you do realize that suicide is selfish and overrated?

please hang on & talk with people here... you deserve better than suicide

I'm not meaning to be mean.... but I've been there and been dead and it's much better to be alive

I know Cap... just sometimes the lies death promise can seem so alluring.

ElCapitan, if I didn't realise it was selfish why would I be worried about how my family will cope, if all you have is anger and horrible things to say then leave it out of here. Jesus what the hell is wrong with people like you!? There is a human being behind these screen names you know!

wanna start over? cuz I'm really not trying to be mean...

i think about it almost everyday for the last 25 years. yes there are good days but mostly bad ones. i've tried and failed theres nothing worse than what you are feeling. but take it from one who has been there, as others who are on this site you still have feelings. if you take that next step there are no more feelings not here anyway. even if there's the smallest of chance's why not take it. what if this is that there is
. don;\'t give upwe are here.

I won't tell you that you are selfish cause i'm sure thats the last thing you want to hear....but believe me I understand... we can support eachother on reasons to stay around...oh believe me , I've thought that I have wanted to escape....as a matter of fact this weekend was a bad one for me....hang in there hun...we'll hang in there together!

I've thought about it before but this time it's more of a contemplation, maybe knowing I'm capable of it is just like a safety net, I've done that before put a load of pills by my side when I felt really bad just incase it got worse and I needed a way out, are these thoughts just a safety net or could it happen?

To you who has suicidal thoughts...I have said this to other people on here, and I think this is important.

Please get help. I have had the suicide spirit follow me for days on end, and yes it sounded like sweet relief, but I was able to shake it off, and never got serious thank God.

You have no idea what a BAD idea suicide is. My brother committed suicide almost one year ago. 11/17/06...I can't believe the anniversary is coming up so fast. When I got the call just before 4 in the morning, I had sounds coming out of me that I never made before. I was so loud, I ran outside so that my children wouldn't wake to such awful sounds coming from me. As someone who has been HURT by suicide, I say to you to do whatever you need to do to shake it. Go to the ER, call the National Suicide Hotline. Something. I'll give you my home number if you like. Life is so much more than all the things we worry about, like being skinny, getting more money, finding love. I am glad you have said that you have a family that loves you (by the fact that you would want their forgiveness). So, that last one is already started - you have people to love you.

You are meant to be here. You are meant to do and say things here on this earth. But most of all, you have no idea what it will do to those you have left behind. Anyone can talk to me about this, and I will give them all the time of day that they want. But most of all: Everyone wonders if those who commit suicide ever said anything first. YES. They do. My brother mentioned it to me during the last year he was alive. I can't tell you how much I miss him. How much I just want to talk to him...And yes he had problems but that wasn't the answer - not the correct answer. Not the good answer. I can't believe I have to live something like 30-40 more years here without him..... PS: I realized what those sounds were coming out of me when I got the call about my brother's suicide. It was the sound of crying with all my heart. I guess I'd never really done that before. Again, please get help with those suicidal thoughts. I care about you!! Please don't do it.

Think about a year ago today. Weren't things different? Well things will be different a year from today. And you don't know what wonderful things you'll miss out on. Don't let the suicide spirit whisper in your ear. You're better than that ending!

I can tell you more things that it will do to your family.... but you tell me if you want to know.

Again, I send out a big {{hug}} to you and tell you please, put it out of your head and make GOOD plans with your life. You are a precious person and SO WORTH IT!!!!!

i too have been there, and attempted, and failed, and am glad i failed.

you are worth every breath you take, there is ALWAYS hope - don't forget that.

and i have to say, the most horrid pain that your family will ever feel will be if you take your life. do you really want to put them through that? i KNOW you don't.

Well said Trying2Be.

Please - no suicide. Don't you just want to feel better? There are other ways to feel better & you WILL find them.

My mother killed herself when I was 15 leaving behind 6 kids & a wonderful husband.
She had a tough life but things got better, the kids grew up & my father re-married & had a peaceful happy life with another woman for the next 25 years until his passing. Those years could have been hers.

Please listen to us survivors.

We all want you to live.

so everyone know what an asshole I am... I pmed her and we discussed this topic... and I apologize to her ..

Yes ElCapitan and I just got off on the wrong foot, he's a good guy, big mouth but a good guy :)

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone I may not be cured but things are in better perspective.

I know the feeling... been there, tried it and fail ( 3 times) ...thank the Lord I did. I'm scared myself because those thoughts have been creeping back in but I keep shoving them away.
Like the others have said.. things will get better.
