How many people have you known personally that have commited suicide?

[CyanideSoup]

One of my best friends that I met in the psych ward, she jumped infront of a train on her way home from college 2 years ago. She was in a lot of pain mentally and I don't blame her for wanting to escape. I miss her all the time. Also another friend hung himself a few weeks ago. I know he'd been through a hell of a lot. I hope they're both at peace now.

 

[AlreadyGone]

No one to be honest.

I have lost 7 people to suicide of various ages.
So I have experience of being suicidal, failing attempts and losing people to it.

I hope they are at peace too, it's bad that people are in so much pain. I do get it though and I don't blame anyone who dies by suicide

One dear friend who was 16. I would have been 18 at the time.

I'll never forget him

 

[Lost.]

if it counts people who you know online (except this forum) here are 4 people who i contacted they did it. they were aged 21, 21, 23 and 28. one of them was a member of this forum. i am part of facebook comunity (faceobook groups) where are people damaged by psych drugs and pssd forum which doesnt work currently and i dont know will it work again. since summer 2018 there have been about 15 people from groups where i am who commited suicide, and tousands who didnt but they suffer bad. all because of psych drugs. in reality i think there are a milions pople who die because of psych drugs and big pharma generaly, and more damaged. and how many people have harible side effects from psych drugs but they dont aware of it and think i was depression or it came spontaneously. like me while i had bad side effects from zoloft.

None actually; however being in. (or having been in I should say) the helping professions I have viewed and personally helped clean up two. That was a huge hit on my psyche. Huge. Might be a large part of the reason for me being on here with people of similar mindsets.

 

[SuicideBoys93]

This one hurt.

 

[MaybeSoon]

Two personally and quite a few who I saw around. I live in a small town.

Always felt sympathy and understanding with those who took their lives even before I was actively suicidal myself. Wouldn't say I was crushed by any of them. Definitely sadness at first but I understood why.

My birth mother who I never saw after I was took into care at. around 2 years died from alchoholism when I was adopted at 8 years old so I've always had a strange acceptance and understanding of death. I learnt to empathize from an early age.

Father, Godfather, 2 former classmates

 

[BPDbitch]

I think two. One person I was never told how she died, but I strongly suspect suicide. I guess I wasn't told because I was still quite young.

There was also a girl at my high school that committed suicide the day I left my final year. She was arsey to me on the same day she died (for no reason, I was just standing smoking and didn't know her but she decided to be cheeky to me when she walked past), then I woke up the next morning to the news that she had done it. Sad to say I didn't feel too empathetic considering she was rude to me and put in her note that she was being bullied when she was a known one.

Overall five. 1 murder/suicide(family member was the killer) 2 my best friend when I was fifteen she hung herself 3 suicide by police (also family) 4 &5 both were my closest friends and both were from a overdosing. All of them had really bad home life's and with the exception of number 1 who was an abuser, I miss them all, every single day

 

[Deathbydemo]

Just one. We weren't friends or anything but I knew her in my town. She hung herself but tried, in vain, to take it back.

Sorry to hear that, I couldn't imagine what losing people to murder suicide be like. I'd lost one friend to overdose too and another hanging and another train

 

[Swedish Equality]

My dad. And he was the only person who cared about me

By now death doesn't bother me anymore. I'm numb to it after seeing so many deaths. I know that it sounds horrible but I can't help it. I'm sorry that you lost your friends. Did you know if they were depressed? And dying by train sounds terrible I'm sorry for the person who did that. That must of been hard

They were depressed yes, one of them had just told her mum, nan and police that her 'dad' was abusing her and getting his friends to, she then couldn't cope no more.
My friend who went in front of train I couldn't get on a train for 2 and a half years after, the sad part about this is I heard it on radio before people were told. I still hate trains

My best friend when I was fifteen was being raped and abused by her step dad and her mom blamed her. She got pregnant by him and then miscarried, the next night she hung herself. I walked in to find her and I'll never forget what it looked like. I had to be the one to call the police. I learned then that the world is a very cruel place. I hate that you had to find out over the radio. I can only imagine the shock you felt. Your braver than me. I don't think I could ever ride on a train after that

It's awful what some so called family do. I was emotionally and physically abused by mum. My ex partner raped me and other domestic abuse he got away with it in court unfortunately

I'm extremely sad for you. Growing up both of my parents who have also abused growing up mentality abused me but my father was the one to hit me. No one deserves that. I was that I could erase your pain. And it's horrible that people get away with it then the victim gets blamed

 

[Avicii]

I've only known 2 class people from school 25 years ago who took their own life none else I've known in my future life since have i known anyone one guy was a successful businessman too working for a pretty high profile client just goes to show

 

[Maravillosa]

My maternal grandmother (the only grandparent whom I had a chance to meet more than once) ctb when I was 14. However, I did not know how she died until five years later, when I was hospitalized for suicidal depression: my mother mentioned it in passing when we were with the psychiatrist. I still don't know too many of the details -- I think she shot herself.

 

[TimeTheTaleWereTold]

my dad, but he was the scum of the earth so i'm not too bothered by it

 

[Moonomyth]

Three in total. A roommate overdosed on prescription narcotics. A neighbor jumped from the fourteenth floor of our apartment building after being threatened with eviction by our landlord. A colleague in the biology department at my University killed himself because of conflict between he and his family over his sexuality
