In order to establish some causality for suicide in the participants of this forum, it will be interessing to know the age Group most belong to.

The data from CDC established the following suicide rank by age Group:

So, which one is your age Group?

I'm 22 going on 23. I don't know if the study is taking into account any variables like drug abuse or family history. Interesting nevertheless.

25-34. Nice to know it'll most likely be an accident, suicide, or homicide. Have narrowly dodged all three.

I'm so tired at almost 42. Most people in old times were dead by this age.

I'm happy you were able to make it to 42, I don't think I'll get to that age myself. I'm already feeling far too tired to continue. Which is sad, I guess. I don't want to say that I get what you mean, I feel that'll be pretty disingenuous because of my age. I just don't know how you made it as far as you did? I hope that isn't taken as offensive as it sounds. I'm just curious.

I used condoms sometimes lol! Because I'm single with no kids or partner, in some ways this lowers stress. I eat reasonably well, and don't heavily abuse any drugs. Although Adderall is bad and I use smallest possible dose. I have never been prone to self harm even though I suffer with suicidal ideation. I've never been hospitalized. It's mostly luck that I'm still alive, and maybe just enough wherewithal to survive and manage to find small pleasures where I can. In some ways I've felt very lucky like with my physical health was always pretty good, not as much my mental though. There are some things that give me meaning, like certain speakers I like to watch on YouTube. Gives me hope in a way. The downside I failed to mention is that it's not really that hard to make it to 40 or 50 these days because modern life allows most people to at least reach this age. The problems begin when u hit these ages and u have no real support network, no retirement savings built up. So from here on out I don't think I will reach 50 because women value relationships over career even if we got brainwashed into career. Men are more interested in things and women more interested in people on average. This is where it becomes miserable if u become too isolated which is inevitable for many of us as we age. Children and family keep u in the loop and help prevent isolation. So I don't expect to make it to 50 just because I tend to be less interested in trying to meet new people nowadays. It's just harder.

I'm a tad confused as to why you put "less than ten" up there. Then again, at this day and age where you see toddlers with tablets the size of their entire torso... Yeah, not impossible. Lol

I'm almost 23 and I don't even remember the last time I was happy. If this is the happiest point of my life I don't think I want to keep living

The acute transition from 10-14 to 15-24 supports my idea that suicide is a kind of adolescence induced trait! Maybe that's why is common depressed people missing childhood...

I agree on suicide (and associated mental health issues) being an adolescence thing, from what I've seen and my own experiences depression and suicidal thoughts often start cropping up around the beginning to middle of adolescence, though not the case for everyone obviously.

didn't consider ctb till 20
attempt at 38
now reconsidering

yah, adolescence is a really tough time for a lot of kids
feelings are sensitive, people are critical of you, you are trying to fit in somewhere, it is tough!

at my age ctb isn't even in the top ten!
lotta other things to kill me - I wish they would lol.

Sadly, I have always had a really healthy body.
Too bad somebody with lots of health issues couldn't transplant their brain in my body, such a waste.
Then they could just bury my brain with the other person's body.

I know I would survive ctb with any drugs, probably even N
That's why I'm going with inert gas, no way any body can survive without oxygen

You say "We are not born suicidal" and yet depressed at 5... 66 is a nice number BTW.

My father died from complications of alcohol, when I was 3.5.
My maternal grandmother came to live with us to raise me,
while my mom had to go back to work as a school teacher in the Chicago Public School system.
I remember sitting alone during recess, feeling alone, and sorry my mom had a work to support me.
So yah, shit happens, even when you are young.

I know I'm not the most appropriate person to answer that since I'm not too old yet (22), nor I want to make you change your mind about ctb. But yeah, I think 18 is a early age to ctb imo

It's nice to see suicides exceeding murders for all age groups. When people freak out about suicide being a high cause of death for a demographic I think: Nice! Better to die voluntarily than involuntarily.
