Suicide attempt survivor shares his story on dealing with mental illness

If a person ever contacts them for themself or child abuse a persons life can become a living hell- Heard it goes to a computer first now Hang your hat on something you cherish or repeat your military number or practice saying the alphabet backwards 🙆‍♂️Just Stretch like the dancer on the Ellen Degeneres Show

Thanks for sharing. Guess why I'm here watching this video? Lol
I relate so hard.
God bless you.
If you ever want to reach out in a time of need....please do.

I told 3 "friends" I want to die, and they all said something dismissive like "don't say that" ok I won't say it, but I'll still think it and then probably, hopefully act on it. Sad thing is one friend is a nurse and the other in a Psy D grad program to be therapist.

Thank you for sharing. You are loved! We are in this together.

You have a home and family and friends and even a girlfriend.

Glad you are here.

Wish I had those things in my life

You need to stop with to confirmation pop ups sometimes people just need to know it's okay, and what you are doing is very disruptive, because if they find this the pop up is an automatic turn off, like adds. If your gonna help then help, if not don't bother.

I’m contemplating taking my own life. I’m tired of being depressed and alone. Nobody wants to be around a depressed person.

Im coming up on the 20th anniversary of my second chance. 17-03-2004.
Im so glad i made it now. It took a few more years to calm the PTSD and anxiety and i wished i was dead a few more times but never acted on it. It takes time to be comfortable with your mental illnesses. Getting older and wiser helped.

People are only human.

Kudos to both of you guys for having the strength to bare your souls and to address this issue. There are so many people struggling to stay alive every day and it's heartbreaking to know there is so much pain out there. Being born into chaos as you said has to be the hardest thing imaginable. Kids need parents to guide them thru their lives. They need strong family to help them out, not chaos.

I deal with depression (two types in my life) and now doing very well and it's seemingly gone. But I have metastatic breast cancer and it's not a picnic. I'm doing ok for right now but not sure about the future.

Life sucks for many and it is a struggle for most. Again, thank you for sharing your stories and for being gutsy and brave enough to talk about something so painful.

I spent the period of sobriety with the roof of my.mouth cut and sore from a gun muzzle

Do they have a suicide help group?

After losing my husband to suicide ...i was imediatly traumatized with tnoughts of ..i should of cut the rope instead of trying to hold up his body from 2nd story drop..if only i did this or that?. After his organs were harvested and police were there with me bedside to my deceased husband ..i went over my thoughts of i could of done things diferent to maybe save my husband. The police officer said something that helped me recover from tbis constant feeling of despare and guilt ..she said" yes maybe ..if you cut him down?msybe he would be alive in a vegitated state "? But, at the end of the day "he is where he wanted to be"..tbat comment saved my sanity .

Every single person who has lived through a Suicide Attempt says the same thing. " I just wanted the pain to stop". Depression is the worst sentence a person can be given.

Kinda like my sister when i was suicidal and felt so alone. She just happened to call and I broke down and told her how I was feeling and she just started degrading me. I hung up on her and haven't talked to her since.

May God help you to be fine with your lovely dog

i feel like there are two selves waging war in my mind - 1) telling me i am a useless piece of S%*# and i should kill myself and 2) that i should live //but i don't have ANY purpose now, nor desire purpose anymore

It’s not something you’re born with it just happens it’s good that people coming forward to talk about the stories and what happened to them I’m so glad that they’re alive and well and getting better

I 🤬 I don't have mentally illness but I have been suffering from an incurable disease for more than 30 years and now become worsen I always pray to God but now I don't believe in the existence of God because...I am going to commit suicide🥵

There are a lot of people out there who won't validate your pain and suffering when you say you struggle with mental health issues.
People need to find resources and others who truly understand what they are going through ❤

I came very very close to dying (30 years ago)... and since then I cannot say I am "happy" to have survived... yet most people would consider I have a very very good life by many observable external measures - with all the things and experiences most people would wish for... I can see that there are many reasons why people would choose suicide. Mentally ill ?,,,, that is a sort of "get out" for society, as very often it is "society" that does the damage - the so say professional mental health services "job" is to find something wrong with you. For many people this is a huge con when most often the fault is with the broken society. Depressed ? no, I don't have a low mood, can get enjoyment out of all kinds of things. But intellectually, I know most people are a pile of shit.. self-centered even when they pretend to be otherwise. It is very much western religious attitudes as to why suicide is seen as bad. Even the psychologist I used to see agreed that suicide was a very rational choice for me. So, the bigger point is "why does anything matter" ?.. life is just about trying to get more pleasure out of life that misery, and if the balance is tipped to the misery side with no prospects of it ever changing, then why is suicide such a bad option.. - the sort of debate I never lose... "suicide prevention" - what a load of BS.. this is all about considering who might be left behind, never the person is distress - how pathetic, sick and hypocritical are such shit people... if you really wanted to do something positive, the answer is in reforming society...

We survivors just keep tredging along. Left behind to pick up and pretend that we are all right

When you are born into trauma ..you dont know any different. No truer words.

It won't let me watch

I feel sorry for anyone and everyone whos mind takes them into such a dark lonely hopeless place... This is what Satan wants everybody to do because he wants everybody in hell

Thank you so much for sharing your story of survival after trauma.

Thankyou for this video. You are valuable, so glad you survived.

Thanks

Jesus saves me from myself, now I live for God. Life is hard but I know life is like a school and I’m looking forward for my reward in heaven.

It sucks knowing only I can fix myself. Fuck man I'm tired and don't have enegery or motivation to fix me.

i wish i could speak with this guy... would maybe save me in so many ways

🙏🙏😥😥🙏🙏

"suicide attempt survivor" is a funny way of saying "failure" but OK

😂childhood trauma is real and parents who raise children pass on so much pain without knowing it..please be kind and don’t judge people

I am so glad that you are alive. I absolutely love your dog. Please take care.

I'm struggling so much, I wish I could find the strength this man has.

I would gladly hire someone to murder me that way my parents wouldnt wrongfully blame themselves . that would be my first option

I understand completely same thing I deal with. Urges with thoughts is one evil mix I deal with. Hope everyone battles through and one day we can all find a way to happiness completely

If you want some self help for PTSD/depression, I would recommend an Alpha Stim unit( made in Texas). It is a small (cigarette pack size) electronic unit that produces alpha waves. Ear clips push the waves through your brain. Much stronger than meditating and much more effective. I have used one for 6 years now, when things are really tough. It works with just electricity. No drugs or help needed. I understand these are available in Europe too. I have had no suicide attempts since using it. It can get me up to level ground, when nothing else helps.

so true. If you're born in to truama you think it's normal. it's normal to suppress how you feel, normal to be in dysfunction, normal to have an unstable family. Life it doesn't matter how much money you, how smart you, how 'normal' you may seem, how good looking you are or whatever else, The stuff that happens behind close doors and the stuff that happens in the mind it's very hard to heal from. people who don't deal with it have NO CLUE what it's like. People say be grateful. People are grateful but the thing is many of us just want to be mentally healthy and it's hard. Because many are cold to those who are different and are extremely judgy

My name is Donna Williams. Four years ago on July 20,2018 I had been in a psychiatric crisis for about 1 month. My therapist tried to get me to go into a Psychiatric hospital for testing but I refused. On July 20th I went through something horrible and my mind could not handle it. I was a victim of sexual assault and was pushed into suicidal state. My mind was in another world and I had no idea what I was doing. I took 20 sixty milligram prescription morphine that belonged to my roommate. I was dead within 5 minutes and within 5 minutes after the 911 call went out they were at my house. I was dead when they got there and died 5 more times at the hospital. after the 4th time the doctors told my friend that if my heart stopped again they would have to let me go. My heart stopped again and there were no life saving measures given but GOD HAD DIFFERENT PLANS !!HALEUIA!! It took e about 8 months to recover and I have grown so much from. I used to think that suicide was very self-centered but that is not always true although some people may do it for attention. I would not have taken those pills if those men had not done that to me. I would love to speak to people the horrors of a suicide attempt and how it can affect your life and the people who love you. On July 20 , 2018 I took those pills at about 1:00AM and on July 20,2022 at about 1:00 am I will be on my way to the airport to fly out to AFRICA as a short term missionary with people from my church.!!! PRAISE GOD!!!

Its time to legalise eutanasia

3 years ago I tried to kîll myself...
Obviously, I failed... I've been depressed since 2005... I'm so tired... I "cope" with overworking and sleep... My life has no love, or meaning... I just exist 🥺

It’s a mortal sin to have pride and god will hate you for it

Yeah the word chaos hit me really hard. I relate man.

More common than you think. I've seen a few recent posts where people are crying out for help and state they want to just end it all. This is what I told my own subscribers. Four reasons you don't end it. 1) things can change. The caveat here is you have to make them change and that takes work. 2) You will regret it. They interviewed a man who managed to jump the San Francisco Bridge and didn't even break a bone. He said the last thought he had as he stepped off----he knew it was a huge mistake. 3) You will hurt those you leave behind. How many wish the one they knew who killed themselves had come to them first? 4) It is a slap in the face to all those who didn't want to die early and did--whether disease or event.
Folks, I have felt like this twice in my life and both times years later I was glad I put that thought away as I would not have experienced all the things I did. The answer isn't to end your life--it is to fix your life. Now go be GREAT-----Charles.

You’re NEVER a burden you’re AMAZING xx

You 2 guys are amazing wishing you both peace, love and happiness from the UK. 🕊🕊🕊
