    Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

    I think at one time or another, every adult has considered it. If you aren't an adult, then you haven't had enough good, or bad, times in your life to have enough experience to consider it seriously. If you aren't the star quarterback on the football team, or head cheerleader, then things will get better, after you get out of school.

    Good morning, dont cop out.
    You crawled from the cancer to land on your feet.
    Youre crazy to want this, even for a while.
    Were making this shit up,
    The reasons for being are easy to pay.
    You cant remember the others
    they just kind of went away.

    I think of it 24/7, so it's normal to me.

    I think it is in general, especially if the person has a good reason. I have no sympathy towards those who want to kill themselves for silly reasons.

    Yes it is normal. Is it a smart idea no. It's a permanent solution for temporary problem. Talking to a friend always helps with dealing with it.

    By definition, I know how you feel. Sometimes it feels like finding a way out isn't even worth the effort. But guess what? I'm atheist. Therefore, I'm going to have to say, no, don't kill yourself. As far as anyone knows, you're not going to wake up at any pearly gates only to be told you're going to Hell (logic, people). You're not going to "wake up" at all. When you die, you simply won't exist. Oblivion is a much scarier thought than facing the pain of everyday life. Existing, despite the pain, is very much a known struggle. Not existing, oblivion, is terrifyingly unknown. Think about it. I'm sure you'll know what to do, or in this case, what not to do.
    I'm talking about what death would be like from your point of view, because suicidal thoughts are traumatic enough in and of themselves that, at this point, you're probably not spending your hours pondering on the emotions of the loved ones you'd leave behind. No matter how blindingly, infuriatingly intrusive the world is (I speak from my own experience, yours is probably different), it has the potential to be a beautiful place. As RoseIsabella commented, it's temporarily unbearable, but it *does get better*.
    But only if you give it the chance.

    I'm not sure if it's normal or not but I've had the desire to kill myself too and I still contemplate it at times. Not because I'm depressed persay but because of other reasons (I won't bore you with the details, though). Maybe you just need to talk to someone? Don't get me wrong: I'm in full support of those that believe suicide is the only solution to their problems (like if they're too sick or injured to go on or they're simply just tired of life), but it's probably better to improve current conditions before undertaking suicide.

    Why does my comment keep disappearing? Is it a bug on this site? Everytime I come back to this page it's gone. This isn't the first time it happened. Management, if you read this, please fix it. Thank you.

    Does it matter if it's normal?

  • Yes, at least in my world, but it is not a good thing.
