Yeah, serious contemplation. The world is a depressing place.

[KoreanDream]

Yes. I came very close to committing suicide multiple times during my teen years.

Aww, Maya. I'm so glad that everything has worked out for you and you're enjoying life now.

I think it's sick when people claim that those who commit suicide are selfish, though.

[Mimie]

Yes

No, I'm way too optimistic and happy-go-lucky to even consider it. I really do feel bad for the people who seriously consider suicide (and by seriously I mean not just for attention). It's scary to see how many ATRLers have struggled with the thought.

This, completely. It's rude, it's uncalled for, and it's flat-out shameful. Have no respect.

[Crank_It_Up]

I've thought about it but I couldn't hurt myself. I freak out badly with blood.

a lot of people are very ignorant to mental illness

Yes and I came VERY close in 2010, but I just decided it wasn't worth putting my family through the grief.

Plenty of times before I even reach to my teens. Sad, but I made it through on my own after my freshman year.

[PenaltyKillah]

Only before exams.

There's been a few time's where I've seriously considered it..

I remember last summer I was extremely depressed and not happy at all and everything just seemed so wrong. I was a hand away from a bottle of my father's prescribed pain killers and seriously considered it, I mean I was staring at these pills for a few hours.

Thankfully I realized that it wouldn't be fair to my family and friends if I did so, so from then on I just tried to see the posotive outlook on everything.

[bleuwaffle]

About 2 years ago I would cry myself to sleep daily and thought about suicide all the time. I was too scared to ever do anything though, and nowadays I'm a lot happier kind of.

[CroNich]

I thought about how i would do it, if i wanted to and what the affect would be, but I've never hit that stage where i really gave it too much consideration, and i don't ever want to put my family or friends through that

[Gossamer™]

Yes.

Omg, what were you going to do?

My mom's sleeping pills. There were about 20 of them left and I was about to swallow them all. I had them in my hand, but then I realized it wasn't worth it and I put them back. Until today, I haven't told anybody about this. Tbh, my life hasn't improved much, but there have been some positive things in my life since then. My dog has really gotten me through these past two hectic years and I'm grateful for her.

[notmyselftonight]

Never.

[maisie]

Yeah, a few times. I don't think I'd ever have the guts though.
