Yes, but only when I'm drunk or waking up in the morning.
Also, when I'm down, depressed, bored, hangover, moody, unhygienic and/or listening to the band.

I was very suicidal when I was 11-12 years old, but not anymore.

Not really. I'm too afraid of pain to ever really do it. I find other vices for my depression.

Never even crosses my mind. We only get, say, 70 or 80 years (maybe even a few more if we're lucky!) on this planet, and then its all over. It strikes me as so ludicrously stupid to take your own life that I can't even find strong enough words to describe it.

You must never feel overwhelmed enough by your lot in life, then.

During my worst moments i thought about it, but never seriously considered it. There were too many people in my life I couldn't imagine hurting in that way. Just the thought of my mother's tears would be enough to stop me from any such idea.
Pain/stress/anxiety is temporary, remember that. It will pass. Suicide is a poor solution to a temporary problem. Take it off the table my friend.

I can say with absolute confidence that no circumstance, regardless of how overwhelming, would ever cause me to consider killing myself. To me, there is nothing worse than being dead.

My mother have tried to commit suicide (overdoses medication) two times but although I have gone through some very bad periods, I always found the motivation to go on with my life, with thanks to my wife, my best friends and ... the music

Andrew, you've been listening to too much Dream Theater... 
I have to say, I'm quite disturbed by this poll, with 32/57 respondents admitting to having 'seriously considered committing suicide'... 
...anyone would get the impression that Prog Rock fans are by nature considerably more emotionally unstable than national averages would suggest...

Either that, or by their very nature, prog fans are more sensitive and analytical than your avarage Joe (without wishing to over simplify and generalise things)and are therefore more naturally prone to self analysis, and in turn possible self destruction.
Often, the most happy of people are apparently the most stupid..
 Again, without wishing to over simplify and generalise things..

I think Andy hit the nail on the head.. When you are more sensitive than the average Joe, it happens that life gets a bit too much sometimes, and you think about the "final solution", so to speak. I know I have on several occasions, even if I have NEVER acted upon it.
However, I don't think that means one doesn't love life... It's just that we are not machines, and there are times when one is less reactive when things start going the wrong way. I know this is what happened to me last spring, after a series of very negative events.

I think a lot about dying but not about suicide. my philosophy is an odd one but nonetheless, I'm not bothering with suicide, it seems too contemptful. I'm hoping for an accident which hurts no-one else. ;P

Just write a song about it... it's better than actually doing it.

its interesting that you used the expression 'the final solution', Raff.....
I remember my Austrian Jewish Grandmother using the term to explain why almost her entire ancestry around Salzburg was liquidated during the early '40's...
farbeit from me to attempt to belittle anyone's personal problems, but there is a general trend among some growing up with the economic benefits and political stability of a first world country over the past 40 years, to become too self-indulgent, narcissistic and inward looking, for their own health...
no offence meant toward either Raff, or Andy, whatsoever....

No offence taken, Jared... However, I hope you noticed the quotation marks I used, as I am very well aware of the historical meaning of that expression.
Anyway, I partly agree with the second part of your post, even though you should remember that suicide is very often the result of depression, which is a clinical condition and not something that people get when they have nothing better to do.
