- DON'T PANIC! I'm not contemplating suicide - but having just discovered this site, felt it was definitely worthy of a thumbs up. Hope it helps someone.

- This is my favorite quote from the page. Has always been and always will be. I have used the intro to this site as a resource for my clients many times. Anyone who has experienced suicidal ideation can benefit from this kind of support. And, yes, even though it is in narrative form, it can certainly be effective. From the page: "People often turn to suicide because they are seeking relief from pain. Remember that relief is a feeling. And you have to be alive to feel it. You will not feel the relief you so desperately seek, if you are dead."

- If You are Thinking of Killing Yourself
Please Read This 1st! If you are feeling suicidal now, please stop long enough to read this. It will only take about five minutes. I do not want to talk you out of your bad feelings. I am not a therapist or other mental health professional - only someone who knows what it is like to be in pain. I don't know who you are, or why you are reading this page. I only know that for the moment, you're reading it, and that is good. I can assume that you are here because you are troubled and considering ending your life. If it were possible, I would prefer to be there with you at this moment, to sit with you and talk, face to face and heart to heart. But since that is not possible, we will have to make do with this. I have known a lot of people who have wanted to kill themselves, so I have some small idea of what you might be feeling.... IF YOU HAVE READ THIS FAR - PLEASE CLICK ON THE SITE AND READ THE REST! And if you need a Friend - I Am Here! Blaze - If You are Thinking of Killing Yourself

- "Social stigma and prejudice are our enemies. Every human being is taught from childhood that suicidal people are shameful, sinful, weak, selfish, manipulative--taught that we are contagious, that we want to harm others. None of these ideas are true. No scientific study has ever confirmed that a significant proportion of suicidal people have these qualities. But children believe what they are taught. Each person we seek help from has been conditioned to respond with fear, contempt, and aversion. Worse yet, when we became suicidal, we applied these ideas to ourselves. Much of the content of depressive rumination -- "I'm no good, I'm stupid, I'm a failure, I'm weak, I don't have enough will power," -- is simply the reflexive response of internalized stigma. Stigma causes us to inflict pain upon ourselves and deters us from seeking help. It causes those around us to shun us, to be afraid to talk with us, to abuse us. While thousands of years of social oppression are an enemy, our allies include millions of years of biological programming. We are born with the desire to stay alive. It is the most basic thing about us; we share it with all living beings. At each moment, millions of events take place inside our bodies and inside our minds that are designed to help us stay alive...

- From the page: "I have known a lot of people who have wanted to kill themselves" Er, if all your friends want to kill themselves, that's not a very subtle message.

Some good resources and links here. I know in my own life there have been many times I have thought of just "ending it all"! So far...as you can see...I have not done that, and hopefully I never will. Still those thoughts haunt me all the time. I wanted to save this page for myself, and others who might need to read it.
