I was just reading some of the discussions on suicide attempts and how people only do it for attention. I myself, have had many thoughts of hurting myself because I felt so low and felt that there was no way out. Ive gone as far as planning things out but in the end I realized that killing myself wasnt the answer. Ive been through it two different times and each time there is some sort of sign that tells me not to go through with it. I did not plan things out for attention. I planned things out because I had reached a point where I felt so bad and I didnt think that I could ever feel good again and death seemed like the only option. I still have days where I feel bad and think that death might be the only way to end the pain that I feel. As for people who post it on here, they probably need someone to turn to. They are probably afraid and ashamed to tell family and friends because they fear they wont understand them. Posting on here often helps those people cope because they know that others on the site can related to how they feel. When certain people feel the need to post threads about suicideand how its for attention, many people will feel that they cant come to the site and post how they feel. Daily strength is supposed to be for support..not bashing people for feeling the way they do.
