How old were you when you first experienced suicidal thoughts?

[DrowningWithin]

I was 5, I had started self harming by elementary school

 

[kasper?]

It feels like it's been with me all my life. It's like I was born to live a brief moment in my life, to live a demo, so to speak.

 

[Praestat_Mori]

Early 40s, after a big failure in life.

That made me suicidal.

 

[mayayo]

14 when I had anxiety attacks just before going to school on a regular basis, thought I'd rather die than keep going

 

[Tommen Baratheon]

Must be around 16.

 

[michaellionel]

I was around 12 years I think

 

[Boots2Scoots]

I was around 8 years old. I spent a lot of time alone as a child and was bullied for being fat, stinky, and wearing my dad's hand-me-downs. I always knew of hanging as that was what you always hear about in regards to CTB. Haven't been able to shake it since. Had times where it was better but a day hasn't gone by where it hasn't crossed my mind at least once.

 

[freakypossum]

I'd say around somewhere between 10-12

 

[lilichka]

distinctly remember being around 7 and praying that i would die, then a really shitty ctb attempt at age 10? started sh at 13-14.

 

[SleepingSheep]

About 20, possibly much younger, but I don't remember much. At the time, I was isolated in my room, alone, very anxious, depression. I started looking for CTB intensively.

12, and it's like the age where these things start to happen, at least seeing the majority of comments. Basic, when you finish childhood and start being a teenager
