“Delete if not allowed. I’m not suicidal, and i haven’t been in years, but recently death has sounded inviting. submitted by /u/Mooi_Meisie [link] [comments]”
“It’s funny how they warn people with mental health problems NOT to take psychedelics but the funny thing is there are sooooo many people on those communities and none of them are hitting their heads on rocks”
“Im suffering I can’t do it anymore Im dying by the minute submitted by /u/SingleCartoonist8519 [link] [comments]”
“You need to apply yourself. Based off what I read you have a great starting point and you are just failing to take advantage of it. Im not saying you can't feel like this, its just you actually have every reason to turn your life around. Your gripes are having to pay for food at a birthday party, and not being able to afford the things you want. Welcome to 99% of people alive today. This post is a rare case where the OP actually does need to "pull themselves up by their bootstraps"”
“I was about to try suffocating myself, but then picture how my parents and brother will react seeing my body... sort of got to my senses, and stop myself.”
“I'm going through some horrible shit too, man. It feels like so many people are going through bad times right now. Try to remind yourself that your life is more than this moment, and eventually you will pull through and things will look better.”
“You might have depression.. I was like this for a while.. now feelings are back.. and it's even worse..”
“Keep reminding her and if need be tell her why you want it. A normal parent would want better for you”

“It’s what you make of it. Like to jump out of planes? Keep sky diving. Wanna shoot meth? That can kill you super fast but you still have free will. Wanna go flirt with a Starbucks employee. Go for it. Wanna volunteer to help the needy? Do it. It’s literally that simple. There is no shoe that fits all.”
“What happens to a soul in particular after ending life ? I'm going through a lot and I want this pain to stop I really tried my hardest yet I can't anymore submitted by /u/No_Ratio6089 [link] [comments]”
“I don't know why I do it honestly. submitted by /u/OkSwimming517 [link] [comments]”
“You’re not alone. Have an upvote. I understand how bad things can get. The only way to fix negative patterns is by starting positive ones, but you have to make the effort until it doesn’t feel pointless. You’ll get through it and be glad you did later on.”
“I WAS SCROLLING ON YT AND I FOUND 2 PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT SPAWNISM AND CARVING SYMBOLS INTO THEIR ARMS AND THEY SAID something Abt killing themselves on Halloween to show support. I HAVE REPORTED RHE COMMENT BUT IDK WHAT TO SO. their user is dorklythecritic I think submitted by /u/Anthony_Recino [link] [comments]”
“I'm really sorry. I hope you don't go through with it. Can I ask if you have tried medication like antidepressants?”
“Same. I should probably consider offing myself too. There's geniunely no point in living when you have autism like me.”
“the thought of my cat, confused about where i went, snapped me right out of it on the days that felt super hard.”
“I feel bad about it too. I hope my comment wasn't the trigger. I want to apologize if it was!!”
“I need to be alive for when the biggest pieces of shit that ever lived die, I just can't miss that party.”
“My fear of death has gotten worse and worse each hour as I sit and try to distract myself. I fear death so much I just want to get it over with and see what happens, to face God and either cry in relief or just fade into nothing. Anything seems better than the constant state of fear I’m in. I need help and I know it, but I’m too much of a coward to ask for help from my family or friends, I can’t even get the words out. I cry at the thought of dying but I feel worse when I think about typing out”
“How pathetic am I, I can't even get support from reddit. Don't know why I even thought I would. Noone has ever cared about me. Really wanting to end it now. submitted by /u/OppositeThanks5883 [link] [comments]”
“Some people may find some relief to feel like they are being heard even if they don’t want an actual response”
“Not to mention- don’t say it just for attention or sympathy. This is a serious topic.”
“My friends family had an friend they only saw 1x a year, he lived far away and they also didn’t talked much within the years. He ended his life two years ago. My friend is devastated till this day. His death brought back her depression and ED, she‘s still in therapy and is asking herself what she could‘ve done differently. With this story I only want to share that everybody does matter to someone, even if you‘re not „feeling“ it or „seeing“ it. I know it’s hard to believe because depression some”
“on my days off i dont eat all morning at all! guess im gonna die early. yes! submitted by /u/Ok_Percentage_6552 [link] [comments]”
“Save usernames of people who do things of this nature, talk with other people who've experienced this and have them do the same. All roads of that behavior have a potential to lead down some very dangerous rabbit holes involving extremist groups. There should be a subreddit made in order to out these people to try and give fair warning.”
“I’ve been there. It takes a toll on you. Granted I first started going on there when I was suicidal. But you can get stuck in a pit of despair. Only help when you have your safety mask on first. If you have it in you, you can. But you have to put yourself first. You won’t help anyone depressed or dead.”
“Why are we comparing mental conditions? They both suck and are terrible, there's no need to compare them.”
“OP, suicide does not fix anything. I just want to say that. Life's not a fairytale. it's up to you on how you rock up your own world. I'm also sort of in some shit rn. but yeah yk. sometimes you gotta cope. get off bed and do something outside.”
“I'd like to add that it seems like you're aware of the aftermath of making that choice; weather it's now or later, no amount of preparing if going to make it any easier for anyone... I've been there, when that feels like the only safe option to escape if feels like a safety net for you to breath, but that also isn't healthy. Regardless of what you can or can't change in your life, one thing you can do is be nicer to yourself (yes I know how it sounds, but still); take a e”
“You are not a monster, or a freak, or failing your mother. Not everyone feels the same way when somebody dies. Some people cry and are devastated by it right away. Some people will not really feeling anything until later on when they're reminded. Some people just don't get demonstrably upset. It's all fine. None of those are an indication of whether or not you cared about your grandfather. And it's very obvious that you care about your mother because otherwise you would not be he”
“Sorry, but if this is truly the way the world is, I'll hate the world, but I won't stop offering myself.”
“Advice? LEAVE HIM. I have been married to a life sucking depressed man for 35 years. It does not get better. They do not get better. You are wasting your life. Not only does anything you do NOT HELP, he does NOT APPRECIATE IT. They love to wallow. They love to piss and moan. They are unfixable. Please run away while you still have time. Do not make the mistake that I have made.”
“What is wrong with you people? How do you know this person isn't already involved with another religion? Why do you have to push your religion on people at their most vulnerable? Is it because that's the only way others will get on board? Through duress? Then think about the dynamics of that.”
“I guess this is just inevitable, that shock value has gone so far up that suicide is now the bar for attention.”
“Bro I'm so happy one day we all fucking die but I wish my fuckass day could come sooner ts so weird I wish this was all a dream or smt submitted by /u/alexgdagoat [link] [comments]”
“Not to hop on your thread and make it about me but did you find anything that helped you?? I suffer from multiple TBIs throughout my life giving me suicidal thoughts and the only thing stopped me is the possibility of living through it.”
“Yeah but i also fantasize about pulling a Dorner just to see everybody's (including the media's) reactions and the blame game to follow.”
“yessir. When I hated myself for some actions I did, I used to imagine blowing my head off with a shotgun or hacking the neck with an axe, but like there were 2 me's. One who did the killing and one who got killed, then I imagined my door was locked and no one paid attention, but later shit ton of blood flows slowly out under it. Just fantasies, u will get bored eventually its nothing.”
“If you know it was wrong and no one was hurt then just learn from it and move on. I'm confused why you haven't already if your gf has. More to the story?”
“You do not know the exact day or exact time but if you belive that it will come, one day ot will for sure come. You just have to put your whole trust on it”
I wish the same for you ✨ None of us deserve to suffer 🫶🏻
“Yea the fact the knife was real and they carried it around is honestly the only concerning part. I know they're not perfectly substitutable but they're close enough imo. When I'm suicidal I make sure I keep anything that can be a tool or assist as physically away and inconvenient to get to because all it takes is a second where you slip up and act impulsively. I worry about op seeking out similar coping strategies whenever they feel small or weak because the last time was "suces”
“You know what, ending your life won't make things better in the long run. I don't know if I've been where you're at but i was pretty deep too and something that helped me was finding people that actually cared and gave me importance and now i know 1 thing for sure Pain gets lower when shared so a lot of people are there who are open to sharing your pain so don't ever feel alone, we all are dealing with life at our own pace”
“i’m so, so sorry. losing someone like that is such a shock, especially when you’d just seen him a few days ago and he was such a familiar part of your everyday life. “hey kiddo” being gone from across the street is the kind of loss that can make everything feel unreal. you weren’t a burden for hugging Tyler or telling him you were sorry. you showed up for him in a horrible moment, and that matters more than finding perfect words ever could. just keep the offer open without putting pressure on hi”
“I freaking wish someone would send me there. Free vacation from my life honestly, someone taking care of me for once. Doesn’t seem that bad and they’d get real help.”
“my stupid words when I wished her death when she hit me when I was younger I felt the same... I'm not sure how to feel about that thought now ...”
“A pity it's not a real person saying this bullshit because then you could have gone off on them about how the second one's a terrible idea because it might make you relapse on an eating disorder or make you feel disgusting and want to KeYS. Tho I'm sure many people already do spout such garbage irl. I mean, the idea had to have come out of somewhere to be put online..”
“I am also struggling. I am not old at all. I have gone through so much. I don't remember the last time I have thought some sort of positive in my life nor do i remember the last time I had hope. ☹️ man I am sad. Thankfully it's almost 9 pm so I can sleep and repeat it.”
“cause living anyways is considered a good thing? like ppl usually prefer endurance over giving up:( It's a sad thing imo, ppl will pity the dead and praise those living when dying actually takes more courage.”
“Hi OP, I'm soorry you feel that way I don’t want to minimize how you feel or the reasons that brought you to this point. Some people fail exams every year and are able to cope with it, but for others, and it seems to be the case for you right now, it can feel absolutely unbearable. Your pain is real and legit ! You deserve the help you are asking for at the end of your post. But that also means accepting that this is not something you should carry alone, even if asking for help feels terrify”
“Sorry you’re going through this. The urge you have to help others is a very noble and selfless one, especially in this world where selfishness abounds. So there is no need to feel ashamed at this desire, it means you are incredibly compassionate. Your issue is with boundaries. Boundaries act as a shield to help prevent other’s issues from swallowing you up and robbing you of your identity, essentially trapping you in this martyr cycle. There is a way to care for and nurture people without it bei”
