Suicide by cop -- how to deal with it

Why idiots insist upon such violent suicides is beyond me. Carbon Monoxide in a tank, equipped with a tight face mask, in a well ventilated area so the gas doesn't kill those who find you [send a letter to the authorities where to find you before the act], and your exit from this world will be smooth and peaceful, the remains will be easy for the finders to deal with [much nicer than severed limbs and mince] and planet Earth will be free of one more twit.

Okay, tell me exactly where to order that stuff. Send me email or IM.

What are the odds of failure? I am not interested in ending up in a nursing home as a vegetable. Guns for example, have a failure rate that is way to hard. Nobody gets whacked full on by a train going full tilt and survives. Mincemeat is exactly the effect I am looking for here mojo.

Someone might care. I have no idea who, but it's possible.

Yeah you are probably right. Suicide is crazy, no debate about it. It's just that when you are, well, it simply keeps popping up on the "to do" list.

Anyway, the point, going back to the begining of the thread, is that when a relatively young person is suicidal it is worthwhile to try to help them because often they can get better and have some good years. It's only when a person gets into their third or fourth period of major depression that their odds of having any significant hope of quality of life begins to approach zero. At this point, I think state-assisted suicide would be appropriate. I know that if I had that option, and if it included some help getting my personal affairs in order ) a seemingly insurmountable task), I would sign up and I would think it a fair payment for the state to have my estate as a fee.

This is probably how things will be done in the future.

One of the first things they suppress are feelings of guilt, which are sometimes all that's keeping somebody from offing themselves.

Which is a damn shame, because each and every single one of us is guilty. The instant you breathe air, you go from being a virgin innocent to a guilty, abominable sinner.

When I get to the end of the road, I'll probably go for simply stepping in front of a train. Little to no chance of messing that one up. Very little chance of anyone else getting hurt. .

In LA a guy thought the same thing and the train ended up being derailed and 200 people were injured. I forgot how many killed. Dizle, you know they have dozens of different medications for people with severe depression but not all of them work for each person. If one combination doesn't work for you then you just need to keep trying until you find the right combination for your body. A good doctor can help you and I hope you seek one out.

Edit: Even if you don't want to try medications or medication hasn't worked for you in the past there are a number of different combinations available. My cousin is depressive and he had to try almost a half dozen different combinations before he and his doctor found the right ones for him.

Yeah, well, I'll have to find a better method to deal with the problem.

What kind of counselling have you had?

Only thing left to consider is electroshock therapy. I dunno. Genetically speaking, on my father's side I have over 60% of the last two generations ending in suicide, attempted suicide, mental disability or permanent institutionalization. Probably just going to have to deal with it.

And your mother's side?

Nor for me at first but I managed to get it with a program called GetASFStream.

Thought the cops did a good job. A little messy and alot of playing around though. Maybe they didn't have tasers and beanbag guns so they just improvised.

crazy canadians.

you don't see this kind of thing in the U.S. (relating to the second burning man story)

on a related note: since Asher changed the subject from suicide by cop to plain ole' suicide (which are 2 different beast imho), they are finally putting up a suicide barrier on the Golden Gate bridge. After all these years.

But as these videos show people like to committ suicide in a very public fashion.

but get this, just last week a guy committed suicide at Hoover Dam just outside my city, and no one noticed. He probably wasn't expecting that. I don't think he was found until the next day.

Has there been anything that has ever made you happy?

Why stand in front of a train and ruin the day for hundreds when you can give your organs to people who want to live? Give 1 kidney away first and see how happy you make an individual or family. If you still feel worthless there are many in need of organs who want to live and dying alone makes the organs useless.

Personally, I would just keep starting over simply to try different things/places, but that's me.

I find it very interesting of the amount of people in here that have talked about suicide. I have been posting for a little over 2 months now and have heard at least half ion here think about this on a daily basis. Ya know most people do just as the guy said kiss ass to try and change your mind then move on however that doesnt mean that all of them were not sincere with their words. I personaly am afraid of suicide Hell it sounds painful, Id rather drag my ass out of bed and lead what life I have left. Course if i ever tried it(not that I would) id would be one that lived and now had deformities from the attempt.
