You said,
"I'm still very sorry I didn't succeed."-
Now, 5 months later (November 2016), you have no idea how much it saddens me to hear that from you and so many (majority) here
who have attempted suicide and later
regret their plans failed (they're still alive).
I have never attempted suicide, but have thought about it for almost 1 1/2 years, and the likely reason I've had no attempts so far, (have come VERY close)
is because I would want to make 100% sure, rather 111% sure if I ever did, I would be dead. (and being dead was the right decision).
Dead is permanent.
There's that lingering doubt (likely 1% or less on most days) that's kept me alive.
And coming to this thread over and over, is likely unhealthy for people like me - who HOPE to hear somebody (there's a few) say loudly and joyfully, I'm so happy I'm still alive (failed at suicide).
The stages before and after suicide attempts, should be that
the attempt is a LOUD CRY FOR HELP, for people they know or are in contact with them and those people (E.G. Family, friends + Doctors) will help that person to make necessary changes in their life (and health) so they no longer want (desire) to be dead.
Nobody should have to live a life, always wishing they were not here (dead).
There can be so many positive things in life (I had them but don't anymore) that
would bring them joy, peace, love and happiness= Thankful to be alive (most of the time)
IDK, but am curious how long the people here (who attempted suicide) thought about that decision before the attempt?
A day, a week, months, years?
I'm wondering for many reasons,
but especially because after almost 1 1/2 years I hope life will actually get better and I'll have only a fleeting thought or no reasons to want to be dead... OR I'll resolve that 1% doubt and just (finally) do it -
And either way the unbearable pain (of living) will end.
I know everybody's reasons (for wanting to end their own life) are different.
Mine is much simpler (horrific lifestyle makes life NOW unbearable and horrific to me)
and if I ever could solve those problems that's lasted about 4 years (the prior 50 were decent enough that I rarely, maybe never felt like dead was better than alive) -
For those who suffer from severe clinical depression, (which I do not), I know shaking that feeling is really tough and their lifestyle is a small piece of the puzzle...(and too often medications and therapy is simply not enough to cure what led up to their suicide attempt, nor fix what happens after).
As always, I'm hoping for the best for all of you, and good (HAPPY) things to come, for everyone, including me.
Will I make my first attempt and successfully die?
IDK (hopefully not), but if I do, I hope somebody remembers me here (and my posts meant more than my just talking to myself online.
Take care.
