Anyone harmed themselves?

Post Reply New Topic

Anyone has ever tried to take their own lives whether as a child, teen or as adults?

I have thought about it numerous times.

No, i see it useless......

Only wanted my pain to go away. I took 10 200mg seroquel pills and fell into deep pieceful sleep. But i woke up in the hospital. So i consider this as a suicide attempt.
I still have a life this painful that i think about death almost every day, but i do not want to end my possibilities to a better life.

I did when I was 22. It was a bad time in my life. Also did self harm.

Most important thing to remember is that there is nothng shameful about those thoughts or actions. And if you don't feel you can reach out to your friends or family there ARE other third parties that are capable of being there. Wrong Planet is one... but there are crisis lines in most areas, as well as volunteer counsellors. I see your quite young so if you still go to school there may be avenues open to you there. That's where I got my help from, a university counsellor who put me onto a psych.

Anyhow. to get back on topic.. yes. And I hope everything is okay with you. I, along with others, are here to listen if you need to say anything and get it off your chest.

Yes, I had one minor attempt last year. I also think about suicide a lot actually for many years (most of my life), the only times it doesn't cross my mind is when I am manic.

I've wanted to on many occasions since I was about eight.I ended up in a psychiatric ward for teens due to attempts and harming myself.things are a lot better now and I'm happy for the first time in years but its always there in the back of my mind even at times like this.

I believe that if I didn't have learning disability or aspergers that I would be a much happier and more positive person than I am now. I thought that I came from outer space. I honestly believe that no one in my family loves me even though they say they do. I think some members of my family wishes I was never alive. I have had dreams where my life is happy and successful. If I didn't have these learning issues, I would be making much more money, be married, have children, and just be more happier and enjoying my life. No one on dad's or mom's side of the family has LD or aspergers. ALL of my cousins are so happy and have great careers and a family of their own. I'm a worthless loser. I have asked God to please take me home into his kingdom. I never harmed myself, but have thoughts of it. I did go to the ER once because I called up the mental health outline and told them I wanted to drive my car off the road. I didn't feel any better. I was 22 at that time. I'm now 31. This all may sound immature. There was a member of a church choir that died just before Christmas 2008. She was 35, married, had 2 young daughters, had 2 master degrees and a successful career. She had things that I don't have at all. So I often ask why did she have to go, and why am I still living?? People without aspergers are way better. They have tons of friends and great life and a great future ahead for them. I think I'm suffering more now because I did something terrible in my childhood that I can't remember.

I also have several medical issues that there are no cures for that ruins the whole social life.
