Successful suicide?!

Successful suicide?

Odd question but has anyone ever felt like just ending it all? Or know anyone that felt that way or actually DID commit suicide? I knew someone (not well) who hung himself at age 18. His family were shocked and didn't really seem all that aware that this was playing on his mind. Just general answers & experiences... Do you know anyone that did commit suicide & the issues that led up to it? General people, please answer.

I think I should probably clear up that this IS something I am thinking of doing. I'm not trying to get tips on how. I wrote this question as a way of getting an idea as to what others have done with regards to feeling as I do right now. How did they get through it? Who helped to pull them through? I'm not here for ear bashings. Some great answers so far. Thank you.

Its an interesting thing to consider, i have very low periods of depression sometimes and i do want to end it when i am there but i have a feeling of knowing i am depressed and won't be rash about any decision like that,

Plus if i was to commit suicide it would have to be smooth, i currently am tied into my job for at least the next 2 years and cannot do anything before this and during this time i will pay off all my debts and save enough to plan the funeral of my choice but i've not set this in stone.

This is a last resort, there are so many things i want to try and get out of life but it is an easy option and of course its selfish but if you are suffering permanently and all the doors you have tried are closed then its a possibility. Surely its selfish of others to make you continue suffering.

Again this comes down to a problem of physical vs emotional pain. Someone who is termanilly ill with say cancer could be seen as a good thing to end their life early to prevent their suffering but others cannot see this with Suicide for depression as only those that have it truly understand what its like but then the depression itself makes you want to do it and cures are possible but they are long and drawn out.

There is no right answer, you need to do what is right for you but don't do it too easily, there is no coming back if it all ends.

If you wanna talk more then message me, it would be nice to discuss things like suicide openly, most people just get shocked and say don't do it, don't do it, i'll call the doctors or whatever on you if you continue speaking like that, even though your just speculating.
