If you tried to commit suicide and failed

No.

Does the worlds stupidist terrorist dream of the notoriety of becoming the first serial suicide bomber?

I wouldn't be able to live with myself

i think the punishment is life

it would show you how useless you am and was correct to try to kill yourself in the first place

Attempted suicide used to be a crime but no longer.

People who really want to commit suicide ALWAYS succeed!
Those that don't succeed are just crying out for help in an extreme way.

I hope this clarifies the situation.

Anyone know the numbers on percentage of attempted suicides compared to those who go through with it? I always figured that if you really had made your mind up, you would choose a foolproof method, for example like Robert Enke did recently by standing in front of a train. How do they legally define an attempted suicide rather than ' a cry for help ' ?

I ask because sadly, my sister when only 17 was suffering from depression and swallowed a couple of boxes of Nurofen washed down with a lot of vodka. Thankfully she phoned a friend who called the ambulance and they got to her in time and took her to hospital to have her stomach pumped. She was kept in hospital for a few days until doctors were satisfied there would be no lasting effects on her body. The only subsequent actions were medical - there was no further contact from the Police or any legal process to go through.

Tbh is life really that bad that you need to contemplate it?

i do kniow that women attempt suicide 4 times more than men but twice as many men kill themselves a year as women.

basically with women it is more often a cry for help and they send friends a message then take pills or such like. eg a way out. with men they tend to blow brains out, jumop of high buildings etc. once commited there is no changin g there minds

Yeah, women are rubbish.

I bought my house without realising its grisly past. The owner prior to the guy I bought it off topped himself in style. Slashed his wrists then hung himself from the landing light. Apparently the house was a right mess. You have to declare a suicide when a house is sold on so the vendor got a cheap deal, I paid £50k more than he did just 18 months after coz I knew nowt of it. Only when I saw the discrepancy in the puchase prices completing the paperwork did I sniff out from the neighbours what happened but it was too late to back out then.

The landing light is very temperamental to this day! I dunno why a young man in his prime would top himself beacuse hiss gf left him for another bloke. Very sad.

attention seekers.. I know 2 women who did similiar, take a lot of pills text a friend and ended up in hospital on both occassions. Sad really as most the time she is a very happy/fun person or at least on the outside. Will never understand it when she has such down patches. One of them used to cut herself as well.. all very sad that people feel the need to do that to themselves :(

oh

it is also really that bad for the terminally ill

The 'attention seekers' label is a bit too broad - you would say the same about a woman in a bar dressed to make sure everything is on display, or a boy racer driving down the high street with his sub blasting out some bass heavy r n' b cack.

Most people don't understand the effects of depression until it hits pretty close to home - you always think of it a character weakness, or someone who is weak willed. Plenty of healthy and relatively young blokes with a pretty good career, family life and sex life suddenly suffer with it and they themselves are often the most suprised.

I know someone (not personally) who was a son of a millionaire had plenty of money, fast cars, stunning girlfriends/1 nighters and wasnt happy at all.. ended up in hospital for a spell. I believe he is doing ok now but what looks like a perfect life on the outside can be very different to how a person is feeling on the inside.

Charwell, i think you have a legal claim for compenasation if something that was known was deliberately witheld.

this sounds like a pretty sright forward case, althought i doubt if you solicitors questions asked specifically "has there been any recent suicides in the property..."

A friend of mines son, (well, grandson but she brought him up for the first 17 years of his life) killed himself on Xmas eve by hanging in his bedroom. very sad for her. is hard to imagine hwat was going through his head just prior to doing it...

Women are just far less successful at doing anything, so it stands to reason they would also fall far second best in the suicide rates IMO...

men have far better reason like lost a bet or team not winning the league where as women have generally poor reasons like upset at colour of newly painted walls and running out of milk etc...

TBF, I will re phrase my statement to read for the terminally ill!

Sorry bird man!

it's not just the terminally ill is it

many people aren't leading such happy lives as yourself while ******* nubile young ladies

seems strange to comment on something you have no experience of

what do you think the people in haiti are going through right now?

we can not comprehend

FFS!!

If you wre for example in the towers at 9/11 or other such atrocities, or are terminally ill, I feel it is acceptable.

But otherwise, eg, debt, fatness or other such trivial problems, I feel it is lazy!

There!!

It's not trivial being fat, takes a lot of work!

Or so my fat friends tell me.

A mistake made by lots of people who are making a cry for help is to overdose on aspirin or similar - I used to date a renal nurse and she told me that there were loads of people who had completely ruined their kidneys by doing this, and were now on dialysis for life...

Dont do it Huckerson. Chit chat is here for you!

Both my brothers have attempted suicide in a pathetic way of getting some sympathy,both were p issed and neither of the meant it,every time i have had to tell my Mother and clean the mess up,pathetic weak individuals.

My mam's pals where at a wedding came home at 2am to a groggy daughter telling them she had taken an OD of paracetamol because her boyfriend had broken up with her, they rushed her to hospital, the girl ended up in a coma but had to much damage to her organs and died within a couple days. Was meant as a cry for attention but the parents where home later than the daughter expected, the stats speak for themselves, too many silly girls use this method as a cry for attention.
