killing urself and writing a suicide note in game forum

There are no fool proof methods of committing suicide- hospital emergency admissions and long term care wards in nursing homes have the unlovely responsibility of dealing with the paraplegics, the brain damaged and the severely burnt who all thought to end it, but didn't.

Even the leap in front of an underground train isn't a sure method, as drivers on the underground could tell you.

You may think your life is in the pits, but minus an arm and the use of both legs, you might have a fair few more years to contemplate in detail and discomfort how much better your life was, before you tried jumping in front of the District Line train at St James's Park.

It's also an incredibly thoughtless and inconsiderate method- what on earth had the driver or the commuters done to deserve seeing limbs or intestines spread along the track?

I know what you were saying, but my point is, in such a situation, how many people are going to be rational enough to put themselves in their ex's shoes?

I actually knew of an extreme case of this in high school. The guy was a senior-to-be tailback on our football team (I was an 8th grade offensive lineman, but we only had 30 or so players, so we all knew each other). His girlfriend was a senior-to-be I'd known all my life, who had a sister in my class. Anyway, she was breaking up with him, and the two of them went to his house one day, presumably to discuss things. He put a shotgun to his chest right in front of her and pulled the trigger. He died in the hospital about 3 hours later.

Especially exes.

Think about how they feel if you commit suicide, particularly if it is not too long after you have broken up with them.

I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

I'm not longer in contact with my exes. not that there are that many, but there are a few. And one of my exes died in a car wreck.

As have I...

But flip it around. Would you want to be the one who initiates the breakup and then have your ex commit suicide.

Well, some of us can speak from real, first-hand experience with this.

so you're telling me a jump off the wor... I mean the Empire State building will not kill me? Or the Sears tower? Or even closer, the Mandalay Bay hotel.

[Aeson]

You'll probably die... but it's still not a sure thing. The world record for surviving a fall without a parachute is 10000m!

[Ben Kenobi]

It has to do with air resistance.

After a certain point, you reach terminal velocity.

Yep.

I had you in mind.

[MrFun]

So you presume to speak for me on something like this?

[Ben Kenobi]

No...

I don't know what it's like, other than from what you've told me. But your experiences reminded me of the point, that's all.

[MrFun]

okay

People have been blown in through windows after jumping off tall buildings. Result? Severe cuts, lacerations, paraplegia, broken bones, but not death.

An air steward holds the world record for surviving the longest fall sans parachute from an aeroplane.

Lupe Velez's is a cautionary tale:

Reminds me of the Rolling Stones' song-

'You can't always get what you want,

But sometimes, you get what you need.'

You're confusing intent with outcome.

And second hand, a good friend of mine's recent ex just killed himself the other month. :/

Wasn't you, it was someone else at Diego PolyMeet.

[Barinthus]

Whether if he did it or not, the sister made a good point.

Be considerable, if you're going to kill yourself, make sure that somebody else other than your family or friends will be the one who get to find your body.

Heck, the act itself isn't considerable in the first place.
