I recently heard of a very successful doctor (wife,preteen and teen kids) who jumped off the 8th floor of the building he lived in at noon. One of his kids came across the scene coming back from school. I think it's mean and selfish to do this and bother everyone elses' lives with the blocking of the avenue and expose his family to it. s it normal that people don't consider their love one's feelings? Is it acceptable to do this?

    Yes, it is selfish.

    But.

    People who commit suicide are not in a healthy frame of mind. They are usually in such an extreme amount of physical, emotional or mental pain, that they feel there is no alternative.

    Do you really think anyone of sound mind chooses to kill themselves?

    Yes, it is beyond shit for those of us left behind. But we can barely comprehend what the person who killed themself was going through when they chose to do what they did.

    When somebody is that desperate they often don't stop to think about anything else.
    This could have been a split second impulse rather than a thought out plan. We'll never know what went through his head but he obviously saw no other way out. That doesn't make it okay, it may be selfish but when you're in that frame of mind you don't stop to think, or you're trying to stop the thinking.

    I think it's incredibly selfish, coming from someone diagnosed w/ bipolar who goes through suicidal phases. I just don't understand why people would want to traumatize strangers like that.

      Exactly. This post proves that the suffering person was surrounded by people who only care about themselves anyway, so who gives a shit?

      OP is normal though. It sucks for the family, but who cares about the strangers?

    It sounds like you are quite ignorant about depression and suicide. If someone is in the mindset that he or she doesn't want to live anymore I don't think that person is gonna give a fuck whether or not killing him or herself is rude, selfish or inconvenient for other people!

    I don't think it's okay for someone to commit suicide, because I think that person's life is precious. I would never feel right saying that suicide is selfish, because I know what it's like to not want to continue to exist. When I am on that razor's edge the last fucking thing I need to hear is someone bitching about how selfish I am. If I'm in a place where I don't want to live I don't give a fuck about the ignorant, and entitled people who don't care to be inconvenienced by the end of my suffering. I do have two living parents, and a sister, but I can honestly say with no regret that I never have, and never will think of how it will ever affect them if I find myself ever feeling suicidal again. I have tried to kill myself three times, and I'm grateful to God that I have not succeeded.

    I honestly don't think that people who have never felt suicidal themselves should not openly judge those who struggle, sometimes on a daily basis, to not kill themselves.

    If you personally are feeling angry and struggling with grief, because someone you know has killed him or herself then perhaps what you truly need to do is to find a bereavement support group to help you deal with your grief.
