suicide

[pointless]

have you ever contemplated suicide? and, yes, i am being serious.

 

[freakygirl]

nope

 

[MissTaken]

No, but i wouldn't say it is because I am "stronger" than that.

People contemplate suicide for many reasons, some of them having nothing to do with "strength" of character, emotions etc.

 

[Xander]

Yup, several times. More times than I care to admit to.

 

[Guest]

Yes, but it's a selfish act. Anyway, chances are, tomorrow will be better.

 

[Smiley777]

No, but i wouldn't say it is because I am "stronger" than that.

Ditto.

 

[HeavyStick]

Nope..... MissTaken has promised me cooter if I don't. ;-)

 

[sabbathstorm]

Yes I have

 

[MissTaken]

Nope..... MissTaken has promised me cooter if I don't. ;-)

And dear old MissT isn't into necrophilia!

(Cooter always reminds me of the Deputy Sheriff on "The Dukes of Hazzard." Hmm I bet that dates me! )

oh, almost forgot my answer was yes, many times. i went through a period when it was all i thought about. that period lasted about a year and half.

Just don't end up being Boss Hogg.

Daisy Duke would fit you. ;-)

 

[Nomad4112000]

Yes I have. Then I thought about what it might mean. It pissed me off so I decided not to. I wanted to live long enough to be a pain in the ass to the people who pushed to that point!

 

[pointless]

80% have. somehow, i find that mildly comforting.

 

[Renegade]

Yes, but haven't for a few years now and even then knew I'd never act on it.

 

[curious2c]

Yes. there was one time. Very dark time in my life.

 

[Frimost]

yes, a lot over the past year or so and especially over the past month or two.

might i suggest you read the myth of sysiphus( that is not spelt correctly, but i'm drinking so fuck you) by albert camus. it may sound weird but that and neitszche and kafka are the only things that kept me going when i got dark.

 

[Chicklet]

I think that most people at least contemplate it at some point in their life. It seems like an easy way out of life's problems when you're down.

 

[pointless]

for me it was always about revenge and pain.

 

[Chicklet]

for me it was always about revenge and pain.

suicide can be a very manipulative thing. one of the signs of an abusive relationship is when one partner threatens to kill themselves if the other person leaves the relationship. I've been in both roles, and neither are any good.

It's not weird at all man..good stuff.

 

[VS2100]

To answer the question,
I have more than a few times contemplated bumping myself off...
however....I'm still here...not really sure what got me through.

I have to say though that the world would be a MUCH better place if some people did kill themselves.

 

[freexxx]

no. it is better to know that tomorrow will be worse than to know nothing at all about it.

I'm a cyclothymic manic depressive with an anxiety disorder and I've thought about suicide often. I made a half hearted attempt at it when my ex hubby and i first separated......But things are going well now and i dont think about it so much.
