Anyone here attempted suicide?

[JuanBolio]

That's a very tasteless thing to post in this thread. Please leave if you have nothing constructive to add.

Other than the sympathy I've already offered, you mean? I only posted it because msbae was curious and because Kail was giving me a hard time. Not to shock or offend anyone.

Its amusing to those with a dark sense of humor. If it will please you, I'll convert it to a link.

When I was a 80lb teenager and always picked on in highschool, I thought about it once or twice.
But then I got to thinking If I do it all those asshole who drove me towards it win.
so Fuck them I didn't do it.

I win.!!!

I was trying to be sincere and supportive. I don't know what your problem is with me, but knock it off. I haven't hurt you in any way. Lighten up a little, huh?
Here's the picture anyway, to ease the minds of curious parties:

No, you have not hurt me, but I get weary of your act. And it is an act. I've known many people like yourself, some of them good friends. I believe your probably a good person, but you feel the need to shock and awe. It's a cry for attention. "Look at me, look how outrageous I am. I'm unconventional, and dark." You do everything you can to evoke a reaction from people, so you can stand out. All anyone has to do is read any of your posts, or bio. You pride yourself on being "out there". As I said, it doesn't make you a bad person, and I believe I've always been very civil to you in our few encounters, maybe a bit dismissive, but as I said before, I'm just a bit weary of the show.

Not to shock or offend anyone.

That is EXACTELY why you'd post this here. You WANT to shock and offend. That's what humors you.

 

[JuanBolio]

You know what, nevermind. Its a petty thing to argue about. I'm not gonna get drawn into it.

Who's to say he wasn't that guy in the drawing?

Do no click this link if you are easily offended and or lack a dark sense of humor: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v222/JuanBolio/headinjury3.jpg

I've seen far worse than that...

i haven't personally but my partner tried several times a few years before we dated, she was going through the relationship from hell a boy (can't call him a man not from what he did) she was involved with was a real control freak would demand his dinner on the table when he got in do the house work if he found something wrong he'd beat her that kind of crap the first time she tried he waited until she got out of hospital and started again.
at the time me and her were friends from work anyways in the end i took her to her parents house and told her to stay put.
she's never stopped telling me what a fool she was. took a lot of healing both emotionally and physically to get her well again

Well, since I am partly involved in this thread I feel sort of obligated to defend JB here. I felt and still feel very sincerly touched by his gesture not to post the pic after my post. Yeah, so he did it after- when others requested it. But the initial respons was way better than you give him credit for. Most likely tainted by other times you guys have interacted, but here I suggest you cut him some slack.

Short answer: yes, twice.

Longer story: I tried to drink myself to death, followed a month or two later by downing an entire box of not-strong-enough sleeping pills. It was senior year of college (2001). I had come out six months before, facing the prospect of moving back home without a job. Drowning in responsibility and people constantly needing me for every little thing. I couldn't get the time of day from anyone I was remotely interested it. Finally said F It the night of the Oscars.

A friend of mine stayed with me through the puking and really bad night. She had taken the sleeping pills from me that night and I took them back. It was a Wednesday in either April or May-Voyager's "Friendship One" was on. I took them when I got back from work, laid down on the couch and expected to never wake up. I did, obviously, ready to pass out for the rest of the day. But I did wake up.

This is all fairly common knowledge with the people who know me, save the parents. The more we talk about suicide, the less of a "boogey man" it turns out to be and the easier it is for the people who come after us to talk about these types of feelings.

I tried to crash my car once but I wasn't a very good driver at the time and I failed.

No, I'm not joking and yes, it is kind of funny, I know.

Well comedy is just failed tragedy. I think it is good to joke about it afterwards because it helps you emotionally release some of those darker memories.

 

[Kestra]

I haven't, but I have to admit I've come far too close. I've gone through some pretty dark periods of my life, and often when I look back over the last decade, it seems like the bright spots are overtaken by the shadows.

The one thing that has always stopped me, even if at the last second, is remembering how I felt after someone close to me committed suicide. There have been times where I've felt things will never get better, and that those around me would be better off without me in their lives. But I know how much pain there is for those left behind after a suicide, and when it comes down to it I don't think I could ever hurt my loved ones like that.

For what it's worth, I'm so glad that all of you posting in this thread are still around, and that we can even have this discussion.

 

[RJDiogenes]

^^ I agree. It's horrifying to think how many people out there take their own lives, and I'm very happy that our members here have managed to survive their darkest hours. And I'm very proud of them for Posting their stories here, and very possibly saving somebody else's life.

I had a cousin do the same thing, drove his car off an embankment and into the ocean. He was saved by a passerby.

When I heard about it, I was really pissed off. The good samaritan could have drowned trying to save his dumb ass. I have since become more sensitive.

 

[darkshadow0001]

The thought has occured but I would never attempt it. I get a lot of mood swings for various reasons but the worst I would do is lock myself up and shun myself away from the people I know, but I would never attempt suicide for some reason.

Well I wasn't going to do that.

[mr.peany]

Yes, in August of last year. Drug overdose. Easily the worst day of my life, triggered by a series of events that I have discussed on this BBS. Depression is a partner that i've been married to longer than I can remember.

Atleast once a week...For real though um twice and I lived...God must have different plans for more and then there were time I should have died...wreckless behavior and lived...who knows? I wish I were dead sometimes and then I just want life to kinda go my way a bit...I struggle with why am I here??? Right now life sucks...it could be worse, but it isn's what I want. As long as we are all alive we should count our blessings...right?
