I'm not certain why you would ask that question. Would you expect one of your friends to actually say yes? Mary is absolutely right. It's a permanent solution to temporary problems, and it would devastate your family and friends.
I believe that you were recently in a treatment facility. Did they give you some mindfulness exercises to use when you begin feeling like ODing?
In general, the practice of mindfulness involves observing your thoughts without buying into them. Your thoughts are just that -- thoughts -- and not necessarily the truth. So, using mindfulness, if you have the thought, "I should kill myself," you can then observe, "I just had the thought that I should kill myself." If you believe the thought, you might tell yourself, "I am believing the thought that I should kill myself." These small changes in wording shift the focus from a supposed truth ("I should kill myself.") to a thought or belief, which may or may not be true.
And, your thought/belief ISN'T true. Of course, you shouldn't OD! Instead of constantly dwelling on suicide, I would encourage you to focus on getting to the root of what continues to cause you pain. For the most part, you have refused to share with us why you're hurting, or much about you/your past. So, when you come online with these posts threatening suicide, we're left wondering what we can do to help, praying you don't go through with the latest plan, and waiting for the next similar post two weeks later. Please consider allowing us -- or better yet -- a therapist, psychiatrist, or your mom -- into your life, so that we can actually help. Life is so totally worth living, and it saddens me that you spend so much of your time thinking about dying. I'm praying for your happiness! Hugs, Judy

NO!
Why are you asking, BTW.
That is a very permanent solution to a temporary issue.
There is just no way you are constantly down. There has to be good times in there somewhere!

Please get help. I have tried to help you, but as Laybug7 said, you are shutting people out. She has said it so well. Hugs and prayers my friend
