I know this is on the border of what is acceptable for the Off-Topic Forum, but I was wondering if anyone knows anyone who has committed suicide and what led to it?

This is probably going to get locked, but everyday or almost everyday.

The thought crosses my mind on a really bad day, but that's about it.

No. I'm not really happy, but I never really consider it.

I used to. I've dealt with depression since I was 17, but I've been doing a lot better over this past year (now 24).

I still have some depressed thoughts every now and then, particularly when I'm stressed out, but they very rarely turn suicidal anymore.

I believe that thinking of suicide is fairly common. Everyone has thought about it, but not nearly to the point where they are even considering it as a realistic option. We love to over exaggerate everything and our thoughts are no exception.

Being suicidal is a completely different matter.

No, because I know no matter how bad things get life can change overnight. Most change happens rapidly, in fact, and often you don't even see it coming.

I've been low before, especially during my divorce, but things eventually got better with a bit of effort and elbow grease.

Yes, especially a few years ago, when things went really down hill. It was probably the lowest I'd ever been in life. Since then I've been trying to cope with all the shit that's been going on.

Not as depressed as I used to be, but still far from where I'd like to be emotionally. Definitely don't wanna feel that way ever again. Of course, there's no guarantees with life.

Yeah. I hate it when people say being suicidal is selfish. That may be true in a sense, but in most cases you aren't trying to be selfish. When you have a chemical imbalance or you are suffering from a really bad health problem, it's hard to think straight and you just don't want to suffer anymore.

Yes all the time but I'm too much of a coward to actually go and do it.

My life basically sucks because:

1. I am a 29 year-old virgin.

2. I never had a girlfriend or had sex and I'm already nearing 30.

3. I have physical health problems and a disability which prevents me from working and making money.

4. I have this fear of getting injured which also prevents me from having a normal life, going to work and making money.

Because the last time I was injured the injury was extremely painful for me so I have this fear of getting severely injured again. And this fear of getting injured is preventing me from having a normal life.

So ending your life because you can't take it anymore means you're not a pussy, but not going through with suicide means you are a pussy?

Anyway, I'm a little disturbed by the number of people on here that have actually thought about doing it. Are you all really that unhappy?

No reason to be happy when:

1. You have interests that no one has or no one cares about.

2. No reason to be happy in life when you know the only thing you will look forward to is the afterlife and you fear you will go to hell instead.

3. No reason to be happy when you feel so different from everyone else and feel like you can never genuinely relate to people, even on the Internet.

4. No reason to be happy when you want to be better at something such as mathematics, but you know it will never happen because you have a learning disability and was not gifted in order to take honors courses in Middle School & High School and instead had to take courses for people with a learning disability; the exact opposite of what honor courses are.

5. No reason to be happy when you get angry, jealous, and / or envious of other people being in a relationship on a daily basis, either it be on television, the Internet, or in everyday life.

6. No reason to be happy when you feel the person you are quoting has it much better than you ever will.

7. No reason to be happy when you know you cannot even organize or think about what you want to say in a timely manner in order to communicate with people properly and you have lived your entire life this way.

8. No reason to be happy when you know you have interest that would be frowned upon, not because it is harmful or bad, but because it is not appropriate for your gender or age.

I think it is more to it than that, I believe you know this. Besides, I want an actual relationship and connection with a women, not something temporary and fake that revolves around something I hardly care about.

It's not just about sex, or even the emotional benefits of a relationship.

Look at it this way. A guy gets low self esteem, feelings of rejection, and inferiority beaten into him by parents and others early in his life. Later this turns into social anxiety and insecurity severally damaging his prospects with the opposite sex. Rejection by the opposite sex further fuels feelings of overall rejection and a sense of inferiority compared to other males.

I tried to commit suicide two weeks ago.Bought a Gun and everything. But the cops caught me and talk to me. I was in the hospital for a few days. So yeah I had it. And I still get those thoughts. But prayer and medical help is helping cope I guess.

Wow.

Ok, you have two options.

1. Continue living this way and feel sad about your situation. I guarantee you you're only going to continue to isolate yourself from other people if you do.

2. Start f*cking embracing life. Realize that we're ALL human, we've ALL got problems, and we all want to be socially accepted. Everything you've listed above is completely normal for a person to want or have doubts in. Start learning a new language. Take a cooking class. For f*ck sakes, go volunteer at a homeless shelter. The more you reach out to other people, and the more effort you put into it, the happiness will follow.



You can either start embracing where you're at, what you like and what you're afraid of. Or you can continue to cry and whine "poor little me". I guarantee you the latter is not the better option. The more you reject what you like, reject your position in life, the unhappier you're going to be. The less happy you are, the less likely you're going to be to attract any friends (let alone a girlfriend). In fact, I would say that you should AVOID trying to get a girlfriend at this stage in your life and focus on developing friendships with people who share common interests.

Sure, everyone does. But I would never take pills or cut myself. I would go out in an awesome way.

Like dying in space, or shooting myself with a 17th century cannon, or getting killed by sharks.

It's why I ride a motorbike.

7. No reason to be happy when you know you cannot even organize or think about what you want to say in a timely manner in order to communicate with people properly and you have lived your entire life this way.

8. No reason to be happy when you know you have interest that would be frowned upon, not because it is harmful or bad, but because it is not appropriate for your gender or age.

lol...wow. About 90% of these people should just call an 'escort' and get over it.

I think it is more to it than that, I believe you know this. Besides, I want an actual relationship and connection with a women, not something temporary and fake that revolves around something I hardly care about.

Wow.

Ok, you have two options.

1. Continue living this way and feel sad about your situation. I guarantee you you're only going to continue to isolate yourself from other people if you do.

2. Start f*cking embracing life. Realize that we're ALL human, we've ALL got problems, and we all want to be socially accepted. Everything you've listed above is completely normal for a person to want or have doubts in. Start learning a new language. Take a cooking class. For f*ck sakes, go volunteer at a homeless shelter. The more you reach out to other people, and the more effort you put into it, the happiness will follow.

You can either start embracing where you're at, what you like and what you're afraid of. Or you can continue to cry and whine "poor little me". I guarantee you the latter is not the better option. The more you reject what you like, reject your position in life, the unhappier you're going to be. The less happy you are, the less likely you're going to be to attract any friends (let alone a girlfriend). In fact, I would say that you should AVOID trying to get a girlfriend at this stage in your life and focus on developing friendships with people who share common interests.

Care to elaborate?

Edit: Actually, I see above why you're being such a dick. I recognize that clinical depression is chemically demonstrable in people. I also recognize useless perceptions people have about themselves and their lives.

Is what I've said going to help him if he's clinically depressed? Probably not. But if he's just feeling bad about where he's at, hopefully it will.

Anyway, I'm a little disturbed by the number of people on here that have actually thought about doing it. Are you all really that unhappy?

I have learned on the internet that a surprising number of people are miserable. Sad, really.

I admit, I am surprised about it, but anyways,

No reason to be happy when:

1. You have interests that no one has or no one cares about.

2. No reason to be happy in life when you know the only thing you will look forward to is the afterlife and you fear you will go to hell instead.

3. No reason to be happy when you feel so different from everyone else and feel like you can never genuinely relate to people, even on the Internet.

4. No reason to be happy when you want to be better at something such as mathematics, but you know it will never happen because you have a learning disability and was not gifted in order to take honors courses in Middle School & High School and instead had to take courses for people with a learning disability; the exact opposite of what honor courses are.

5. No reason to be happy when you get angry, jealous, and / or envious of other people being in a relationship on a daily basis, either it be on television, the Internet, or in everyday life.

6. No reason to be happy when you feel the person you are quoting has it much better than you ever will.

7. No reason to be happy when you know you cannot even organize or think about what you want to say in a timely manner in order to communicate with people properly and you have lived your entire life this way.

8. No reason to be happy when you know you have interest that would be frowned upon, not because it is harmful or bad, but because it is not appropriate for your gender or age.

I was using that as an example of ignorant people telling other people to control uncontrollable aspects of their mind.

Look, I have this for example.

There are real pyschological disorders out there, you can't angrily throw a "Start fucking embracing life" them and expect good things. In fact, it tends to make the person feel much worse about themselves.

And I'm not even going to speculate on what Glitter's mind is like...
