Discussion Were you suicidal as a child?

[darksouls]

as a child I always thought that I had been switched with another baby at birth and that my real family would come and take me home someday
but they never came
I first had suicidal thoughts when I was about 14

 

[deep-sleeper]

I have been since middle school

yes not sure what age it started but before i turned 10 for sure
i remember holding a knife and thinking i could cut my arms and die
also heaving some memories of having a plastic bag around my head
remember joking about hanging myself, learned the hangmans noose in my teens
but i never tried anything before i was 19

 

[repeat.]

I started having suicidal thoughts back in primary school, when I was about 8 years old. I kept thinking I wasn't good enough, that the world would be a much better place without me. I began cutting and burning myself around the age of 10, and the wish to die has never really left me

Same here, about 5 years old for me when I started pondering my death and causing it myself

I was 10 and I jumped off a building, I just sprained my legs ...

No. I was an anxious kid though due to SA. I was also depressed due to family mistreatment at the time. I started becoming severely depressed and suicidal at age 19 and continued to be so since then.

This makes me sad to hear bc you are one of my favorite accounts on here.
