I have but am not comfortable sharing what I did... I wouldn't want to give anyone an idea they may not have thought about....

Suicide is a permantent solution to a tmporary problem

It is the wrong choice, however one that that we all understand.

Tried it once when I was sixteen, to young to know how to do it sucessfully!

It wont happen again though I've taken the choice away, my kids need their mum.x

I've never attempted it beck, but I have lost friends because of it. From the outside looking in? It hurts. It hurts like hell to lose those so precious to you, and know that there was nothing that could be done to stop it. All I can say is think about what and who is being left behind and the possibilities of a brighter future. There is always hope. :o)

I tried it by overdosing on Prozac. My ex took me to the hospital and they pumped my stomach. I'm glad that I didn't succeed at that selfish act. Because if I had, my children would be parentless. My childrens dad passed away a few years after I did that one selfish thing. So what would have happened to them if I had succeeded. I won't ever let myself get that selfish again. No way. I have lots of problems but that wasn't the solution.

what has you feeling so down?

it is one of the worst mistakes you can make. please talk about your problems.

**triggers**

yes, I have made 2 serious attempts. First time, I drank something I shouldn't have... made me sick as a dog. Parents didn't believe I was sick, so I had to do every day things. @nd attempt would have done it if my dad wasn't a responsibile gun owner. I found one of his hand guns & put it to my throat & pulled the trigger.

1. Poured petrol over myself and tried to light a match
2. Tried to cut to death
3. Od'ed on citalopram and temazepam
4. Od'ed on paracetamol, prozac and temazepam.
And I will never try it again.

I made one serious attempt which got me attached to a life support machine, and got a severe lung infection from trying to pull a tube out of my lung.But, the worst part was finding my Aunt(who raised me rather than my mother)when she was dead after she committed suicide.I just don't think anything is so bad to to put those we love through so much mourning and devastation and anguish.Your family and friends will never,ever not be tormented by the memory of your life and your death.
However,it is not fair either for YOU to be in so much pain.And you are not crazy to be feeling this bad--unfortunately,a lot of people do too.But most get through it,and so can you.That is why I truly hope you see a therapist and a psychiatrist, and if you are on meds that are currently not working, try others, and combos of meds:many people don't get onto the right med for their individual chemistry for 5 tries, a few even longer.There is all the hope that you'll get well in the world for you--even if it's impossible to feel that now.Also, if you'd ever like to talk to someone,if it would help you,feel welcome to call me. Stay with us.

i think about it a lot.
did a half-hearted attempt a few months back with ambient and limoncello (lemon liquour).

here's how i work through it:
i made myself a promise i'd never put the folks through the pain of losing another child.
when my brother passed three years ago i watched the anguish my parents suffered.
i know they still feel the pain.
they've been so good to me, helped me out financically and spiritually, always there, always supportive, i can't imagine doing that to them.
about 10 years ago, when i was in the worst state of my life, i know my folks were horrified at how i lived and where i might be headed.
so, i made that promise. i may think about it, i may imagine the bliss of dreamless sleep, of being released from my burdens, but i won't follow through with it.
i won't do that to my parents. they don't deserve it.

ah you ask - they're old. what happens when they're gone?
well - there's my son.

so i guess my advise is find one reason, any reason, why you would not follow through.
and make yourself a promise to respect that one reason.

we're not terminally ill, we're not without hope.
it's just our hope is a fainter light than all those polly-annas who walk around whistling in the mall.
wtf?
whistling?
anyway - remember that the last thing left in pandora's box after all the evil and badness flew out oif it was - hope.
and the last thing we have to cling to every day is hope.
find one reason.
make the promise.
hope.
