There seems to be a stigma attached to those who have considered suicide. I'd like to take a stand here and admit that yes, I've considered it more than once, and even came very close once as a child. If I'd been older, or braver, or less afraid of pain, or had a quick painless option available to me back then, it's very likely I would not be here now typing this on my phone.
When the world is against you, and your problems seem insurmountable, taking one's life can seem like such an EASY solution to everything. And the more you think about it, the more reasonable and logical it sounds, and the temptation to take the easy way out becomes stronger and stronger. Take note. This is a warning sign, and if you ever feel your thoughts traveling down this path, seek help fast. Talk to someone who you can vent to, and who can give yout honest advice. It's never too late until you take that last final step.
Erectile, thank for the bravery in admitting that. As you will probably guess from my comments, I too have considered and also had two failed attempts. The other side of failed attempts is "Fuck, i can't even do that right.". I'm very open with those who are close to me about the details. The medication keeps me "balanced". I seem to find myself in situations that are extremely complicated and stressful. I'm to blame for most of this and quickly drop them, but there is a root cause to all of this that I've yet to conquer.
I'm a recovering substance abuser of 20 years. I figure if I can conquer that, I can conquer mental health.
