Have you ever been told you should commit suicide?

[Tintypographer]

I've never been told I was better off dead or that I should commit suicide or encouraged to commit suicide. I've always been counseled that things will get better or that I have so much to live for.

Has anyone ever been told that "you should commit suicide?"

 

[KuriGohan&Kamehameha]

The 26 year old man who groomed me as a 17 year old told me I was a disgusting whore who should kill myself. Several times at school I was harassed by other girls, which included colorful jabs such as saying I should "die and go to hell" alongside my aunt the next time she attempted suicide.

Indirectly, my dad's mother implied this by saying I wasn't meant to be born, I was a mistake, and my father never wanted a child. (He was dead at this point, so I supposed she felt she could speak for him.)

By online trolls, hundreds of times. Meh.

 

[Toonloon]

My mom told me to kill myself when I tried coming out as Bisexual and asked her to meet a girlfriend.

 

[TheHatedOne]

I've been told to kill myself before, the most ''funny'' one is when I've been told to kill myself on a space dedicated for depression support (or that's how they call it at least) and on another space dedicated for loneliness, these spaces were on an app called Amino.

Same never in person. Mostly on online video games and stuff

Ran into this guy on xbox live once:

 

[Death is beautiful]

my mom advised me to hang myself when we talked about suicidal thoughts

 

[undertherainbow]

My brother gave me his gun when I was 15 because he was tired of my shit. I saw this one therapist once who told me to just get it over with. They were both right as I'm just a miserable person on and off meds.

 

[Snake of Eden]

An ex friend told me to do it once

 

[FuneralCry]

Yes, by myself. I have been telling myself to ctb for many years. I know it is the right thing for me, it is the only thing that makes sense as it is the one way to end all the suffering, but of course I am still here. Eventually I will exit, I will take control, end this horrible existence and finally be at peace.

 

[miserableforever]

My ex laughed when I called the suicide hotline, 'so you're faking your issues again'
I've had chemical depression that gets worse during stress since I was 10.
Other than that, several people told me to kill myself already, not sure if they meant it.

 

[hopelessgirl]

My ex said i should move back to my country and kill myself there so he didn't have to deal with my body. My best friend thinks I'm too weak to kill myself and asked me why I didn't just go jump off a bridge. He apparently has no clue about all the preparation thoughts and si and worry about failing.
If I had a method where I knew there would be no pain and 100 success I'd be gone in a minute.

 

[deletedaccount30982]

i was given a container of bleach as a gift and the person who gave it to me said "since you're depressed i figured it would help you". when i was talking about it to a group of friends later one of them said "oh well he's a pretty smart guy you should listen to him". i've also been told by multiple people that my attempts weren't serious enough and if i really wanted to die i would have tried harder (all of my attempts were very very serious and almost killed me)

 

[bed]

only ever online. I have been called stupid though for attempting or for wanting to end my life.

 

[TriggerHappy]

I've shared that my sister wanted to smother me when I was in the land of nods on the patio.
I'm dissapointed she didn't fucking do it.
we've recently discussed it, & had a good cry :: im not into dark surprises anymore :: she's ok with my decision to ctb, she gets my damage...

 

[Ch92921]

Yes my soul told so.

 

[forgotten15]

Once when I was in a fight with my mother I told her I will jump from the balcony because I can't take it anymore and she said go ahead.

 

[Healing]

My dad told me to kill my self quickly instead of keep talking about it, but i guess it was just a moment of anger from him !

 

[Sittichmutter]

SS People,
I am really sorry you all went through this.
Some people are incredibly cruel and insensitive. More than that, people who say or write such things are just ignorant. They are totally uneducated about mental health matters. Monsters! We should try not giving Voice or listenning to these kind of people.

My dad told me to kill my self quickly instead of keep talking about it, but i guess it was just a moment of anger from him !

Probably. Hearing that you want kill yourself inflicts a terrible pain on him. And the older generation did not learn How to Deal with this situation.

Once when I was in a fight with my mother I told her I will jump from the balcony because I can't take it anymore and she said go ahead.

She Just Said that because she was angry and because she did not believe you would do It. If you had lifted your leg to jump off the balcony, she would have surely held you in Panic

 

[sadbadpsychogirl]

all the time. by everyone. people really are god awful. i'm sorry you all have had to deal with this too..

yes

 

[InSearchOfLess]

Sure I have but it doesn't bother me, though only by people Ive more often than not been an instigator towards, Ive also been banned and muted on platforms for having done the same, the thing is when I die it will be because I said so

 

[SomethingsOff]

I'm openly queer on the internet. Of course I was. In real life, some people have indirectly suggested it, usually it went over my head as an oblivious kid, but its easier to say it online than face-to-face, I think.

 

[TAW122]

I have never been told that, in fact, most of the time, I never talk about CTB or death as I know the repercussions for doing so given the taboo and stigma of the topic alone. Oddly enough, there are times where people even ask me if I'm at risk for CTB'ing, and albeit as offended as I am with their scrutiny and inquisition towards my privacy, I've been trying hard to avoid giving off any hints of it. If anything, it only makes me go for CTB even more. I cannot and will not accept a society and world in which CTB is stigmatized, censored, and even forceful intervention imposed on those who wish to leave this world on their own terms.

 

[Praestat_Mori]

No one ever told me to CTB, but it's an inner feeling when CTB becomes an option and when it is the only option for things to get better.

 

[soontobec0rpse]

many times. Mostly when i was 14. by that time i had tons of scars littering my whole body, i was subjected to extreme bullying and harassment, it was a daily occurrence to be told that. it never really got to me much until my dad said it. we got into a fight and he said that i should go jump off the bridge a few blocks from my house. i dunno.. i guess they had some sense.

 

[feder]

My father told me to just go and jump off a bridge while we were in a fight once. I didn't feel anything when he said it though. I've told him I trying to not ctb, he just said "Those tricks don't work on me" lmao

Both of our fathers said the same thing and we posted at the same time. Coincidence?

 

[kaleidoscopedreams]

The one time someone said it & it truly effected me was when I was at my local bar. It was 3 days before Christmas & I was walking in after work & wanted to have a drink (or 6) & this guy, who I've seen before & talked to, was sitting at one of the only available seats at the actual bar area. This guy was a drunk motherfucker if you ever did know one, he would come in frequently already hammered & the bartender knew him so she still would serve him more when he arrived. Normally he doesn't bother me, I keep to myself & he would just b like an older weird man. This day was different he must have been in a bad mood, when I go to sit next to him just to wait for a bartender to see me, he just looks me up & down & starts grunting & groaning in disgust & talking low under his breath. I did not say a single word to him, he turned to me & asked "aren't you supposed to have killed yourself? Like really why are you even here? Like if you're gonna do it, just kill yourself but don't do it over here go away from me & do it" & starts waving his hands in the other direction. At first it didn't really hit me, I just got my drink & moved far away from him. As 5 mins pass I start to really feel the weight of the words. I truly don't know this man, & his words just echoed my own self reflection.

 

[anaschariac]

I feel so sorry to everyone who's ever been told to kill themselves, especially by people who should have protected them and cared for them. While a lot of us are actively suicidal, it just feels wrong to have closed ones tell us that kind of stuff without empathy and compassion. Just goes on to show how much they truly care huh (I get that anger can make people say stuff they don't believe but it's a petty excuse when they keep doing it over and over again without seemingly caring about the weight and impact of their words)
I wasn't exactly told to kill myself but my mother already told some of my siblings and I that we should go die in a corner
