Random Poll of the Day! (583)

[Hanie]

No for me. 

The results are a little nerve-wracking... o__o

I guess it could be seen that way, but there's also the fact that the question is "Did you ever think about it", which many people have. What would be more worrying would be a lot of "Yes"s to the question "Have you ever tried to kill yourself?" That would scare me D:

^This.

Not personally, but I can understand those that have. I hope all those that have voted "yes" have reconsidered, but if not, just remember: Your life is a beautiful gift, and you only get it once.

If there is anyone reading this that does need someone to talk to, I can be reached by any of the usual means (here in PM or in PM on IRC are fastest) if you ever need anyone to speak with. It may seem like a solitary problem, but it isn't one you have to go through alone. I'm sure there are a great many other people here too who would be more than happy to speak with you about anything you may be going through, so never be afraid to look for someone else for comfort in times of trouble. If you prefer something more anonymous, there are a plethora of dedicated, professional, and understanding people that work with outreach programs related to this subject, and many of them are free and of no cost whatsoever. You can find ones local to you that you can speak with over the phone if necessary where you won't even have to give your name with a quick Google search, and can find many such online options as well.

Never give up--there are people who would miss you, and if you're reading this, chances are I am one of them.

[Commi-Ninja]

I agree with everything Jd- said on the matter.

basically this. Answer for me is also yes.

I agree with everything Jd- said. It's something that needs to be said to people more often- it took me a hell of a long time to believe it myself.

[Hime-Chan]

I never thought about it. I want to annoy a lot of people in my life, so no, an untimely death wouldn't do for me.

[Memesu]

Yes, couple years ago.

[Borealis]

Actually no, but  ive been so depressed that i wrote a message in one of the coldest days (emotionally) titled "will it be better" with clues regarding what happened that day so only i can understand it.

this was done because i was so depressed that i thought what will future me think so i wrote that message hoping to remember.

It been a year since ive struggled with the problem, unfortunetly its getting worse as currently i lost almost all of my friends.  

*gives Conan324 a hug*
don't worry, it has only been a year. Do you even know how fast that goes by?
I don't know what your problem is but if there is anything that can be done, I am sure that many people here will help you. Even if the only thing we can do is giving moral support. Your friends in RL might have left, but you still have this forum and all the people here.
And even if you can't call anyone here a "real friend" or don't want to talk about your problems, you can still see us as a social community you are part of. It might seem as not much compared to your problems, but believe me, being part of a functioning community can be an important anchor when facing problems.  It has helped me trough a hard time (for me) and I am sure that it can on some level help you or anyone else.

[Aokochan]

No. And I totally agree with Jd-.

[newjo]

No. I'm too afraid to entertain the idea of killing oneself.

[aly_angelflight]

Actually, when I'm depressed, I tend towards reclusive thoughts instead. ^^;

[Conia]

Not personally, but I can understand those that have.

^ This for the poll

Never give up--there are people who would miss you, and if you're reading this, chances are I am one of them.

^ this in agreement to Jd-, as I would also be one of them.

[Kleene Onigiri]

Yes. D:


I got a message from one of my friend once, indicating that he wants to suicide. I cried my eyes out that day and spammed him with messages (he lives farther away, so I couldn't just visit him).
Luckily, he didn't do anything \o/

[Callid]

Yes, but that was long ago, and it was literally only "think", not even "consider"

[Yurikochan]

Even though I said no, the thought still crossed my mind when I was really little. But like IU and Aly said I wouldn't mind disappearing then someday returning, or even becoming a recluse.

And I've talked people I never met out of commiting suicide online.

Suicide is not the best way to go. It hurts everyone and in the end you are the selfish person leaving behind everyone/both friends and family and even the better parts in life.

[Conia]

Suicide is THE WORST way to go. It hurts everyone and in the end you are the selfish person leaving behind everyone/both friends and family and even the better parts in life.

Fixed a little

[alicetama]

Yes, I have, sometimes.
