when your in so much pain you cant hande it you just wanna get rid of it even if it means ending your life not for attention but some people do it for attention which is sick=[

I don't think all the time it is.

My attempt was very spur of the moment....wasn't really thinking about doing it but saw a bottle of pills sitting there and opened it and poured them in my mouth and tried to swallow all of them at the same time because of the extreme emotional pain I was in....I choked...coughed some out but swallowed most of them. After I had realized what I had done, I got help and was rushed to ER then to the mental hospital for a week.

I realized after that it would have been permanent solution to a temporary problem and I am so glad I didn't die.

I do think when people come here and post it, they want to be talked out of it or they would not post, they would just do it. I am glad they post so the help can be given, but it's a fine line....not much anyone can do here but type out words and hope it gets through, but it does leave an emotional mark on those who try to help.

I hope that made sense lol...meds are kicked in.

I believe that suicial attempts are for real but needing attention is also real it hurts to be all alone. Maybe it's just some peoples way of reaching out for the help they need. I guess noone really knows what goes on in someone else's head

Well said Enkidu

it is just the pain. my sister killed herself and i really think she wanted to live but her pain was just so bad. she told us she was going to do it and we didn't believe her. this is why when someone tells me they will take their life i sit up and take notice. it may be attention seeking but how can i know?

Um, yay and nay. There are some times when I SAY fuck, I've had enough, and some times I really think yeah, I've really had enough of this shit. And no-one would know the difference, as I think it is for a lot of people. Some times you can verbalise it. The really worrying times are when you cannot.

Personally, I think there are way better ways than crying suicide to get attention...I really don't think my boyfriend downed his adavan, ran away from the ER after I took him there, hid from them the cops for hours, ended up going back to the hospital with the cops by force, stopped breathing on the table, spent two days in MICU before he woke up...for attention. Nope...he really wanted to die. I almost lost my soulmate...my daughter almost lost her daddy.

i think sometimes it is and sometimes it isnt with me i am just so far into my depression that i have tried to kill myself so many times now but you know everyone has good days and bad days but some people really want to die but something always gets in the way

nope!

I dont think all are.

Not sure at all but as i have mentioned befor, if i ever decide to use suicide as a way out, I wont be announcing it on here. Lisa

well said Lisa.
If i'm going out, i'll make sure no one finds me before or knows of my intentions before hand.
Why announce it unless you want to stay and it is a cry for help or put members/friends in turmoil who are already fighting their own demons when we have no power to stop you.
