I read about a college student that committed suicide in front of a live Web cam by taking a drug overdose. Some of the users should be ashamed of themselves, because they were sitting there egging the college student on. This is horrible. There are even some Internet sites that give details on the most effective ways to commit suicide. I can assure you that you are not going to find any of that rubbish on Allwomenstalk.

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

When you talk about attempting suicide, I relate to that very well.You know sometimes you are in a spot in life where you feel like, you know what,I think for me it ends here. I can't take it anymore, and believe me when you're in that situation you forget about your loved one's and everyone else. It's only you and the big wall(problem)in front of you. Most of the time the way out is not easy,depending on how you look at it.Being judgemental helps no-one,and at times putting yourself in the other person's shoes can change your perspective of the situation. Personally, I feel that suicide is not the answer to any trial you are going through, it is actually not the answer whatsoever. If you are finding it hard,reach out to people around you, talk to people,talk to strangers even. In the taxi, bank queues.You get relieved when you talk about what's bothering you. Suicide is not the answer!!!

I am one lost soul. I am overwhelmed and have been that way for decades. I am not young anymore. My therapist and all the therapists I have had in my life have not helped. My hospitalizations have not helped. Programs have not helped. Hobbies have not helped. Medications have not helped. And I find all that I have just read above, and no offense to any of you as you are probably very caring people.... but I find what you have written very simplistic. You don't know me. You don't know what I'm going through. I want to die and I am afraid to do so.... never-the-less, I desperately want to. I have no friends at this point, no family and no money. I also have medical problems and physical pain. And you want to know the worst thing of all? I have, at this very moment, absolutely no one to talk to right now.
