Suicide

zadavias_spirit · Out of This World

Definitley thought of doing it.

Mistress of Fear · Martian

Any time I ever said I was going to kill myself. Was when I was very upset and even than it was just an empty threat

Luc Bunny · Loonatic

Failing in school, being bullied, and getting blamed for nothing by the teachers.

I have thought a lot about commiting suicide, but when I moved, all those thoughts went away.

Crossfire · Frelengian

Sorry, but I`ll have to move this to the Controversy section. It belongs moreso there.

Also...my answer is NEVER!

EDIT: Strange...I don`t appear to have mod powers in this section. Ah well. It`s probably for the best.

Ditto with me. Never tryed or thought about comiting Suicide.

doggirl2772 · Out of This World

With everything thats happened to me in the past 4 years, I've thought about it a few times. That was when everything I kept inside for a long time exploded out and I thought I couldn't take it no more. I did run away from home twice, just for a few hours though. Most of my threats are when I'm really depressed and most of them are empty threats to myself.

techfan979 · MagykWire

Wow, I never thought the 2nd answer would exceed the 1st. You should never threaten with suicide in my opion.

kari bunny · Out of This World

Nope never.

Dragon Wing · Gone

Never seriously thought about it. I think it's because when I look at people like my brother (who is severely autistic/mentally retarded), I never really consider my problems to be that big.

techfan979 · MagykWire

Actuelly it doesnt matter if people are materially richer or poorer than yourself. You can still be much worse off than them in life. If bill gates was suffering from clinical depression, while some poor african child is having the time of his life making drawings in the dirt with a stick... whos really better off?

XtreamCrazy · BUT MY CHEESE WILL GET COLD. D8

I don't know, i've never actually thought of doing it in the sense that I'm thining about how nice it would be to 'end my suffering', but i've thought about doing it in the sense that I was curious to imagine everyone else's reactions. But of course I'd never do it, my life isn't that bad. 8D

techfan979 · MagykWire

Well with the world population increasing at alarming rates... I think alot of you who answered never might think again in 30 years or so.

The worlds population is caculated to hit 9,3 billion in 2050, there isnt enough food for 9,3 billion people. That means starvation, starvation makes struggle for food, the struggle makes war, the war and starvation makes death. War and starvation is also bad for the economy which makes poverty, so the future pretty much holds death and poverty.

Dragon Wing · Gone

Meh. And if not overpopulation, global climate change will kill us. And if not that, a destructive asteroid will kill us. And if not that, the supervolcano forming under Yellowstone will kill us. And if not that, the exponential growth of technology will kill us. And if not that, widespread disease will kill us. And if not, a surprise galaxy colliding with ours will kill us.

There are many things that everyone is telling us could kill us. I'm fairly sure this has been common theme asserted by mankind throughout its existance. But we're still here. If these situations are really completeley unavoidable (which I won't immediately give absolute credit to), then why wallow over them?

XtreamCrazy · BUT MY CHEESE WILL GET COLD. D8

...

I feel depressed now. D8

techfan979 · MagykWire

I didnt say it would kill us! Its just going to make the world a very... nasty place. The problem will balance itself out because the war and starvation will take care of the overpopulation.

Its grizzly, but its going to happen.

XtreamCrazy · BUT MY CHEESE WILL GET COLD. D8

I don't want the world to be a nasty place! I want there to be happiness and peace and ppl vomitting rainbows! 8D

But yes, I can only imagine that there would be overpopulation in the future. But maybe we'll have worked something out by then? Maybe, before the world gets too bad, we'll have found a solution to the problem? Maybe by then we'll have sufficient technology to adequately search our galaxy? Maybe we we'll find a planet that's capable of sustaining life? Maybe we could ship some people over to that planet and form a colony? Maybe when the population of that planet grows, we'll call said planet Acmetropolis? Then maybe, one day in the year 2772, a meteor will strike the city planet of Acmetropolis knocking it off its axis, and the force of this cosmic event will unleash a new type of...

Shutting up now...

(BTW techfan, what episode did that screen shot in your siggie come from? it's been bugging me for days. XD )

techfan979 · MagykWire

Well Xtreamcrazy, your out of luck. I dont mean to sound like some sort of psychopath, but every 3 seconds someone dies of starvation IN AFRICA. Then if you plus the amount of people in the WORLD that die of starvation, then disease, then homicide... well thats a whole lot of nastieness.

I got the screenshot from a creep in the deep. Its the one with the killer dolphins.

There are some conditions worse than death.

XtreamCrazy · BUT MY CHEESE WILL GET COLD. D8

Ah, yes, the part where Duck tries to show the team his new power and he splashes Ace in the face? (ha! rhymage)

I know all that. I went to a Poverty Convention not long ago and everyday the News brings forth a wave of horrible happenings around the world. There is a lot of nastiness on this planet and there wouldn't be a way of stopping -all- of it because of the differences in peoples' opinions of one another and the fact that we're all human and we all do stupid, stupid things. I'm just saying that the least we could do is be optimistic about it... Right?

Well, I'm going to be anyway.

Now I shall post a random smiley face to show my optimism.

8D

Yay for optimism.

The episode was called "Creep from the Deep" if you or Techfan wondered. I like the siggy pic too. Although it's meant to be naughty or something, I have a feeling what it meant but I can't say. Too rude

XtreamCrazy · BUT MY CHEESE WILL GET COLD. D8

It's too rude to say that it looks like Tech spoofed all over Ace?

...

My bad. XD

techfan979 · MagykWire

The smart thing is that it isnt really sopgoe, so it isnt really a naughty pic. You just have to understand it the right way.

Techy_Coyote · Beast

Well, ever since 2 years ago till now (13 to 15 years old), suicide came to my mind, Even now I feel suicidal... Everything in the world seems crashing down onto me...

I suffer from depression myself, if you wanna talk about it Techy. I probably cant solve anything for you, but talking about things always helps.

Same, but whenever I thought of it, I frantically pushed it away. I am discusted at myself for thinking that, and I get on with my life (which is great, by the way).

You shouldnt be disgusted at yourself.

Its a much more valid consideration if your life ISNT so great.

Twilightgirl · Anthros

I've never thought "I want to commit suicide" but I have wondered what would happen if I did.

Mostly, I thought of how angry and upset my family and friends would be and how my death would affect those I know.

And I then I reliesed that I'd miss everyone too much.

And in the words of "The Watchman":

"If you want to die, ask not why you are doing it but ask yourself this; Who loves you and why would you hurt them by making something they love die?"

techfan979 · MagykWire

Ahh... but if you are so unhappy youd rather be dead, then are you not living simpely for the sake of the people around you? If your life is so miserable doesnt it pain those around you anyway?
Just another way to look at it.

But, the best thing to do is to get treatment. Depression is the most successfully treated mental illness there is. Although if its really a mental illness or not is controversy in my opion. In the old days homosexuality was listed as a mental illness, and you even gave people shock therapy for it!

Jetsir · Martian

Nope, never thought of it. My life's too good, and even if all that stuff happens to the world, I'd rather be killed than take my life away myself. I'm sorry if this offends anyone, but I see suicide as the coward's way out. I'd much rather live through my problems and look towards the silver lining than make it all go away and make my problems someone else's.

This topic really should go into the controversy section.

techfan979 · MagykWire

No, its definately not only the cowards way out. It all depends on who and why. There are simply
some people who have nothing to live for, but pointlessly rome around in unhappieness.

It should, but we need a mod to do that.

Jetsir · Martian

Techfan, I gave an opinion, not a fact. It is my personal belief and I am rather offended that you would insult it.

techfan979 · MagykWire

Excuse me? I did not insult anything, I simply said it is not always ''The cowards way out'' it depends on person and situation, thats all I said!

dOMITUPSYK · Loonatic

Got to side with Techfan on this one, all he did was give his side of it. As far as I'm concerned however, I'm sort of on the fence. It depends on the situation, really. For me, it would be the cowards way out- I have cats that depend on me and friends who'd hate to see me go. I couldn't do that to either of them. Not saying I didn't try at one point, but I am ashamed of it, because I wasn't thinking of anyone but myself at that point.

Consider this, though:

There's a guy that stands on your street corner everyday. He's obviously homeless and begging for change. He has no family and no friends, even the dogs don't want anything to do with him. No company will give him a job because he's dirty, although he could clean up if they'd just give him a job. He has no one to talk to, nothing to do, nothing to eat, nowhere to go, and no money to buy anything with.

I don't know about anyone else, but I wouldn't want to be in that position. I'd kill myself for sure. It was hard enough those 2 years we didn't have much to eat, let alone living like that with no end in sight.

techfan979 · MagykWire

Yes, but should you live YOUR life for THEIR sake, when you'd otherwise kill yourself?

I'm condradicting myself abit here, since I've dedicated my life to mankind, but living your life only for the sake of your friends... is something else.

Would your friends want you to live your life when you wanted to end it, just for them?

dOMITUPSYK · Loonatic

Yeah, but I've got to admit, that was pretty much the only reason for living at that point was the joy I got out of knowing SOMEONE cared. Now it's because I may just be getting help. Yay! Pills! Pills will make me happy. I hope... :/

techfan979 · MagykWire

They should, what else could work more than directly manipulating your brains chemistry?

I prefer not to seek treatment.

dOMITUPSYK · Loonatic

I do. I'm sick of being moody and everything else. DX I want to be me again...

I'm crazier than this, I'm more upbeat and fun... bi-polar maketh I sadness and all blagh. Except when it makes me too crazy... O_o

1.) As someone who has had a close friend commit suicide I can tell you it's not exactly a terrific thing to go through.

That being said.

2.) Having the knowledge that there are people who care about you is a damn good reason not to commit suicide.

techfan979 · MagykWire

No, its not nice, but would you rather have jessica lived a life she wanted to end for your sake?

If a person finds sufficient comfort in that fact, fine, but I dont see it as any reason to continue a life so bad you want to end, being a severely depressed person I know this.

steve123 · Frelengian

Never for me. i gonna be alive for a long time.

techfan979 · MagykWire

You cant know what will happen to you in the future.

steve123 · Frelengian

Good point.

LoonaticsF · Loonatic

*sigh* I've been thinking of commiting it since i was six.
Gone close to commiting i must say...
I'm actually still thinking of it.
But the worst thing i've ever done is a kinda deep cut on my thumb. I could never go further than that...
