Q: this site is typical right wing bunkum. people come to these sites for quick an relatively painless ways of committing suicide, not to be told "no, don't do it, u have so much to live for!!!!!!!!!!" Believe me, most of us have already thought through the alternatives, been to numerous councellors, tried antidepressants etc. these treatments just don't work for everyone. Just offer practical solutions for those who have made the moral right to choose to end their lives, or shut the hell up and stay off this forum!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm a liberal, so I'm not right-wing.
When someone asks us a question, it becomes our business.
Look. I tell people not to kill themselves because I've been there. I found this website years ago because I was looking for a way to kill myself, pain-free. I thought I'd tried everything. 10 years of counselling, 7 years of antidepressants, etc. I was at the end of my rope.
Fortunately, I took the advice I was given and held out a little longer. It's taken a few more tries, but I now have a treatment that works. And yes, because of my diagnosis I'll be on medication forever, and I'll never be perfectly 'normal'. But I have a lot to live for, and every day I thank those people who had the balls to stand up and challenge my decision and tell me that I was being stupid and giving up too soon.
Everyone has a chance at happiness. Everyone has multiple chances. Just because what you've done so far hasn't worked doesn't mean that you should give up, because life isn't chess or baseball. You can't pick it up later once you've quit.
You have the right to do as you please. We have the right to advise you as we please. Remember that.

My Personal Forum
My name is Amanda and I'm 26 years old. I'm currently studying electrical engineering. Armed with a fairly odd sense of humour and a sunny outlook on life, I'll take on just about anything. I'm also cussedly stubborn, which has its ups and downs. Things get tough sometimes, and I've never been one to run from it.
In my last 8 years with Advicenators, I've gone from honours student to failing out of university (and getting back on top again!), from single to married, from tenant to homeowner.
Until lately, I have been struggling with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder and OCD, which had basically ruined my life and taken just about everything from me. I'm thankful every day for every experience I've had because of this ordeal, because it's helped to make me who I am today. Things like that really make you appreciate what you do have. Now that I'm back in work and school and starting to become myself again, I couldn't be happier. I credit Advicenators with saving my life back when I was a teenager, which is a big part of why I'm still here.
I won't necessarily give you the answers you want to hear, but I'll always be honest and do my best to help.
