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

[Laststop]

I had an aunt go off out of state and OD on meds, a cousin that put a rifle in his mouth and shot himself, and a kid that was the son of friends who hung himself at only 22. I went to his funeral. You could make out the rope mark on his neck a little. It was tough. He was a sweet kid.

 

[not_a_robot]

Not Enough!
(sorry I know that sounds terrible but I have known a lot of very bad people )

 

[HGL91]

My grandmother hung herself. A family friend also hung herself.

 

[Timeless]

[Morphinekiss]

4 confirmed, 1 suspected

Edit: brother, ex-boyfriend, two former students of mine.

It's suspected my uncle also killed himself.

 

[Pilum Muralis]

My sister in law took an overdose of insulin. She was type 1 diabetic. I also had a good friend pass away. I don't know how, but he had a really bad alcohol problem. I still miss him, and feel I failed him.

 

[Bulletwbttrflywings]

My cousin and a best friend from college... both with bullets.

Still haunts me

 

[Snowx88]

None so far. I would be the first in my entire family /relatives to ctb. Which kinda scares me that I failed at life and everyone else succeeded related to me.

 

[blanketyblk]

Only one. thus far....

 

[ProhibereDolor]

Are we talking about both successful and unsuccessful attempts or just those that actually completed it? If unsuccessful then other than myself only one person. If successful then none.

 

[Asta]

Eight. Five with N, one with rifle, one drowning, one jumping from the Golden Gate.

I've been to 4 suicide funerals. 3 were from the same family and within a 2 year period. The first one set off the chain. First the daughter went, then the mother, then the father.

I don't know anyone in family or friends that committed suicide.

 

[Soul]

Mother, grandmother, aunt, two cousins, two acquaintances, a co-worker (I'm pretty sure that wasn't an accident) = 8 so far

Worried I'll set off the chain with my family, inherited all their mental illness. Feel like I was engineered to be fucked up

 

[vulturecyclop]

None.

 

[peacetoall]

My older brother. One friend I knew from High School.

 

[vonvonwantpeace]

my cousin, 16 year old.

 

[Ruffian]

3 I know of. I don't know all of my history. I have a nephew with ideation and a ton of issues. Some days the thought of him keeps me here - I wouldn't want it to influence him. Then again, my family has definitely kept up a host of lies through generations - I'm sure a story about "mixing up medications," or something to fit the method would explain me away quickly.

 

[TheBlackSwordsman]

None. Kind of wish I did so I could observe up close what this does to a family.

My uncle committed suicide 3 years ago, he shot himself in the head he survived that for a couple of days but he never woke up and eventually they had to take off the life line that was keeping him on this planet..he is at peace now...I wish I will be soon

 

[AnnonyBox]

I suspect more than one, but I'm shite at funerals so I never find out. The one I do know of went out by carbon monoxide poisoning. Overall, I'd say it was a peaceful way to go. Considering what I knew of the family life, it must have been a mercy to go.

 

[imademypicture]

My cousin sister. She was 3rd year art student. She jumped from the 2nd floor, ended up in the hospital for couple of days but couldn't make it.

 

[Etherealdignity333]

My dad. I feel we were a lot alike. He made it to 34, though, so he's got two years on me.

No. He had severe ptsd from being a combat medic. I wish I could have helped him more, but I know his demons got him in the end.
