I mean obviously, if they went through with it, they wouldn’t be here posting…. But I’m sure if some of them did. there are probably some people on here who can stand witness. Perhaps they’ve known some of those people, even if only from on this forum…. I suspect that there are some here (I won’t name anyone or point anyone out– I doubt I could yet anyhow, I haven’t been here that long, but even if I could I’m not trying to stir anything up here) who are just sort of emo and looking for kicks and drama, but I am curious how many people here are really really serious, and roughly how many people who’ve came to this site, in the past, have actually went all the way through with it and ended their lives?
I know of the suicide pact several yrs ago where some girl and some older guy met up on this site and locked themselves in a car and fumed themselves to death, it got a lot of media attention… This is likely the reason why they put this disclaimer on this forum about gathering suicide pacts among members (which is understandable i could imagine). So I know there have at least been 2 people. Maybe more?

my hypothesis is the older the suicide person, the more likely they are serious about it….. That’s not to say all younger people are bluffing or emo-ing, hell, there may even be a few older people emo-ing, but statistically I would assume people in their 30’s and up are more likely to be serious, I would imagine (?)….
I can tell you I almost “made it”. My wife abandoned me, and along with other issues at the time, I flipped out, took 30 Ambien, drank a mixture in a container, went face down in salt water, swallowed water, all in the middle of the night with absolutely noone around.
Its a miracle I am here, truly.
I’m sure I commented on someone’s post who disappeared after posting about committing, I’ll see if I can find it.

My cousin outed herself… Pretty sure she didn’t go on the internet first, actually I don’t think she had internet connection out there in the desert… When I jumped, I didn’t have internet access – I am sure that if my cuz had been aware of internet supports she wouldn’t have done it. I know sometimes my internet connection is all that connects me to anything.
Yeah I’m sure there have probably been a few, hell technically it’s a miracle I am alive today, about maybe 12 yrs ago I swallowed a mouthful of remeron and wellbutrin with a 40, enough that it should have stopped my heart dead in it’s tracks… Somehow or another I managed to just throw up stomache acid and bile, and walked it off, didn’t even have to go to the hospital… Never even mentioned it to anyone. Of coarse this time I’m gonna use a shotgun, not much chance of anything malfunctioning there.
Most people whom are really suicidal have been this way for many years and often have a series of unsuccessful attempts before they finally succeed. It’s not usually one problem, but a series of problems… There may or may not be a central issue that all the other issues form around.
This question comes up sometimes. There have been many who have gone through with it. There was a thread not long ago that listed some of them, but i don’t have it bookmarked, or remember what it was called.
I did it.
