If you would ever kill yourself, how would you do it?

I wondor if he thought about what this was going to do to his family

Honestly...yes he most likely was BUT not in the sense you would think...He most likely truly believed in his heart and soul that his family would be better off without him...One thing NON-suicidal ppl need to realize and understand is that those of us who are/have been suicidal DO NOT see, think or feel the same way a right-minded person does or would...Our world and thoughts are upside down and backwards..In our eyes, minds and hearts, when we are in such a state we TRULY believe we are a burden to the ones we love IN ADDITION to feeling hopeless etc...

hi muscles, I know it's really sad. when I heard that someone just jumped in our building, my first thought was why? I mean, I really don't believe in taking your own life, cause I know there would always be an answer to all my problems. I thought of driving a car off the road also, but I have two problems, first of all, I don't have a car, and second I don't know how to drive. lol.

Well then if I could not drive my second choice would be to jump off a bridge into the water with heavy clothing on. But i would never kill myself. The only reason I can think of would be is I had an illness for which there was no cure and I was in alot of pain and out of money for medicine to ease the pain.

Hmm. well driving is really a painful death.. anyway, if you had an illness and there is no cure, and you're in a lot of pain, I think you could ask your doctor to just take your life.. I mean, isn't that legal in other countries?

Acutually since I live in the USA that is not an option and i really do not like doctors. So when I get sick I just stay home till I feel better even though it has taken as much as 2 months at one time.

2 months?! well, in that case, you must really hate doctors? If I may ask, why do you hate them so much? I mean, what if you're really sick? So still won't see one?

Hi feodda, I'm glad you have gotten past your depression stage, and that you're okay now. I just want to clarify one thing, you sleep with your surgical blade? why? and why do you even have a surgical blade? or you a doctor or something?

Sorry if I have too many questions. hehehe. I just thought that it's weird that you have a blade with you while you sleep.

Yes, I already passed my depression stage. With lots of diversion I did.

I'm in one of the Health care profession. One of my friend, is a medical student and he give me that for the class. I just keep it. When that time had happen, I think of my surgical blade. It is more sharp than the ordinary blade and its smaller.

ahhh. I see.. well, until now do you sleep with it?

Not anymore. I have thrown it in the garbage already. I am happy with my bf and my self. I am much contended with my Life.

yey for you! I hope you and your boyfriend would have a happy life together..

Thanks a lot. Hope you too... Wish you happiness in life and in love.

hi zandi, yep, I guess you're right. I think killing yourself is bad enough, and doing it at where it would attrack the media is just making it worse, specially for his loved ones. I can't imagine what his family is going through now. His death was actually covered by a lot of media, not only because he did it in the middle of a busy street, but also, when he fell, he tripped one of the power lines causing the building in the area to lose power...

I guess, he have a really big reason why he did that. I mean he won't just kill himself for nothing right?

I think this guy must have lost his self worth and feel his world has come to an end. His thinking was too limited and did not think deeply before taking his own life. This is stupidity and madness for revoking the life agreement that God has given to everyone during birth. How sad!

well, whatever his reasons may be, we will never know. It is really sad when people like him, does not really realize how beautiful life is... and that all the problems in life are just challenges...

well, it actually happened on the place where I live.. and the he came from the upper pent where the pool is.. So I guess I won't be going up there in the near future...

I have never thought of sleeping pills, until I read your and another member's response.. yeah, I think it's a good way to go, cause it's not painful.

DISCLAIMER:
Though, anyone reading this, please don't take this as a suggestion.. I, We do not suggest taking one's life, it's really not worth it, cause there are a lot of reasons to live for.

Oh yeah! Please no one read these posts and take them to heart!! Everyone has SOMEthing to live for...and if they don't think they do....go out, find new friends, have fun! lol.

well, that really is a good point. It's like you're just asking for it. hehehehe.. Atleast, you are quite happy before you die. plus you didn't really technically killed yourself. hehehe. You just made someone do it for you.

well, I'm really happy that you are still here. I'm glad you are okay with the help of your medication. I have never really met someone who was really on the verge of taking his or her own life.. And I myself have never felt it before. I guess it is really different when you walk on the shoes of the person on the other side.

I sure hope you'll get over your depression completely, and you could one day live a a happy life without your medications.

I agree. some people feel like there is no more hope in their lives.. I'm glad you are one of those people who just thinks that killing oneself is really not an option. I think how big a problem may be, there is always going to be a solution for it, and there would always be someone who would be willing to help you in times of trouble.

hi puddytat, I'm really sorry about your friend. Who knows what is going on in their minds when they took that jump... I guess, the guy who did it felt that there is no one that could help him... and that there is noone that would listen to him..

that's fine, my friend must have had alot on his mind to take his own life, like you said here, maybe this guy who jumped though ttha there was no one to help an just took his life, it was a very brave thing for him to do, i mean jumping 25 floors to his death must have been terrifying when he was falling, no turning back, nothing to grb on to, so that's what i mean about brave, it takes alot of guts for someone to actually go that one step further, i know that my friend is resting in peace now, he's safe where he is, and for what ever reasons he did it, he is forgiven....

yeah, I know, that was what I was thinking about.. to be able to climb that ledge and see how high you are, and then actually force yourself to jump.. It would take a lot of guts.. I don't know how one could do that... it's really sad.

Yeah, I have never thought about that, I mean, that he may have done something that he cannot just forgive himself, that's why he killed himself..

anyway, maybe I can sign a waiver, so that the person who I would hire to kill me won't get jailed or something. hahaha.

Hmmm. that's quiet painless I guess.. But my problem would be, I wouldn't know where to get heroin. lol. Anyway, I think a lot of people wouldn't really jump from a high building.. It needs a really really depressed person, and a determined mind to do that.

Oh here you can get the evil heroin easily enough, and of bad enough quality to kill you quite easily.
I tried tio imagine what it would be like impacting on the ground having jumped from a high building
Knowing my luck I would have my fall broken, still be alive but paralysed and even more depressed than I was to start with.

LOL. The guy who jumped, his fall was broken alright, but that actually ended his life.. Cause he took one powerline, and it short circuited so he got electrecuted.. Quite morbid if I must say.. I think he really planned to do that, cause you wouldn't really want to be able to jump off a building, and in the end, you'll only get broken bones and extreme humiliation if I may say..
