#391974 - 04/02/12 10:36 PM Suicide attempts: how young?
onlyakid Member MaleSurvivor Registered: 03/31/04 Posts: 1502 Loc: New Jersey	Maybe its just me trying to make the pieces fit but I'm told that I was taken to the hospital when I took my fathers blood pressure medication. I was young about 5-7 or so (dont know the exact timeline). My brother who is the executor of my fathers estate kept conviently forgetting to look into a tombstone for my fathers grave. I dropped it. Its been 9 years since he passed and he never got one. Could something have happened to me and I took the pills to commit sucide or at the very least a cry for help? Or am I reading too much into this and its just a kid thing taking them because they look like candy or something. Do kids this young think of suicide? _________________________ "Being with people that understand you...Priceless" "and i don't want the world to see me, cause i don't think that they'd understand" "You don't know what love is...you just do as your told" "My life has changed.

traveler Registered: 02/07/06 Posts: 2440 Loc: overseas	i don't know how young is possible. i was about 12 - 7th grade - the 1st time i seriously considered it. as for the father - let him be forgotten. the sooner the better! (but that's just me talking about the step-father i got saddled with.) lee _________________________ They have greatly oppressed me from my youth, but they have not gained the victory over me.

pufferfish Moderator MaleSurvivor Registered: 02/26/08 Posts: 6153 Loc: USA	I think I was 4 years old. Unbelievable? Maybe! But that's how I remember it. The kiddie porn was ongoing. I was being used along with several slightly older boys. The older boys relieved their "shame" by bullying me. That's how I've come to see it. We lived on an island surrounded by white-sand beaches. I ventured out into the bay until the water got over my head. My mother was on the beach, absorbed in conversation with her friends. She must have seen my head go under water and rushed in to get me. Later she complained to me about how I had ruined her wrist watch. Puffer

phoenix321 Registered: 09/26/11 Posts: 911 Loc: USA, FL	16 was the first near attempt. I'm sorry about what happened to you but I don't see how it couldn't be possible to answer your question. Only you'll really ever know what was in your head though. Edited by phoenix321 (04/03/12 12:06 AM) _________________________ Phoenix A guy opens the front door and sees a snail on his doorstep.

Gee, people need a test before they become parents I swear to whomever is in-charge. _________________________ Phoenix A guy opens the front door and sees a snail on his doorstep.
