Question Posted Saturday August 30 2008, 1:46 pm

I want to commit suicide but I don'twant pain so I want to tak a bunch of sleeping pills I am 14 and a female. About how many do I need to take to die in my sleep? My ffriend that's like a brother to me went out drunk as a fucking skunk to jump off a cliff because he was really depressed and I couldn't stop him no matter what I did. I know it's "not the end of the word" and shit but I don't care! I waited all night and morning and ect but he never got on again so spare me the bullshit about not doing it and trying to convince me not to because everyone knows it doesn't work so spare yourself the energy and help me please.

If you are seriously trying to kill yourself you need to re-evaluate what you are doing. Overdosing is usually caught early before the person actually dies and leaves many people mentally and/or physically impaired for the rest of their lifetime. In addition, it causes the family extreme guilt and grief for "allowing" the overdose to happen. The way you are feeling is how you will be leaving your friends and family feeling--your actions WILL affect them all just like your friend's actions is affecting you.

Many people who have overdosed on various pills live later to tell how painful it was. Overdosing is not as simple as falling asleep and never waking up. Many people break out into cold sweats, have seizures, severe stomach pains, and so-on. Overdosing is painful and is not a "quick, painless way out" of life.

Overdosing on any type of pill is definately not painless and quick:

Overdosing usually leads to messy, painful and long-drawn-out consequences, including slow poisoning. There is not really a pain-less way to find death. If you attempt suicide, be aware that you will probably be in pain for the last bit of your consciousness, no matter what method you choose.

Imagine suddenly having problems breathing and feeling very dizzy and weak. You have to sit down in the floor and before you know it, things are spinning around you and you break out in a sweat. You have to lay down on the floor because you're so weak. Your stomach is hurting--it feels like something is going to rip out of your flesh and eat you alive. Your body starts to shake on it's own, but your muscles hurt so bad you just can't stand it. It's hard to breath now, you're gasping for air, but you can't see anything around you. You lay on the floor, in a puddle of your sweat, while you pray the pain stops. You begin to lose control of normal body functions, maybe you just urinated yourself. You slip in and out of consciousness, in and out of feeling jolts of extreme pain throughout your body that you can no longer control. You finally lose consciousness completely.

You wake up 6 months later. Someone, through a miracle of God, had found you in your very unpleasant state. You scared them deeply and they rushed you to the emergency room, where you spent hours of some group of workers time while they prayed they could save your life. A little 3-year-old boy died because they had to work on you before they could get to him but you won't ever know that. You're awake in a hospital bed you've been taking up for the past 6 months. You've lost your job in this time. Your friends and family have became ill from worry, and a couple have begun thinking of suicide themselves for "pushing you" to it. You now have a slew of medications you have to take daily or you become ill. You've lost control of coordination and will have to have physical therapy in HOPES you regain the ability to walk. You have problems talking and your words are slewed--you'll have to go through speech therapy too.

You cannot hold a decent job if you wanted to now. You cannot even walk from to the restroom without falling twice. You cannot communicate clearly enough for most people to understand you. If you aren't up with your medication, you wet yourself, so you have to constantly be wearing Depends. Because of your medications and your physical disabilities now you have lost your license and are unable to regain the privilege of driving. Your friends and family treat you like an infant--afraid of every move you make. You no longer can live on your own because you need physical assistance. You cannot even hold a pot up long enough to get it to the stove so you don't have one at all. Your neighbors have their eye on you now--just in case--and they talk about how strange you are and that they heard this and that from why you are disabled now.

Which is better? Your life now or the possible outcomes of your life after trying to commit suicide?

I'm sure you'd rather be alive and decently well than to wake up in 6 months, alone, confused, and impaired in some way.

Bad times always get better. You don't want to be left in a painful state, even if you got your stomach pumped if a family member found you is not a pleasant experience and you WILL remember it for a long time.

Seek some therapy to work through coping with the loss of your friend. Life throws some really tough stuff at us sometimes, but we know you can make it through this if you take the time to relax and seek help for yourself. Everybody loses someone, sometime. You can make it through this and we will help the best we can.

I have been there.
Things got better.

Please reconsider your suicide attempt.
It is not going to be like anything you have imagined.

If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask me! :)

Jesus Christ with the drama.

Sorry, but its early, and I'm a bit cranky.

Alright, so lets look at the facts here.

You said "never got back online"

So, you were having an online conversation where a friend told you he was going jump off a cliff. And he hasnt gotten back on.

What if, say, he was being just as melodramatic as you are, and just logged off and fumed in his room about how much he hates his life.

I mean, seriously, how common is it for teens to make stupid overdramatic statements about things because they're not too happy with having to deal with adult levels of emotion and then feel stupid about it later?

Pretty common I'd say.

So, Imagine what it would do to your friend if he found out his little tantrum was taken seriously and he lost a friend? About what this is doing to you?

Not to mention your parents. Your other friends. Family.

Do you really want to be responsible for that? I wouldnt.

You're right. Its not the end of the world. Only the end of the world is the end of the world. If Armageddon comes, let me know, and I won't argue with you anymore. Until then, you need to take stock of yourself and your reactions to things and maybe function a bit off of logic.

You should be worried about your friend and trying to figure out what happened to him, or waiting as patiently as you can manage (losing sleep would be considered normal, I would in your position) and find out what happened, if anything, and how you can help the situation.

If I'm wrong, and he wasnt just indulging in petty teen angst, then come back and ask another question, and we'll work on dealing with loss.

There is NO reason in life to kill yourself. No one on here is gunna tell you how to kill yourself, that is just wrong. Nothing can be that bad in life that you would need to end your life. Suicide is a PERMANENT SOLUTION TO A TEMPORARY PROBLEM. Just because your friend committed suicide, doesn't mean you have to.

You seriously need to talk to someone about this. It's the only thing that's gunna help you.

You're ONLY 14. You have a whole life ahead of you. Everyone goes through a stage in life where they just don't wanna be here anymore. Everyone gets through it.

Suicide is such a selfish thing to do. By ending your life. You're ruining so many more peoples' lives too.

I know you didn't want a lecture. But you got one.

Good Luck.

I think that by asking this question, it's your subconscious reaching out.
Just hear me out and read the whole thing babe:
There are other ways to solve your problems sweetie than suicide. I know that you must be feeling very sad right now, because I've been there before believe it or not. It's hard, I know. But hopefully I can convince you to not make a terrible mistake.
Like people said below me, suicide is absolutely permanent. The way that you are feeling now, I promise you it will pass. With just a little time and by talking about it to someone, anyone, that can help.
Even if your friend really did die, wouldn't he have wanted you to keep on going?

I refuse to "spare you the bullshit about not doing it", because deep down, you know that's what you asked for.

Talk to someone. A friend, a counselor, maybe even your parents. The point is to reach out, just like you did here to us.
Please think about it.

Wow...do you really think ending your life is the way to go? Lots of people have problems, you just have to learn to deal with them. There will be good times in your life and there will be bad times. Be strong and face them. Your only 14 years old. My mother passed away from cancer 2 months ago and it has been sooo hard for those past 2 months. But im haanging in strong because things will get better. You just have to know it will get better. You're only 14 years old you have the rest of your life ahead of u. Things will get better just be strong.

Comrade answered Saturday August 30 2008, 7:03 pm:
Suicide is an incredibly personal decision. If you feel you need to take that way out, so be it. Who am I to stop you?

However, just know that sleeping pills aren't the "painless" way to go. Death by overdose usually involved giving your body more poison than your liver can handle. Not painless, not pretty. It's not even guaranteed, and if it doesn't work you'll be a much more miserable person for it.

In a similar question asked here a few months ago, someone responded that voluntery euthanasia ("mercy killing") is legal in Switzerland, but it involves a lenthy application process, mental-health review, and is usually closed to foreigners. It's supposedly entirely painless, but it's probably not what you're looking for, since might take you a while and be beyond the resources of a 14 year old female, even if they do approve you.

Beyond that, my only advice is to not do anything unless you're entirely sure that it's what you want. You can't "undo" suicide.

I'm sorry for what you're going through, but no one here will give you methods to kill yourself.
Not only is it against Advicenators rules, it's a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
I hope whatever you are feeling right now subsides and you rethink your options, because at 14 years old, you have many.

Taking tablets, whatever tablets, will hurt. Painkillers/sleeping tablets, whatever. They will hurt you as they kill you.
Just cos your friend killed himself doesn't mean you should.

<b>Death is not an easy way out</b>

If the pain is putting you off killing yourself then are you really that set on dying? Doesn't sound like it to me.

karenR answered Saturday August 30 2008, 4:52 pm:
Nobody on this site is going to give you that information. Most deaths from drug ODs are not
painless or pretty.

Your drunk friend is probably sleeping it off
somewhere no where near a cliff. If you want
to help his depression keep him off the booze.
It is a depressent in itself and not at all
helpful.

I'm sorry all your talking didn't help your
friend to your satisfaction. Most teens your
age think they know everything and that the
world revolves around them. You don't and it
doesn't.

Good grief girl don't end a life that hasn't
even started to know what real life is about
yet.
