I tried when I was 19. I swallowed 85 aspirin. Felt like COMPLETE SHIT the next day, couldn't hear, throwing up my insides all day, killer headache, etc. I've also headed out on the Belt Parkway drunk and on ecstacy and have drove like a maniac attempting to "accidentally" crash. ------------------     | ||

This isn't a flame but what's so hard about suicide? Those attempts you described seem like more of a cryout for help than an honest suicide attempt. | ||

Damn Latimer, kinda harsh on the poor guy......but I agree with you. I never understood suicide. How can it be THAT bad? You've got to be stronger, and make the best of the current situation. It always gets better, and most people that have tried to kill themselves can probably vouch for that. Just my thoughts: if you tried to kill yourself twice, then someone (or something) really must feel you have a purpose for being here. You just have to find it. Killing yourslef is saying I give up, and as far as I can tell, only pussies give up.... ------------------ | ||

Those who commit suicide think it more painful to exist than not to exist. It is that simple and we should be empathetic to an extent. Those who really want to commit it do, and rarely fail - many people have failed suicides but it has to be one of the easiest things to do, there is no one to stop you. I have done very reckless and self destructive things in the past, a long list which I wont divulge here but a bunch of shit that could have ended slopeys life a few times. I never thought of it as suicide attempts just chasing adrenaline and temporary insane (usually to do drugs/alcohol). ------------------ For a good time click here: Search and Profiles (300Kleens Board) | ||

Oh, it was completely the drugs and alcohol. Ecstacy and Vodka depressed the shit out of me for no reason. I didn't want to die, but felt that I had to. Before ecstacy/alcohol I was fine and now I am very close to being fine. I think I'm still a little scarred from the abuse of E. Whoever says it doesn't fuck you up is completely wrong. ------------------ | ||

Anythign that alters you that significantly will have affects on you. It may not do physical damage to your body (but werent they saying it rotted your brain or spine or some shit??) but its obvious to those that use it and other drugs they take their tole on your sanity, energy, and thought process. ------------------ For a good time click here: Search and Profiles (300Kleens Board) | ||

I wasn't right for several days after tripping on cid. That's why I stopped that shit years ago. Now everyone that used to trip is heavy into E and they really are turning into walking zombies. I'd like to try E but I don't think I'll abuse any drug again, marijuana included. | ||

I had a brother that killed himself about 5 years ago---He was 31 at the time----never did drugs or drank---big dude---280--5'10 kind of fat but worked out----pretty strong for being all natural 380 bench etc.---its fucked up, I think about him everyday------It takes alot of guts to do it----Its selfish in the fact of the people he left behind (grieving) but I think it is more selfish in the fact that I or we think that I cant believe he did this to us----Who am I to think that he did this to me-----I'm having a hard enough time dealing with my own life let alone my brothers---so he did nothing to me---I just feel guilty that I didnt do s0mething to stop it----and that is a selfishness that I have! It is not easy to kill herself------You have you to stop yourself and that is someone who is stronger then anyone on the planet! | ||

I tried to get hit by a train in high school - my senior year. I laugh about it b/c I saw myself as a failure and wanted to kill myself - and then I fucked that up. I've posted about it here before - the hospital is what changed me around - none fo the counseling or anything, but just seeing so much really fucked up shit (my 70-80 year old roommate hung himself in the shower and I'm the one that found him) made me realize how good I really had it. it's all hormonal and chemical imbalances in your head - can make your life pretty miserable. ------------------ | ||

X alters seretonin levels. It does result in chemical depression after you "roll." If you do it frequently enough you will downgrade your seretonin receptors and wind up needing it to function properly. If you get to this point you NEED an SSRI. Hands down. I can save your life. BTW, once you are on an SSRI you will not be able to roll because it also downgrades your seretonin receptors... Puc | ||

23 guage i used to think just like what you were saying in your post! obviously you havent dealt with or known someone who has dealth with problems so overwhelming that he/she thought suicide was the only answer. sometimes it does not get better---only worse. trust me, i know!!! i used to think that it was giving up also. one thing you have to remember is that PEOPLE WHO ATTEMPT SUICIDE ARE NOT TRYING TO END THEIR LIVES, THEY ARE TRYING TO END THEIR PAIN!!! ------------------ | ||

I tried to smoke myself to death with Crystal Meth more than once...stayed up for a whole damn month and lived to tell about it. THEN, once I got clean, I went to college and got my BS in Computer Science...AND graduated with honors. I guess it just wasn't my time to die... | ||

I went to my first suicide funeral this year and I was one of the few defending the dead person....having been in the position myself a few times I could shed some light as to what his state of mind might have been. The question is always "why"?....when its that dark inside, there is no answer. | ||

I once hung myself From a Closet rack with a Leather belt. But The Hangers supports couldn't hold my weight and the broke whenever i hit the extent of the belt(I lept from the top of a wooden box) All that happened was i was overwhelmed with self pity and i never tried again. ------------------ | ||

Shags---I agree, but when it hits home like that, a person will go through alot of emotions ---- Esp-since the person (me) has been dealing with depression most of my life---- | ||

quote: oh so true, I've known people who took bottles of asprin then called 911 right afterwards, that is a cry for help, they didn't want to die as much as they thought. Also, You see real life shows about people about to jump of buildings, and most of the time when the shit hits the fan and everyone is tackling them, they try to hold on to something so they don't fall--'cry for help' ------------------ | ||
