A Girl Wants To Die and Asks Online How To Kill Herself. She Gets Responses From Readers

Today, something troubling appeared on my Yahoo feed. A 20-year-old girl posted on Yahoo Answers this question, “I want to kill myself, have no one to talk to, and want to know what to do to just end it?” Since her post 12 hours ago, a number of uplifting answers from concerned readers poured in. Although she sounded firm in her decision to kill herself, everyone is hoping she will change her mind.

Read her posting below.

Please skip the :”please don’t”s and “you have so much to live for”, because I will NOT change my mind. Fact is, I have made many attempts to speak to both professionals and friends and everyone just makes me feel guilty and I just don’t care anymore.

I am not going to explain my situation, it’s not worth the time. It’s my life, and I’ll decide what to do with it.

I want to know if there are any pills I can take that will just knock me out and kill me. I don’t have a gun, so that’s out. I could never bring myself to stab myself, that’s out as well, and no matter what I do, I can’t cut deep enough to bleed out. (Unless anyone knows where I should cut?) I tried hanging myself and that didn’t work, and I don’t have a vehicle or garage to carbon monoxide myself in, or I would have done that already.

Update: Mark: Uh, I’m trying.

Update 2: I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT ANY RELIGION I BELIEVE IN NO GOD OF ANY FAITH.

Update 3: I’m not asking if I should or shouldn’t, I know I should. I am asking how to get it done properly.

Update 4: Yes I’m a girl, and literally my breaking point was hit by losing the love of my life so no. (NO THIS WAS NOT THE REASON, JUST THE FINAL ADDITION)

Update 5: Excuse me, I would like to add I have been professionally diagnosed by multiple doctors with Depression and High Anxiety, and I was even hositalized in a rehab-type thing for a little while. I was diagnosed at 16, and I turn 21 in two weeks. So do NOT tell me I am having a temp breakdown. Looking at you, Jared.

Here are some of the responses from readers:

From libby:

This is a truly upsetting question. Think. You are asking people how to end your life the fastest way possible. I would love to tell you of all the wonderful aspects of life but you wouldn’t listen, right? You’re probably a beautiful, smart woman who has so much to live for and you want to cut it short? Why? Think of the future. It’s so good! And you’ll miss it if you go through with this. Your family. What about them? Do you want to see them depressed? Like you are now? But you could fight through this instead? And everyone will be happy sooner or later because you were that strong to not give up. All I say is good luck. I hope you make the right decision to stay.

From Carlyle:

Don’t…killing yourself is way harder than people think. There are pills that you can take but more than half the time people just end up throwing it back up. Guns, if you’re not an experts you can and will just end up with a hole in your face…. and still survive. Hanging yourself could just dislodge your spinal cord… which means you would live paralyzed. You literally cannot drown because it’s your body’s instinct to fight. So yes you will come back up for air whether you want t o or not. No… you cannot drink bleach. It’s too painful. Bleach will dry out your intestines…peroxide will blow up your stomach… So literally just stop trying to kill yourself. You’re not going to get very far. Sorry kid… you’re going to have to face life just like the rest of us

Source(s): I’ve tried before too. Life is pretty cool though.

Adele offered specific help:

I am very sorry you feel like this. I am a therapist and I can assure you that during periods of highly stressful situations many people feel it is their only recourse. With more information they discover they do have other options. You have done a good thing and an intelligent thing by reaching out because people care about you and are willing to help. You can call me and we’ll talk.

There is no use in feeling guilty if this is part of your problem. Whatever people are quilting you about, you did the best you could at the time you did it. If you knew better you would have done better. So would we all.

We behave and act according to the way we were programmed early in life. It’s not us it our programming. We are NOT our actions or our programing or our thoughts. We all makes mistakes, some more serious than others, but we learn from them and move on knowing how to live in a better way and help the next fellow when he needs it.

It’s done now. You’ve already paid for it a hundred times obviously. If amends need to be made you will be able to take care of that but now it’s time to repair the damage it’s done to you.

No one has the right to make you feel bad about yourself or guilty for anything. Your own mind is handling that in overdrive right now. You need someone to believe in you and I do.

The fact is that every one of us feels we have done things we should not have done and some of them are in the higher realm of importance in life.

We can get so depressed over it that we feel trapped by circumstances and become hopeless and helpless. We all feel guilt, remorse, and regret but when we or others pile too much guilt on ourselves, we lose hope of ever feeling good about ourselves again or being a decent person again. These are beliefs our mind beats us up with. They are false beliefs. They cause Fear…false evidence appearing real. You can get rid of the fear.

When we’re overwhelmed by emotions, we lose our grip on reality and we lose the ability to think straight. If there’s other people involved, remember we are not seeing the whole picture.

Guilt will not solve the problems that you are facing whatever they are.

But there is help and relief for how you feel available to you. And I can guarantee you, you Will feel good about
yourself and life again. I know. I’ve been there.

A person makes decisions about life and themselves based on labels and beliefs about themselves installed in childhood. You weren’t born feeling this way.
In your case your beliefs aren’t serving you.

You can REMOVE beliefs, programs, events, PTSD, feelings, traumas, victimhood, even self-hatred very Easily today so there’s NO longer any need to give up on life or yourself.

Please, as a favor to me, go to thelifemanagementcenter.com and read about a NEW therapy that provides instant removal of whatever belief that is threatening you, destroying your life, depressing you, or scaring you. Don’t worry about paying for it.

There is always another way out you just don’t know about it yet. Have you contacted any government agencies for counseling? Have you called Suicide Hotline 800/273-8255? Do you have any support at all? If you are being victimized, there is help and support to help you transition out of those circumstances.

No matter what your situation is it will not be improved by taking your own life.

Now what’s important is that you get a handle on your emotions so you can think rationally and recover some semblance of a life that works well enough for you to want to continue living.

From Cecil:

At what point in your life did you gaze into a mirror and decided you hated the image that stared back at you? Take your mind back to that point in your life and find that thought. Sometimes a person we hold dear to us may say something very hurtful but we don t tell that person how we feel about what they said. We instead,internalize that mental pain and place the hurt in a private section of our mind. And while it stays locked in that compartment of our mind, it festers. For some unknown reason we journey back to that room in our mind and peek through the keyhole. That is how we gather support for the thought of destroying ourselves, That dark room holds the solution (or so we think) to our plight. It takes strength and love to keep that door locked and intelligence to toss that key into an ocean of good logic and to embrace life.

I hope this is just one of the bad jokes written by an attention-seeking person online. At least no one gets killed.

However, if indeed this girl is real and wants to end her life, then this is a sad news. I hope for her friends and family to intervene and save her. Life is precious!
