from damn them to hell Thursday, November 15, 2007 - 22:25 (Agree/Disagree?) Kevin and all the other f***ers who abused. The heartless leadership that made sure your mother died just for wanting to leave. (reply to this comment)

from figaro Wednesday, April 25, 2007 - 21:57 (Agree/Disagree?) I think about suicide a lot, the thing that has stopped me every time was the thought of my little brothers and sisters tears at my funeral. I'm lucky to have younger siblings whom I love dearly and love me the same. (reply to this comment)

from GetReal Wednesday, April 25, 2007 - 17:25 (Agree/Disagree?) Rest in peace brother . I never met you but feel your pain in a way that cannot be spoken . Every time i hear of another suicide it enrages me to a level higher then the rage i will always feel. In a way I don't mind it anger = feeling ,I like to feel.I could go on for hours but why should I? its all been said before . My condolences to his friends and family. peace (reply to this comment)

From v Wednesday, March 28, 2007, 01:25 (Agree/Disagree?) I'm very sorry to hear that. Deepest condolences to all those who loved him. Is there someone who knew him that could write something up to post in the memorial section? (reply to this comment)

from Hunter S. Thompson Sunday, September 10, 2006 - 13:46 (Agree/Disagree?) FOOTBALL SEASON IS OVER No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun -- for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax -- This won't hurt.

from Kitten Sunday, September 10, 2006 - 06:02 (Agree/Disagree?) Sometimes he thought again of suicide, and found himself longing, as though for a lost love or a treasured, vanished age, for the will, the desire, the sheer determination to end things that would have made killing himself a realistic possibility. Instead, suicide seemed as pointless and futile as everything else in life. You needed desire, the desire for death, to kill yourself. When you seemed to have no desire, no emotions or drives of any sort left - just their shadows, habits - killing oneself became as impossible as falling in love. Iain M. Banks, "The Algebraist" (reply to this comment)

from Cadoc Saturday, September 09, 2006 - 17:14 (Agree/Disagree?) The first time I thought of killing myself I was nine. Since then, I’ve contemplated when and how to do it on a regular basis. The weird thing is, those feelings pass and I start to realise staying around is worthwhile. Hope you pull up soon. Cadoc Bryn (reply to this comment)

from mia1 Wednesday, September 06, 2006 - 22:43 (Agree/Disagree?) dude ur my hero!!! I know what u mean give me the gun and I'll probably shoot my fucking head off. God I hate patronizing motherfuckers who are always acting like they know best. Since coming to this site I have tried to at least be honest, and yeah not a day goes by that I don't want to die, I would do it but it cost a shitload of money that I don't have and the additional problem or better said "can't do it Im a mom" shit. Anyways I had a boyfriend by the name of mike once a long time ago....damn good fucking I'll say!! Best advice; fuck ur brains out!! Ur life will still suck in the morning!!! (reply to this comment)

from exister Wednesday, September 06, 2006 - 14:35 (Agree/Disagree?) I continue to exist because I am enamored with the vast, pointless emptiness of it all. That is why I am the exister. And there can be only one! So don't try to take my fucking nic... :-) P.S. Whatever you do don't OD on Tylenol. You will die three days later of liver failure, after everyone you know has had a chance to chew you out for three days. (reply to this comment)

From loch Wednesday, September 06, 2006, 15:03 (Agree/Disagree?) no shit. That or you will be unlucky enough to just end up with liver issues for the rest of your days. grr.(reply to this comment)

From nameless Thursday, September 07, 2006, 10:57 (Agree/Disagree?) painless... Either OD on heroin or, bite down on a double barrel sawed off 12 guage. Its too easy. like fliping a switch.... there has to be a catch. (reply to this comment)

from Wait! Tuesday, September 05, 2006 - 10:06 (Agree/Disagree?) Read this... http://www.metanoia.org/suicide/ (reply to this comment)

From ace Tuesday, September 05, 2006, 15:08 (Agree/Disagree?) what a great site!(reply to this comment)

From vixen Wednesday, September 06, 2006, 15:05 (Agree/Disagree?) You think so? I found it horribly patronising and just the sort of thing I would NOT want to read in a time of crisis. (reply to this comment)

From vixen Wednesday, September 06, 2006, 15:15 (Agree/Disagree?) Eh, I'll revise that statement: Some of the secondary pages are quite good, I just didn't like the tone of the main page. (reply to this comment)

from a friend Monday, September 04, 2006 - 19:34 (Agree/Disagree?) Before you do anything silly try antidepressants. They really can change your outlook and give you the tools to fight your depression. What have you got to lose? (reply to this comment)

From Ken Maret Monday, December 04, 2006, 05:49 (Agree/Disagree?) I never tried anti-depressants myself, but I did try a range of other things including counseling, smoking, alcohol, drugs, screwing anything that moved etc. What ultimately helped me was hypnotherapy, which is unusual because I'm the biggest skeptic in the world and would never have even considered it had I not been really desperate. The therapists take was “your experience is so outside the realm of normality that I can’t treat you directly, but I’ll teach you how to treat yourself”. It was a relief to finally find someone who wasn’t patronizing and didn’t try to pigeonhole my experience. The positive results were almost instantaneous. Mike, if you haven’t tried everything there is to try then there’s still hope that whatever works best for you personally is still out there somewhere and that one day you will find it. Hang in there man…it does eventually get better. (reply to this comment)

from Monday, September 04, 2006 - 18:22 (Agree/Disagree?) I hear you....I too have felt this way on many an occasion. What I think makes for interesting debate is the possibility of reincarnation...it would make a lot of sense to this chaotic mess we call life. (reply to this comment)

From loch Tuesday, September 05, 2006, 14:42 (Agree/Disagree?) If I wake up reincarnated, I'm going to scream my guts out. I do not want to have to live again. What I have figured out is that the way to get through this life, is to have something to live for, in my case, it's my kids, and even stupid things like my art, photography. Things always get better. Try not to dwell on it. Muah!(reply to this comment)
