Have you ever felt suicidal?

[lodiug]

Another poll! I think that there's some kind of poll epidemic!

Okay, straight to the question! Have you ever felt suicidal??
I have, but I'll never do it! I don't want my mom to lose her only child so I'm never gonna do it!

[interstella]

I do feel suicidal (on and off), but I am seeing a therapist about it, and he's helping

[quickymart]

everyone feels suicidal to come degree. although most of my suicidal thoughts are just mainly due to my morbid mind (and architecture. I hate/love this major with a firey white passion!)

[Wander]

No. I've thought about suicide (as in the act itself, not me committing it) but I've never really considered killing myself.

Freshman year.
But I got some help.
Met some really cool people in the following years.
And I'm doing pretty good now.

I've been trying to kill myself quite a number of times over the past few years, but looking back I feel like a complete idiot. What the **** do I have to gain out of ending my life? Nothing! I don't get a chance to MAKE THINGS better.

So yeah, I have had suicidal thoughts but I've been stamping them out.

Same.

[Maddy]

To some extent in my early teens, but I moved past that a few years ago.

Luckily I don't think I've ever felt suicidal, I do though feel greatly depressed from time to time though.

I just don't think I could ever do it, I mean even when life feels like shit at least it can only get better than how you're feeling at that moment? right?

It really distresses me how common suicidal feelings are, my heart goes out to anyone even contemplating it a little. If you are you should find a good psychologist at the very least and maybe you might need to see a psychiatrist because if it's that bad that you want to commit suicide them the only way it's gonna get better is with someone to talk to

I've have morbid thoughts of, well it would just be easier if I was dead before.

Only once have I seriously contemplated suicide. I had a migraine in the middle of the night once. It hurt so incredibly bad, I can't describe it but I have never felt anything that intense before. I tried taking some of medicine I had, but it just did not go away. I remember laying there in bed thinking that my gun just just sitting in the closet and that would make the pain go away. Thank God I did not act on it.

The worst time I've ever contemplated suicide was when I was in 7th grade. For the most part I haven't thought of killing myself. I just have a lot moments in my life that I've wished that I was 6 feet under ground.

[MusicIsLife]

Too frequently. I've almost done it a few times as well, but im talking to people about it, so im hoping that'll help.

When I wasn't medicated for bipolar, I would go into manic depressions which would send me into either constant thoughts of suicide or attempts of it (3 times).

I was rushed to the hospital one of those times for overdosing, and sent after I told a guidance counselor another time (in which we kind of realize that I was bipolar).

Now I'm medicated and mentally stable...thank god lol.

[ricoca]

I think I read somewhere that LGBT teens have like the highest rate of suicide and stuff...
and no denying that there were times I wish i was dead, and as people always say, what do you get out of killing yourself? nothing...
and everytime i feel that way, I think about this...

[Tim]

Sadly, yes. However, I've managed to stop myself before following through.

[SpacerX]

i voted yes. i was 'clinically depressed' for about 4 yrs. medication here, psychiatry there, self-harm everywhere... i even wrote the farewell note.

i'm sure it all stemmed from me being gay, although i did always suffer from low self esteem anyway, until these days when i learned to embrace who i was.

for anyone struggling with depression: i felt trapped for years by my own demons, and believe me it will pass as long as you seek out help (and learn to accept it!). it's not something that will just go away by itself, you need to realize people genuinely want to help you! Peace

[Aboden]

I voted yes but the same as lodiug, I thought about it but would never have done it. It didn't stem from my sexual identity or denial there of, but it was a situation with my ex.

[StrataScribe]

Yup. Everyday off my life. Attempted it more times than I care to admit.
But I'm slowly finding myself. And thoughts of self-inflicted death is starting to seem really morbid, even for me. Plus, I figure if I've failed at it this many times maybe I do have some other purpose in this lifetime I've yet to complete....

[Courtneyyy]

A lot of times I think dying would be a whole heck of a lot easier than life. But I just couldn't do it. There are a lot of people that would be devastated. I couldn't do that to my mother.
