Have you ever been told you should commit suicide?

[Forever Sleep]

I haven't and I'm sorry if this offends- I know gallows humour isn't for everyone but that reminded me of that quote from 'The Silence of the Lambs' film by Hannibal Lecter. It wasn't in relation to suicide but murder: 'Best thing for him really. His therapy was going nowhere.' I don't know- obviously not with regards to murder but I've always found it refreshing that maybe a therapist or doctor might actually see that no treatment was working and death was indeed the best option... not that that usually happens. There's always a new drug or treatment to experiment on you with...

 

[d3j3ct3dl0s3r05]

Yeah and by my own father which led me to me actually attempting. I do get treated like an attention seeker since I've been wanting to CTB for over a decade now but really it's a mix of not having access to effective methods + miniscule hope that the future may be brighter

Go look at the comments on Tantacrul's video, no shortage of that!

 

[su1c1dal-dungeon]

i got cyberbullied by a high schooler i knew when i was 10 years old (small ass town everyone knew each other no matter the age) and she thought i was trying to get with her bf… (????) basically she told me that i was worthless and i should jump in front of a car.
over the years theres been vague comments here and there through school, mostly self harm comments, but nothing since about 8th grade. im 21 now and the only person telling me to kill myself is me !

 

[gorgongrl]

when I was 14 and struggling heavily with depression and self harm, my mother gave me a knife and told me if I'm going to cut myself and be sad all the time I should just kill myself right now. Maybe she was right but it was heartbreaking to hear that from her.
Since then I've heard it from bullies, ex partners and of course, from my own mind.

 

[dumblosergirl]

Yes, my older sister told me. I have dealt with bullying by my cousin and my older sister was by my side and stood up for me and then my older sister started hanging around my cousin more and eventually started targeting me too and even though this was probably 8ish years ago I still remember when she said "I wouldn't really care if you actually committed suicide."

 

[LetMeOut67]

No.
I've been told I'm useless to society which is certainly adjacent.

 

[popcorn1234]

Yes, by myself. I have been telling myself to ctb for many years. I know it is the right thing for me, it is the only thing that makes sense as it is the one way to end all the suffering, but of course I am still here. Eventually I will exit, I will take control, end this horrible existence and finally be at peace.

I can't seem to find the guts to CTB for some reason. It must be my survival instinct or something.

 

[Apathy79]

I haven't told someone they should ctb, but I've agreed with people who told me that suicide was the best decision for them, which is only a subtle difference, but I suspect one that suddenly catches almost everyone here.

 

[ElTopo]

Yes, on different occasion, they weren't direct attacks at me in a sort of way, but I still took them personally and it still hurts...

 

[Szarur-abi]

My dad actually, it was during a fight so he probably didnt mean it... But it was a quite a time ago. Maybe 4 years ago

 

[mechanician]

All the time



This is my daily motivation

 

[LastLoveSong]

Yea by a couple family members

 

[ShortBaldAndUgly]

All the time online since I was a teenager. Twice in real life, both times in my late teens when I was rejected by a girl. One even called me genetic waste, which is true.

 

[amerie]

The 26 year old man who groomed me as a 17 year old told me I was a disgusting whore who should kill myself.

Who is that "man" so I kind find and get him.

 

[bankai]

Yeah, my mother told me. My sister told me and my dad as well

But it's all right. Just regular family drama,heh.

 

[noname223]

I can remember two times.

Once from a search enginge where AI was integrated. It recommended suicide as a problem solver for depression because it cited someone from reddit.

Many years ago when I was fired I was in desperate need to find a new employee. I went to a location that employs people with disabilities. Many of them had a low IQ though and not exactly my issues. I went there I cannot remember his name though. He was one of the biggest assholes I ever met in my whole life. He was absolutely despicable. And he worked with disabled people. I was in major depression and had very low self-confidence. My mom was with me. And he crtiticized me in an absolute inhuman way. He looked down at me. I cannot remember all of the words thankfully. But me and my mom cried afterwards. When he treated me like complete trash I told him gladly there is this the new legisaltion in favor of assisted suicide then I know where my place is. And he responded (the idiom is different in German but the meaning is similar) in for a penny, in for a pound.

Despicable asshole. Such a disgusting human being.

I think now I rather look down at him.

[hmnow]

I've never been told I was better off dead or that I should commit suicide or encouraged to commit suicide. I've always been counseled that things will get better or that I have so much to live for.

Has anyone ever been told that "you should commit suicide?"

only by someone who knew I was suicidal

 

[moribundwhispers]

my internal dialogue all the time

No Not really. I think like maybe once, but not specifically me, just like a broad statement to a group I was in

 

[girl interrupted]

Only by my mother during one of her rage fits. I don't think she really wanted me to, but I honestly don't think she would care if I died. She would probably feel relief if anything. She probably wishes I never existed.

Well, anyway unless you also count being in high school in 2016. It was thrown around quite a bit lol.

 

[LetMeOut67]

No
I kind of wish I had , it would mean that someone had thought about me for a few seconds

 

[theboy]

Yes
That person made fun of me to my face
It wasn't a joke. He just laughed at the problems I was going through and said "do it".

 

[Gustav Hartmann]

I had a pact with a necrophile cannibal. She will get my body if she kills me in return. When the planned date of my death comes closer her fear to be locked away for the rest of her life became so strong, that she asked me to kill myself. Unfortunately I was not able to do it.

 

[Alexandra0]

Relatives said it, but I think they said it as a joke

 

[moribundwhispers]

no, but they told me to sybau and read the bible

 

[InTheAbyss]

A few times. The one that sticks out in my head the most is a nurse told me "If you want MAID so badly then kill yourself or hire someone to do it for you". One of the times I was attempting to apply for euthanasia.
