Ending it all

[Drake]

Um not a nice topic. take it from some one that has experienced all sides EXCEPT one, suicides is bad. The people I've known to have succeeded don't seam to be any better off than before but I do know three people who have tried and failed. After they were rushed to the hospital and got help there lives turned around for the better. Now one is living in California, is married and last I heard was very happy. One is living in Hawaii(sp and I'm to lazy to look it up) with a friend and not doing so bad. And the last I'm prode(sp) to call mother. She's doing a lot better. I to have thought and come very close to committing suicide, I was lucky enough to have a friend nearby that stopped me. even now I'm not happy wiht my life but atleast I have a chance to have a better one. so maybe you can see I've had a little experience in this sobject and if you ever need to talk my E-mail address is in my profile.

BTW if this was just a random question with nothing but curiousity(sp)
behind it than I'm very sorry for writting this Hierophant. better save than sorry I suppose.

True. You can make a better life for yourself. And you'll end up dead soon enough anyway.

"Suicide is a permanant solution to a temporary problem." Get help, Heirophant. It's just a phone call away. You will be glad that you did.

[The Hierophant]

Heh, I don't need help. I was just curious.
When it comes down to it I guess I'd never be able to muster the courage to go through with it anyway.

actually, suicide matters ALOT on this question - what will happen then? will you go to a dreamy world which is much better than reality? will you have to sit in darkness with no emotions for an eternity? will you go to hell, heaven or whatever?
think about it: if people would somehow know that if we die, we go to a much better place, then the number of suicides would be much higher and vice versa.
because nobody knows nothing of what will happen then, people should better stay away from the thoughts of killing themselves.

But these replies have been interesting I must say. It's good to know that some people can show concern for a complete stranger.

It's usually not a case of 'it'll be better in death' so much as 'anything to stop what's happening now'.

Remember what you have to be thankfull for, and that the past isn't a shadow that will follow you around, it is something that happened and isn't happening now, so you can move on and be happy, there's no point to your life if you waste it being depressed...

Actually, it is not so much about what I care about what they care about me( although I do know they will care because the feeling is pretty much mutual), but that if I die now, it means I sort of gave up. I do not intend to go out that way.

Exactly. Sometimes depression can't be helped.

But anyways this is all just stupid. Sorry for bringing this ridiculous conversation up. My fault. Carry on.
