SUICIDE, and why life is important to live

[Necrolord]

I was telling a friend about this story today, and realized it would be worthy of posting in "General Discussion".

When I was in high school, I had severe depression - I had to seek out my doctor on my own accord to get meds for it, which didn't even help that much. The depression created suicidal thoughts, and one day I actually read up on which poison would work. I'm 26 now, this was back in 2003.

DON'T EVER DO THIS: I drank a pint of antifreeze, which is extremely poisonous. It contains glycerine, so it tastes sweet. Don't try it lol.

I've always known I had a kickass immune system, as I hardly ever had to miss a day of work or school because of illness. I think that's why I DIDN'T EVEN GET SICK! I felt no symptoms at all, and at the time was slightly scared/disappointed. Well, it's 8 years later, and I've kept getting smarter and more physically able. I can probably conclude, it did nothing bad to my body. It's unbelieveable.

I took myself off the medication back in 2005, because I realized I had to change the way I think in order to manage depression. A change of your frame of mind can work to make yourself less sad and depressed.

Like Tyrion Lannister says, "Death is so final, but life - life is full of possibilities!", and I intend to make 2012 the year I've done the most with my life in.

Post your thoughts, or personal experiences.

And how does this relate to the -suicide command? Also, damn shame the anti-freeze didn't work.

[Goremancer]

I would never commit suicide. Ever. If I would, I would commit a homicide before that. 2012 is gonna be like any other year for me. Yea I know... Pretty boring.

Antifreeze is only fatal when administered over time.

2012 is the year the anti-christ is born, so. so yup.
nothing else to say other than, if you want to get poison, you will need this.

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm glad everything worked out ok. It must've taken quite a bit to post that.
I've had moments when I was depressed and thought about suicide, not committing it to myself but just thinking about it. I can say that at those times I didn't really care if I died the next day or not.

I'm not sure exactly how I feel about death tho. Even when I'm not depressed and think about death, I still imagine it would be ok. I'm not sure how I come to this conclusion but anyways that might be a bit of topic lol.

Anyways, I'm glad you stuck around ^^

So what now? Got any super powers from that freezer? There are so many better ways to suicide seriously. So bad.
How did you change your mentality to make your existence life worthy again? Did you do the "There are people who have more missfortune then I" Approach? Or "Society needs losers like me as well so other people can feel better if they see me?"
Maybe something total different?

A good way to avoid depression is playing sports.

Anyone who is normal should be able to at least TRY to play a sport. Playing a sport beats stress and depression

I actually agree. I would feel really down if I just stay home and is inactive. But after 2 hours of fencing I feel much happier. Which results in more video games PROFIT

Ways to avoid sucide:

1. Hard the fuck up.
2. There is no 2.

I welcome death anytime. I hate this world and I'm just waiting for the time to leave it. Death would be far easier if I don't have family, relatives and friends. Am I depressed and feeling suicidal? No. Had those before and know what they felt like. I'm just not interested in life.

For those contemplating suicide, just make sure to die for a good cause, and donate your organs to those pro-life people. Save a kid from an accident and die in their stead or something. Poisoning yourself and jumping off buildings will render your organs useless.

@Necrolord
You are just attempting suicide to get attention? Not really wanting to die do you?

@Apocist
That phrase only works for people thinking of suicide because they are stressed out due to an identifiable cause.

@Blazer
Somewhat agree with your experience.

@CmG
Different approach for different people.

@Crimson
Will only work for some.
