Just a question, not trying to be funny here, we're all adults here...hopefully.
How often do you contemplate suicide?
For a while, I was thinking about/contemplating it constantly. I'd have brief periods where I'd feel fine/happy, but would usually fall back into it at some point.
Lately, I haven't thought about it much at all. I've been trying to be more hopeful and less negative, and I promised a friend I wouldn't do it. (It's been hard not to think about it though)
@thespoiler: Yeah, depression can be a ***** though.
@dboyrules2011: What forum then?
Um, like, never? I mean, I guess it crossed my mind in the past before, 'cause hard times.
But never would I even think about such things these days.
@tylerwhittemore: Off-Topic, of course.
Often. My life isn't bad by any means and I don't see myself as the self destructing type but sometimes I feel like I'm a disappointment to my family, and a laughing stock to my friends. Being a degenerate doesn't help either.
Of course, I don't actually have the balls to do it.
Personal drama general?
Only recently, when I got something I've never had and then I lost it for anxiety three months later, it hurted as hell and I stop caring for everything, I was just.. living without any reason, there was nothing that made me happy, I never had the guts to do it anyway, I learned tho, many ways to do it, I even asked to the person I used to hate most in the world. Now it's just a point of, I wouldn't do it but if a car is heading my way I wouldn't move out of the road
Oh, yeah I get what you're saying, I usually cut , but I'm considering finishing the job.
Dude, get help. Not healthy, you can have a much better state of mind if you get the right therapy.
@the_valeyard: Precognition bro, you got it(:
Every 5 minutes.
Now, excuse me, because I have to drink some bleach.
The thought of dying is very comforting to me, but at the same time I love my life. Thankfully I understand how much pain it would cause my family if I killed myself and for the time being I'm strong enough to resist the urge.
It's flutters past my mind ever now and again, but its never hit hard enough for me to count for me as seeing it as "contemplating suicide"
Never actually
Nope, only weak people think that way.
That is simply not right.

So.....taking the easy way out of your problem is right?

Well there are alot of people out there who deal with suicidal thoughts, depression and a myriad of other mental health issues that non of us asked for everyday. It takes alot of strength to deal with these kind of things. People who feel this way never chose it, never woke up one morning and decided to feel suicidal.
The perception that feeling like you want to die is weak is one of the factors that don't help with people who are suicidal. It is actually weak and ignorant for people to simply write suicidal thoughts off as weak rather than trying to be empathetic and lend a helping hand to people who are suffering.
I went through a point where I contemplated suicide but I realized, I felt I had things to live for. That life is short and worth living. And that is when I really understood at least a little how some people who are suicidal and either are contemplating it or have attempted it or done it how distraught and low they are. It is tragic. People need to know that feeling suicidal is something that is not weak that many people go through and there is help there not belittlement or unneeded judgement.
People who say someone is selfish that they took their own life should think more deeply and understand that it is that selfishness and short sightedness that contributes to it.
We are more complicated than we realize and some people need to get out of the Saturday morning cartoon mind set of black and white.
So do you think it Is right to assume people who feel depressed and suicidal are simply weak?

Believe or not, I have been in situations and events in my life where even the basic of needs are not meet. Do I buckle down and say, "Man, I'm in such a dire state, I wish to die and end it all.", no, before such notion is entertained in my brain, I look for solutions. Feeling sorry for yourself will only bring you down even more. Now, I'm not rich but I get by, far from that situation that I mentioned.
As for the Saturday Morning Cartoon Mindset you somewhat ridiculed, it pulled me through;
