How old are all of us here?

[ouvreyes]

17. first attempt was when i was 13. 4 attempts since then that mattered. most of the other ones were just me taking a bunch of pills even though i knew i didn't have enough. now that i've found this site, i can see where those 5 real ones went wrong, and will hopefully be able to put a smarter plan together soon.

i'm 19, haven't tried yet.

 

[BaconCheeseburger]

I'm 24.

I've overdosed several times, mostly between the ages of 16-20-ish. Maybe two of those occasions were proper attempts, and they both made me incredibly sick. If only I'd known how painful and unreliable overdosing is.

My ideal way to go would be partial suspension.

No attempts yet, but I'm sure now I want to die this year before Christmas.

I'm 20, and attempted partial suspension hanging last year, have felt this way since age 12. My childhood was the happiest and best period of life. As if I have been punished for the amount of joy I once felt.

I'm 29. I attempted partial suspension recently but that didn't work out so I may go with SN. I've been cutting since I was a teen but that mostly stopped once I could start drinking.

attempted twice serioulsy

 

[wiIIow]

25 - twice. Both uneducated and impulsive overdoses. Never was hospitalised for the second one, just out cold for over 24 hours. Hell of a nap

I'm also told that folks had to stop me from running out in front of a train once when I was blackout drunk. Not sure if that counts since I don't remember what my intention or mindset was. However, I was really fucked up and suicidal during that time in my life, and drinking an obscene amount daily.

28 - Never attempted, aiming for 1 and done soon depending on setup and getting house sold/affairs in order etc.

 

[Shogun]

[faex42]

I may well be one of the oldest members on the site. Here and there I've mentioned my real age but I'm feeling embarrassed tonight
I don't want people to feel odd around me because in all truth I have so much in common with other members. . My first suicide plan was in 2004. I should never have opened my mouth and disclosed it. It was my best plan out of so many...

This time I will do it right

 

[cupio dissolvi]

I'm 18 but I'm really 40 because he's 40. I don't care about anything else.

You're among the youngest, that's for sure. But the age distribution here is skewed to the left anyway. Most people are below 30, I guess.

 

[Suicide47]

I'm 29.

If you'd also like to answer, how many times have you attempted (with intention of death, not just testing methods)?

I've tried 4 times.

Just turned 22. I have tried once

 

[ctkmtt]

19, tried 2 times about to be a 3rd
