"Contemplating suicide?"

Suicide. Killing yourself. Ending insignificance and monotomy. What is the meaning of life? No one knows. What is our purpose? To reproduce, to keep the species going, to survive.

But what's the point? If your down, why not contemplate suicide? Many do, but most of them are chickens, seeking attention. If you wanted to kill yourself, you wouldn't OD in your room, you'd lie solitary, propped against a wall bordering a field and swallow the vast array of tablets you'd been collecting. If I was going to commit suicide, I'd take out my enemy's first.

Anyway, how are you all...

Bingo.

I've suffered badly from depression myself - it pretty much stole two years of my life and would have ruined my life completely had I not had an immensively supportive family and loyal friends. It's almost impossible to describe depression and even now I find it hard to empathise properly with people who are depressed, despite having gone through it myself. I strongly believe it was what I did (with some prompting from a psychologist and my family) rather than the drugs I was given that changed my situation - but psycholgical help was the last thing I was offered. Drugs are cheaper, I suppose.

But for god's sake don't avoid getting some help. Flockhart, I don't know whether you've been treated for your depression or what but, impossible as it is to believe, people have gone through what you've gone through and come out the other side. Whatever I write now would sound hollow and flimsy but I think that if you fight it then you'll beat it, or at least make it p*ss off for awhile.

Don't you shake your head at me like that boy. Now say sorry.

*shakes head sternly at E_B*

Yes you will. Why? Because I say so.

I said sorry the second time for being wrong the first time lol. I will not say sorry again though:P

Why are you apologising?

It was to do with work.

Sorry I just thought I better say sorry for your loss because I didn't know who close you were to the deceased and didn't want to seem disrespectful or whatever just by ignoring that comment and not at least saying sorry:)

I didn't lose someone close to me, so don't feel sorry for me, I have just SEEN what it is like after someone has done it.

I agree one hundred percent with you E_B and I'm sorry you lost someone to suicide. I'm glad you agree with me though in saying that only those that TRULY want to and have a drive to like the person you mention actually do it. There are a significant amount of other people that don't do it despite fully wanting to.

Of course it is not easy to kill yourself. But what I was saying is that if someone truly “wants” to end it, they will.

To me what you were suffering from sounds like depression. I have seen people go through it, I have seen self-harmers, I will not insult you by pretending that this means I understand what you were feeling though.

I have seen suicide, I have seen someone that truly wanted to end it, and believe me, he did it in such a way as there would be no saving him.
