If you talk to people who have done a serious suicide-attempt and "failed", most of them -after treatment- are very greatful still to be alive!

You aren't unselfish - just human.

I think I've got to be the exception to your rule, dear.

I killed myself in 2009, was revived by a very competent ER doc.

I was angry at being brought back then, and angry about it now.

Things haven't changed...only difference is I have tools to cope with it.

There's no half stepping to suicide- you either do it or you don't. I have a couple of friends in wheelchairs with neurological impairments, and both were unsuccessful suicide attempts. I don't know about happy to be alive. I think the difference is that they don't know any thing better than life now. Went from totally normal people to limping, wheelchair bound, slurring handicapped people. It really blew my mind. When you have all you need, you always want more. Sometimes your perspective changes, and you see that you have all you need.

Well hello down there.

Seriously?
This is just like in the Dead Kennedys' song Soup is Good Food.

We're sorry, we hate to interrupt
But it's against the law to jump off this bridge
You'll just have to kill yourself somewhere else
A tourist might see you and we wouldn't want that

This method of suicide really peeves me. I dont understand why they cant just sit at home and take pills, slit writst, hang their selves or just take meds and roll into a coma. Bringing other people into your own suicide attempt is extremely disgraceful in my opinion.

I don't know where you live, but, it used to piss me off in the US, when people would commit suicide by train always during rush hour and no one would tell you what was going on.

On the other hand, I guess when you feel it's time, it's time and the suicidal person is way past thinking of others.

I realize suicidal people need help, but, I think it is the coward's way out. Life is much harder and everything is not always happy.

I'm sorry to hear that, Brainplague! I'm glad you're here. You've helped me with my posts and I enjoy yours.

My oldest brother drank himself to death. It's a very helpless feeling when someone is suicidal. We don't know how to help. I used to think suicidal people should be left to die, if that is their wishes. It's a very hard thing for the living to deal with. I miss him.

Dealing with suicides and the suicidal is, to me anyway, one of the hardest things to deal with.

I'm sorry about your brother. I can't even begin to imagine the pain you and your family experienced. Knowing that there is help, and he wouldn't take it.

Respectfully I disagree Black Night .When someone eats a bunch of asperin, or scratches their wrist for attention, I just want to slap them . But putting your body in front of a train is for real in too much pain to live. With girls I learned, the number one reason for pain, is unbearable shame. And the number one reason for unbearable shame is childhood sexual abuse. I understand how putting people in jeopardy isnt cool. But I bet you would have gone down and got her , if you saw her in real life . I think I would have to, or at least I hope I would.
