Suicide

Suicide is the willful act of killing oneself. Suicide can also refer to an individual who has killed himself.  According to official statistics, about a million people commit suicide annually, more than those murdered or killed in war. As of 2001 in the USA, suicides outnumber homicides by 3 to 2 and deaths from AIDS by 2 to 1.

    I think about it more than I care to admit. Random things make me think about how it once felt, from the beginning to the end, and I start to remember..I remember the cold air and wondered if it bothered you.I wished for the sun to warm you and to help you find your way home.I remember the familiar itch in my body, waking me during the night.I asked the shadows what you were doing and hoped you were safe and sound.I remember with difficulty your smile, how your presence once engulfed me.And I wish I had back that time so I could remember things once more.What once happened yesterday is now what once happened months ago, and you're dying quickly in my failing mind.So I ask for you to see me once more and say something, one more thing...but you remain hidden i...
  • Just lost in a Simple Game of Cat and Mouse? Fri, May 02, 2008 - [view]
    While my standardized testing is over, and I have decided to stick with homeschooling through high school, I am feeling lost. Astray from what I could be. I know what comes with staying home these next four years. It's not long, and yes I'm nervous. I'm scared. I don't want to screw up.  Those feelings of being lost and depressed are really getting to me. My siblings are screaming and yelling more and my parents are bickering more. When that happens my mom leans on me for support. I don't mind giving it, but when I'm this stressed I come off as a whiny brat when I can't explain myself maturely enough. My piano teacher is noticing that my quality of music on the keys is suffering. She knows that I've been working hard in school but she also knows...

    Sorry I haven't been on lately. People haven't really been talking to me, or maybe it is me who haven't been talk to people. Whatever the case is, doesn't matter.  I have been gone this past week. I was in a mental health facility because I tried to commit suicide (OD). They kept me in there for 6 nights, 7 days. I pretended like everything is ok and I was happy, just so I can get out. I just want to die and end it all, no more pain. Yet, every time I smell death's sweet aroma, something gets in my way.   Well,  Just wanted to let people on here I am back and whatnot. :/

Suicide

Questions recently asked by other users

  • Suicide is my last resort!!! My nickname is Kiba and I am 19 years old. I suffer from depression, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, autism, chronic pain, allergies, vision problems, hearing loss, restless leg syndrome, foot/leg problems, over weight, migraines, speech problems, and cutting. I know that there are people in the world that have it worst than me but at the same time I know the life that was dealt to me straight up sucks. As a child I lived in a 2 bedroom apartment with 5 people, 3 dogs, 6 cats, 3 birds, and fish. I was abused for 12 years by my brother and others throughout my years in school I was abused, bulled, and picked on by all the people. Half way threw the school grade latter me and my parents moved into a 3 bedroom house but by then we had 7 people, 3 dogs, 9 cats, 4 birds, and fish. As the years went on I was still being abused, bulled, picked on till this day. Now I still live with my parents but there are only 3 people, 2 dogs, and 10 cats. It is not that I don't love my family but they don't understand me and my problems. I get into verbal fights with my family at least 4 times a day if not more. My parents know about my problems but don't except them so they don't except me. I try to mask everything but sooner or later I have a brake down. I have ended up in the hospital 7 times for attempted suicide but I’m feeling lucky that number 8 will do it for me. To put it playing and simple I am sick and tired of all the crap in my life. My family hates me. My past sucks. No one likes me. My best friend that considered me her son and I considered her my second mother killed herself and it’s my entire fault. I can’t stop cutting. I keep getting labeled with more medical problems. I hate myself. I am a hopeless cause, a waste of time/space/money, and an outcast in life. Well wish me Luck!!!

  • Is suicide ever logical? For me suicide is the only logical thing to do, if I only had the guts. The reason I don't tell people about my problems is because everyone thinks they can help me, but they cant, and the only help they give is very illogical in my opinion. Its usually something like; you should live because think about the people you hurt by doing it. Illogical because when I'm dead I don't give a shit about anyone I hurt when I was alive, how does any of that matter when my mind is completely eliminated? The only person who will be hurt for more than one day is my mom, and even though I love her I think she deserves it for not having an abortion when she should, a single parent with no education and no money, she might aswell have bought me a gun. Then theres mental illness, people would just want to put me on zombie medication that makes me indifferent enough about life to not kill myself.. Why the hell would I want that? In my well thought out opinion suicide is not always a mental illness, some people have so many problems that if they were NOT suicidal it would be pretty weird and probably a mental illness. Like if a paralyzed person in constant pain enjoyed life very much, there is something wrong with him. Then its the "cry for help" theory, another reason I don't tell anyone because they think I actually want to live, that my urge for suicide is just a cry for help. The only help I want is getting over the fear of killing myself, thats it.
