I kind of tried to kill myself -

This thread has been labeled as triggering, particularly on the subject of suicide, by the original poster or by a Moderator. The contents of this thread therefore might not be suitable for certain sensitive users. Please take this into consideration before continuing to read.
The reason I say kind of is because it wasn't really a suicide attempt. I tried to hang myself but I was pretty sure I wouldn't do it beforehand. It was kind of a "if it happens, it happens" thing. I even wrote out a note just incase it did. I've never really tried to kill myself, just thought about it. I almost went through with it though. Now I have a weird feeling. Numb-like. :/

Hey
I'm really glad you didn't go through with it, but how close you were to is really scary. It's a really serious issue. What made you want to do it, like it seems to be something you've been thinking about for a while, but did anything trigger you wanting to do it just before?
And do you have a counsellor or psychologist who you could see? Your profile says you're 15, can you go see the school counsellor? These feelings are not normal and not something you should have to suffer from.

Hey hun,
Look, I think you need to talk to someone about how your feeling.. Do you know why you've been thinking about killing yourself? Have you got anyone you trust to talk this through with? Maybe a trusted teacher, parent, doctor.. anyone really..
I know that your saying that you didn't try and kill yourself but having these thoughts and urges make it a little more likely that you could try..
Try and get some help and support before it gets to that stage, maybe even talk to your friends and stuff.. Just let it out.. maybe write everything down if you cant face talking about things..
Look after yourself.

Ehhh... I don't really have anyone to talk to. I'm not very good with talking to people I know personally about my issues. But I have told my dad I need to see a psycologist for my OCD so.. maybe when I go, I'll talk about this, too. Nothing out of the ordinary really triggered it. I mean, I was kind of mad/sad/whatever, but there's been many times when I have felt like that but didn't try to kill myself.
