Have you ever wanted to kill yourself?

have you ever wanted to do it? and if so what kept you from not doing it?

I have wanted to kill myself and on the 5th february this year I took an overdose, it was only 6 tablets but I thought that this would kill me but unfortunately I was wrong. I suffer from an eating disorder sortof a mix between anorexia/bulimia.
I still want to kill myself but have to stop myself but often im thinking of hanging myself or taking another overdose.
Seriously if you feel suicidal talk to someone, even speaking to a friend can make you so happy. I attend the hospital and c a psychologist and psychiatrist weekly and for the past 7 weeks I havent been allowed to go to sckool or basically do anything.
believe me life gts crap if you cant do anything good and when you try to kill yourself and your unsuccessfull ull fell even wose than you did before you attemped suicide.

I used to slit my arms and wrist and at one point my chest too because I was getting bullied and I got called fatty and big boobs and most other things. then one day I was sitting at home thinking about one boy I had fancied for ages but hed bullied me so much it was unreal. I had already said night to my parents and was upsets with bandages and knives ready to kill myself and just before I did it I text all my friends including the boy who had bullied me and said 'I hope you all have good lives. mine ends here!' I got two texts off my friends saying 'we'll miss you soo much so please don't do it!' and I put my phone down and picked up the knife as my phone rang. it was the bullyboy. I answered it and he said 'please don't do it kayla, I luv you and I have for ages but my mates are patronising and you know what mates are like? how about we meet up tomoro and we have a chat?' I said yes. and I believed that I could live one more day just to see him. In the end we ended up dating and now im engaged to him. All it takes is a bit of courage and confidence in one person you love and it'll help because you'll see you're life is worht it when he's in it. I asure you I don't cut myself anymore and I'm glad I don't because I'm happily engaged and I'm sure you will be one day. so just give life a chance. you've got it to live and I asure its fun when you try. GUD LUK DARLING!

I used to cut and still do when things are really insane... its hard to give up.
anways about 2 times I was seriously considering killin my self I had a plan and everything. so right befor I was planing to do it. I told my best friends at school I was going to kill myself but they were like well miss you DONT DO IT! I was like no your not you wont even notice but they wouldnt stop sayin the would miss me so much and maybe kill thereselves if I killed myself and they werent just sayin that they really ment it. thats what got me not to do it both times I couldnt stand the thought of them dieing because of me. because my best friends mean a lot to me. yup thats why I ended up not killing myself

well I used to really want to kill myselft but friends really helped me. my best friend would hangout will me every day of the week and we would do something fun.

I used to cut regularly, and had thought about suicide.

After much growing up and many realizations, it is apparent to me that suicide is never an option, and self harm hurts many more people than the person feeling it physically.

First time, what stopped me was the realization I was too gutless to actually go through with it. I felt pathetic so I wanted to kill myself, but couldn't kill myself because I was too pathetic. Not a nice realization at all, although from that point on things got better for me.

Second time, wasn't so much on the verge of doing it, rather I began thinking about it. What stopped me was I'd made a promise to someone I wouldn't do it. But I hate myself for the fact that I came close to that point again.

I am very glad I never went through with it both times, especially the first because I've had some wonderful times since then and met some wonderful and special people.

I have always seen suicide as a really selfish thing. I mean, think of all the people you leave behind. They're left to ask why you did it, why you couldn't talk to them about how you felt. If you can imagine the pain and anguish of people you love, I would like to think that would be enough to stop anyone.

I think it's normal to think about it without actually considering going ahead with it. I mean, I have days where I think I'd like the Earth to swallow me up, or I'd like to shrink into the corner. I have days where I think I'd like to strangle my soon-to-be inlaws. Doesn't mean I'll actually go and do it though.

I've been lucky enough to make friends who I can talk to if I'm ever that down though, so I guess there is some good in sticking it out until things get better.

yes I have thought about it sevearal times.
recently I've been very bad with my depression, cutting and suicidal thoughts.
usually the only thing that keeps me from doing it is the thought of how my family/friends would feel.
a few wks ago I found out my fiance has cancer and only has 6-8 mths to live.
since that I truly want to kill myself when he dies.
it may seem selfish, but I really honestly wan to.
so I understand how you might feel.

I agree with many of the responses you've already gotten. I've been through the depression and aren't quite out of it yet. It hits me pretty hard sometimes, still. I've cut my wrists, legs, arms, very lower stomach. Done drugs. Let people take advantage of me all because I just didn't care what happened to me anymore. But I know it sounds completely stupid, but you must just open your eyes and see that there are people who love you. And self harm hurts others more than you. I've learned that quite thoroughly. The only thing to stop the depression is yourself. You just have to wake up and see that life goes on, and you have a beautiful future ahead of you. You must have confidence in yourself, and never feel that you aren't good enough. You're good enough for whatever you allow yourself to be. You should find a hobby, I've also learned that refraining from being alone and having too much time to think really helps. Spend plenty of time with your friends. They can really brighten up the day. Let go of your past and look forward to your future, instead of dreading it and you will feel so much better about life.
Just, chin up, doll. =)

I wan to kill myself noow. I seem to do evrything wrong. if m brothr maks a suggestion its 'that sounds ok ' from my parents. if he hits me and I wack him back im the one that gets asmack from my mum. the world seems pointess and I just want the sadness to end soon.

I think im going to try an overdose of ibuprofen

ibuprofen wont work. you'll just get a badass headache and feel like your stomach has been turned inside out a few days later. same with tylanol.

In the past, yes, I have thought of killing myself. But I had never done it because I knew that life was not worth wasting. Sure, there are bad things in life, but we need to get over it. I personally know what suffering is. And I was able to rise above my dark state and become a better person. It was because one day I opened my eyes to the truth. And that truth was that I was ruining myself. I was just being a big baby that was overly obsessed with herself. I thought that my pain was so bad. That's why I was blinded by the fact that elsewhere there are people that suffer so much more then me. And when I knew that, I just couldn't give up. Don't kill yourself, please, life means so much, and with time, I know you can learn to understand. Don't give up until you see that your life can mean so much more. Death is never the answer, and I don't want anyone in this world to feel as though no one cares. Because there are always kind people that want to help.

Yes, I have..
I would work my way up every night.
I would take 5 pills.
the next day seven, and on until I got up the nerve to actaully take so many it would kill me..
I got scared though..
the thing that stopped me was the fact that you are murdering yourself..you go to hell for it.
Not I'm not like a super christian or whatever. me and God aren't as close as we probably should be but just thinking that he is there for me..or that anyone is there..helps..if I killed myself I would go to hell..that scares the crap out of me.
and I thought nobody would care but really, everyone would. you just have to realize people do love you and care about you or they wouldn't give you the time of day like they do.
It's just not the answer.
Sometimes, when I am in the car I think about getting in a wrecka and getting hurt or maybe worse. But then I think..no. just stop.
It's still something I struggle with.
Along with cutting.
you jsut have to breathe.
just take like long breaths and think about every single person that you know and love.
because, all of those people, will care...

I was really really going to kill myself but the thing that stoped me was the thought that I might not die and have to go back nad lives my life again
