Suicide

[PlasmaTwa2]

A) Just give it some time. Things will change for you.
B) No, no you can't quote Lethal Weapon. Or, any other Danny Glover movie for that matter. Well, unless it's that one movie with the elephant in it. You know, the one with Ray Liotta? Operation: Dumbo Drop, I believe? Yeah, that one. You can quote that one.

A) I have been told that so many times. I was also told to give it three months to see if my life would improve. That was five months ago.
B) Can you get me some more of that water buffalo tranquilizer?

I was going thru the WORST time in my life about 2 years ago and contemplated it for like 2 mins, but a little therapy (its the best $ I ever spent and believe me, I was one of those dudes who thought therapy was for losers!) but it was there that i learned that simple things like concentrating on your work and walking for miles on a beach with your favorite CD on your Ipod can work wonders!!:thumbsup:

We all have been in ruff times and we all need help some times. but letting your life go is not an answer. If you ever are on the edge heres what you should do:

talk to friends
talk to a therapist
take meds.

Donot ever give your life away because life is beautiful..

It was being on the meds that made me consider it.

Have considered it (I'm ashamed to say), and have had two friends actually commit the deed.

Horrible topic, but I appreciate the thread (if you all know what I mean) .

I was really embarrassed to say, but given that others here have been brave (and honest) enough to admit so, I too should confess. Yes, I did attempt it once; a heavy overdose of paracetamol and ibuprofen; the effects took a couple of hours to kick-in but I ended up ejecting (throwing up) the remnants. Really horrible to describe I realize, but quite a lot of blood also as it damages both the liver and stomach lining. The body's natural response though is to throw it up...Horrible night and didn't eat properly for a few days after (no appetite).

I have been hospitalized twice. Both times for suicidal thoughts. One time was before I made an attempt. I had been contemplating for about a half an hour about jumping into a frigid ass Michigan river in April. Nobody was around and just as I made up my mind too do it, a guy came out of nowhere with his little boy. There was no way I was going to traumatize that little boy. Somehow I made it to my dads house and I just broke down into an incoherent blubbering idiot untill he got me to the hospital. I spent about three weeks in the ward that time. A few months later I made an unsuccessful attempt at suffocating myself and was hospitalized for about a month after a friend found me the next day. I made another attempt to hang myself about two years later but the cord I used snapped. I never went in for that one but I could barely speak for about two weeks afterwards.

I had been in a severe depression for about a year and a half leading up to all of this going down. I have always been a big athletic guy, going about 225 lbs. I had quit my job and did almost nothing for about 9 months and ballooned up to 350 lbs. I didn't go see friends or leave the house except to go get groceries or take my grandmother to her appointments. Finally I ended up homeless and saw no other way out. But when you hit bottom you can either bounce back or take the easy way out. I chose too take the easy way but got damned lucky that it isn't always so easy.

I am still not back to where I want to be but I'm very happy to not be in that place anymore. Yes life can suck but in hind sight it sure as shit beats the alternative.

@RedW^^Jumping into a river was the route I was going to take also, but I couldn't do it and went for the OD instead .

Whoever told you to give it three months is a fucking moron. There's no timeline when it comes to emotional health. Shit, my ex-girlfriend dumped my ass like 8 years ago, but it still hurts. Pain never goes away; you just learn how to deal with it. How long does it take in order for someone to learn how to cope with pain? Nobody knows. It varies from individual to individual, which is why anybody who puts a timeline on emotional health is a moron.

You know that phrase, "time heals all wounds"...??? Well, it's not the time itself that heals the wounds; it's the emotional strength that you build during that time.

B) Can you get me some more of that water buffalo tranquilizer?

I'm going to watch that entire movie just to see if this is an actual line from it. Eh, actually...no, no I'm not.

I suffered/suffer from depression all my life

I do to, that's why I come to freeones. Free porn makes me feel better.

 

[wigster]

Never have and i never will

 

[skechers]

Nah. And I think, even if I was miserable in my life right now, I'd want to see where it goes no matter what. Anything could happen.

I went through a bout with depression, about two years long. I think the key is trying to MAKE things right. Not waiting for everything to just work its self out.

 

[mrtrebus]

Never considered a 'suicide solution' myself.

 

[Legzman]

Yea, I've tossed the idea around in my head once...
