Choose another method that isnāt so challenging so I suppose yeah
If they are genuine they normally do from my life experience anyway.
Lost one of my childhood friends at 22 in 07.
My point exactly - I donāt buy into this attempting thing as being with the fullest of intentions of ending ones life
Sorry to hear about your mate btw
No worries pal, sometimes it can be a cry for help but if it continues it normally ends up in a death.
Itās terrible sad, for all concerned especially for the family but most particularly his/her mother from my experience. In my opinion itās awful to say but the mother never gets fully over it.
Fucking horrible stuff. Life is tough.
It is just a cry for help or an escape route from the pain. Numerous examples where people attempt it but panic and immediately realise they donāt want to die. A man in our area drank weed killer before, immediately sought help, drove to hospital but it was too late. The poor cunts just want the pain to end and canāt see there is help there.
While I see where youāre coming from it is never going to be an exact science.
Some people may look for what they perceive to be the less painful way out. This may have the result in a failed attempt but it doesnāt mean that they didnāt want to die.
Ray has a bizarre disdain for someone who canāt kill themselves properly.
That shouldnāt be funny but it is.
Reminds me of sideshow Bob, "Attempted murder! How is that even a crime? Do they ever give anyone a crime for āattemptedā Chemistry? "

TFK is a high-achievers forum
In fairness, some just make a hames of it.
I know 2 people who tried suicide, failed & have gone on to live seemingly happy normal lives since.
I know one was a cry for help. The other Iām not so sure but the person seems fine since.
No not a disdain at all of course not, but pity would probably be more apt
One of RTTs townies jumped into the Shannon one night only to find the tide out and himself stuck up to the waist in mud,I think he finished the job since though,Ray would be proud of him
True story about an American guy a good few years ago.
Decided he wanted to make sure so:
First he drank arsenic before jumping from a home made gallows over a cliff while trying to shoot himself in the head at the same time.
The rope broke, gallows collapsed under his weight.
He missed with the shot to the head as he jumped over.
Landed in the sea and swallowed a load of salt water that made him puke up the arsenic.
He swam ashore safely.
True story.

Iām gonna have to get a link on this. That seems made for snopes.
I read it on the āWorld Pageā on the back of the Independent many years ago.
Pre-internet. Always remember it.
Ah yes. Pre-internet.
When you could write or say pretty much anything and no one could disprove you.
