On May 1st 1947, 23-year-old Evelyn McHale leaped to her death from the Empire State Building’s 86th floor observation deck and landed on a United Nations limousine parked at the curb.
Photography student Robert Wiles took a photo of McHale’s oddly intact corpse a few minutes after her death. The police found a suicide note among possessions she left on the observation deck: “He is much better off without me… I wouldn’t make a good wife for anybody.”
The photo ran in the May 12, 1947 […]

This was the 2 brothers last conversation, right before Jim’s older brother tries to kill himself (again) by driving into a tree.

This is drivin’ me totally apeshit crazy.
Forlorn lists true contempt destruct
Dripping red is it time to come clean
Wash away everything

Hold the frame still life focus
One’s intent to not be noticed
Lost in lies graceful charms
Losing touch with everyone
Management terms and conditions
Waiting for own in addition
Contract is raised
The world’s greatest mortuary
Self destructive mechanism
Introvert overturn assasination
Make from steel the ugly weapon
Killer’s instinct from man to trigger
Peaceful time direct potential
Living through one’s own dementia
Come on hold arms
Dissect division caress duress
Invite delusion back moving through the keyhole
Trust in keeping a value judgement
Overthrown like a […]
People try to put us d-down
Just because we get around

Things they do look awful c-c-cold
I hope I die before I get old
NEW YORK—On a radio show they hosted called “The Pursuit of Happiness,” John Littig and Lynne Rosen urged listeners to embrace spontaneity.
“So much about life is about impulse,” Littig said on a broadcast this year on an FM station in New York, WBAI. “It’s about doing it right now.”
A shocking decision the couple made together appeared more methodical: Police say they killed themselves side by side as part of a suicide pact.
Autopsies found that both Littig, 47, and Rosen, 45, died from asphyxiation after inhaling helium, a spokeswoman for medical examiner’s office said last Thursday.

Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they’ve begun to question “Is this real, or is this just a ride?”
Other people have remembered, and they’ve come back to us and they say “Hey don’t worry. Don’t be afraid (ever) because this is just a ride.”
So we.. Kill those people.

“Shut him up.
We have a lot invested in this ride.
SHUT HIM UP!
Look at my furrows of worry.
Look at my big bank account, and my family.
This just has to be real.”
It’s just a ride.
I get hysterical
Oh, can you feel it
Do you believe it
It’s such a magical mysteria
When you get that feelin’
Better start believin’
Cause it’s a miracle
“I have never been so bored in all my life. All this woman does is work. It’s the same thing day after day. Get up. Get ready. Go to work. Teach school. Stay after school hours to prepare for the next day. Go home. Try to straighten up a little. Cook supper. Grade papers while the TV drones on and her husband watches ESPN in the ‘Man Cave’ downstairs.
Then she goes to bed and gets up the next day and does it again. It’s been the same thing for months now. I thought once summer arrived, there would be a break. But I learned […]

This has nothing to do with suicide. But it’s Friday night and there are a lot of lesbians* on this site it seems.
(*) and lesbians trapped in men’s bodies 😉
I stand alone and watch the clock
I only wait for it to stop
And in the room locked up inside me
The cutout magazines remind me
I sit and wait alone in my room

And in my room against the wall
There is picture very small
A photograph I took some years ago
It shows a picture of a girl I know
I sit and wait alone in my room
You are entering a red phase, THX.
Who permitted a mindlock priority in magnum cell 94107?
Got displaced so far from home
When I left, it’s on my own
Had someone, she used to stay
But I was cruel and I drove her away
Couldn’t get along with people I’ve known,
I changed my name. I changed my clothes.
But these old men, where have they gone now?
There’s not an issue they’d back due.
I say hi, what’re you d-d-d-doin over there?
Here I go down again
Lost my love all my friends
No one’s left no more debts
I found out all I got is myself
You cannot go against nature
Because when you do
Go against nature
It’s part of nature too
When you’re down
It’s a long way up
When you’re up
It’s a long way down
Back at the mirror, your good friend
Talk to the mirror, to play out your game
Slap in the middle, I stop then
Look at the winner, and the price you pay
Cold was the winter, I tremble
Long was the fall, that had no end

Little by little, everything changes
Little by little, the time goes
Little by little, the days pass by
Little by little, the air clears
Little by little, I can breathe again
I can breathe again..

Maybe I’m a *****. I just couldn’t do it either.
Has anyone played the ole “wants vs. needs” game, in therapy or elsewhere? Last year I was in a therapy group setting. Everyone got a pencil and a piece of paper. Make 2 columns for Wants and Needs, and just start listing each of our wants and needs as they came off the top of my head.
I had a few needs, like food clothing shelter and companionship. At first I couldn’t come up with any wants. So then it was time to put our pencils down. We went around the table, people were rattling off their wants and needs.

I wanted to share this elegant Venn diagram from a pair of recent casual and technical articles:
The theory goes that people at the center attempt suicide because they feel like burdens, they’re lonely and somehow they have the capability to kill themselves.
Basic questions:
1.) Do you feel lonely?
2.) Do you feel like a burden to others?
3.) Do you feel like you are capable of killing yourself?
Other questions:
4.) Do […]
Sometimes I have my doubts about people’s methods. Once in awhile someone will post that they plan to die by dehydration and/or starvation. More frequently we read about someone’s plan to randomly gobble handsful of whatever med’s they might find in their bathroom cabinets. We here empathize with others’ ups and downs. We know what it’s like to get carried away. I’m proud to see the support shared here and sometimes we need to gently write “that’s not going to work” in the best ways we can.
I was pretty sure that I wanted to die at age 13. 41 […]
