When I am Depressed
    #15756318 - 02/03/12 02:01 PM (3 months, 23 days ago)

My mood fluctuates quite a bit, with it probably leaning towards happy most of the time. I often wonder if I am manic depressive, as I am usually pretty damn happy and talkative or extremely depressed. To get to the point, when I am in a depressed mood, suicide is almost all I think about. I constantly think about just peacefully ending the unpleasant feeling I currently feel, especially with the knowledge of how easily and painlessly I could do it. Do any of you share this almost obsessive pondering of suicide?

When I'm depressed,
I think to myself "I'm glad I managed to cheer myself up a bit":sad:

as for manic depression, are you sure you're not just depressed, but acting happy around others ? I've done that before.

I have a mandatory three-day waiting period on any serious suicide plans. Works like a charm. Why don't you add it to your operating manual. I'd miss you around here if you were gone. :heart:

Wanna hear something depressing? One out of four Shroomerites wants to lock me in a government cage for using a substance they don't like.

Hard to believe, right? Read it for yourself:

I lift weights 4-5 times a week, and  i also do cardio 3-4 of those days. My diet is high protein and fat, and relatively low carb with a variety of foods.

I don't see the point really. If i do kill myself, i will no longer be capable of caring, and it's unavoidable to die at some point. My previous preferences will be irrelevant for me. I wouldn't be too worried though, as when i am seriously considering killing myself i start to think of all of the aspects and one thought is always of my mom and sister's potential reaction to my self-induced death. The feeling that this thought gives me is one of the most unpleasant thoughts that i have ever felt, and it quickly makes me decide not to go through with it to stop the bad feeling that was encountered.

It is still possible that my logical side may win one day in the fact that my family's reaction won't matter to me when I'm dead.

Feelings,emotions, and wild what if situations are a part of the thought process of any human. My mind has contemplated 1000's of unreal scenarios. Some i wanted to act out and some are just what if.Its ok to have these thoughts, just understand that when your dead you cant feel anything anymore good or bad.

There's always another day and our lifespan is so short. why speed it up?

Not me, I think suicide is a bad idea.  I think dying is a bad idea if there is any hope of a good life somehow, even if radical =/.  I feel bad for his mother in sister as well.  Call me what you want, make fun of me, whatever. 

I know your trying to troll me, but its kind of stupid and immature.  Especially given what you said here http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/8787958

If you think suicide is a bad idea you got death anxiety.  If one thinks it might or might not be a bad idea depending on the circumstances they have less death anxiety.  See how that works?

I think it's plain that you know very little about what motivates you.
I easily  admit I have it and you call me stupid and immature.:tongue:

Death anxiety is the morbid, abnormal or persistent fear of death or dying




I don't have that.  I don't even think death is a bad idea in ALL circumstances as I said above.  I don't think death is a bad idea, as you say above, absoultely.  I think its a bad idea if your life has no possibility of being worth living whatsoever.  To have death anxiety is to think and believe death as being bad in all circumstances and I certainly don't think that.  I think death could be a blessing, a cause for joy, not anxiety, in some circumstances.  Not anxiety to a lesser extent, as you say.

So no, to think death is bad, I don't think you have to have death anxiety.  However even if that were the case.  Why did you try and make fun of me?  Do you think its humorous to be terrified of death?  And even if you did, why post in this thread about it?  Why not have restraint, and just do something else?  Why chime in just for the negativity?  You will either continue trolling in reply to this and I will ignore you or we can devlope understanding..

Christ, you and that other guy and these little comments.  You both sound so unhappy.  So eager to express negativity.

Quote:

This guy is talking about killing himself.  A human being.  I post some empathetic remarks and you try and make fun of me for something you imagine I have that I don't, yet something you yourself have made a thread about. Thats stupid and immature.

Why do you have it though?  In the other thread you say its a mystery, and I believe to my core that death is the absolute end.

I should have it and you should not, not the other way around.


I have my own philosophy for conquering it though.
