They will know and they will care. They may not show it. Majority of people don't know how to take suicidal people, and their discomfort guides their actions and reactions. They don't understand, nor seek to understand. Such thoughts are too dark for them, inconceivable. So, they don't conceive and will shrug suicidal people off.

I even saw this in the ER. I was treated like a pariah. For countless hours, nobody spoke to me. "He's just a sad man going through a rough time." Nothing more.

Unfortunately, I think it takes one to know one. You either believe there are things in life worse than death or you don't. There's the great divide.

I survived three bona fide attempts across three days. Yeah, I sincerely wanted to die. But I didn't. Two boxes of sleeping pills didn't kill me, one containing twenty-four, and the other containing forty-eight, including copious amounts of alcohol. Day one was a mixture of 9 mg of Xanax, sleeping pills, and alcohol. The proceeding day is a black spot -- like being roofied. Not fun.

I spent four days and three nights in a community based clinic. Scary and also not fun.

I am a changed person. I choose to live life. Yeah, there's tons of bullshit but I see it for what it is: games. I'm a full blown functional drunk -- better than being dead, I suppose. I choose to live life and go on adventures. I can't say I've hit rock bottom, but I take pleasure in the little things. Life isn't so bad. The paintings in the frames of the house burning down are beautiful. There is beauty within the dark.

Every moment has become precious and my own. Choose to live life. Live for nobody else for you. The meaning of live is whatever you want your life to mean. It is your own special little gift. Given to you by whom? Does it matter? It is yours to do with what you see fit.

Please don't commit suicide. My wife committed suicide because of her depression and BPD and it devastated me, her parents, and all her friends.

If you feel you really are in danger of taking your own life, take yourself to the local ER and check yourself into the voluntary psych ward, Being suicidal is grounds for admittance to the psych ward, and that is the usual treatment for suicidal thoughts. There they can rediagnose you, work out your meds, and get you into an outpatient aftercare hopefully that can help you to pick up the pieces.


It may seem hard now. But then I think back to all of the times I was suicidal before and how it's gotten so much better since and I know it was for the best that I stayed alive.

I have suicide idealation before too, Now I don't.Thanks for the medicien. I have to get massages everyweek. to feel better. I know teenagers are vunerable to depression. It will get better.

I have been here a long time most of that time suicidal. But it will get better, the feeling will pass, try to hang on, i have used the hotlines to call and they help, just talking...

try to find a different purpose other than suicide, you cant change ppl, those that dont care will not care if you die either so live for yourself and satisfy your needs and stop caring about others in time they will seek your attention because they see you are happy just living for your purpose and your satisfactions instead of what you believe they want you to live for.

anyways if you or anyone ever feels the need to talk just drop a line i usually respond objectively and try to listen to everyone to see if through listening i can further help my own depressions and battle my own demons and isolation.
