Why would people want to die?

Well Harry some people get into a really bad depression things happen and they have no other way to think of getting rid of the pain the cause of death for most teens is suicide i have personally thought of doing it a few times cause i have depression and i cant think of another way to solve the pain which i also think that is not the way to solve it ether.

No, I know that. I am just asking, why? Why would they have to do it....I know because of depression of pain and things. But why can't they try working it out? Thinking of it and see whats wrong? Correct their mistake? I mean...problems just won't go away if you die, they will still be there, mostly troubling someone else.

Cause during there depression they cant think of many options to do and that is just the first one that comes in mind and you cant really think of much else

Why can't they stop thinking the negative way and think positively? Thats why I always laugh...laughing always helps. You mind is always clean. Your not worrying much and even if you did, its not important. Concentrating for at least 5 minutes a day is a start!

It is not easy for them! its not easy for people with depression to think positivly when so much bad has happened to them to make them go into depression, they cant always think positive thoughts so they come to that decision......

Yeah! I think I get it...it's just like when I quit my job and then got it back. I quit because I was depressed and couldn't hink much. I get what you mean...

Suicide and deppression runs throught both sides of my family. And after having suicidal thoughts just over four years ago and various accounts of depression allready I'm in for a ruth ride.

Really? But I guess I have changed my mind about it, now. Suicide is because of depression, and what causes it, problems, what kind of problems? Family..friends, relationships..etc etc.

I'm currently in a partial group therapy for attempted suicide. I regret trying to kill myself, it's not worth it. The feeling of actually dying (seeing as I was dying if I didn't go to the hospital, which I did) is the most scariest things I've ever felt. And the way I did it was the most painful things I've ever felt.

Wow.... :o I never knew you did that. But I guess, if your half dead weverything would seem dangerous and scary, right?

You may feel like you want to die but when it comes down to diying even if its not your doing you often end up fighting to live and it changes what you think about suicide.

I see...so once you try it...you think better of it, when you actually survive?

Yes. You end up not wanting to die. In the end, no one wants to die. 95% of the time that is.

But don't chaneg their mind sometimes right? Still intent on dieing.

yeah
suicide is a really hard topic for me because my good friend anna killed herself on april 13th 2005 even though its been over two years now it is so hard to deal with....

Oh! I'm sorry about that... :unsure: But I think, sometimes...people decide too fast!

she had been depressed for a while, but no one saw it coming.. its sad that she decided to take her life so early.. she was only 16, and she was such an amazing person

i just wish more than anything i could have seen it was coming and tried to stop it...

But, people don't really tell anyone before dieing, do they?

not usually but you can tell signs if someone was really depressed

Of course. They way they act. The behaviour. Their concentration...right?

Like i was saying earlier people who are in a deep depression usually go toward the thought of suicide some people actually do it, and no harry people who are going to kill them self Usually do not tell they leave a suicide note or nothing at all they just do it.

I Am really just starting to ease up on my depression its slowly going away but i do still have thoughts of Suicide but i know im strong enough to know not to do it, but most people arnt so it happens they kill there self cause thats the only way they think that they can ease the pain

Its like a short cut for them, they wanna do it to ease there pain and there thinking doesnt really work properly they dont think 'Should i really do this? will i be missed when im gone' instead they think 'No one will miss me the pain is to great for me to handle and this is the only Solution' and they do think its the only way to resolve the depression not many people who are depressed can handle it unless they where seeing a counciler or something.

But i have managed to deal with it on my own for like 5 months my parents dont even know im depressed they dont know ive thought of suicide nothing and im coming along with every thing fine and im almost completely out of depression which is really hard to do on your own i think.

that really is hard to do on your own. I went through a week and a half of lock-in crisis center group therapies, and i'm going through another outpatient group therapy and its helping quite well. I haven't been depressed in a long time.

Must be annoying.

Yea last time thsi topic was here someone said about the impact it will have on other people. And yea it may end your suffering but it will add to that of others.

But wouldn't you feel that you were helping the people around you if you committed suicide, may be they thought they were better off without them instead of dragging him down with you!

Ok guys...I heard something really creepy. One of my friends said, that one of his friends died. It was girl.

She had a boyfriend and when she was walking, her boyfriend honked, to get her into his car. They went to a lake. The girl could have sworn he was going to propose. But instead the guy pushed her into the lake. And had said, he was dumping her. The girl wet and cold, walked back to house and went into the bathroom. She had cried for a long time and her mother was yelling her to get out of there. She couldn't take it and splattering blood all over the bathroom, died, cutting her veins.
Her mother couldn't take it at all...she had a heart attack and died. The girls father...all alone, went mad, and died himself. Suicide.

One whole family gone, just because of the guy dumped a girl.

Some people would say that was because they were weak. But I think that a load of rubbish. Everyone is different. Some can cope with more than others. Some one could have one simple thing go wrong and commit suicide but others could have gone through hel and back but still carry on. It annoys me when people call it the weak way out.

Well..yeah thats true. People take it in different ways. Some take it as nothing, others take it as if their life is ruined. It just all comes to how you think of it. So basically, your an enemy of yourself.

That makes perfect sense, Lost Prophet.

suicide is a big issue in my life, i've tried it a few times never succded but i have friends who have succeded and it hurts alot more people than you think it will and alot harder to those that you know it'll affect. my friends and i take turns watching some one if there thinking about suicide so they want do it and we watch them for months on end 24/7

i know double posting but o well....right now i got a PM on this site from some one i thought was my friend and he called me an idotic moron and said well just a bunch of things that i tried not to take to heart but it became to the point that i couldn't take it anymore. it hurt me deep inside because none of what he accused me of is true. recently my boyfriend dumbed me and well i'm torn up about that and now i just feel like the hole world is against me. since my computer died i can't get on as much as i was but i'm on my schools computer during the week and school hours. i'm hoping to have it work soon but can't promise so i really need you to be my friends right now cause it seems like everything is going wrong and nothing is going right. if you pray keep me in your prayers if not then just keep me in your thoughts thanks.

Who ever this dude is what ever he said, dont worry about it, it is not worth your time and what you want to do...recently i have thought of suicide alot especially tonight i told the girl i loved for 7 years that i loved her and she didnt tell me her feelings well ive been thinking heavy on killing myself havent done it yet, thats only cause i know not to take what people say to heavy...as long as i do that i wont kill myself...

My friend was taking about taking her life but I managed to pursuade her other wise, I hope. But her mum commited suicide and its realy hard on her yet she aways seems to others that she has got over it but sometimes I wonder if she realy has.
And you two when I used to thnk of suicide I used to always think about people who I know are worse of than me and it sort of makes me decide against it but also makes me fee pathetic.

man i would be trying if those things happened to me. i guess i've been hurt so much that i'm afraid to get to close to anyone because when i do i get hurt. i finally let that go and got close as a friend to some one then they moved....i don't like to get to close to people but it seems the more i try not to the more closer i get to people. i feel like a push over alot because i let my emotions get the best of me and i let people hurt me. this church i was giong to i was allways depressed when i left because people where talking about drugs and talking about people and i felt like nothing was going right and everything was wrong. i still feel like i'm the biggest screw up of my life.

She deffinetly has not had a good life. Theres about a million things that went wrong and she has sort of become someone that I cna look up to because she has always stayed strong.
