Haha, those grizzly hicks still knockin about today? makes me think of the film Raising Arizona.

being totally alone in the world could do it, pull the tarot card "Death" into my thoughts and I'd probably take the Intercity train route out, for the sureity. Do you know what it is to long for what has passed without promise of its return? It'd be that feeling intensified leading up.

With a gun, the suicide act wouldn't be no big deal. All the pre-meditation and stewing could be bypassed and you could just go out on a whim with a click. Stupid eh?
A few thoughts there. Anyway, happy-happy joy-joy......

The death card can mean a good change is coming your way, it doesn't have to mean actual death.

To answer the question, if my little girl passed away I would not be able to go on. In fact the thought makes me a little hysterical.

I think that the breaking point for me would be degrees...bodily injury may not be enough, there are many people that live rich wonderful lives with a body that is not whole.

However if I was a burden on others because of some fatal illness or disease, I think I would try to release my self before I became a hateful/hated version of my former self. I don't know how bitter I would be if truly tested by a debilitating disease or sickness. I would do it peacefully - not want to create a guilt splash.

l do not have children, nor will I ever - so I can't contemplate the pain of losing a child.

I have lost a soul mate before, and the pain was terrible - but through it all my SELF kept me going...I even incorporated his personality (to a small degree) into my own to create a stronger ME.
but at first I wanted to die. I am glad I didn't do something foolish.

I think if I lost my sense of self...knew that I was different and couldn't swim back to my true identity...I think that might be one of the degrees to which I would contemplate suicide.

this was a very interesting question.

ok, i'm kinda curious as to what would be your point where you decide that life is not worth living, where you decide that you have to much on your hands to cope with or for that fact to little.

for everyone who wants to reply i'd like them to list the things that would push them to either not care for themselves and let themselves go or commit suicide.

and yes, that's right genie is back with more twisted and dark thoughts on her mind!

im almost there. i'll let you know what finally pushes me over b4 i paint the walls red.

The new CC music had me contemplating suicide for a second, but then I thought wait a minute he's the one sucking not me, why should I have to be shot?

If I run out of milk when I feel like eating cereal. That's something I just can't cope with.

there was that woman who passed away last month that was in an iron lung for 60-something years? maybe something like that would test my resolve to live. otherwise, i got too much to live for, too many people in my life that i love and want to be with....whatever comes along, i'll just deal with it.

difficult question.......but i would like to think to myself that, i am going to milk every last bit of life out of this one. of course, if a machine is keeping me alive, i do not want that.
again, really difficult question. i will not know, until the time comes. it is easy to say what i just said because of my current condition. which is healthy.

I don't think anyone really knows until they are in a situation how much they can take. But I do know, as someone intimately familiar with the effects that suicide has on those left behind, I wouldn't subject my children to those effects.

On a lighter note, it's "y'all" not "ya'll", as it is a contraction of "you" and "all."

leave it to someone from tennesse to correct "ya'll".......do not kid yourself, i know how seriously "ya'll" defend this phrase. my relatives live in the "holler".
