I will definitely check out your Myspace and add you.

I was once suicidal, and I know a few people who've been suicidal and/or depressed. It was the worst time of my life, probably because I barely had anyone to talk to about it that I trusted enough to. A lot of bad things happened to me at once back then, and then more came after that. I was depressed for over a year, but now I'm way better than I was. I still have my days, but it's not nearly as bad as it was back then.

According to my mom, my grandfather committed suicide, but she always told me it was a heart attack until a few months ago. It's one of those things that are quite shocking to believe and that you aren't sure if you truly believe them or not.

I hate it when people joke about suicide. Suicide is a VERY serious thing and should be taken serious at least 98% of the time. People who joke about it truly do not understand what they're joking about.

aw, I agree.

hey, angela, hope you don't mind me asking, but were you 14 when you felt suicidal?

Because I've come up with this theory that everyone goes through a suicidal phase at 14 yrs old.
Seriously though, I contemplated suicide when I was 14, and so did my friends that I asked. I think this could help maybe, in preventing suicide, because suicidal 14 year olds may feel more hope if they realise that everyone has gone through this and they're going to get out of it too.

just a thought.

I was either thirteen or fourteen when it began, and I was fifteen, the age I am now, the last time I felt suicidal when I was depressed.
