Suicide is a very grave matter. A lot do not want to thread the idea of such. But there are instances in lives that are so devastating that suicide has presented itself to the a potential victim as an option. The "noise" in life makes it hard for a disturbed mind to distinguish between what it right and what is wrong. Thereby, we have sad suicide stories. In our local news lately, two young women committed suicide. They were best friends, and apparently the other girl can no longer bear the hardships. So, they both decided to end it all. How bout you? Has the idea of suicide passed through your thoughts in your darkest moment? How did you overcome it?

I sometimes thought of ending my life when I got really depress. And usually I verbalize that idea to my friends but they just laughed it off. Thnaks God, I just can't take it seriously.
The world has a lot to offer despite of unpleasing things around. I maybe depress today but tomorrow will be a brand new day.Everyday is a battle, a struggle. I guess, I just strive to be happy. I don't want to waste my life just like that. I never had enough of it.

Hi sweetsue. The thought of you verbalizing it means that you are considering it. The question is what's your tipping point. And this I think you must address.

No I never got that far. I did try to run away from home but I didn't do it since I got a job then I moved out of the island LOL I guess that job fit me!
When I was stressed out I actually thought of doing stupid things like jump into the river while I couldn't swim, or shave my eyebrows clean - now this one I really did it and just walked out of home without eyebrows! My friends now know how crazy I could be hehe

yes ive thought of killing myself esp when im in the state of depression. im not usually in control of myself. i feel i want to give up and end my life. but when im in my normal state of mind, i think that taking ones life is obsurd.i feel its a short cut to everything but its a disadvantage coz you will not be able to enjoy life like others. so what i did was to remmber that i wont be experiencing the nice things in life when i stop my life. Godbless!

I've actually tried it a couple of times am so blessed now that it didn't work. The last time I tried instead of jumping off of a roof top I looked to heaven and told God if u r real I need u. now when dispair tries to kick in I pray and praise for me it works...

I use to think about killing myself everyday. I used to cut myself while I was in class. One night I took a whole bunch of my dads pills and the next day I woke up I was so mad at myself. The pills I took made me really sick. I couldn't do anything without throwing up. I had a friend who stuck by me through it all. I think thats why I am still here now. This person never jumped down my throat about any of it. I guess all I needed was someone to talk to. I got that. I am so happy that I never ended my life. Its the best gift I could ever ask for. I am not even promised another minute. I am going to live life to the fullest.

I have had both thoughts and attempts of sucide. Obviously when i had the attempts I ended up in hospital. There both medication and couselling got me through. I haven't had any sucide attempts for a few years but i still get thoughts at times. I discuss it with my doctor or my husband. I know if the thoughts get too bad and won't go away to go to the hospital. I have bipolar so this is what causes alot of my problems.

I have thought about it often when i was in my teens. Pressure from school isnt fun at all. And it seems that the depression rate in teens are just going up by day. There is soo much pressure at school and on kids these days that is no wonder theres so much depression out there.

i know that a long time ago when i was a teenager i thaught about it but i also know that i would not have done that..i just needed a little attention
as i grew older i decided that there is no use at living in this world without seeing the beauty of it

it has and sstill is working wonderfully
and i say thank for each day i am alive in this beautiful world:)

i have said before that i was going to kill myself, and even put a knife to my own throat before. but i never would be brave enough to actually go through with the act. life is rough sometimes and for a lot of people it doesnt seem like it will ever get better. i just wish there was more out there to help those people to get on their feet, and have a positve support system to get them to where they need to be in order to live a happy and productive life. parents should pay more attention to what the kids are doing and how they are acting on a daily basis, and depression should be taken more seriously, because its not a state of mind but an illness that needs treatment.
