I had actually found that before, when I was looking up ways to commit a "clean suicide" where my family wouldn't have to worry about bullet holes and things like that, but at the same time that wouldn't fail. It got me out of the state of mind, it helped me... obviously I didn't go through with taking my own life... and I'm so happy im still here, even if I do still have more bad days than good ones...

LOL that quote is quite funny although I do not like the idea of blaming.

Sure you get advice from different people but when you choose to act on it you must be prepared for the consequences YOU have brought upon yourself.

Well, I always blame my elder brother for all things that go wrong with me.
I relate the present problem and my reaction to it with the way he treated me in the past.

Sigh
He hasnt called me in a month!
I should stop doing that!

Anyway, suicide is uncool. So, don't do it. That's what I say. But a more decent way to put it was through this post, so yeah.

This is a really old post. Why the hell am I replying now?!
I KNOW
MY BROTHER TOLD ME THAT I SIT ONLINE WAY TOO MUCH!

sigh!

I like that statement the person put in red: "Suicide is not chosen; it happens when pain exceeds resources for coping with pain". That is very true, and I wish more people knew it. I also wish more people knew what "pain" can be.

I don't like when they said "Now: I'd like you to call someone" at the bottom of the article. Calling someone doesn't always help, doesn't always make it better, can lead to more pain and depression. It helps a lot of people, but it also isn't the cure-all some people seem to think it is.

Overall, it's a very good piece and I'm grateful to the person who wrote it. I no longer want to kill myself, but it seems like once I have those thoughts, they never fully go away.

That article is pretty helpful I'm no longer thinking in that frame of mind so thank you

Thank you for posting this. It's not something I was considering, as things are much better than they used to be, but when I was a teenager, I had this thought several times.
