Just about four months ago I wanted to commit sucide. It's not fun feeling all of those things that make you think about taking your own life. No one should have to go through that. Want to know what kept me from going over the edge? I went to talk to the school principal because I thought I had no one else to talk to. He took me down to the guidance counslers office and there I sat feeling scared and ashamed that I had just told someoneabout it but now I am glad I did.

We all feel depressed or suicidal. Anyone who doesnt .. well then I feel sorry for them. You shouldnt have regrets. Only learn from your mistakes. Hell, I learned (some) from my huge mistake. I like to tell myself I'm never going back to that state. But it just isnt possible, for anyone. Everyone feels ****ty. If we didnt feel ****ty, we probably wouldnt gain enough strength to actually be here. Hang in there, dont let people get in your way. Live life happily. Because life rocks!
PEACE OUT MAN!

Qoute from depressedwavemaster:
"Oh, and Star, by the way you named this
thread, it sounded as if you had died."

Maybe I meant it in another way than what you took it as. When I named this thread as you call it, I was trying to say that going through it and not actually committing suicide isn't fun or easy.

Your life is precious. Dont waste it by committing suicide just because you think life is no good for you anymore. Life is hard. But still, if you look at the possibilitites, life will be much more fun than looking at the negative ones. Just be happy and always surround yourself with good friends. Life is worth it.

No, no. bauhaus' comment was awesome.

Oh, and Star, by the way you named this thread, it sounded as if you had died.

Poor poor little suicide,
Tried to cut, wanted to die,
Every night, sat and cried,
You really suck at living lies

I've been suicidal for 5 years and I thought bauhaus' comment was hilarious.

You people need to lighten up a little.

Thanks everyone for posting here. I know it's one of the hardest things to come out and talk about. I know that talking isn't the only way to handle it because you don't want to become another statistic.

bauhaus, u usually make me laugh for days, but that was rude. and i know rude

What everyone should understand is that it is normal for people to feel suicidal at some point of their lives. This is where we come in to console them, not shun them for feeling suicidal. Instead, we should reassure that there are other way outs other than suicide. Enough said.

i should know i tried i was in the hospital for a couple of weeks
no body should ever try to kill them self.

Sometimes, there maybe no one to talk to about this kind of thing but I have come to find out that talking isn't the only way to come back for the edge. Yes, it helps but it's not the only way but it's one way. When I went through it, yes I talked to someone only because I didn't trust myself at that time, but a couple of days later I wrote a poem about it so if I were to ever start feeling that way again I would have something to help me. There is always more than one way to come back from the edge.

And too JulesinOZZ thanks for your post.

Imastar thank you for letting us know what you went through it takes a lot of strength to do what you did and unfortunately some people are not as strong as you. I agree that there are many people who want to help in situations like this. If someone came to me and i didnt know them i would completely go out of my way to try and help in anyway i can. I am so glad u are ok.

As for Bauhaus if you dont have anything nice to say i suggest you dont post. Its comments like this that can push people over the edge. Completely unnecessary, you should be ashamed.

Jules xxxx

Its funny when people try and kill them selves and fail at it... hahaha they really suck at life.

I was once suicidal, but unlike you, I never talked to anyone about it. It was about 4 years ago, we just moved up to Oregon. I hated everyone and everything at that piont. But then I met my savior, the love of my life, and he seemed to take ebrything bad out of my heart and mind and throw it all away. I now have plenty of friends and I occasionally get along with my parents. I owe my life to my boyfriend of 4 years. I love you Jake

Yeah, knowing when to ask for help about this sort of thing isn't the easiest thing in the world but taking the first step in getting the help you need is just as hard. Talk to someone you can trust like a teacher, counsler, friends, or even go all the way and tell your parents how you're feeling and why you're feeling this way. Or if you know of anyone who has gone through any of the things you are going through that is making you want to take your life then go to them cause maybe they can help. Look all I know is that if you need someone to talk to you can post it here or talk to a friend.
