Active - no

I dont wish for my family to have extra grieve but if i can get a good excuse .... any day is as good as the next day to die aint it?

sorry to be a killjoy [unintentional pun], but- if you don't let them treat cancer and it spreads to something like your brain or eyes or something which would leave you maimed and in much unpleasantness, then where would you be? cancer is a crappy way to go out, with protracted pain. same for getting hit by a car, it could just maim you for the rest of your life instead of killing you outright. when i was younger i was "accident-prone" and stumbled into many situations that should've killed me but for some reason unknown to me then, did not. luckily i never even got maimed by these "accidents" which were subconscious attempts by a part of me to off myself. but i've also seen the results [working in a hospital for decades] of people who tried most sincerely to end their lives but instead maimed themselves something awful, and they were in far worse a situation than they were in before- the lucky ones were vegetables who were unconscious of their awful new "jumping from the frying pan into the fire" situations. the unlucky ones [much more common] knew what they used to be and were in a situation where they no longer had any autonomy over their own bodies, and were basically "locked in" or stuck in their present living death situation. just think how awful that would be. i'm not saying don't commit suicide [only you can make that decision for yourself] but i am saying think it over as carefully as the most important life decision you will ever make. when it is your time, only then will you be allowed to go.

I go through periods of feeling empty and very depressed, and during these periods I always feel like committing suicide. This used to be a fairly rare thing, but it's been happening more and more often recently. I think the rest of the time I'm just hiding how depressed I feel, so it has to all come out some time.

However, something happened recently which made me feel a lot better about myself, and I'll think of it whenever I feel bad in the future in the hope that it'll make me feel better in the future too.

I'm never going to do the deed but wish everyday for a premature natural death. Have no interest in my life or life at all. Was just a mistake. Really wish my parents never met.

I have recently had episodes in the past 2 months where I go into a suicidal mode....the first time, came 24 hours after drinking a Coke Zero....the second time it was 24 hours after chewing a few pieces of Orbit gum....Came out with my own diagnosis....the culprit?...Splenda.

Suicidal thoughts have been off again/on again throughout my whole life dating back to when I was 11.

I just never realized what an adverse effect this ingredient could have on me and my depression. And it's EVERYWHERE. In virtually every gum you can imagine.

In words, what does Splenda make me feel like? Picture Dr. David Banner receiving more gamma radiation. In addition to the massive depression, the psychotic temper lingering inside just scared me. Sad

Nope my life is my own and when i wanna quit i can quit. There are no valid reasons why i should wait to be allowed to go. And if something goes wrong and it looks like rest off life is a crappy way out. Well i luckily live in a country where euthanesia of the suffering is quite normal Smile

So no probs there Smile

Simply waiting for the right time to go. Living like this is too lonely and emotionally painful.

Feeling the same way as you. Loneliness is a perfect reason to kill myself, a better one than if I were starving!

I'll sign up to this little gang. Waiting for both Dad & Nan to go before swiftly following through the exact same ideation I've dreamt of since I was about 12.

I guess if/when everyone stops caring I am likely to kill myself unless I die of an accidental overdose or something......but for whatever reason there's people who want me here even though all I do is bring other people down with my constant anxiety, depression and sometimes there is paranoia involved. Just don't know how long I can put up with always ruining things because of my mind....and even if I isolate myself I still think about it, and it still makes me feel worse about myself making me give even less of a crap about my own well-being.

I wonder if considering suicide as an option is ever anything that goes away, I'm guessing not.

to @lDub @j-greens @sweetleaf

i was having a very bad week last week n thinking about it so much, hence my posting.
but certainly still feel the "common" thing here with u guys.

am trying to put it aside though - but yea, like@sweetleaf ppl still "want"/need me here,
and "getting rid" of oneself isnt exactly an easy choice plus act to pull off, as easy as it may sound.

Hope ur doing well at the moment. take care. hope to hear frm u soon

I don't believe there is the same chemical kind of depression that makes NT's depressed. I mean, we can have those chemical inbalances to but I think the depression is different...more to do with frustrations of trying to function in an environment that isn't designed for us and lonliness.

I think it does help to know that there is a reason....aspergers, and that thrre are others who are different in some of the same ways you are different. I was suicidal from 16-26 and still think of it as a possible solution to the life long delima of being on planet earth. What I changed was not exposing myself to negative things as much as posible. I was a big punk rock fan and used to read a lot more environmental and social issues books. I wish I could be more pro-active in solving the worlds "problems" but realized I had to except this limitation....the more I read about politics and environmental damage, the more I feel like humans are a lost cause,cruel,stuipid,lacking compassion and always will be. That makes me not want to be on this planet and death is the only way I have ever thought I could leave (ship never came,lol). So I have to limit my exposure to such things as they act as a poisen to me.



I was very similar with politics. people are a mix of good and bad traits generally, though.

I don't want to live at all right now. If only i could find a painless method, or an effective method to kill myself.

I have no money, so that cancels a lot of options out. I don't even live anywhere near big drops or high cliffs etc. Its just torture. I can't even make a damn noose properly. I promised myself i'd be dead by the end of April, and there's only 2 days left.
I'm not here for Nt type attention whoring, i really want to leave this world. I hate it, i hate everything. I wish i lived in the US were there is easy access to guns. I would travel to the set of cliffs about 30 miles from where i live, but i have no money, and neither do my parents.

I keep feeling like i shouldn't be here. All the painless ways to kill yourself seem to have some money barrier on them. The only pills that are around are aspirin, and i heard that they just melt your liver and you die painfully and slowly. I get so envious when i hear about a suicide, i wish i was that person.

you are still young, how do you know it won't get better when you're a legal adult on your own? i only hope that you wait a while longer, wait until you can be away from people and situations that are getting you down.
