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

Okay, I'm not being morbid here, but just last friday, a man jumped from the top of our condominium building to his death, taking a power cable, and some tree branches with him. Our building has 25 floors, it's pretty high actually. It just got me thinking, how big could your problem be, to push you to go up 25th floors, climb the ledge, see how high you are, and then actually jump to the road below. I don't think I can do it, even if my problem is really really big. If I would ever try to kill myself, I think I would definitely ask someone who could kill me. I don't think I can do it myself.

Before I really thinking of killing myself. I use my surgical blade. I always sleep with it. But things change, I have love myself now. I should be thankful of the Life I have. And I should count all the blessing I have and been given to me by God. As they say, Live life into fullest.

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.

Just saying only if it can be seen on the internet.. We don't have alot of money to travel, most don't.. I know kids that have never been to an amusment park. Mine have never been to disney, we can't afford it, but thankfully I can say I have been to 6 flags and my sister took us all to Universal Studios.. Just saying for some that can't get out, atleast look at the beauties online, online is something to be grateful for too, alot of us take our computer for granted like us, my kids and I waited for a computer for sometime and just got one.. Life is beautiful

Yeah, I guess, in the end you just have to really believe that life is just too beautiful, and that everything would be alright in the end.

When I have a big problem, I always think to end it by killing myself. I had the thoughts that i cannot handle, simply Iam being a coward. Jumping on a creek is my idea because I don't know how to swim. i don't want to stab myself or slash my pulse using a blade. I think I will die more seeing my own blood rather that the hurt by a knife. I don't want to drink poison, I don't like it. Over dose myself with sleeping pills, is my other option. But why do I kill myself? I enjoy my life even I have many problems. I still have so much to do with my life. I know i can't kill myself, and I will not try those kind that will extract my own blood.

Sadly, I believe there is no clean creek here in my country. I still be saved by the garbage isn't it?

Hehehe. A lot of us here have thought about it once in our life, but really, we have no plans on doing it.. Life is to beautiful to end your own life, and no matter what the problems one may face, there will always be a solution to it. Jumping on a creek is a good idea if you really can't swim. Just make sure that there won't be too many garbage on the creek cause they may help you float. lol.

I think I would go and pick a fight with the my most arch rivals by myself. That would be fun! I get to kill a bunch of them before I get killed first. Geez, I can't of anything else to do it with a real bang. Ah, yes, I got it. I would tie a freakin bomb around me and blow myself up with some of the most corrupt politicians in my country. I would do a ton of favor for my manipulated country men. Nothing beats that. Lol.

Not yet thought off. rather you have given a new thought. let me think on the issue. By the by, why should i do that. Despite, many problems in this world none of us should do that. So what the nature of problem is, all clouds have a shinning edge.

That is so true.. well, this is purely theoretical question.. I don't think any of those who answered really plan on doing it.. I think we all agree that life is just too precious to do it..

If i were to kill myself it would have to be very epic and showy. 1. I would jump out of an airplane. 2. I would be carried 2 miles by seagulls 3. Then i would be struck by lightning. 4. Then i would fall into the water and be eaten by a giant shark.

hi nicapol.. well, that is just one creative way of doing it.. But it would be too painful for me. lol.

I will kill myself through the suffering and agony of experencing "old age". Either that or I shall begin seducing the beautiful young desirable insatiable wives of violent jealous men until one of them does me in. It is such a difficult choice that I have not made up my mind.
• Philippines
19 Oct 09
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.

Oh! I am so sorry that happened! I know if someone killed themselves at my work (whether I knew them or not) I would have a hard time going back there...it would take some time! I've actually thought about starting a conversation like this a few times, but for some reason always decided against it...even though really, it's not that bad! lol If I were to kill myself (although I dont see it ever happening because, even when I'm sad and stressed, I have so much to live for--my nieces/nephew, other family) I would probably choose to take sleeping pills. I've never researched it or anything, BUT it just seems like it would be the least painful way to go.

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, 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.

If I were to do this I would look for the simplest way. Like going out onto the highway in the middle of the night, waiting for a speeding car and just walking out into the dark road before the car reaches me. In a flash, you're gone. Secondly, if you are in a state of real despair you would not think much about what you are doing in the sober sense. You would most likely just go and do something to kill yourself without much sober thinking.

I would never do that. I have known 3 different families where someone in their family has killed their selves and it ripped their families apart and really hurt the people they left behind who loved them. It makes everyone who loved the person think that they were not important enough or good enough to keep that person a live, it is cruel, and leaves people with questions for the rest of their lives. Not to mention it is a waste of a life. There is nothing so bad in life that you can not work through. If you don't like your life change it, but don't just end it, that is the cowardly way out. Therefore what I am saying is there is no good way to kill yourself because you shouldn't do it.

That's such a good answer.. I agree with you that life is just too precious to waste it. Plus you are just hurting your family and friends when you do that.. Killing oneself is never the answer to any problem. there will always be someone whom you could talk to and just help you get through your problem.

I would kill myself with kindness. It may take 70 or 80 years but I would have the greatest fun watching myself squirm.

if i would ever have to kill myself,i would do it before the person i love the most--my girlfriend..biding her goodbye and good wishes and happiness and saying that she was my breathe..and i put close her eyes and try my level best to put off my breathe and move to heaven..i know killing yourself is too tough,it needs dare,but still even if i could gather enough courage to do that,i would do it before my girlfriend
• Philippines

But wouldn't be that extremely traumatic to your girlfriend.. plus I don't think she would let you kill yourself, even if you're not in front of her.

I would just do it the least painful way. I would probably take a whole bunch of sleeping pills, go to sleep, and.....I guess that would be the end. As sad as it sounds, if I ever got to that point in my life, that is how I would go out.
