Search Results: suicide attempts

So recently I just got out of a 3 year relationship, since then I have been taking care of myself and learning to love myself before I attempted to love someone else again. I'm still young so there is still a lot to learn and expirence. I don't know much about love other than I always find some way to fuck it up. So I need advice on which one of these guys sound like the better pick. Be honest!
Josh; Josh is one of those bad boy types but he has a sweet side as well. We get along better than anyone, we're like peas and carrots... When we're together it's like everything is going to be okay. We've been talking about moving to Florida in October for college and to me it doesn't sound like that bad of an idea. Living with him would be heaven. He's already graudated from school, he's 19 and his body is oh so perfect. My Mom grew up with his father and she absolutely adores him. Sometimes I feel like all he does is get what he needs out of me and then he bounces. I pay his phone bill, give him a place to stay, and give him whatever he needs including sex. Oh, did I mention? He has a girlfriend.
Rick; Rick is the sweetest man you'll ever meet. He recently went through a lot and attempted suicide with a gun, when he got out of the hospital he started a relationship with a beautiful girl named Amanda (who he is currently still with) He has always been there for me and genuinly cares about me. We have always had a crush on each other and have always got along. He is a hott ass country boy with BAD habits and a big truck (that he lets me drive) He has never disrespected me and is all around an amazing person. He's had a hard past but he is working through it. I haven't had sex with Rick because I am sexually active with Josh and I couldn't allow myself to have sex with two different guys. I know in the long run Rick is the right one but did I mention? He has a baby on the way...

I personally have considered it seriously a couple times. When I was 19 I almost attempted - I had a bottle of pills and opened it and was going to take the whole bottle and just couldn't quite do it I don't remember why. I considered again a little less than a year ago and ran right to my school's mental health center because I was worried I would just do it if I was alone.

So. What about you guys?

Or are incidences of young teenage girls jumping in front of trains and adults going on shooting sprees then killing themselves not evidence enough that suicide is a legitimate option for some people? While some people may just be trying to get attention, there are actually a handful of people who overdose on pills, are found in a bloody bathtub, or are found hanging with a chair on the ground like Robbin Williams.

Personally, I find it to be absolutely disgusting and narcissistic when people ignore suicide threats due to their own arrogant assumptions that there’s nothing to be concerned about because they think they know everything. It is incredibly insensitive and inconsiderate especially if someone has nothing to gain by lying about wanting to take their own life. Suicide prevention is serious and it’s a step that should ALWAYS BE TAKEN. Some things are bigger than your ego such as someone’s life.
The inability to show compassion is a weakness especially if done as an attempt to make yourself look all-knowing.
