util you have walked in thier shoes, but that is what keeps me going. If I think I have it bad I just look around. someone always has it alot worse.
