SUICIDE: How many among you attempted or thought to do it?

[Cindy]

Tried but was thankfully a failure. Started medication for depression. AWESOME. The black dog disappeared and life is what life is.

If anyone is having suicidal thoughts, please contact medical help. Even if it's the ER in the local hospital.

Been there, done that. Been on some 14+ meds that were failures. I'm on one medication now for depression but it still doesn't keep me from feeling death would be better.

[Ms Jessica]

Thought about?  Definitely.

Tried it?  Not really.  I am (or was?) more of a cutter but I'd never do enough damage to really classify as an attempt at suicide.  I do have some scars, though.

Yep been there and peered over the edge.  Still do.  But I haven't jumped.  I also went through a period of doing the self harm thing as well.  Counseling, medication....you have heard the stories.  Mine is a lot the same.  But I have to admit, sometimes it is a real struggle.

Never give up

[Kurzar]

Give up is something I do often. I have no faith in me, so death just seems the kinder option.

Everyday is a struggle. Some days are better then others. I never actually did anything, but thought about it. Doing something about my situation and medication seem to help. I don't think my my thoughts of suicide or gender identity problems will ever go away.

Don't give up - (A poem I wrote)

Yes, everyday is a struggle. The nights alone are even a greater struggle

That felling, that urge does not go away.

But please, realize you are not alone. We are all here with you.

Don't give up

Please don't make us cry

Don't give up

We are here with you

Don't give up

stay strong for us

Don't give up

We Love and Need you

Don't give up

That's nice Virginia,

I totally agree, sometimes it just seem worthwhile plodding on. But the world would be a poorer place without us.

Who else can we turn too for help if not ourselves?
