I used to think about it all the time. Probably when I didnt care whether I lived or died.. when I was in the midst of my drug addiction. When I got clean and was immersed in my depression fully for the first time.. I was seeing an addiction counselor. I asked him one day, doesn't everyone think about killing themselves at least once in awhile? He looked at me dead in the eye and said, no, Darmae, they don't. I was totally stunned. I really thought it was something everyone thought about. I didn't realize it was part of this sickness. Part of this disease called depression. And that's what I consider wanting to commit suicide as.. a symptom. It's a symptom of depression. And all symptoms can be alleviated by treatment. If you're on the right meds, doing all the right things, you shouldn't have these thoughts. I don't have them anymore. Do. I still get bad days? Sure, I do. I just don't want to kill myself anymore. Like TruthBeauty said, God, the Universe, Mother Nature, whomever, will come to call soon enough. Life is short enough as it is. I wasted half of it. I'm trying not to waste the second half.

Yes, Forget suicide...keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?

From Cast Away Movie

No, but I used to when my depression was untreated. And tried it. I'm glad I survived and living my life. I think you have suicidal ideation. There's help for it. Be well.

I have thought about suicide, was even hospitalized once because I came so close. In my faith I believe in reincarnation and often think “I’ve totally screwed this life up, time for the next one”. But through practicing my spirituality I realized that I am exactly where I should be on my path. It may be rough right now but there is something here I need to learn from.
Besides, I have 5 cats, a bunny, my ex husband (long story) and my 19 yo daughter counting on me to be here for them.
Just hang in there and remember that there are people here for you.
