We could all say, get help. Talk to someone. Go on medication.

Probably not the best solution. People could get dependant on that ****.

Drunk or sober? I've dealt with people who become suicidal drunk, but not sober people.

It works for some and for some it doesn't. I know a few people who are on anti-depressants, and they seem to work just fine for them; contrasting to what you hear in the news and whatnot.

Also, if you find it midday, send it to me =)

I'm already dependent on my anxiety medication.

I was merely implying that most people deal with it by telling the person to go on medication or to talk to someone.
It'll help you, they think.

Life is pointless, everything we do is insubstantial. I realize this.

But as long as I'm on this plane of existence sandwiched between unknowns, I might as well have some fun with it.

until i am inevitably snuffed out by a lung collapse or being too metal, of course

I have never considered suicide - or I should say, I have contemplated the nature of suicide, but I have never actively decided it was a good idea. Sixty years is nothing, and there's nothing especially painful about reality that I can't be happy with it on a day to day basis. No point rushing death when it'll definitely happen. I'm comfortable where I am.

I've thought about suicide, or rather, thought about being dead, but I've never sought any means to commit suicide.

My only advice would be: don't kill yourself. Suicide is a very permanent solution to temporary problems.

I think about it whenever mom is mad at me, whenever someone at school picks on me, or when my teachers are being jerks. I don't know why, but talking to a friend helps a lot. Haku and Fant talked me out of it quite a few times. It is the easy way out, but it's a bad way. Live on, make friends, and try to be happy. Don't force yourself to live a life of solitude.

PS - Don't do it, if you feel like you are going to, talk to someone about what is bugging you. I suggest a close friend in which you trust.

Thanks to Midday and Sarajane for your lengthy contributions that I learned stuff from. I am especially appreciative Midday for sharing some of your reasons. And thanks to everyone else who made a thoughtful statement.

And to the person who said something along the lines of "if you can think about killing yourself and then laugh at yourself at how silly and stupid that would be, you're probably fine.": I have done that before, but it didn't always guarantee my safety. In the past, I've felt myself both laugh at myself and pity myself for being so stupid. Other times, I felt like I really needed to carry through with it.

And I'll admit that at one point last year I was a wimp and threatened a person or two with no intention of actually killing myself. It was a cowardly thing to do that was only for attention. Earlier this year, though, I did it again, but I was actually serious about it. And I discussed it with several of my friends who tried to help counsel me through it. I bargained with them and didn't find their arguments as compelling as mine. I ended up scheduling it the day after a major dance in order to give myself one more opportunity to change my mind, but instead I called it off about a month earlier. So I didn't actually come that close in time, because I made sure I scheduled it way off in the distance so as to give myself more time to think, but I had researched it online and had planned it out exactly.

I won't share my reasons for wanting to do it, other than the fact that I believe some of my crucial weaknesses are malignant and can never be solved, but here are reasons why I failed:
-gaining admission to a good college. I didn't feel it would be right to waste the great opportunity at a good career that I had been given. Had that university not admitted me, I'd probably be dead today.
-eurobeat and some other music. They symbolize for me how amazing life can be and how the realm of opportunities is virtually endless for the average person.

...which means that a gain in self esteem had little to do with my overturning of my decision, and self esteem is something I will really have to work hard to gain in college in order to stay emotionally healthy.

I Listen to some optimistic music or music that empowers you like Behemoth although that may be too extreme for some their lyrics make you feel like if your a god something especially their song conquer all

Your welcome. You used to be in my top16 in my previous account. 3-4 years ago.

Unfortunately, I won't get into a good college. That's one reason nullified for me. =/

Re: Have you ever felt suicidal? If so, how did you get over it? If not, how would yo

Basiclly most people who talk about it do it for sympathy and attention.

Bottom line.

If you are going to suicide, do it. If you can't do it, then turn around and move on.
Those who endorse that they are going to suicide are just putting up a show.

It does depend on the person. I had a friend of mine nearly go for it but then he would. He's afraid he might screw up and live. That's why he don't try.

Meh, I, as a self-classified lonely person, think that attention is necessary to deal with things sometimes. I, as a self-classified weak person, can't just turn around and move on. =l

Re: Have you ever felt suicidal? If so, how did you get over it? If not, how would yo

Disdaining oneself is one thing, but begging for attention after some "pitiful" self proclamation is a whole new load of injustice.

This is only a matter of opinions, seeing how the internet is saturated by people who find merit receiving the condolences of others.

No offense intended.

Suicide isn't something anyone should do. It's like euthanasia, but you're doing it to yourself. There might be some kind of turning point in your life that might change your mind on suicide. If you ever feel pain, there are many solutions, such as optimism.

I'm pretty sure everyone here felt suicidal at least once in their life. I did as well, but I gave myself a second chance. Also, because of my own fear of death.

For me, my main reason why I may feel suicidal is because of reality and corruption in this world that avoids perfection in this world. It's what everyone wants, and would love to reject reality and stay in their own utopia. We have to understand that this will never happen. We have to deal with our emotions and think of other solutions based on our morals.
