Suicide stories

[The Lone Rider]

I'm just interested if anyone knows someone who committed suicide. What did they do to kill themselves? Were there signs that they were unhappy or was it something that just happened and the sudden shock was just too much? Did they leave a note?

I must question your motives??

If your looking to do something yourself then you should know 99% of methods hurt more than you can imagine.



Christ I hope your not looking for 'suggestions' ?

I ride a motorcycle, I dont think I need help killing myself eh (or getting killed.. watch out.. CARAVAN!)

[Disco Dan]

Seen plenty. Heard even more.

Certainly dont want to see another....

cuts pretty deep with me. but with the pain set aside i can tell you of one.
My spaced out mate got enlightenment, told me to quit drugs, ended life. I have touched anything since - if not for myself, then for respect to him.
Ok best i go elsewhere now, will have to unsubscribe to this thread too

Huh?

Are you confusing suicide with entertainment?
Some people here have had to clean up the mess of attempted and/or successful suicide, and had to live with the loss of a loved one (myself included).
Step carefully.

Not sure if this is a topic people will want to be involved in, many here deal with this on a regular basis, If your request is geniune, you are welcome to pm me and discuss this further.

not really a topic people like to talk about, and why are you wanting it bought up? Do you have a friend that has told you something that has made you think...

Suicide is not a pretty subject. It cuts damn deep with some (myself included) but it needs to be spoken of.

Taking a deep breath I'll tell you how I felt (some time ago) when I attempted to take my life. Not so much about the how but more the why.

I'd spent my life under the control of a very disciplinarian man. I still don't consider the hidings to be abuse but by modern standards he would be in jail - for a lengthy period. I used to say that I was a difficult child but I've found that I was a product of my environment. I finally (at age 16) left home and started living my own life. But I failed. I had job after job, couldn't keep a relationship, incurred massive debt, without mentioning drink and drugs. I had no control at all. So at about 17/18 I joined the Army. It was great sorted my life out and all was absolutely 'fantastic'. And I was never so lonely in my life. I didn't really have anything sorted at all. All I really wanted was my family. I couldn't tell them though coz everything was going well. Nobody to care for, nobody cared for me (in my mind) so what fucking difference would it make to the world if I wasn't here?

I had a bottle of Valium and half a bottle of Gin. I thought I'd just drift off and that'd be it. I woke up in hospital. A tube down my throat and my wrists in restraint. One of the lads had seen me wandering off with the Gin and came looking for me...

The prologue? Counselling, family, mates, all came and helped me. The guys from the barracks used to come and just sit in my room. I bounced back, that was a long time ago, but the memory is still crystal clear. But as I said, that was a long time ago.

My greatest fear is that my children ever consider suicide to be an option. I talk to them and encourage them to be open and honest with me. I try not to judge their comments or questions and show them I love them.

If you are serious and there is issues in your life or in the life of someone you know SPINZ is a good start: http://www.spinz.org.nz/page.php?p=27

Other sites with helpful info and contacts are:

Ministery of Health: http://www.moh.govt.nz/moh.nsf/index...vetion-support
SOSAD: http://www.wordworx.co.nz/sosad.html

If there is someone that is in crisis that you know, don't think about it. Act now. To have someone to talk to is a good start. Isolation is the pits!

All the best.

Been to/seen plenty...

Some of the reasons for doing so were pathetic

Some were 'damaged goods' and it was only a matter of time.

When looking at the corpse on the slab all I often think of was "there's a guy in a wheelchair somewhere who would love to have a body as good as that - and you had one and wasted it"

At the end of the day it was their choice - but the family/friends live on, mentally torturing themselves thinking 'why?' and "what if" and "if only I had done xxx".

Oh, and there's no 'other side' despite what younger ones think, you kill yourself? - your DEAD, that's it. End of story, full stop.

Must spread some rep etc...

Waow Colapop you are a fine example of strength and proving that getting out of that black hole is possible.

Well done. It is nice to hear this kinda story.

Indeed.... so have I.

Not a great choice of topic in the least.

Ditto - gals and guys

Agreed - this subject is sure to bring a lot of emotions to the fore. Many many many people have been / are impacted and their lives shattered when someone decides to take their own life.

Colapop - thank you for your honesty.

I watched a doc last night about a website. Anyways its called ASH ALT.SUICIDE.HOLIDAY. Anyway a young man advertised he wanted a partner to commit suicide with. A young girl replied and flew to meet him and one week later they jumped off a cliff. People from the site were questioned and called the site a means to vent, talk and be understood and that ASH was not about promoting suicide. Anyways I personally havent been affected by a suicide however think its very selfish. I have also never contemplated it myself so I dont think I can ever comprehend how much pain is involved to come to that decision.
