Are there any painless ways to commit suicide? I have given up on life and pretty much want it to end since nothing seems to go right anymore. If you want some back story then I will be breif. I am 22 and have attempted suicide two times and they were obviously failed attempts. The first time I shot myself in the chest and survived, the second was overdosing but again failed. I have tried changing my life around but to no success. I have no parents to turn to and I have no siblings. My friendlist is zero and well...I think this can only be fate I suppose. Can anyone recommend a simple method?
I am also a survivor of multiple suicide attempts. When I'm at a good place in my life, I am not suicidal and I don't ever want to die that way, but I always slip back into those thoughts when living seems impossible. I've done almost everything to keep these thoughts from coming back, but at this point I've given up on getting rid of them completely. Now, I focus only on keeping myself from going through with it when the thoughts get bad. I have a permanent folder of suicide prevention bookmarks on my computer, for my own benefit as much as for some of the people I give advice to. Here are a few of the best ones I've found:
First is https://www.imalive.org/.
IMAlive is an online suicide 'hotline' that works through instant messaging. All the volunteers are well-trained and it is completely free. I've been involved with the organizations who created the site, and these people truly want to help. They wont judge you or tell you to smile your pain away.
Next is http://www.qprinstitute.com/Foreverweb.html.
This is an online version of the book Suicide: A Forever Decision. It is a thorough book written specifically for those considering suicide. It's not cheesy or belittling or unrealistic. It doesn't babble on about eternal damnation or anything like that. It is blunt and honest, and it is helpful. It helped me and hopefully it will help you.
Last is this page:
http://suicideprevention.wikia.com/wiki/International_Suicide_Prevention_Directory
It is a wiki page for suicide prevention, and has a comprehensive list of resources for people considering suicide. The link to online resources will probably help you most.
Of course, there are other things that would help you, like therapy and medication and friends. The first two get a bad reputation, but they can work miracles in the right hands. But I wont go into that here. I will say that your lack of friends and family is not your fault, and it is not fate. Bad things can happen to good people, good things can happen to bad people, and sometimes we can't do anything about it. That doesn't mean it was meant to happen.
Things will get better, if you give them a chance. Personally, I am resigned to spending my life bouncing between suicidal depression and 'normalcy', but the times when I am not depressed make the other times worth living through. I don't believe that when I am at my worst, but other people would always tell me that (and most of them weren't being idiots when they did) and I liked to try to believe it. And looking back after I have escaped from that place, I really do believe it. You can survive this, and someday you will feel better. Please, keep trying. Keep surviving. Someday you WILL feel alive again.
