so this past tuesday this girl that went to my church commited suicide. i sorta new her from mission trips and stuff we went on but really couldnt say i was friends with her. she always had a good attitude and suck...to make a long rant short she was always a positive person. so what i am saying...if ur depressed please tell ur parents or friends. please get help. winter is a tough time of the year. thats why i ski and play hockey. it gets my mind of the depressing parts of life. feel free to share any stories or comments.

Because things will always get better. Especially if your young you still have the rest of your life. Just because it sucks right now doesent mean that it always will. Plus think of how much it hurts all the people around you.

Depression is a chemical imbalance so allot of times the person doesn’t really have anything to be sad about when they kill themselves.

There are ways to get help, ending your life is never the answer.

no. her depression was like the sickness depression. she was involved so much with the church and singing groups...i cant really say that she was happy because she obviously wasnt.

at my school some kid stabbed himself in the stomach with a hunting knife because his girl broke up with him.  if he was a real man he would have put it in his chest.

suicide is such an incoherent thought. i just dont understand why anyone would call it quits. and if you are going to, jump off a building! a tall one! rob a bank! i mean anything thats fun. but that is besides the whole fact. there are people all over the world being told by doctors that they have 3 months to live. do you know how many people are diagnosed with deadly cancer ever day? ever been to a hospice center? that is one of the most miserable places in the world, and those poeple are still keepin at it. you know how much all of this hurts them and everyone around them? so why end it purposley? losing someone to a cause beyond you is one thing. now losing someone to something this unreasonable, and ths PREVENTABLE is so devastating to loved ones. life may be a bitch at times, but god has his ways, and everything happens for a reason,. life is a garden , DIG IT

suicide is one of the most selfish things you can do. imiagine facing life in prison, and you know ur life is over. those people deal with it and dont kill themselves. a girl's dad in my old school was in the child porn business and was caught and killed himself, and the whole community was shattered. and this wasnt even a popular girl, just some anonymous kid who not many kids knew

eh life is weird. all i can say is that there is never an excuse to end it voluntarily. it is too precious and valuable, and you should never sacrifice it for anything. i'm sorry to hear about that, i too have dealt with suicide in my life. it's just ridiculous.

Uhhg, jumping from a building is the worst fucking way to kill yourself for the first responders. Ive seen pictures of what different heights do and let me tell you, it is FUCKING disgusting.

People were throwing up just looking at the pictures, not censored at all, straight up shots of how your fucking internals, limbs, brains explode everywhere when you hit the pavement.

So dont kill yourself, and if your even going to think about it, OD on some pills for the rest of us.

Now I feel sick just thinking about it again. However, my perfect sentence structure and grammar lifts my mood again.

P.S. If you feel the urge to jump off a building, take off your safe search filter on google and search "jumping off building" and you WILL reconsider.

Emo kids are buying Emo records, taking the records home, listening to the records and then blowing their heads off with shotguns? Where's the problem? That's an unemployment solution right there, folks! It's called natural selection. lets put more messages in the music kill the band, then your parents, then yourselves. make sure you get your whole head in front of the shotgun. Thanks for calling, thanks for calling.

Doesn't suicide by sleeping pills cause your body to swell and bloat? I've heard pill suicide is also quite messy.

i havent posted in a while. and i was doing that whole picture positng thing because the NSG is usually just meaningless shit. but i have something legit to say on this topic.

before i say this, i just wanna say, looking back, i am an idiot. i should have known better than to want to end my life.
anyway, in eigth grade, i was pretty emo, im not gonna lie (im a sophmore now) i dont mean emo in a style or music way, i mean in a black cloud hanging over my head constantly. i was severly depressed. i tried everything to make myself feel better. i wrote (gay i know) tried to list all the good things im my life (there are many, i am truly blessed in my "financial" situation) but nothing could shake the feeling of a giant hand pushing down on me constantly.

it was not a matter of feeling sorry for myself, it wasnt something i chose, it was just...there. i just was what i was, and i was horribly depressed. being a very intro verted person, i tried to solve my problems in my own head. i couldnt do it. it seemed like everyone thought i was normal everyday emmett, but i knew i wasnt.

one day, after faking like i was totally fine to all of my friends at school, i was just fed up. i was done struggling with sadness. my only option was killing my self (or so it seemed at the time) who could i tell? my mom? no. shes overprotective and would send me to a psyche ward. my dad? no. hes a good guy, but he just wouldnt understand.

i was up in my room, by myself, and i went into my closet. the clothes hanging bar that stretches across my closet was a little taller than msyself and i figured i could just end it, here and now. i actually had a tie in my hands, ready to do it, when i stopped. i thought to myself, what the fuck am i doing? who have i become? i snapped out of the bad dream i had been living in for the last 6 months, and thought of the family i have that loves me dearly. later, i spilleed my guts to my parents about my feelings. they were accepting and sent me to a shrink the next day.

all i gotta say is this. it is very easy to slip into a state where you dont care what happens to you. you dont even realize youre about to kill yourself unitl you do it (or in my case, almost do it) if anyone on NS is depressed right now, and feel alone, talk to someone. it will save your life.
thanks for listening.

one of my friends committed suicide the day of my birthday this year. that was a thursday
i found out that evening, but didnt tell anyone till the friday night. i didnt go to school on the friday, just stayed home being all upset and that.
then on the monday in one of my classes the teacher found out it was my birthday the week before, so the whole class sang, and argh... started crying... and not coolness...
so bullshit, i hadnt known him for long, but we were really close.

suicide hurts so much, but sometimes it can seem like the only thing that will be of any use

The tired "suicide is selfish" argument is about the most obnoxious thing anyone can say. Get off your fucking high horse and shut your worthless mouth before you go talking about things you don't understand. Depression is a disease, it has nothing to do with being selfish or selfless, implying as much is like blaming parkinson's patients for making others take care of them. God, that's infuriating. Pure ignorance.

To anyone with depression, I can only say this: PAXIL. Seriously. It's the best thing since God invented snow. Others are okay, but... paxil. Trust me.

Really not funny or appropriate man. A girl killed herself because life seemed so overwhelmingly terrible and you think it's a humorous example of natural selection?

When you think about it what it does to families

Imagine if your son, brother, cousin, sister, aunt, uncle, nephew, neice, friend etc. killed them self. That would make even more people depressed. People close to you kiling themselves ruins lifes.

i've had depression for the past three years. it was super serious the first year, but it's started to "clear up" and stuff. i didn't take medication because i swear it makes you addicted, i don't care if people argue there but my mom is still on the stuff. the weird thing is i don't think i ever thought about killing myself. it just wasn't an option for me. i have far to many plans for my life i'm not going to let it be fucked up just because of some crappy years during my teens.
i think one reason why i never even considered it was because i found my brother's suicide note (depression runs in our family). he was 15 when he wrote it i think. i'm basically positive he never wanted anyone to read it, but i was nine when i found it so yes i snooped. reading that made me think of everything that would happen with suicide. and i thought how much i would miss my brother and i knew how much my parents would, so i knew i would always have people that loved me. that was the worst thing i've ever read.
sometimes you don't have a choice when it comes to depression, but i think most times you have a choice for suicide.
