If you ever thought about suicide, what made you change your mind?

I've been through depression during one period in my life but I never had thoughts of ending my life. Life is too wonderful to me. I don't even want to think of a world where I don't exist. Life is everything.

-Always considered suicide the cowards way out that erases any chance of betterment or redemption in life or the afterlife. The notion was never anything more than a "what if" scenario to me.

-I've also known plenty people doing well in life that were hooked on alcohol, including myself.

While Suicide Ideation is a thing, I got real high (Ketamine) one time in a bout of misery and basically sat at a table with a flowchart and penned out if I really wanted to die or if I'd be alright with being dead. Broke it down to the point where I realized I wouldn't necessarily want to die, but if I couldn't exist anymore, I'd be alright, provided there was no afterlife, just darkness.


Apart from my Bro probably being affected the most by me commiting that, I had to come to terms with the fact that whenever I felt like I didn't want to live or had no problems with being dead, was when I was in situations that I didn't particularly like, which helped me to further understand that I wasn't really keen on dying, I was just more prone to not wanting to be however I was at the moment, since I'm pretty good at occupying myself and being happy when I'm away from my current life's trials and frustration.

Like if I had the opportunity to just up root and go live somewhere else on my own, somewhere cold, comfortable and eek out a meek and somewhat reclusive life, like say in a light house or some serbian cabin where I could provide for myself and just be me, I'd be happy as fukk under those circumstances for a large chunk of time, I'd like to think. Someone wanting to kill themselves wouldn't dream of that sort of shyt and I'm not weak minded to the point where I'd give up mainly because I can't have what I'd like at the time, instead of working towards getting myself there.
One day at a time. Keep your head down, get/stay healthy and plan.

One day.​

I had suicidal thoughts throughout my teenage years. My mind was in the state of depression. All I seen was grey clouds no sunshine.

I tried attempting cutting myself. Hanging myself. Choking myself.

It was my dog at the time that talked me out of it. My dog just kept me company and gave me the emotional support that I needed

Thankful for that moment. Saved my life.

y'all laughing I was trying to be funny but I was serious too. I had a lot of bs coming down on me at once when I was younger, shyt gave me bad anxiety. in that moment I bit that burger I didn't give a shyt about any of that. and I took note. slow down, enjoy something, put yourself first and fukk everything else. even if it's for a few minutes ymmv

I can't help but think at least some of these drug overdoses are coming from people who feel like they can't go on any longer because their lives and the world just seems to get worse every day from their perspective.

I've never heard of a hopeful who has everything going well in their lives getting hooked on heroin or alcohol. I've worked with people who joke about their retirement plans being a running car in a closed garage or a pistol and enough Vodka to kill a Russian. I can see where they're coming from but for me it makes me wonder if people think about how their friends and family would react. What that would do to them to know that someone they cared about decided life wasn't worth living anymore.

I've been lucky to not have any friends who went through with it, but I did know a few people who really came close. shyt is tough to hear

For me it was this. Especially after my brother died. No way was i gone give those cac00ns the satisfaction of being rid of us both for the price of one That and having my REAL family behind me gave me the strength to carry on and finish my journey to enlightenment me and little bro started on together. And we gone finish it together, ill just be carrying him the rest of the way within my heart.

Love u little bro. u chose me over them cacs even when they was still tryna claim u. Ur sacrifice will not be for naught. And u will be avenged. rest in power young king.

That brought me close to death. Not because I'm a violent person just the music.

I've been mentally down before but never suicidal. I do become more irrational and take greater risks and am way more open to violence. IDK if its 1 in the same.
