Suicide Attempts
Posted: 08-08-04 01:08am

I've tried to kill myself several times. I've tried drowning myself several times in my bathtub. Drowning would be an awful way to die. I've had a hunting rifle pointed to my head twice, but I wasn't able to pull the trigger. I think if I knew the combination to our safe. I would be dead now (probably at age 13). When I was a softmore in high school I started getting help and started taking anti-depressants, but things got worse. I tried killing myself with aspirin, but ended up damaging my liver badly. Killing yourself with aspirin can do lots of damage to your liver and probably won't kill you. I started taking barbiturates for anxiety, but I think it got me more depressed. I tried killing myself with about 60mg of alprazolam. My dad said that it would've taken 4 days to die if I was left untreated, but now I don't believe him. I wasn't sure what my doctor told my dad, because I was sleeping. About 3 years later I tried killing myself again with 600mg of valium and 400mg of valium the next day with alcohol. The highest dose that my doctor has put me on was 25mg of valium. I know this is hard to believe, but I never went to the hospital and the only side effect that I noticed was blurred vision. I should’ve had more side effects and I could’ve died. I drove to work those 2 days and I should’ve called in sick, because I couldn't see that well and was probably making lots of errors. A few days later I tried to kill myself with 3000mg of trazodone (a sleeping medication). What probably saved my life was that I took too much trazodone. Which made me vomit. For males I would not recommend overdosing on trazodone. It can cause a painful erection and may require surgery. When I overdosed on trazodone I started to feel better and didn't want to die, because it's also an anti-depressant. I also had a hell of a time falling asleep. A week later I tried to kill myself another way, but i'm going to keep it a secret. It's been 4 months since the last time I tried killing myself, but i'm not planning on trying to kill myself again. I feel a little better now.

That 's been watching out for you. But, it won 't keep on ... And on ... And on ... It won 't last forever. It can 't . So, we need to address the issue and get you some help . We can 't turn everything over to god . You are in a partenership with him . You must give foot to your prayers . Moses din 't part the red sea until he took the first step . You can 't get better until you yourself makes tht decision ... Nothing will happen .

I am sorry that you obviously feel so helpless. You really need to get some help. Seriously, it can/will get better if you help/let it. If you keep up all of these attempts then when the day comes that you want to live your body may not let you. Take care of yourself.

I Am Getting Help.

I was getting help and taking an anti-depressant before my first sucide attempt. I'm seeing a counselor every 2 week and a psychiatric doctor every month.

I'm Feeling Better For Now.

It's only been 3 1/2 months since i've been feeling better. It's also been 3 1/2 months since i've been off of valium.
I'm pretty sure that valium caused my last attempt, because I can't think of anything else. I'm pretty i'll want to kill myself again, but this time I might not be so lucky. I might end up shooting myself in the head with a shotgun. I'm going to try to wait a while though. Hopefully there will be newer medications for social phobia and depression in the future which might prevent me from shooting myself.

Well if you are "getting help" as you stated and are still feeling like this then you really need to get different help, or speed things along! Yes, feeling like that really sucks, but killing yourself isn't going to do anyone any good. I know someone whom I was pretty close with who shot himself and let me tell you what, you are not doing anyone any good. Think of how you feel.....You don't want anyone else to feel like that do you? Didn't think so. Then you cannot kill yourself because in doing so you will inflict horrible pain on others.
Talk to you counselor and work this out. There is help! Life is worth living!

Well, being as your "ideas" didn't work I doubt anyone is going to try them.
