Hi, I would like some advice on the best method of suicide please.
This is not a cry for help I have decided that living the socially retarded way I am is no longer a option for me.
Thanks.

AloneAllways, There is no best way of suicide.
Every method of killing yourself is going to caused great pain either emoitanally or pysically. If there was an easy way, I'm sure I woulnd't be here typing this. I think the easiest way is to keep trying to live your life and get over whatever is making you feel like you want to end it. Then if you do that and it gets so unbarable suicide really is the only option for you, I dont think you would care about how easy it is as you would just want to die.
As long you still have a shread of hope, keeping working with that to try and improve your life, as against whatever the odds may be it still has a chance of getting better that way, and that is something too big to throw away.

I feel for you. I've read about the subject myself. Just so you know that others have been in the same position. Not just some statistic, like x% of people seriously consider suicide.

Hi, I would like some advice on the best method of suicide please. This is not a cry for help I have decided that living the socially retarded way I am is no longer a option for me. Thanks. Hi AA, I’ve been pretty much alone all of my life as well. I’ve never had much in the way of friends, certainly not any girlfriends (and, yes, I’m still a virgin, and I’ll likely die a virgin). Everything you would want to know about me is at my website: users3.ev1.net/~solitarysoul/So tell us about yourself? Are you in school? ... College? ... living with your parents? ... unemployed? ... married? ... children? ... an escapee from a mental institution? ... a troll living under a bridge? How old are you? What are your interests? ... hobbies? What part of the world do you live in? ... what city? Is it raining there? ... cold? Do you have any friends? (Imaginary ones don't count, BTW.) What is your hat size? What is the nature of your shyness? Inquiring minds want to know. Solitary Soul All about me -> users3.ev1.net/~solitarysoul/-------------------------------------------------------- |

I know it's a cliche...but things will eventually get better. Life is full of surprises  Thankfully I'm so much of a coward that when suicide seems like the only option,I don't have the courage to even try. when things finally pick up I find it hard to believe that i even contemplated it....I don't know if it's true for everyone, but i know depression certainly makes me incredibly ilogical -I'm guessing you must be depressed-...I always end up making decisions that I regret. Please Try to ride it out...Life is so precious... |

Hey, I feel for you. I do. I know what it feels like to be alone. Trrrrust me. There is nothing as horrible as being alone.
But allow me to be a little cheesey and say that it's always darkest just before the dawn. How true that is!! I don't know why, but it seems that just when you're at your lowest, just when you think you couldn't take any more, somehow someway, something happens and things begin to change. My absolute most favorite phrase in the whole world was given to me by my dear grandmother..."And this too, shall pass..." Say it out loud to yourself over and over and slowly you will begin to believe it.
I can recall of a few times in my life that I had contemplated suicide. My life has always been filled with incredible ironies and bad luck. I often imagine that God is up in heaven with an incredible sense of humor, and I imagined to myself (given my bad luck) that if I should commit suicide, as the Lord is reviewing my life with me that he would say, "Man, that was really stupid of you to kill yourself. I know all the things that you wanted, and I've been working on them, and the thing is, had you lived, THE VERY NEXT DAY, I was going to give you EVERY single thing in the whole world that you ever desired! But...guess what!! You blew it!! You couldn't wait, just HAD to take matters into your own hands!! Now you'll never know what kind of true happiness you could have experianced."
I always imagined how hard that would suck. I imagined I'd run into an old family member or friend who would say something like, "So, I was talking to God a few years ago, and He was telling me about the wonderful man He was bringing into your life, all the wonderful friends, the great occupation and joys! He was even working on a way to end all that bad luck...we all knew how depressed you'd gotten! Tell me how great it was when you finally received all the God had to give you!!"
Then, I'd have to respond with , "Oh, well, I sorta, you know, killed myself before I got any of it."
It wouldn't have surprised me, so, I would always decide to stick it out one more day, then another, then another until finally, I'd think, "Hey, I really did receive all that I ever wanted!"
In fact, just a couple of months ago, I was personally depressed about some situations I was dealing with at work and now they have all resolved and I NEVER thought they would.
I hope I helped in some way.
Please keep us informed of how you're doing. Ask for any advise on any situation at all under the sun. There is always someone to help. There is never a problem without a solution.
Good luck.

I know an awful lot about being suicidally low. For a lot of reasons, I've been there, done that and worn the tee-shirt. I took an overdose about 14 months ago. I was diagnosed with HD a few years ago and I had started to show the symptons. I had to seperate from my wife and kids because of all this. Add to this the fact that HD is heridary and has destroyed my older brother.
I was so low that the only way out was by trying to kill myself. Lucky enough, I'm still here today to tell the tale. I have been on anti-depressants since.
All I do is echo most of what the others have said. A few months ago, I was at the funeral of a young girl in her twenties who lived close to me. This girl killed herself. The image of her family being carried out into a hearse in bits will never leave me. Ask yourself do you want to put your family through that?
The only pice of advice I can give is to enjoy every day. Get yourself down to your GP for some medication. It does work.

Hi everyone,... This is my first time here...I just found this place today...Wow...I can surely relate to many of your comments...It has been one year since I took an overdose myself...and I truly believe that the only reason I lived was because God intervened.. Honestly..I was mad at him too..for a while..Over that now...well kinda..I have always been very shy...I am a woman in my mid-life years...and have totally isolated myself since 1991.... I saw the post by ssoul....interesting....I love to shoot also...My favorite gun used to be a 357 python with a 6" barrel...However that was many years ago....When I was more social... This world can truly be so cruel and many people lack compassion, empathy and unconditional acceptance of others...  |

I attempted an overdose when I was eighteen. It obviously failed, though whether or not that's good is dubious. All I can advise you to do is try to eke something positive out of each day, whatever that may be. Of course I'm about as miserable as any person can be, but I do find solace in certain activities (blues/country music, literature.) Whatever your passions are, they will probably be the greatest deterent against what you are planning. Suicide is a mistake, and you can only make it once. Anyway...

I agree. 'Enjoy every day' is now my motto.

It's 1 of those things that could best be answered by those who succeeded, not by us. I personally jumped under a train, and for me obviously wasn't a good method. I suppose I was inexperienced, I had never done it before. One thing I think is true for me is that at the time I was so determined, sure and without the slightest fear or hesitation, that I was bound to fail spectacularly, as I have done.
Having said all this though, I have to emphasize that today I am very happy and grateful to still be here, and had I gone, it would have been a real mistake on my part and a total tragedy to family, particularly my mother.
So, my suggestion would be to try to avoid it, if you can. You might need treatment for depression, which can be very effective.
Finally, I really wish you the best of luck, and I hope you stay with us.

Thanks. hypothetically speaking i think that shooting yourself in the head would be the best way to go. seen as you say you're "socially retarded" it will be quite hard to go into a shop and purchase one though. i had a friend who drowned himself because he was extremely shy but he was borught back to life by the paramedics. every day i thank the lord jesus christ that he is still alive. it makes me want to sing "hallelujah" every day! love life, love jesus and don't play with guns - they're bad for you! |

There is a pic on the net of a guy who shot himself with a shotgun, in a suicide attempt. All he did was blow his jaw off. Think your life sucks now? Imagine how it would be with only half your face.
