ok i was on a forum recently and there was a poll about suicide and more than half of the ppl that voted have considered it at one stage or another! i really want to hear ppls views on it bcos this was only irish ppl that voted! and maybe irish ppl are just extremely depressed ppl! so let me no wat ur views on it are please!


Well, I've attempted suicide about four times in my life (but I am a diagnosed manic-depressive). Haven't even considered it in the past four years or so, since my medication was adjusted to the right level. And of course I've been in a stable, happy relationship with a great, understanding guy, which helps too.
So yeah, my last suicide attempt was when I was about 19. I was bulimic at the time as well. And life can be crap sometimes. I don't regret it though, because looking back it obviously helped me get to where I am now, got the docs/shrinks etc to help me and now I'm a lot better ... does that make sense?

er yes. i wont get into my own problems.. but self harm is a way of life for some people. i mean yes, i do it, and yes, i know its wrong, but it helps more than anything i know.
on the downside my whole fucking life revolves around that little knife blade. i cant go swimming in the summer i cant weare tshirts.. ive screwed myself over.. so yah..

i've only cut a couple of times. it dosnt solve anything. in fact it makes even more problems for people.
when times have been really bad yes i have to admit i have thought about suicide... but i'd never have the bottle to acutally do it- which i suposse is a good thing really

Suicide = selfish.
I've thought about killing myself a lot, but I've found out that it's just stupid. What about my family.. or friends? I don't know how it is to be so depressed that you seriously TRY to take your life, so I don't know how it is. But anyway. It's selfish.

its scary, i first thought about killing myself when i was nine years old. i tried countless times from the age of nine to the age of twelve, but now im not so bad and i've realised that there are many, many people i hate in the world, but the very few that i love really matter to me. im not against it, when i get pushed over the edge i think of it. but it a lot better than i was four years ago, thankfully.

This point has been made before. I think that it's pathetic when people parade their self-harm scars as if it's something to be proud of. When someone does that, it shows that they aren't a genuine cutter. People who genuinely cut prefer to hide their wounds at all costs, and cut where people won't see. I've been through this before and was forced to stop when people began noticing my scars. Most of them still haven't completely healed even though I've tried everything to make them go away. For genuine cutters, the mental scars are worse than the physical ones.

people say there's loadsa help out there, but there isn't. you go to this place and someone sits down and acts all patient, wen realli you know they're just judging you, and it sucks, i h8 all those people that say they understand, you onli understand if you've gone thry summit similar...and those people that jst moan about they're life because their pet rock has died or summit (yes, ok, exaggeration i know) and then say they're sereverly depressed because of it, and bullshit about they're life...it does my head in...

I disagree. You live your life for YOURSELF, not for the others. I think it's selfish to think that suicide is selfish. Like that you want someone to stay here though he doesn't want to and is feeling miserable and useless. But you want him to stay here, though he obviously doesn't want to stay here with you. I think it's just the 'shame' of suicide that keeps those people wanting him to stay.Because if they were there to really help him,he maybe wouldn't feel so bad. That they don't give a shit about the person who's going to commit suicide, they just can't stand the scandal after it.

You have a point, and I guess this case has two sides. Like I said, I've never been in a situation like that, so I don't know. But if you "live your life just for yourself" you ARE selfish.
