It bothers me because failure means my life will be even sh*ttier, than it was before the attempt. I hope I do a good job of it.

Most attempts are unsuccessful because they’re either half hearted or half assed. Many are done on impulse and the methods used aren’t reliable or thought out. If you choose a proper method, do your research and execute it properly (no pun intended) you have a good chance at succeeding.
Yes! It’s hard to perform suicide successfully. I don’t exactly have euthanasia kits stashed away in the basement. I’m afraid I’m going to have a hard and bloody and horrifying death. I don’t want to die in pain and horror. But our bodies are hard to kill.
I bet the 92-96% are either drug overdoses or slitting wrists. Both are unreliable methods. If someone is serious about suicide and not looking for attention all they need is a good rope and a mindset to go through with the plan, like Slava said.
@rach yeah the bodies are hard to kill because they are programmed to survive. The body struggles and fights against death.. but it’s still possible.
look someone is telling us suicide is possible.some guys are genius.hehe just joking.how are you dude you miss me?hehe anyway is it possible to ask for forgiveness.the other night.you know i was a little high.i didn’t even remember what i did just found the post on my hibernated computer and saw the blah blah anyway what was the deleted comment say.just to know.
Have some self control…don’t try it at all!
I agree with SB….most “attempts” are just a cry for help….fuck that…..If you want to die there are methods and ways to do so painlessly without a chance for survival after a short time…. Now some may actually be serious attempts with the survival instincts being stronger than the desire for death….however….you can always overcome it….a common misconception is that you can’t overcome survival instincts….. the mind controls the body….the body can’t control the mind…….
