Discussion Were you suicidal as a child?

[darksouls]

as a child I always thought that I had been switched with another baby at birth and that my real family would come and take me home someday
but they never came
I first had suicidal thoughts when I was about 14

 

[deep-sleeper]

I have been since middle school

yes not sure what age it started but before i turned 10 for sure
i remember holding a knife and thinking i could cut my arms and die
also heaving some memories of having a plastic bag around my head
remember joking about hanging myself, learned the hangmans noose in my teens
but i never tried anything before i was 19

 

[repeat.]

I started having suicidal thoughts back in primary school, when I was about 8 years old. I kept thinking I wasn't good enough, that the world would be a much better place without me. I began cutting and burning myself around the age of 10, and the wish to die has never really left me

Same here, about 5 years old for me when I started pondering my death and causing it myself

I was 10 and I jumped off a building, I just sprained my legs ...
