For anyone who has ever contemplated suicide

A mix of personal experience and having a close friend of mine who cuts. For me, ive made a post about it early on in this thread, basically years of abuse, bullying, as well as severe depression (with an added side effect from Prozac) made me attempt to hang myself. I was found before I was able to. Years of therapy and close friends helped me snap out of this mentality, And I would like to help anyone who has been going through the same things, Or worse. even if I'm only able to help one person, at least that person's life has been saved, And they know there are people out there that do care. My one friend also is going through a lot. She's also got severe depression, but her parents refuse to put her on medication. Last year, She attempted to jump off a train bridge, but was talked down by a friend who came down to the ledge where she was going to jump. As they were climbing back up, he slipped and fell off the ledge, which lead to his death. She internalizes it and believes that she killed him. She started cutting, her parents practically gave up on her. she is constantly tormented by her classmates. The cutting got worse. That's when I met her, we both volunteered at a haunted house. I noticed the marks during makeup as she was getting her outfit on. I talked to her and we started talking. Since then, She's been cut free for 5 months. She's a good person. She doesn't want to kill herself anymore, She wants to get better, She still gets bullied, but she knows that she's got friends who care about her now, which is a step in the the right direction. As far as the other comment, I respectfully have to abstain from the discussion. I like everybody here,,but I do wish we all can have a serious discussion in this very serious subject. Some people views are different than what I see, And I respect that, but all I ask is that they explain why they feel the way that they do. There is no right or wrong when it comes to somebody's opinions, it's when we lose respect for the other person and begin to attack their character because of their opinions that it becomes wrong.

Some people are just so inconsiderate. Go out my way to find a life for a guy and he just throws it away. But I forgive you. My childish ways makes me so naive that I forgive and forget easily. Goo goo gaa gaa! ^_^

Rika is the reason why we can't have nice things... It's like she trolls and doesn't realize how bad at it she really is...

my suicide attempt wasn't caused by other people, it was caused by me switching anti depressants too quickly. my body kinda went on autopilot though i was aware of what wad happening. i walked into my step-dad's room, found his 9mm, put it to my head and pulled the trigger. luckily my deranged subconscious didn't know enough to check if it wad loaded. other than that, i used to contemplate suicide all the time it was like an escapist fantasy that i could flirt with when i was feeling depressed. it's like, no more feelings forever? sign me up! but i'm not like that anymore.
