[QUOTE="DarkwingPsyduck, post: 686338, member: 20267"] Well, I certainly hope that's the case. So, do you volunteer for a suicide hotline? Reading your signature for the first time? That's awesome. I had 2 serious suicide attempts when I was 17, and 20. It was a very odd experience, though. And I don't know if it was what one would consider "normal" as far as suicide and suicide attempts. Both times I did this, I was actually in a fairly good mood. I wasn't sad, crying in a bathtub as I opened my veins. First time, I had been out partying with friends. Had a really good time, all was fine. I was staying at one of those friends' houses at the time, and I decided to go back there to crash. He stayed at the party. I was already very close to his mother, and his 13 year old sister. I watched an episode of whatever his mom was watching, then helped the sister with some of her homework. Then I went to the bathroom, and without even really DECIDING to do this, I downed 3 bottles of Tylenol PM. Woke up a few hours later all jaundiced, in a lot of pain, and almost no control over my mechanical skills. Had to literally crawl up the stairs to wake up his mother.
