Have you attempted suicide?

Post Reply New Topic

Yes, many times in my drinking days.

I was hospitalized for stabbing myself, slitting my wrists, and ODing, and no I'm not exaggerating any of this.

Since I've been sober, I still have the thoughts at times, but I would never attempt to do it again. I think part of me wanted to live since they weren't all fatal. I think the closest I came to death was the stabbing.

I try to supportive to ppl with these problems but I also keep my distance b/c it can trap me.

In 8th grade I was labeled as "a emo". I hated it. I was the quiet kid who wore dark clothes and nobody wanted to talk to me. I was dignosed with High functioning autism in 9th grade, I am in 10th grade now. I was mis-dignosed with cerbral palsy when I was little. I had a few friends in 8th grade, but none of them really understood me. Only my friend Joseph understood me and we were best friends. I felt misunderstood and I was sucidal. I thought about killing myself alot, but never did it. I have a huge fear of sharp objects so I was to afraid to cut myself so, I used a rubber band and I would pop my wrists. I am so glad not that I never did those other things. My dogs and Mom have helped me understand that I am perfect just the way I am. I have learned now to accepted the way I am and I would not change me for the world. I lost all my friends from 8th grade after I told them I had Autism, I guess they were not my true friends. I am now not sucidal anymore, but I still get labeled as a emo because I wear dark clothes and because I am shy. I hate labels!

I've never tried it, I didn't want to die. But I did have the thoughts and I was afraid that if I saw something I could use, I wouldn't be able to stop myself.

I've intentionally done things that were likely to kill me because I wanted to die, but it was more like Russian roulette than attempted suicide. That was a long, long time ago.

No. Why would I want to kill myself? You can't play Runescape or Xbox live in heaven. Theres no wifi up there. I think i'll just stay down here a little longer.

how do you know there is not super-duper ultra-spiffy wi-ultrafi up in heaven? in any case, had many "passive" suicide attempts [accident-proneness, deadly bad diet/lifestyle] in terms of getting into accidents that should have killed me outright but somehow I escaped death. did try to blow my brains out once with my dad's rifle but was interrupted. I figure that was the big guy upstairs' way of telling me "no cheatin' now, y'hear?"

Multiple attempts have been made but people keep stopping me.

sounds like somebody thinks you still have important work to do down here on earth.

I thought about it when I was depressed & before that partly due to my OCD but I never tried. I did slash my arm at one point when I was depressed thou & I started getting treatment after.
