Suicide

[DarkDesertFox]

To anyone who sees someone saying they want to commit suicide, even if it's for attention, seriously just don't encourage them. I've heard way too many stories where it only takes one person to give them that little nudge for them to do it and it's honestly sad to hear. Many people who have attempted suicide and failed feel deep regret for their choice. They feel like their times in darkness will never end and we need to be their light.

I've never lost anyone, but I've thought of committing suicide a lot of times. Reading posts like this remind me why I need to keep living. Sorry for your loss OP, but thank you for sharing and raising awareness.

My husband lost his dad to suicide in his young teens and we both suffer severely from depression ourselves.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I haven't strictly experienced it but I feel that tremendous fear of losing my husband (among others) to it very frequently. When he's upset (often comes out as anger with him) he almost can't control himself and says a lot of scary things.

I don't wish to enter into debates and the like, I'm just going to say, remember that the human mind and life itself is extremely complex. Really nobody can have the answer when it comes to this. Life and human beings are a vast ocean where the slightest ripple causes a whole web of effects.

I have never lost anyone to suicide.
I have had a friend that used suicide threats essentially as a manipulation tactic multiple times to myself and an ex of his.
The first times were really scary and I've gone so far as to contact people I didn't know to look out for him because I knew him online. Eventually I got the drift of the whole thing because he would do it if we ever got into a silly argument and if I was about to block him or something to keep me from leaving. It's given me severe anxiety so many times and the fact that I had to be in the position of him wanting me to talk him out of it basically, when there's nothing I can actually do since I only know him online. Needless to say I ended up blocking him, a petty argument isn't worth having to deal with the extremely sensitive topic of attempting suicide. I'm not a professional and I don't know how to deal with it.

I've been on the receiving end of this as well. Everyone's different of course, but I think as a general rule most people say it more as a way of either releasing pent up emotions or (unfortunately) manipulating around an argument. I've gotten to realise my husband says it more often than not as a way to just get those bad emotions out in the air. He'll later tell me, he wasn't really considering it. There's a world of difference between idly thinking about it and actually considering it, wondering where you'll go etc.

Mostly manipulation imo. Would probably be quite worse if someone were right there with you attempting to do something like that. Online it's difficult because I simply don't know if it's serious or not, I can't do anything from far away besides contact friends in their area. i think it's very messed up to bring it up though because if it's some off-topic argument like, in my case he was being extremely smothering and even rude, and when I finally wanted out and tried blocking from everything he pulled this on me again so I wouldn't leave. jesus I don't know if this is considered abusive or a sign of them having bpd but it really messed with me.

Mm the only person I know would have been me - unless i have some family members that may have committed suicide on my dad's side of the family (i've never really met them). Sorry for your loss though - death always feels kind of unreal...even though its a hard reality - strange.

I'm sorry
Personally, no, I don't know anyone that's committed suicide. But about 5-ish years ago, a girl in the grade above my brother committed suicide. Kind of caused a commotion at his school.
I also have a couple friends that have attempted suicide, thank goodness they failed and are on the road to recovery now. Dunno what I would do without them.
