Since the end of my childhood I thought obsessively about my death. It became self termination, soon after. I tried to kill myself three times, one OD, going to a cliff to jump (I didn’t, and suffered no injury), and drowning. I wasn’t under long enough to pass out. I’ve held a knife in my hands thinking about burying it in my body multiple times. I think about suicide constantly, but over the years only attempted really once, I suppose. I feel as though I don’t have the right to call myself suicidal. If I’m not that, what am I? If I don’t feel this way, can I feel anything else?
I don’t want to live, but I must suspect I won’t be able to kill myself either. Hoarding pills isn’t good, after all.

Pills usually don’t work, just so you know. And slitting the wrists is very low success rate also…
What has driven you to these thoughts and attempts?
I feel the same way. And I’ve tried the OD. I’d used the wrong medications. I’ve done boatloads of research and now I know that has an extremely high chance of success…
Life has. I do alright day to day, but at the end of the night I hurt bad I want to die.
i feel same way, i have made many attempts but none having even come close to me being dead and it is very frustrating i need to find a sure easy way…….
Hanging or jumping. Those are the 2 most successful ways. But not at all easy to implement. They’re scary, and that’s why so many of us are still here.
I plan to do both. Jump off a bridge with a noose around my neck. Like an old execution. Broken neck = quick death.
Just my take on it, though.
I researched it, even looked up kinds of rope. There are no bridges where I am and I’m not confident my ceiling fan can hold my weight. I though about door knob hanging.
