I posted in the something bothering you thread that I was going to take my own life a few days ago.

Well I didnt.

I had a long talk with some of my friends about how I was feeling and realised that I just have to forget about being exceptional or whats happening in the world because I cant change it.

Im gonna just enjoy everything for what it is and if **** happens I cant do anything about it so there is no point in worrying.

Goldshadow needs to be thanked,his words made me go and think......alot.

One of my old teachers had this attitude too, if its out of your hands why worry about it?

And at times she seemed like one of the most rational people I've known

Thanks everybody.I really do feel soooooooo much better now.

I was wrecking my brain overthinking loads of things and now like I said I realise that I have to go with the flow and just live live for every precious moment.

If you want mods you can close this now.I was going to post in the "something bothering you?" thread but it was closed at the time.

No.

Smashboards is a group of people who have most likely never met eachother. It is not a place to be announcing suicides. Friends, family, and councellors are the people to announce such plans to.

I don't quite understand suicidal tendencies though. I have an irrational sense of self-confidence such that it is impossible for anything to get me to question my own self value, and I know that there are things I still want to do. In many cases very trivial things mind you, movies to watch and video games to play, and in other cases less trivial, like marriage and graduation.

Man I feel like I'm following you:

Wrong. If you are having suicidal feelings, you should reach out to anyone possible. Sometimes people reach out online because they don't want to admit to these feelings and talk to people they know about it. It's effing tough talking to people IRL about these things. Is talking online a healthier alternative? More than likely it is not. But it sounds like Pika's post ended up stopping him from making a terrible mistake. A community is only as strong as it's members allow themselves to be. Some of my greatest friends are people I've never met offline but talk to on here.

Are suicidal posts inappropriate? Probably not. But I'm glad for once it ended up helping a person.

This is nothing but the truth and nearly exactly what I was thinking.I found it easy to say how I was feeling here rather than to my friends faces because no one here is emotionally attached to me.(Yet ;))

Also because I knew people would give me non bias,logical and unemotional responses.If I straight off the bat said something to my friends or family,they would get emotional aswell as try to save my feelings which isint going to get anywhere.

BTW God didi AKA Padraig Lalor,the jig is up,I know its you.Dont judge me im an unhappy man and im sure in your heart and head you knew this yourself.

Suicide, like most emotional issues, is irrational and illogical. By nature, all humans have a need for self-preservation, but with people with mental illnesses, they are chemically deprived/****ed up, and it causes them to see no logical exit other than death. I've had a friend contemplate suicide, and he described it just like that: no way out other than death.

Even in the darkest of times, Suicide should never be the answer.

Glad you're doing okay. When you hit rock bottom there's no way to go, but up.

It's cool now.

Ive decided instead of telling myself I cant do things,that I can do anything if I really want it.

Im going to college in September and I feel kinda good about life again.

Once again if a mod wants to close this feel free.Ive said my piece.

It's a great thing you did that.

If you need more inspiration, here are some lyrics that may help: http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858563587/

Not all of it has to do with your situation, but there are some lines in here that changed the way I look at life. For a while I've believed that life was a test, and those who are strong enough to face the world and change it for the better pass. Those who give in and decide life is pointless fail.
