If not, have you ever really, really wanted to? If i get really, really drunk and take all the benzos I have, I think I would succeed. I'm in such a dark place and I'm not sure I see a way out. The only thing that is stopping me is hurting the few family members I have left. And sometimes ... don't know if I should let that stop me. Sorry. Don't worry about me. Curious if any of you have ever tried.
Hey Ethel. Damn, I'm sorry to hear that. I've never thought about suicide. I'm way too selfish and love life.
I always think if one is suicidal, and willing to lose everything, then why not just do something really crazy, since you don't care anyway? I mean, like have sex with a really big ugly black guy or something. Or sky dive. You get my point?
I was depressed for like almost 10 years different levels of depression or so and it got worse and worse in 2010 and 2011, and in 2011 in October I think it was it came to the stage where I seriously thought that things could never change and that I didn't want to go on if they weren't.
Now I had had suicidal thoughts for years whenever something went wrong I would think to myself "I should just kill myself" almost like a tick but I never got to that stage where I actually thought that I would go all the way with it.
But when it finally did I decided to actually call for help about my depression cause I felt like I'm not gonna kill myself unless I at least give antidepressants a try or counseling or whatever.
And I got an appointment from a counselor and I got alot of baggage out and eventually started taking antidepresants and surely but slowly (very slowly) I started get my hope back again and slowly started to try to change my habits that were making me feel that way.
I learned to like myself and respect myself and that in term made me more likeable and respectable to others.
I've still had my setbacks from time to time of course but I'm definitly feeling alot better than I did then, maybe better than ever.
Laura's had a big impact on me as well for staying strong of course.
I think that you should look into seeing a counselor and taking antidepressants (if you're not doing that already) things really can change for the better I'm an example of that, it won't happen overnight and you have to do all of the work yourself but it's worth it. You're worth it .
There is always a way out. You may not see it clearly now but it is there. Sometimes it just takes a change of some sort. Get yourself another perspective as it were. Take a hike or bike ride or whatever but you have to get out of your normal routine. You have to break the cycle of thought that gets you thinking those kinds of thoughts.
It always breaks my heart to see others suffer so much to the point where they want to end their life. I went through a pretty long period of depression in my teens/20s where I was so mired in it that I used to go to bed at night with only one thought in my mind - that perhaps tomorrow would be the day that I don't wake up. It always gave me something to look forward to. I maintained an air of bubbliness and joy on the outside, but on the inside I wished for an end to my suffering. The weird thing is, all that fake happiness is probably what wound up preventing me from ever getting beyond the point of fantasizing about suicide to actually planning it. The act I was putting on for others made it so that I didn't isolate enough to get lost in those thoughts. The universe always seems to have a way of straightening things out for us. Keep talking about it though. The worst thing you can do is to be a secret.
