Hi, my name is Kelly. I am eighteen years old and I am a freshman in college. When I was around ten years old, my older sister tried to kill herself. While I do not remember the details exactly, I do remember that she had to go to a mental hospital for two weeks, and it was very hard for me and my family. I have suffered from depression for as long as I can remember, and this has included almost daily thoughts about suicide. I cannot count how many times I felt that there was no other way to escape my pain than to just end my life. Fortunately, I had family and friends who loved me, and for whom I convinced myself to stay alive. Sometimes, however, it is not always so easy to see the logical reasons to stay alive. A few years ago, I was stressed out from school and I was depressed, so I took two prescription painkillers and twelve advil. By the time I had take twelve, I realized that I did not want to die, and stopped. Still, the fact remains that I had tried to kill myself. I was very lucky that nothing happened to me. I ended up telling my therapist and my parents, and they all helped me through it. While I still think about suicide, I know that it is not the answer. If you want to talk about suicide, I would love to be there for you. I may not be able to completely heal your pain, but maybe I can help.

hey when i was 14 (right after i was harrased, read the sexual harasment/abuse forum i posted) i tried. i was stressed about telling my parents about ^that and so i decided that i wasn't going to have to tell. if i could die it would be over and no-one would care. the pain would be gone! wrong if i died i would have to live eternal life knowing that my friends were hurt! not good.!

It seems amazing how tempting suicide can be. When everything is going wrong, it just seems like the easiest way to make all of the pain go away. However, we often fail to consider the pain we would leave to others. It is really awesome that you are able to realize that. For a very long time, I was convinced that suicide would only affect me. I thought that if anything, it would take the burden of my problems away from everyone else. I couldn't understand why people would consider suicide as 'selfish'. But through time, I have realized that by taking your own life, you abandon those around you without taking into consideration their feelings. In fact, this realization has saved me many times. While it may seem easy for me to hurt myself, I hate to hurt others. I feel truly blessed to have such a loving support system of friends and family.
