and eventually i stopped she even lifted me out of the depression i was in and it was bad enough that i hadnt been sleeping for months at a time and i wasnt at school for a third of the year and nearly failed but things are better so im really grateful for her if she hadnt been there i wouldnt be righting to you right now

[obliviousdarkfire]

umm one im a guy yea but my friend maryia did quite a few things i think what really got my attention tho is that she started cutting to kinda show me how it feels to have someone close to you do that to themselves she also constantly bugged me about it she kept saying she would tell our other friends and she never left me bymyself she stayed near me constantly to keep me from doing anything

[ArgotMay]

Yes.

[ArgotMay]

I am trying to find help because I seek out suicidal people to help them in my town and on the net. My partner does too. I kept him alive for 11+ years. He struggles, but much less. Tonight he is on a suicide watch for someone. So I am looking for the best advice I can get. You guys have the best advice and warnings so far. Thank you.

[obliviousdarkfire]

ty i really appreciate what you do argotmay i used to be suicidle and used to cut myself but my friend helped lift me out of it and im doing so much better than what was originally

[ArgotMay]

Hey girl. Please do let me know what your friend did to help. I don't forget the advice because it can save someone's life, especially since I haven't gotten that down before myself. I can't tell you why I haven't been that down. Life has really knocked me around a bit. I've been studying spiritual perspectives on suicide. Not religious stuff, but more Hindu lately. It is not judgmental and is pretty interesting. I just try to keep learning to pass it on. Each person is so amazing it's unreal.

I tried to commit suicide once but with the help of friends from my church I was able to get through it.

I recently got news through a TRICKLE-DOWN E-MAIL that another friend of mine named Will Jones (a friend not from my church) killed himself back in February. I'm going through hell over it and my mother and grandma apparently don't give a shit about anyone but themselves.

I've cried myself out and I'm thinking of taking my life again. My family would be better off without me.

[lamarjlp914]

live on, you can't let depression rule your life. I too experience bouts of extreme depression and feel as though there is no end in sight. These dark phases really suck because a second feels like and eternity and you can't see past the second your in this well or pain you're in. but trust me it'll end and you come out even stronger. just hold on because even though it may not seem like it right now their are people who care about you.

[KellyLCrutcher]

My 'mother' and 'grandmother' don't give a fuck about me. Damned bitches. Madeline (my grandmother) keeps saying "you need to straighten up". HOW CAN SOMEONE JUST 'STRAIGHTEN UP' AFTER A TRAGEDY LIKE THIS?! I think Will had the right idea; all I have to do now is find out a way to do it so I can't be brought back, wait until I'm alone and do it. An overdose of my seizure medicine ought to do the job.

[lamarjlp914]

When people are in the amount of pain you are in it is hard to see past it. The best way to honor Will's memory is to live on, and tell people that his life was valuable. Kelly suicide is a perminent solution to a temporary problem. Please contact a suicide prevention center and get better. Nothing is more tragic then for someone to end their life. Their are people out there who care and I am one of them.

i planned my suicide. im bi polar and skitzaphrenic. my mid is a train wreckage and haunts me. sometimes i cant get out of bed yet havent slept a wink. my family, my neices a nephews and my gifts of music that have touch someone made me want to live. it took a long time. i still struggle but atleast i make the best of living now

[Melicious419]

I hate my life and I want to die everyday. I care so much about making others happy that I have failed miserably in finding my own happiness. I don't even remember the last time that I was truly happy. Smiling is such an effort... to much of an effort for me to make right now. So to all of you who are depressed... my biggest wish for you is that you find your smile... never give up looking. I haven't given up yet though many times I have thought about it.

[itsallgood20002]

I too think about killing myself. I have on and off for the past few years. The only thing that keeps me from doing it, is my elderly mother. My sister stole my inheretance money that my grand father left. (it's along story don't ask me how she could do that, but she did) I have went to Church, I have asked for help, and have got nothing but scorn, and rebuke from my relatives. I exploded in rage, and stained my soul. You know sometimes death means peace, then all your problems are over forever

[classclown555]

Annoying, estrogen-infused tripe... If someone wants to die what makes you think you should force your beliefs on them? What happened to their ability to decide their own destiny; without others imposing on them?

[fullspectrumm]

I've been asked that many times and as the head of the international suicide prevention puts it: "We make decisions based on irrationality all the time - purchasing a a muscle car with in today's society and gas prices for example. So when a person is in a heightened state of emotion, how can we expect them to be operating on logic alone. We cannot, there are just as suspectable to basing their decision on emotion, the only difference is that their decision is permanent and can never be undone."

[Marshey14]

I think about suicide and no video is going to change that! Even if i do talk to the only adult i trust, even though i have got 1 adult to trust, i still think my life is not worth living.

[mzirb]

Marshey, I hope things have gotten better since you posted. I was THERE just recently. I agreed completely at the time with what you said - that things would never get better, and that reaching out was pointless. THAT WAS THE DEPRESSION TALKING. Unfortunately, I waited too long to seek help, and I am lucky to have survived a suicide attempt. Don't be like me! If you're still hurting, !PLEASE! tell someone.

[ArgotMay]

Hey Marshey. You made it here. You are reaching out. Are our invisible hands worth aiming for? Our lives are all worth the same. I found that out. It took a long time, but I know it now. Got to explore more avenues.

[Marshey14]

Yeah, after talking to someone, I do feel better, it's because everyone was just treating me like crap and like i got banned from talking to the one person i trust, but I'm back talking to him, I've cheered up and I'm fine now. Thanks. I can't even remember writing this to be honest.

[gymman1031]

I am on the verge of suicide. I am not good-looking, not a good athlete, and I don't make a lot of money. In addition, I live in a small town where my dad is rich and famous, but I hate being in his shadow. We are both very disappointed in each other. People are probably jealous of me for all the MONEY I get to inherit. But guess, what? They are all wasting their time. I am not going to inherit a cent from him. I don't want to have him as part of my life, and it would feel hollow if I did.

[gymman1031]

And, very few girls would ever want to be with me, because I have no money and it would make them sick to their stomach knowing that I wasn't going to take my dad's money. And folks, don't try to talk me into taking his money, because it's not going to happen.

[Melicious419]

I feel sorry for those that money is an issue for. I just recently quit my job as a waitress because the people that I worked for were so hard on me. They told me that I was worthless and that I didn't deserve the raise that I was promised. So after years of their harshness... I quit. Now I am jobless but I feel better. Nobody deserves to be mistreated and under appreciated. I'm sure that you have much to offer... you just need to dig a little deeper...find what makes you happy and go with it.

[ArgotMay]

Hey gymman, how are you now? I hope you are finding the light beyond the shadows. Fathers send thier sons out in the world. We don't belong to them. They don't know our potential. I know a lot of not good looking men who don't even exercize or have money out here, but when they open up, most get some kind of love they didn't before, and some decide to reach out to others. I found a suicidal man in the back of a bus. He was fat and old and suicidal and addicted. I fell in love. We are together.
