has anyone who attempted suicide regretted it?

[I’vehadenough]

an ER nurse told me that people in the hospital who survived a suicide attempt regret it and beg for their lives to be saved. anyone experience a suicide attempt where they wanted to be saved? or have they regretted being saved?

 

[Slenderman]

II personally think it's disgustingly exaggerated. Sure there are people who regret attempting, there are people who regret failing their attempt. Not me but a kid from my school was rescued after he tried suicide by drowning, a few months later he had his second attempt, which was successful. This is one case, can't talk for everyone but I'm pretty sure not EVERY person wants to live after they attempt.

My only regret is been saved. I took an overdose once and didn't say anything till 4 days later when I was suffering severe pain, they did a blood test which showed my kidneys were falling so I escaped the hospital, I wanted to die! The police eventually caught up with me and sectioned me to force me to get treatment.

 

[Crystal Labeija]

Some people might say they regret it to avoid being institutionalized in a psychiatric ward. I concede that some people do genuinely regret it, especially if they're looking at permanent disabilities, but some might oly do it as a way to avoid possible institutionalization.

 

[On the edge]

I don't regret them because now I know what not to do lol

Do you mind if I ask what you overdosed on?

Sounds like pro-lifer bullshit. I don't trust doctors and nurses, they're all closet sadists who go into medicine so they'll have access to helpless people to abuse. She was probably lying. Most nurses are addicts who steal pain meds from their patients.

DIsagree with the closet sadist part, but yes we have to be pro-life in hospital... its part of professionalism and not losing our jobs. so even tho im gonna CTB in under a month I still have to act normal. Thank fuck I have already done my ER runs and dont have any association with suicide (for the most part) so i dont have to lieand pretend that life is good.

 

[Purple777]

I only regretted waking up afterwards. I hoped to overdose and not wake up but it didn't work out the way I wanted to. I also regretted going to the hospital. I should have stayed home and waited until I puked it all out. Instead of going to the hospital and being involuntarily admitted to a mental hospital. It only made me more depressed . But I've learned from it now.

Yeah, nurses have a rising suicide rate like everyone else. Hope you get some happiness in the meantime.

I could never hold it together and keep working as my date got closer, knowing I wouldn't have to pay next month's rent. I would try to take a nice last vacation then start making up dumb reasons to live. Get high one last time and decide the weed is so good I want to stay alive to finish the bag.

omg I used to have this fetish/fantasy of meeting a suicidal dr. or anesthesiologist so we could be addicts or partner for a suicide. I finally met a really sexy one and he was super generous with meds, I wanted to ask him so bad, it was all I could think about, but he didn't seem like he wanted to be intimate like that and I didn't want to scare him. He was always soooo quiet, I would pretend he was the Angel of Death, come to collect me.

Zapain painkillers

I regret not succeeding I would have been out of this shitty planet for almost a year.

an ER nurse told me that people in the hospital who survived a suicide attempt regret it and beg for their lives to be saved. anyone experience a suicide attempt where they wanted to be saved? or have they regretted being saved?

Just my personal thoughts I think there may be a few who regret it. Perhaps because they might be worse off than before.
I think others may have just said it so their time in the hospital or psych ward would be less.
I think many, like you suggested ... regret being "saved".

II personally think it's disgustingly exaggerated. Sure there are people who regret attempting, there are people who regret failing their attempt. Not me but a kid from my school was rescued rescued after he tried suicide by drowning, a few months later he had his second attempt, which was successful.

There aren't enough likes I can give this. If I get "Saved" in my next attempt … I will LIE my ass off so I will be able to try again.

My only regret is been saved. I took an overdose once and didn't say anything till 4 days later when I was suffering severe pain, they did a blood test which showed my kidneys were falling so I escaped the hospital, I wanted to die!

So sorry this happened to you. I hope you can eventually find peace.

Totally agree. Pretty much said the same thing as well.

hahahah yeah theres certainly a few of us that are suicidal, support groups and people constantly killing themselves and shit ahahha its nuts when you think about it. train for 15+ years just to take a few meds and huff some gas then fall asleep. Perks is that I have quite a peaceful way to go which is something to be thankful for, no cutting or hanging. or hassle with N.

Also complete other note anyone think its ridiculous how much a psychiatrist costs? like the initial consult is as much as me sourcing N...

I heard a few end-of-life shows on npr a few years ago and the revelations about doctors' behaviors were always a little shocking. One was that doctors surveyed said they would overwhelmingly reject all end-of-life measures and extraordinary measures that they recommend to patients; wanted no part of it, said the suffering would never be worth it. Also a doctor who had to manage end-of-life care for her dad, a retired doctor. She was shocked that doctors basically forced unwanted care on her dad even though she was clear about not wanting it. She wrote a small article about it and the retaliation she faced was pretty nuts.

Also, you are totally making me want to Marla-Singer those suicidal Dr. support groups to find a partner... I would love the irony of doing it with a doctor. That would delight me.

 

[LongTimeComing]

I regret it because it was kinda impulsive and it obviously didn't work. However, in the psych ward and my life after it, I've been learning how to cope with my trauma and survive a little longer. It also taught me how I wan't to leave: Without any suspicion.

 

[JohnUK]

No I've not regretted trying to attempt suicide. I've been trying to ctb at the famous beachy head cliffs in the UK but haven't been able to find the right opportunity to jump it. Either I've not ready or something there meaning I couldn't jump at the moment

Why dont you try and become a doctor?

 

[not_a_robot]

Why dont you try and become a doctor?

Lol if I had it to do over again I'd have tried harder to pursue a career in public health or bioethics, I'm pretty passionate about it, but I doubt I'd ever have had the stamina to even complete a degree. I'm just an armchair-bioethicist. The depression and feelings of futility/doom came on me very early in childhood, so I was one of those kids who always scored highest on tests but wouldn't do homework/assignments. I honestly never thought I'd make it to thirty.

 

[Ashpac]

I regret that my attempts did not work but I dont regret trying them.

 

[Rivotrial]

I wasn't begging for my life I begged that they'd make my horrific pain stop due to my muscle disintigration

When I left the hospital after some weeks , saw the sun shining , kids playing, birds singing etc. , for a short moment I was really glad. But pretty sure that's just because I was finally out of the creepy addiction station where the medics transfared me to cuz they couldn't believe someone could survive this not being an addict

A few days later the only thing I regreted was that I didn't add more stuff and that I was found. A simple call to everyone that I'm going on vacation or smth would've solve it

Sounds like pro-lifer bullshit. I don't trust doctors and nurses, they're all closet sadists who go into medicine so they'll have access to helpless people to abuse. She was probably lying. Most nurses are addicts who steal pain meds from their patients.

True, one of my buddies had headache some day. His GF worked as a nurse and asked an assistance doc if they have smth there which helps. He gave her a bottle Tramal (Tramadol, Ultram etc.) and said: " take this, the expiration date is almost over anyway ...." that was the beginning of his opioid addiction

Nop

Nope. The only thing I regret is still being here to type this message

These fucking prolife nurses and doctors are all liars. Indeed "saved" peoples just want to avoid being jailed in psych wards, so they say everything these motherfuckers want to heat.

 

[NextSummer]

I don't know how the research calculates the number of attempts and the statistics behind it, but it seems there are many suicidals who regret their attempts (It might be regret - at least they don't attempt again). I think it's the high number of impulsive suicides that leads to this.

Some people might say they regret it to avoid being institutionalized in a psychiatric ward.

I woke up in hospital after a propranolol overdose about 2 months ago. I partly said I regretted it so u would be released from the psych ward sooner
But when I woke up from the coma I was in a weird headspace: almost euphoric but floaty, kind of like taking coke and smoking a joint at the same time. In the hospital i was laughing (I laughed so hard I wet myself a few times!) And even talking to the psychiatrist I was honest. I was glad I survived... for the first few weeks. Maybe it was a coping mechanism, maybe the meds, maybe my brain was firing all the neurotransmitters, maybe because for once in my life people were caring about me and asking how I was
All I know is im back here now

Im sorry but I completely disagree. Healthcare is one of the toughest professions out there, constantly caring for others and being surrounded by suffering. From personal experience, nurses especially are the most wonderful people out there. Don't project your hatred for the world onto innocent people, that's just nasty. Deal with your own shit.

 

[Lush_nova]

When I came home after attempting, a mental health worker said to me are you glad you are home. I looked him dead in the eye and told him to fuck off.
I turned to the other worker and said I was fine and it's all good. I said the words they wanted to hear. Doesn't mean I regretted it, it just meant I didn't want to be sectioned so said what they needed to hear.

I hate the pro life bullshit. Of course we only hear positive I'm glad I didn't manage to commit suicide stories. No one will share the negative. Many of this pro life glad it didn't work stuff, I feel they were simply a cry for help in some ways and didn't want to die in first place.

Those who truely want to CTB and fail for whatever reason , will know how to work the system and keep their mouth shut.

 

[Conflicted Cat]

It's insanely exaggerated. They'll never talk about the people that still wish they were dead. And let's be real, a lot of the people who say they regretted it are probably only saying so to avoid getting locked up.

 

[deathenvoy]

I regretted that I survived.
