Is this depression or crazy?


Question Posted Tuesday September 27 2005, 11:30 pm

I write out suicide notes and read them over and over...i write long paragraphs explaining to my family why I killed my self..while I write it I am laughing and thinking how fun this is, I get a thrill out of it. Sometimes I think I am depressed, but I don't feel depressed. I love thinking about suicide, wondering who would be at my funeral, if anyone would cry or care. I feel like I am going crazy, it's always on my mind, am I just crazy? Because I don't have any of the symptoms of depression..

Additional info, added Thursday September 29 2005, 12:14 pm:
Well here is some additional information about this. Like I said I doubt I have depression, but I do feel sometimes I have a mania. I don't know of what kind, but my thoughts race and I do things without thinking sometimes, and afterwards I see how aweful it was, its a sudden impluse and I dont even know until afterwards. Could I have manic depression? or something to do with being manic? Im really lost, and most of you are saying 'stop thinking about killing yourself you dont have a reason to.' I know I dont have a reason, I have alot of things, great parents, I believe in God, Great boyfriend, good friends, alot...but I am just driven to these thoughts, the come and go, and there is no way in hell I can stop them. I try and focus on activites and stuff, but they are their in my brain 24/7. Sometimes I feel as if these thoughts enter without my consiousness. .

Get your self some Niacin you can get it at any GNC or vitamin shop.

It is why suicidal patients get better. Look it up.

Its your only option Most people will be totally cured from depression im a matter of weeks.

I have tried every thing there is and this is the only thing that works.

Dont stop taking it. With out Niacin it is impossible to get better.

sometimes we feel like people don't care and we wounder what they would do if we died...the one thingy that you have to try to do is focos on positive things when suisidal thoughts come to the mind. if that doesn't work then try talking to a parent, good friend, or counceler.hope i helped!good luck!

It's good that you are worried about this, and it's good that you're trying to get help. You can't get the right help here, though...You need somebody who is trained to help people like you, so you can really get over this. This number is a hotline that you can call to talk to somebody-1-800-949-0057. If you ever need help, you can e-mail me anytime. Good luck!

Everyone thinks about suicide, not actually as in they are thinking about it, but everyone gets curious about it, and thinks about it. What I think you should stop is the suicide letters, and here are my reasons for that. Number one is, its just plan sick and weird, and it can make you depressed thinking of it. I'm not saying you are sick, but it will make you mentally ill. Number two, is because your parents just might find those letters, and the next thing you know, you're in an institution because they would be horrified. Could you imagine seeing suicide letters in someone you love's journal, or in their room or something. Its horrifying. Its ok to be curious about your funeral, and who would be sad, and who would be there, but its a totally different thing if your curiousity gets out of control. And I'd say that writing suicide notes is probably an out of control curiousity. But again, we don't want to make this into something it may not be. So, I think you need to stop with the letters first off.


You say that you have really great things in your life. Thats a really good way to get your mind off of suicide. Anytime you think of it, just think, "my death won't be until a long time, and I won't die of suicide because my life is great. I've got a great life ahead of me. I have a boyfriend who I want to spend the rest of my life with, my family loves and supports me, and they'd hate to see me die, the people in my life want me alive." Now, to me, it sounds like this could be a type of mental illness. If you think that it is more serious, then I think you need to start letting your family know. I would really like to help you in this. So, if you're unsure of how to tell your parents, or need more help, I'd be very glad to help you throgh this. Because, its terrible to see a girl with a great life and other things go and have these thoughts.

Shannyo answered Saturday October 1 2005, 9:45 pm:
Well I can tell you that by writing out notes, you are pre-programming yourself unconciously to possibly commit suicide someday. I know that sounds crazy-but it's true. It is normal to wonder and worry about the things you do...but when you start to feel sad, alone, and HOPELESS...you need to seek some professional help-because that is depression. There is no such thing as "crazy", it's just a term people like to use that don't want to admit they think the same things, and we all do. So...keep your chin up-and start thinking of ways that you can wonder how much people love you for the things that you do for them now...and not how sad they will be if you were no longer there to do things for or with them anymore. Your perspectives and thought patterns will change before you know it,and gradually your number one concern or worry in life will be how you want to live, not how others will feel when you die. Good luck to you and god bless.

Well i dont want to be rude, but yes... you are crazy. I would totally understand the whole suicide thing if you were deppressed, but since you arent and you love the thought of killing yourself, then that is crazy. Killing yourself for no reason is the stupidest thing that i have ever heard of. I know this si mena and all but it is the truth and i hope that you stop thinking about killing yourself because that is very wrong and you ahve no reason to. Alot of my friends that actually are deppressed and try killing themselves regret it heavily if they fail in doing it. They think death is the only answer to their problems but after they try it and are in an ER they realize how wrong they are. They are actually depressed and cant stand living without a moment of happiness. You seem to be happy rite now and dont have a single thing wrong with you so i dont get why the hell you want to kill yourself. Your making a big mistake by writing those letters to because if someone finds those then you are going straight to the crazy house, then you'll have a real reason to ahte life and you will be deppressed and you will want to kill yourself. THen you wont be able to cause no one finds a way of killing themself there. hope i could help, sorry i was so mean, but i had to be honest, thats what im here for... truth hurts hunny! but i am alwaishere to talk to so if you need ne thing else then you can drop one in my box! bye! x3 hannah

WovenLynx answered Wednesday September 28 2005, 4:17 pm:
You aren't crazy or depressed. I use to do this exact same thing. Just to think of what would occure afterwards, like what my boyfriend would do...or my parents, friends yadda yadda. I got over it after about 8 years of doing it. I recall leaving one of my suiced notes out in the open 'on accident' for my mom to find. She did...and she came to my school thinking I had done it already, on my way to school or something. Well...needless to say I almost put her in the hospital from a heavy and hard hitting panic attack. Yeah, my parents and I dont get along still...but it showed me a little. Maybe you should do this...just set a stage...and play it out...If it doesn't turn out your way...then continue *Best of luck*

sbloemeke answered Wednesday September 28 2005, 3:52 pm:
You aren't depressed. Being depressed is writing these notes because you want to die. Depression is thinking that your life stinks. I'd avoid thinking about suicide that much though, because thoughts control your feelings. It'll make you want to commit it, and that's not fun.
Be careful. And no, you aren't crazy.

Curemysadness answered Wednesday September 28 2005, 3:25 pm:
It sounds like have somewhat of an obsession. If you are constantly thinking about something horrible like suicide, and you love it..I think you should try to talk to someone about it. By that I mean a counseler or a psychiatrist. You shouldn't think about suicide all the time. That's kind of crazy if you ask me! Just try to find someone who you can talk to.

You may or may not be depressed, but something is not quite right.

Anything you obsess about to the point of its bothering you should be looked into by a doctor.
See someone about it soon so it doesn't become worse. :)

I don't think it necessarily means that you're depressed, but I suggest another hobby. It's never healthy to obsess over hypothetical situations.

nickyrocks answered Wednesday September 28 2005, 2:03 am:
If you are truly considerering killing yourself, please seek help. It is important to find someone you can confide in. If it's always on your mind, then it is important to vent. It does not seem very good to spend most of your life thinking about your death. I'm not saying seek a thrapist imiediatly (because you have not actually attempted suicide), but talk to your parents, or a trusted family member about how you are feeling.

TaintedPurity answered Wednesday September 28 2005, 12:30 am:
Maybe you're just obsessed with death, and curious if others care about you enough to be sad when you die. You may not want to die, but you seem to just be very curious about how the world would react to your death.
