Suicide / Death that hits close to home ?

i tried to kill myself with a big bottle of vitamin a(had to have been at least 3 million IU's), about a half bottle of vicodin and a full bottle of prescription sleeping pills (30 ambien)

i was hoping to go to sleep and never wake up... WRONG! i woke up feeling fresh as fuck. didn't even get sick.
but i did fuck up my liver pretty bad so now i can't get wasted.

this was about 4-5 years ago

one of my best friends id known for 13 years since i was in school hung himself recently because of his girlfriend. he was the happiest person in the world all the time when we hung out he never showed signs of depression or wanting to commit suicide. i spent so many summers with him that it sucks for him to be gone and on that note over a girl. i know you can love a girl alot but no girl is worth killing yourself over no matter what.there isnt one day i dont think back on all the fun we had.

Well suicide sucks.

the worst is when they actully endanger others

in my area one guy ran off a bridge into traffic, killing like two innocent people, thats the dumbest shit ever, if your going feeling like shit and you wana kill yourself, dont take it out on others.

2 guys from college died last night. apparently something went down at this bar and they were gunned down. they found 30 casings at the scene.

there were over 300 people at that pub that night but somehow there are no witnesses.

the bodies just keep piling up... it's crazy....

6 hours ago my sister in law's boyfriend/baby's daddy killed himself after she told him she couldn't be with him any more. No she didn't cheat on him or anything crazy like that, they just didn't get along and she didn't want to be with him any more. She said he could see the kid whenever he wanted...but he apparently wanted a relationship with her still. Damn it seems like it was just 5 o clock and my wife and I were at her parent's house and we saw her sister and him and he was holding his 8 month old son, laughing and playing and talking to us and shaking my hand. Then we left and an hour later they called saying he drove his 08 Tacoma into a tree @ very high speeds near the local cemetery. The tree and surrounding area are completely scorched and the entire road is littered with broken glass and other debris. He was a perfectly average 22 year old with an average life...he didn't exactly seem ecstatic about having to put his life on hold to raise a kid with his 19 year old girlfriend but I never would've in a million years guess that he'd do this. I guess we'll never know... I'm a bit mad at him for leaving behind a perfect little 8 month old son, but who am I to judge? No one knows what sadness or pain he had inside his heart and we may never know for sure. I just hope that people understand that its no one else's fault but his own. My heart is breaking for his mother and family and for his young 8 month son that he left behind. Damn suicide is a very crazy thing.

Damn just like Yoko she took your boy away from you.
Sorry had to make a joke (even if it was crappy) to combat the sadness of this thread.

Recently a forum acquantance mentioned a friend had committed suicide & I began to think. . .
I lost a very close friend years ago, he ate a bullet during a nasty divorce & I never really understood why. I understand all the psyco-babble, but the actual "Ok, I'm ready to check out now that I'm reasonably young and healthy" just escapes me. His death affected dozens of people not the least of his children & his folks. It seems to be a very selfish act & I can't fathom how one wouldn't think of others before doing it.

It's very hard to lose someone, trust me. I have been through a lot in the past 3 years. I lost a baby (stillborn) and five months later my cousin ODed on morphine. It's the worst feeling in the world. When I drive past his grave my chest gets tight and I can't breath. I know I'll never see him again. It's funny how the world keeps moving as though he never existed.

When I get hit with depression I get suicidal. I don't want to die, when I'm in any other frame of mind because I've worked too hard to get my life some place else. When you're in that state though you're utterly convinced that it's the best thing to do - you're not thinking straight, at all. The consequences though suck my grandmother committed suicide. I'm lucky I haven't lost any one else by it.

about 10 years ago me and my sister found my friend hanging we lifted him up a bit to loosen the rope and got him out if we got there 20 seconds later he would be dead. another one of my friends hung himself 6 weeks ago, fighting with his girlfriend over the baby walked out said goodbye and did it around the corner, now his child wont know her da.
suicide sucks RIP FRANK

I know that way more people think about it than you know, the loud ones who say they are gonna do it usually don't. It's the quiet ones who will just dissappear.

The worst feeling in the world is being trapped and helpless with no way out, being stuck in poverty living check to check at a terrible job with a tyrannical boss and family that mostly didn't care for me nearly drove me to it. I used to constantly think about walking out my office front door into oncoming traffic but didn't think it would be fair to the driver. At one point in time after my best friend got shot to death I found myself completely alone and waiting for a train to come. The only thing that stopped me was the thought of my mom and that she may follow.

I still keep a handgun buried in the event I ever need to do something. I don't have suicidal thoughts anymore I have things I need to build and a purpose. But in the event that things got bad i would feel trapped if i couldn't end it at any time. We shouldn't be afraid to die.
