I'm not suicidal or anything like that but for some reason i think that committing suicide is OK. Does anyone agree with me?
I think suicide is perfectly fine. Suffering in life would have to be the worst thing you have to go through as a human being. Whether it be mental of a physical illness. Sometimes there has to be a line drawn in the sand for some people who believe they are better off dead than alive.
Being someone who has suffered from depression since the age of 15 and now being 31, there have been times where ending it all is better than staying alive and suffering just so other can watch me suffer. They feel there is ways to help me, but medication is the only thing that keeps me alive.
Do I tire of feeling like I do knowing that for 16 years nothing has actually worked? Very much so! I think about suicide everyday.
I think it's very selfish for people to frown upon others for wanting to end their lives. It's not your life and it's not how you feel. Your live is great... good for you! But why keep me alive and suffering because it's taboo to commit suicide?
It's all about quality of life!
It's normal. And suicidals aren't selfish! The pain is just unbearable and there's nothing wrong with them! And they don't die for the attention they commit suicide because they know they'd be forgotten easily and they know life would go on! So stop talking crap about suicidals. Thanks.
I lost my best friend of 17 years to suicide. I'm not judging anyone for their decision, but if you feel that way about, just think things thru. I was on the verge of ending it after I lost her.
I agree. You should have the right to do what you want with your own life.
And whats the point of living if your gonna be miserable anyways?
people live much too long these days. A young death in honor is better than...
I think it's okay too. I know that it can cause allot pain, but be happy for the person being able to find peace. I don't think it's selfish at all. It's understandable.
Commit sucide is a sin you be going to hell, And also if my life is soo depress know what would i do just hit on my head and lose all my memory, And that how i feel now
i disagree.... i think its selfish to commit suicide because there is always people in the world who care about the other people .. and by them killing themself is taking them away from the people who care .... but on the other hand its kinda selfish for the people to care to want u to still be here when ur in so much pain you dont want to live anymore just because they will miss you.. still tho they can always seek help if they are feeling like that
If someone takes their own life they were obviously suffering to end it all. So to believe they do not find peace in the afterlife in most cases is really sad. They killed themselves to get away from everything and if life was truly that unbearable for someone I would not hate them for it. I would feel pity for the fact they wanted to in the first place.
Yes, but make sure it's carefully planned and not for revenge on others - including yourself.
i mean it's that person's choice. isn't it selfish to say someone shouldn't commit suicide? because then it is like you are forcing someone to live life when they are clearly unhappy and feel there is no other way out.
I agree with beka1ici0us. It is such a taboo topic. I feel if someone REALLY doesn't wanna be here on this planet then why should they stay.
Choosing to end your life if you have a terminal illness is one thing. But the people who ended their lives for no other reason but depressed, picked on, whatever. That is ridiculous, why didnt someone who supposedly loved them so much, tell them that feeling bad or being in bad circumstances CAN CHANGE, you can go from nothing to something, you may wake up one day and say I will not be picked on, I will not let them make me want to die. And guess what, some think death is joke, they do because they want their family to feel guilt, to miss them. But guess what, LIFE WILL GO ON WITHOUT YOU, AND YOU CAN BE FORGOTTON!!
Being one who's suffered from depression and attempted suicide in the past, I definitely agree that it is ok. No one fully understands the persistent struggle it takes to keep going on like that. To be stuck in that constant loop, just deciding that you're going to die is a relief, and it's wonderful. However I don't think people should take the decision lightly, because yes it does effect everyone. But when it truly is at that point there's no stopping death. If you don't let them go they're just going to be living an empty life.
I think about suicide several times during each day. It took a long time for me to accept that I think these thoughts. It better to accept that you feel this rather than just try to ignore it.
When I hear of an fatal accident my first thought is always "wow, they got lucky" of coarse I feel bad for the victim and would wish an accident on anyone (but myself).
One of the main reasons I don't actually go through with it is that (A) I wouldn't want to hurt my friends. (B) I wouldn't want to hurt someone else in commiting the act - like jumping and landing on someone and (C) I don't want to leave a mess for some poor cival servant to clean up.
The fact is that I have lost all desire to live. I'm a frustrating case in that I come from a decent family, am in good health, have a great job, I'm very musically talented. That's what makes it so hard for me - I really don't have a REASON to feel this way but yet I do.
I have been on every anti depressant that there is. The side effects are way worse than anything I feel now. I can live (no pun intended) with what I feel better than the meds.
I have been to several therapists and they help and I have hours (not days).
The point I'm making that I get up every morning without the desire to live. It's just not there. That desire has been gone for at least 15 years.
And yet, you find reasons to go on pushing through life. Bravo to you! Oddly enough, your reasons for not going through with the act are the same as mine coupled with (D) I don't want my children to see me like that.
I've been thinking about this a lot lately because someone very close to me recently tried to kill themselves. I have a post about it http://isitnormal.com/story/is-it-normal-to-be-angry-at-someone-who-tried-to-kill-themselves-161562/
Look into absurdism.
I personally think that it's selfish to keep people alive if they honestly have no wish to be here anymore. But I mean like, REALLY don't want to be here anymore. Thinking things through first is a good idea.
Yeah it probably sounds well, I don't f;n know but I reckon if someone wants to go then why not. It is a pitty when it's someone young and it's only over one issue that isn't even really anything much anyway tho, if only they could project forward 10 yrs and realize that.
I don't think most suicidals truly desire to die they just don't know any other way out,and they're unhappy. Its a sad thing to think that somebody was so unhappy that they decided to kill themselves,I couldn't imagine feeling that way. R.I.P to all of them
It's a hard line. Medication always helps and your life can never be that bad that it would be better not to have one.
People should decide what they want to do everyone is always selfish in some ways..
if you die you will go to jail make sure that no one found the body otherwise you will be caught by the cops and u gonna be in trouble...
take a year to find yourself a reason to live, because on its own, life has no meaning, and you will not be remembered
@beka1icious
I totally agree. It always depends on the situation someone is going through, but I think suicide is a horrible thing. It's not just about people missing you, a lot of people who commit suicide have families and children who depend on them and need them in their lives.
The only time i could ever see suicide being okay is if you didn't have any really serious attachments to anyone and you were going to die anyway like from a terminal illness...other than that I think its just wrong! if you are that unhappy with your life, get help!
