Have you ever SERIOUSLY thought of commiting suicide?

Have suicidal thoughts ever come to your head? Was there a time in your life which made you so desperate and helpless, that the only "rational" thing you can think of is taking your own life? As depressed as I am, I've NEVER been there. Thankfully, suicidal thoughts don't come to my head whenever I'm having problems. I've always see to it that I can tell myself that I'm bigger than my problems. And it works. Anyone here who thinks different? Have you ever had these kinds of thoughts?

Thankfully, I have such a supporting family and friends that I have always been able to sort out my problems on my own, knowing that they are there for me if I turn to them.

when i was young, I had some stupid attempts, over love affairs, but looking back, I know I was young, stupid and restless. The only good and valid reason now would be for my loved ones (wife and kid) to pass away... But I do not want to conceive that!

thats not a reason for you or anyone to take his own life, thats a reason for you to be strong. i know you love your family very much but dont think like that ok.

please stop talking like that, i beg of you. you live for them yes, but you should remember that you live for your self and others too. like i said before, i know you love them very much; i love my family too, maybe much more than i love myself but i still wouldn't do that. (take own life) but anyways, that wont happen ok, so you have nothing to worry about.

there are times when i feel like i want to die, but no never thought of actually killing myself, i really dont think i could do that. it takes someone who is depressed and really brave to take his/her own life i'm not depressed and i am certainly not that brave

Let see. My life isn't perfect and I had a lot of bad moments. But I have never give up. Sure I decidet to throw it all away, but always my friends makes myself better. Anyway, the most important thing is doing all your best. You should never said "I lost it but I didn't all my best." Greets
