I'll be honest. I've tried a few times. The last time I tried to overdose on pills, and it was the most miserable time of my life. I was out of it, throwing up until I had nothing but blood to throw up, fading in and out of consciousness.
I didn't care if I felt pain, though, because I was going through enough pain at the time to make it worth it. You know what happened, though?
This was right before Christmas. My father ended up in counselling, because the news set his depression into a huge spiral. He started to drink an awful lot. Both my parents were wondering if I'd be able to come home for Christmas. We kept the news from my little sister until she was done exams, but she was hurting too. My fiance, who had to take me to the hospital, was hurting.
You see, even if you could find a way to commit suicide that wouldn't cause you any physical pain (which there isn't), it's like ripples in a pond. You send ripples of pain outwards into everyone who knows you.
There are ways to overcome anything. Why did I do it? I suffer from mental health issues, and I have now failed out of school 4 times because of it. I had lost my friends, isolated myself from my family, and was in debt. I couldn't take another episode, because I was drained from fighting it for so long. Because of my incident, I went for treatment at a mental health clinic, and I am now on medication, seeing a counsellor every other week. I'm learning coping skills, and I even have help with school.
Any thing that you are going through can be conquered, and you'll be stronger for it. I wouldn't take back an ounce of my suffering, because of who it has made me.
Be strong. Go get help. Make your life what you want it to be.

If you are feeling suicidal at this time call 911 NOW or go to the nearest hospital Emergency Room for help.
Suicide is not the answer to your problem(s). If you have not already done so I would like you to call the National Suicide hot line. There number is: 1-800-273-TALK (8255). They operate 24/7 and are totally free and confidential. They have a network of crisis center around the country they can refer you to for help, probably one right in your home town or close to you. The call takers are trained professionals who are volunteers and are there to help you; so please give them a call, they can and will help you through this.
You do not say what is bothering you to cause you to think of suicide. Whatever it is it CAN BE RECTIFIED or mitigated that I am certain of. Please call the hotline or go to the hospital for help. I know there are people who love you and would miss you if you were to do this. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

Kittzen answered Tuesday July 6 2010, 10:07 pm: This is not the answer you’re looking for i am sure, but sometimes when you feel like this is the end and you just can't go on, because of whatever reason. The best thing to do is just get away. Maybe go for a long walk or solitary vacation where you can just stop and look back on what is really bothering you. Try thinking about all the good times in your life, and always remember that a least five people in your life will be sad if you died. You might not think so now, but I quartette it.
