That would be so damn traumatic and chances are you could still survive. The adrenal response would be so massive I doubt somebody could stave off reaching for food unless they combined it with a shitload of benzodiazepines.

Been there once as well a few years ago, lots of loved ones passed away in a very short period of time.

One very very dear to me dying in my arms as i tried to resuscitate her.

Lost 4 people in a timeperiod of less than three months and things looked very grim.
That's when my hair and beard turned grey and i became a bitter and grumpy old man.

Was having a lot of anxiety in early 20s and thought I was going crazy. I wasn't it was just anxiety but I had decided that if in fact I was legit going crazy I would jump off a bridge in the ice cold Chena River in Alaska and freeze to death or drown. Would never hang myself.

A quick jab of 300iu insulin away.

i did this, jabbed an entire cartridge of insulin and going to bed in hope that I wouldn't wake up, but I did - in a hospital bed with a torn tricep tendon and dislocated shoulder thanks to the hypoglycaemic seizure I suffered.

that was the last time I ever thought of and acted on suicide, will never entertain the thought again.

was in 2013, lived with my brother, he heard a lot of noise coming from my room, found me and called the ambulance.
the fit was severe, knocked the dresser over etc. can't remember a thing apart from waking up in an ambulance.
my brother heard me in the early hours of the morning, so had been at least a few hours.
according to the docs, seizure would have lasted for a few hours - the fit getting worse and worse.
even my tongue was screwed up, bitten it during the fit.

the fucking tricep tendon tear is the worst though, had surgery for it in the summer. still can't fully extend it.

I hope you have been able to come to terms with whatever was distressing you and getting yourself out of depression.

That's the problem with suicide. It fucks up the people u leave behind. Then again, maybe they're the reason you're miserable.

A good friend of mine committed suicide 4 years ago at 23 years old. His older sister and mother were devastated. I met his sister back in highschool and she was always smiling and had a great sense of humor. After my friend died she looks unhappy as hell, it's like she's upset all the time. I don't know what else is going on in her life but I can't help but thinking the death of her little brother had a tremendous impact in her life.  :(

A schoolmate of mine tried to hang himself in his parents garage many years ago.  His younger sister and mother returned from girl guides and found him dangling in the garage unconscious.    He survived but the failed suicide attempt left him with a severe brain injury which requires others to care for him (feed him, clothe him, bath him etc).   This happened around 1986.   His sister was only 11 at the time this took place, and seeing her older brother hanging in the garage traumatized her for the rest of her life.  She was never the same again.  You could see the pain in her eyes even today, 29 years later.   Suicide leaves a mark on the family that doesn't go away.

There were moments that I had dark thoughts, but probably never about a suicide directly, more like very very dark state of mind and soul. Went through some shit at early age, it was bad, but I was strong enough... That was quite long ago. I've not been taking life seriously for a long time now, like - at all, and I have less and less worries or stress as the time goes by, kind of a liberation, because it is just an adventure, and I'm ready for good or bad, as long as I'm here - I'll have to deal with it (or enjoy it), pretty much it, livin' worry free and each day is a good day.

My dad tried to last summer, but luckily my mom found him passed out on the floor overdosed on pills. Shaved his head and mustache to make it "easier" on everyone. Thinking we wouldn't recognize/take it as bad since it didn't look like him as much. Depression is not very logical when you reach that point.

Talked about doing it the "right" way after that (gun, etc.) for a bit after that while being in the psych ward of the hospital.

I know I am like him a bit in that way as I have bouts with depression as well but not nearly like I used to. Not to turn this into a religion thread (please don't in the way it happens on these forums) but I have a reason to live so I've never taken it that far.

Gotcha, could have been clearer from my end. If religion was the only reason to live then there would be a lot more dead people on the world.
Your wording threw me off a bit as that is what I thought you were going to get at but I don't look at it skeptically so that was where our wires got crossed a bit.

People who kill themselves and then whine about it after they are dead via note, video or what have you, are weak and selfish.

When folks commit suicide they often leave a lot of unanswered questions, which hurt family and friends. Whether or not a suicide note, video, etc. helps or hurts loved ones depends on its content.

Coming off Zoloft I came really close, when I realized it it scared the hell out of me

Did you quit cold turkey or dial it down over a period of time? This often makes a difference in how you'll feel. Generally speaking, doctor's advise folks to gradually reduce these types of meds to avoid bad reactions.

Usually when I log onto here. But then I think of the children.
Whose offspring? Trust me, Coach, you have a (GB) following. Let us know.

They do now because there where a good percentage of people who killed themselves or attempted to kill themselves. Doctors weren't telling people to dial it down a decade ago. They were having them stop cold turkey etc. Many people died because of very bad advice from doctors.

Don't think they knew at the time. Same with all the bad Prozac press 20-plus years back; they learned as it happened.

How truly unfortunate.  My doctor was more enlightened, thank goodness.

My dad tried to last summer, but luckily my mom found him passed out on the floor overdosed on pills. Shaved his head and mustache to make it "easier" on everyone. Thinking we wouldn't recognize/take it as bad since it didn't look like him as much. Depression is not very logical when you reach that point.

Talked about doing it the "right" way after that (gun, etc.) for a bit after that while being in the psych ward of the hospital.

I know I am like him a bit in that way as I have bouts with depression as well but not nearly like I used to. Not to turn this into a religion thread (please don't in the way it happens on these forums) but I have a reason to live so I've never taken it that far.
^^
Is he OK now bro??  I hope so!
