I am asking this question only because I truly want to know. I do not want it to cause anybody and triggers (although I do not think it will) Ok my question is: What is the longest anyone has been seriously suicidal? I have been for about a year and I feel like I should just do it b/c I have been thinking about it for so long. How can a person go on year after year with such an awful feeling always on your mind?

i'd been thinking about suicide consistently since I was about 13 just courage I was lacking. Doesn't neccessarily mean you'll do it so please don't dwell on it, it will get better x

When I was a teenager, probably went 4 years I was very bad pretty much day in, day out. I only survived because my suicidal attempts I fucked up.

Have you seen a doctor? How about a therapist? Are you on any meds?

Irishluv, I am getting a lot of help and it is better in some ways but i still have that feeling.

Depends on what you mean. I'm not sure I've ever actively considered suicide, but since my teens I'd figured I'd die via doing something stupid -- too much drink, too much drugs, whatever. And I do wonder if, should I become irreversably ill and a burden, would I have the courage to end it.

Idly for about 4 years. Seriously for the last 3. Planned for the coming year.

Three stages that you can go through. A lot of people at some stage may go through the first. The second and you need professional help. The third and nothing can be done.

you need to explain this to a professional and they should be able to prescribe meds. The meds help emmensley!!!Good luck and NP don't take your life...Help yourself so you can experience clusters of days, weeks and even months without feeling suicidal.

I hope you feel better real soon

you know something Katie, I have always thought about mountain climbing too, but I don't plan on doing that either due to my health. But, thinking and acting out are two different thinks. Sucidal Idealation and Intent are two different things. The feelings come and go. This too shall pass.

I am on a lot of meds.
