Not recently but I've thought about it. I'm way too chicken to actually try it. OTOH, if I didn't wake up tomorrow it wouldn't make any difference. I'm just hanging around, waiting for the end.

No. Never have been. Thought about it only once. If I hadn't truly THOUGHT about it, I probably would have done it. I didn't though, because it was the thinking that made me realize that suicide is the single most self-centered, selfish act there is. It hurts a lot of people left behind, and dumps all the problems you didn't manage to take care of on them. And if you think you did take care of them all, trust me, you didn't.

Don't bother lecturing me for my view on this point. Like I said, I actually THOUGHT about it. And I got to experience it second hand through someone who thought they had settled all their affairs. It's not possible. There is always a mess left behind, and somebody has to deal with it. I got to be that one. So I realized it by just thinking about it, and chose not to because of thinking about it, then got to live the proof because someone else didn't think enough about others besides their self.

I would never do that to anyone. No one left behind deserves it. You want to know the real irony? The person who did it to me was one of the people I thought of when I decided not to. Nice, huh?

Yeah i know it is ridiculous.It's like 99% percent of the population don't have depression and we happened to be in to the almost non existent percentage?

Depression is more common than most people imagine. 10% of the US population report having depression. Worldwide, suicide is one of the leading causes of death among young people.

I would never end my life, because I feel it would be a shame. I think of my relatives, friends, acquaintances, and most of all, my parents. My parents trust me I'll lead a normal life. I think sometimes they expect me to do more than I actually can, and it can be depressing.

Currently I'm going through a harder period in my life, and I find it very difficult to not come up with suicidal thoughts too often. My worst nightmares are those in which I feel worthless and totally inept, lost in the jungle of intricacies of life. One of the reasons I keep my interests up, they soothe me. Besides, I do whatever I have to do to hold down a job, and I'm trying to do everything it takes to get better at relationships with the other gender.

Eventually, it's me who have to solve my problems, everyone else can only help with it, for which I'm always grateful.

My life is not very normal at all....though I don't think having a normal life is a cure for feeling suicidal.

well I know, the point was more having a normal life does not nessisarly prevent someone from feeling suicidal.

10% report having depression. :roll:

Everyone gets depressed. That's a fact.

It may be at varying intensities, but people still get depressed.

I don't care who you are.

Edit: You meant 100%

Only if you use the word 'depressed' to refer to 'feeling low'. In the same way that some people say 'starving' when they mean 'hungry'.

If you use the word depressed to refer to the mental illness, then no, not everyone gets depressed.

no. i know what depression is. lived with it most of my life in one form or another, disinterest in things and a desperate yearning for something that i dont even know what it is ever since i can remember myself. but no, i have nieces i'm crazy about. i love just being outside and watching trees move in the wind. there a dozens of feral cats here leaping at you from the garbage cans (middle class neigborhood.) if i ever make enough money i want to open a mini cats shelter and i can't do it if i'm dead. who's going to open the shelter, my ghost?

Yes but not everyone experiances Major Depressive Disorder.....feeling depressed because your cat died for instance is not the same thing as suffering from the psychological disorder Major Depression, that is a natural response to something.
