i tried to kill myself like...4 months ago, and it was the biggest mistake i ever made, im happy im still alive, im happy i woke up, i really scared my friends and fam. this video makes me remember of what i could lose....thanks

[proudlydonut]

Thank you. I am hoping it reaches out to remind people of what they could lose and of how it can effect those who care about you.

[GavinMercer]

but what if you're suicidal because no one does care about you?

[proudlydonut]

That's what I believed when I was suicidal along with a lot of other people who feel suicidal. The thing is, it's easy to see what we want to see. Even when we think we're being completely logical, the overall feeling can persuade us that no one cares.

To answer your question: in talking to hundreds upon hundreds of people who are suicidal, I have yet to come across someone that hasn't at some level thought of someone that would miss you if you weren't here. *Someone* always cares.

I should mention that there is a great, growing community on facebook for suicide prevention who support one another. Lookup "Suicide Prevention" under groups and causes.

these videos are saying stuff like if you kill your self it will hurt alot of people.well that might be true but does anyone ever think of how much pain the person who wants to kill them selves is in.personaly i think it is selfish for people to make others stay alive just so the person who is saying that to them wont feel pain.i am suicidle and people i dont even know are comeing up to me and saying that.dont just think of your selves think of the person who is in pain and what is best for them

i wish i could have helped my best friend more than i did.I miss him so much..R.I.P Jaime

[seabass743]

I agree with SasukeLoverErin. How can people just say "dont kill your self, you have so much to live for", that doesnt help. i know they want to help but it doesnt. I'm depressed and i dont want to live, if i kill myself i hurt a lot of people. So.... then, what am i suposed to do? Be depressed for ever? I guess so then, because i dont want to hurt any one. Im actually surprised at these comments too, people feel the same as I do, i wish we could all be happy.

Well, over the past few weeks, I've cut back on the booze big time, started exercising more, and taken up playing darts. I feel much better about myelf as a result. I still do suffer from depression, but it's more manageable it seems.

Forget about anti-depressants. No need to pollute your body with more chemicals.

[forevereternity84]

@kazimann I agree completely. I used to go to a therapist for around 8 months and really it didn't do much for me. I then switched therapists, but nothing. There's only so much a therapist can do.

I was on the verge of killing myself after attempting two times, and in the end I found my way out myself and with a little help from my friend. I still have suicidal tendencies but I'm trying to hold it back as much as possible for the sake of my mother.

[kazimann]

From my personal experience, shrinks are absoluety useless. They do nothing but ask the same question about 10 different ways and in the end they prescribe anti-depressants that usually cause all sorts of problems.

Realistically, the only way is to help yourself get through this.

[TashaRichardsonFan]

I am constantly thinking about suicide. I am scare!!!!! I am scare to tell my therapist about that, what if she throw me into the nuts house???? :(

[skankedout]

this video makes me want to kill myself.

Sorry for your loss. God bless her soul...
