What is the best way to kill yourself?

I don't know your life story and don't want to know but before you finally do yourself in I would advise you to speak to a professional therapist. Medication may be a good option in conjunction with therapy.

If that doesn't work and you really want to do yourself in I would try to find a handgun and well...I'll let you finish that.

A Senior in high school and thinking these thoughts? I have no idea what you are going through, but death is not the answer! Finish school and then go into the military or get on a bus and start life far away from where you are now. Go to the police, school counselors, the hospital. Remember, death is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Life will get better in time, try and rebuild yourself and then you can help others that may be in your situation. You only have one chance at life, don't waste it, no one is a waste of resources. Think of the possible future, marriage, kids, grandkids, etc. You were put here for a reason and it wasn't to take your own life. Be strong and try and look to the future.

First of all.. if things are that bad.. stop choosing to be a victim and get the hell out of there. There is ALWAYS somewhere better you can go. And there WILL BE SOMEONE who will take you in.

You are NOT a waste of resources, because it hasn't been your fault that you are in those situations. And you are far from the only person who has gone through terrible things. You will go on to lead a happy, normal life, believe it or not.

Run away if you have to. Go online and look for rooms to rent in a nearby city. Tell them you are in a situation where you are being abused and ask for a month of free rent. I don't think anyone will say no.

Or put out an add in that city. Say you need a free room for a month, due to your circumstances, and see if anyone lets you stay with them.

Then when you get there. Enroll yourself in school and go get a job so you can pay for your room.

It won't be easy, but its sure as hell a lot easier than that pain of jumping out a 3rd story window, only to break your leg.

Starving yourself will take about 3 weeks to kill you. Jumping from 3 stories might only break your legs and wrist cutting might only work if no one finds you for at least 3 hours, and if the cuts are deep enough. Honestly, shooting yourself in the occipital lobe of the brain is your best bet. Either that or self immolation (drink gasoline then light a match). Or you could stop feeling sorry for yourself, get off the internet and get some help.

You're still alive for a reason. Go to a therapist. Stop with the hopeless thoughts and quit giving a **** what people think. People are horrible and people are beautiful. You've been exposed to too many bad people and you need to distance yourself from them. But if that hell **** is real you KNOW you don't wanna go there. Anyone's life can be turned around.

Hey Spenc,

I don't know what happens once a person is dead. No one ever managed to come back from dead to tell us. I have had a read through your options and reasons for thinking on the lines of ending your life. I cannot say that I know how you might be feeling but what I can say is that I have had thoughts about ending my life many years ago.

Things were tough, I was homeless and didn't have any friends that I could turn to. I came close to mental breakdown and ways to end my life. I had skills and education to get a job but didn't have resources to get a job. While sitting in a park, a lady came and sat near me. She was eating a sandwich and probably heard my tummy rumbling. She offered me half her sandwich and while talking, she offered me free counselling sessions and help to get a place and financial help to get me on my feet. 2 years later, I was on my feet, had a job, place to live and friends.

You have gone through some really **** time. I don't know how old you are but what I do know is that you are very intelligent person. I am basing that on the fact of different methods you have mentioned on here and given some explanations to what would be or wouldn't be possible. I looked at your profile and it seems that you are into your games. I don't know anything about Xbox and Wii box. My days were Atari and pac man was the most popular game among my class mates.

Spenc, my counsellor once said to me that every time I have a thought of ending my life, to give myself 24hrs. I am happy to listen to you if you are looking for someone to talk to. There are different organisations who are available 24/7 that you can speak to. Just google them. If you want to talk to me, email me and I be happy to give you my skype id.

If you are not in the mood to talk, give yourself 24hrs or call anonymously to one of the counselling services.

Take care of yourself and don't let the bastards win who have ruined your life. What they cannot take away from you is your experience of life which makes you million times better person then them.

Sweetie, if you really wanted to be dead, you would be. You've attempted suicide but it never worked because you don't truly, deeply want to die. The fact that you're still here means you want to live.

I hate to pull the selfish card, because I do not fully believe in it, but I will. I know you feel like you're being selfless and doing a favor to the people around you, but you really aren't. I understand that what you feel is reality for you, and you honestly feel like you'd be better off dead. But trust me, please, everyone is better alive than not. Taking your life will hurt people. It will do damage you couldn't even imagine. Think about your teachers, your peers, your family. I can guarantee you that your teachers will be crying if you die. I know because a kid who graduated from my school committed suicide recently, and not one teacher had dry eyes when they found out, even though many of them had never met the kid.

What I'm saying is, please hold on. At least make it to college. You will find people who love you in college. You will find friends and opportunity and freedom. Please don't die. I will be distraught, and I'm sure your whole community will be too.

Open your eyes, and realize what your about to throw away. Once you die, you're never going to get a chance to experience happiness again. If you walk away from the thoughts you're having, you can get out of this mess. You are the one tying yourself to your past. You really want a way out? Let go. And start living your life.

Your life is a painful one. You wish to escape the pain of your life.

Endure the pain. Learn to live with the pain. Be strong.

Dying is easy. It's the living that's hard.

Begin your recovery now, and then share what you learn with people like yourself. If you are dead, those like yourself will not have you to help them learn to find pleasure in living.

Powerlessness is obviously an issue you need to look at. You need to get away from anyone who uses or abuses you (even if you end up with no-one) and look into your boundary issues. Don't waste your life, you can end it when you are old and have cancer/parkinsons/alzheimers etc.
