Also, guys, don't commit suicide. Please?


I won't.Not after last time. I don't want to go back to that.

I heard you were talking about it on this thread, and it's true. :(

Div, suicide is not the way out. Suicide can end a bad time in your life, but it will never give you the opportunity to have a good life.

I'm too much of a coward to contemplate it seriously.


If you ever think about it, go to TET, call your family, and most importantly call a hotline.

I've been in a suicidal situation before, I nearly killed myself, and I'm so happy I didn't go through with it.

Depending on your own weaknesses to preserve you is not a position you want to linger in. Get happy as quickly as possible.

It's not a matter of just getting happy. They are mostly factors out of my control. It's a matter of time.

I have to say I have never contemplated suicide as an option.

I find that it would be a waste of my time, plus it would just be in general a waste of a great future ahead.

*Checks AQ thread*
Nope, but even if you did post something funny, you probably wouldn't be quoted in there.
Because apparently, there is some strange fucking standard which makes it nearly impossible to be quoted in that fucking thread!

No. I don't. I'd rather you try to seek help as so as possible, be them strangers, close people, or a psychiatrist.

Life is a factor out of our control. We delude ourselves into believing we have some mastery over what happens to us but that way lies madness. Our only options are toendure the ride or enjoy it.

Easy there, man. I know you want to help, but getting ticked off at him is not liable to help. =/

It's traumatizing.

I just can't come to terms with such a thing.

To be completely honest, I had suicidal thoughts after finding out about my own sexuality.
