Suicide

---

Hey all,I just found this forum today and I particularly got interested in this Depression Forum, since I'm depressed 99% of the time...I've been reading a few threads of people who have failed to committ suicide...Now I have one question: Why do people try to committ suicide with medicines when it's so unsure of how much to use and if it will work ? Why not just jump from a tall building or get hit by a train or drown or whatever...(Btw, if such topics aren't allowed to be discussed in this forum I apologize and please delete this.)Just wanted to hear your comments...

You know.. I don't have a clue.. If you looked into the threads.. I have even once or twice tryed it with pills... Reason I did it.. is because after they were down.. they were down... and slitting my wrist.. is a little harder.. But one main reason is the fact it was easy to get.. They were just right there... Hope this helps a little

Hey FaBMX,Thx for the quick reply. It's true, the pills or whatever is just right there. But my point being that if someone is serious about killing themselves, why take the risk of perhaps surviving and using pills ? Why not take something where it's guaranteed you won't get through it alive because your body is splattered against cement or limbs torn off by a train ? Wouldn't those be the guaranteed methods ?

cuz the mind don't think stright when your upset and sucidle. And well like me, i didn't know any better. i though slitting your wrist would cut the vain and BOOM ur dead. but now i know different.

Theres the fear factor there as well - I personally cant stand heights and could never throw myself in front of a train, so I couldn't do either of those things. Swallowing a handful of pills or slitting my wrists is a different matter though, its the 'easier' option I suppose...

heyit doesnt take as much bottle with taking pills as it does with other stuff. I have tried on a few occasions and i know i found it easier to do than even the thought of jumping off a building or hanging. and also, most houses have the pills so it quicker than having to prepare the rope or something. I might be wrong for others but that what i have found

HEY!! dead inside, ok maybe i shoudl have PMed u instead of messingup this topic. lol oh well back on topic, as they say.

i think what your asking is a nicer way of asking are they really tring to try committ suicide? If i'm wrong, i'm sorry but that's what i see when i read it.
i don't know about anyone else. All i know is what i was feeling and what was going on in my head at the time i did. i think maybe it's half in half i guess. or maybe like me some that try just don't know (like i said in my ^ above post.)
oh well i'm done with this topic..... i have been feeling better and i don't want anything to kill it. :sunglasses: hahaha my littel CR is feeling good plug (for those that care...hahahaha) :grin:

ok, this may be a dim question with an obvious answer, but how you messed it up?? hmmmmmmmmm

and you can always pm me hun, dont know when i will get it it coz of what is going on at home, but i will get it.

I tried with tablets cos I didn't want to be left with scars on my wrists if I failed with that, and one of my colleagues brothers tried jumping off a building - he's now a vegetable and I thought that would be worse than the way I was.Also did some reaserch into tablets and found that paracetamol wouldn't kill straight away so used others. Failed obviously, but still down from time to time!

I figure get the best (or the worst, if thats how you look at it) of both worlds, take the pills, lie in bed, slash your wrists.By the time they find you in the morning it'll be too late....Thats my idea anyway...

@CR125:Perhaps you are right, maybe I am asking something like that.. didn't think of that but that would make sense the way I asked it. And to all the people said that they said pills was the easiest: If you are seriously thinking about doing suicide then you shouldn't just go for the option that's closest to you and easiest to get... suicide is not an easy thing so you can't go for the easiest option. Research is involved - finding out which method has the most success rates and which don't. If you really want to do medicines find out how much and how to take it. Just gives you something to think about - are you really serious about suicide ?

I think it has to do with fear and pain factors. I imagine it would hurt to jump off a building and extremely scary just looking down from there. It hurts to slit your wrists.

Taking pills is thought to be painless and less scary as well.

You see... trying to slit your wrists or shoot yourself for that matter always brings the same thought, "Is this worth what I'm trying to do?" and also, "Will this COMPLETELY do the job?" And believe it or not, you would have to have a lot of courage in order to just throw yourself off of a building or step in front of a train. Believe it or not, people have lived through something like that. The pills are just really simple. You can just throw them back and forget about it, if they work, then mission accomplished, but if it doesn't, you typically just throw it up. No big deal.

Yah, I know that people have survived jumps and all that shit, I've been keeping up on that for the last few months to see which way I will try when the time comes.But anyway, thanks you all for your opinions, was just wondering.

I can say this much.Most individuals who slit their wrists survive, because they do it in an incorrect fashion. A little bit of high school biology will tell you how to get it done right.When blood is exposed to air, it clots, preventing more blood loss, this is what happens when one usually slits his / her wrists, but if wrists are cut, and submerged within warm water, clotting can not take place. So even if you don't cut deep enough, or hit a good vein, blood loss will still take place and death will occurr as a result.Also, virtical cuts will bleed much more than horizontal cuts. Its actually very easy to find veins in the left arm at least, the pathways closest to the heart.I think individuals usually go for pills because it takes less work, and dealing with less anxiety and fear during the death process. You gobble pills, you pass out and die if you've eaten enough, maybe a little sick stomach or so.You cut your wrist or jump off of a building, for a few minutes (or seconds in the latter case) you have to deal with the fact, consciously, that you're dying. I dunno how much this helped.

It's hard to get on the roof of a tall building. I just tried the two tallest in my town (20 and 30 stories) and couldn't figure out a way up.

well...actually...For those of you who say slitting your wrists is 'painful' or 'hard', just do what I plan on doing! Go to your friendly neighborhood drug dealer (what do you care if you get screwed with, you're gonna die anyway) and buy a pretty large dose of your favorite painkiller (vicadin, codein, etc.). Next, go fill the bathtub with nice warm water, get a very sharp knife, and cut your wrists. Not a nice little slit, I mean go an inch or two down. If it hurts, take more painkillers! The water will stop the blood from clotting, and you'll be so spaced out you won't care (or likely realize) that you are dying.If theres someone that you really hate, and you have some method of entering their house (try not to break anything, it might ruin the surprise), you can go into their house and use their tub while they're on a trip, and when they get back, SURPRISE!just my 2 cents...

seriously people, y the long faces. nothing can ever b that bad! i think you people need to address your issues and find out the source of ur unhappiness. 99% of the time its just yourselfs telling yourselves ur unhappy and find excuses for it. it just looks like to me that u all think that committing suicide is just the "in" thing to do these days. i mean if kurt cobain did it, why cnt u... but u couldnt b more wrong. life is a beautiful thing and most of you should be grateful 4 that. i mean god gave u eyes, ears, mouth, nose, hands, legs, beauty but ur still not happy. millions of deformed people are born in to this unjust world, where they get bullied and hated for what they look like but they dont care they live life to the full. i think u guyz should follow in their footstepz "GET OFF UR SORRY ASSES AND LOOK FOR A RELIGION.. SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN" that way life is eaiser to accept. may allah bless you all kkxx
