What Do You Think of Suicide?

I guess I'm weak.

Your friggin joking aren't you??you'd seriously give up your life so your mother can get $400,000,wow talk about having priorities

That's exactly what most people who want to commit suicide believe but it's far from the truth.

Seriously, they don't.

Most people are wrapped up in their own lives, but so are you. That is perfectly natural. What you may need is to do is care about and love yourself first. Also please see a therapist.

Your mother would rather have you than $400,000 I promise. If not, then she isn't worth or deserving of the $400,000. There are other ways to stop being hurt by others. Assertiveness seems incredibly hard to muster for a person who is easily used by others, but it is not such a difficult skill to learn, and I have faith that you have the capacity to learn that skill and also faith that it will change your life to learn that skill. Perhaps you could give it a try by discussing it with a professional who can help you learn it, and if it doesn't work for you in say 6mos or a year, then suicide is still an option at that time.

In other words, you are not keen on dying, you just don't want to continue living the life you are living. Your life is over if you commit suicide. If you go through with it, you miss out on the opportunity to learn how to live happier.

there are 6billion people on the face of the earth. There is not one single thing, person, or idea that "most" of them do care about. However, you don't need "most" people to give a s*** about you. You need "one" person to give a s*** about you. Is there one person you can think of that gives a s*** about you.

Oh, and for the record, life insurance usually has a suicide exclusion. If you commit suicide, your mother will still be broke, she will need to pay for a funeral she apparently can't afford, and she will have to do so without the support of her daughter.

To add to that. If you killed yourself, NO ONE would get the 400K. Life insurance companies WILL NOT pay up if the policy holder committed suicide. So in the end, you will leave your mother heart-broken and no better off financially then she already is.

Someone with mental clarity, DOES NOT think, attempt or plan a suicide.

You think people don't care about you? Don't love you? Wouldn't be hurt if you killed yourself? BULLs***!

Suicide is a VERY selfish thing. You are only thinking of yourself and don't give a rats a** what will happen to those left behind. Someone that is mentally stable, does not think that way.

This post is the best so far. Thank you, Dark. I was suicidal several times in life, but it had more to do with my addiction(s) and not being in my right mind. Clinical depression is VERY REAL....the suggestions on here to seek professional help RIGHT AWAY are excellent. This kind of talk isn't a joke, even on a forum where most things seem to become jokes.....

Very few people ever really gave a damn about me and only one person does now.

I've actually known more people trying to yank out the rug from under me.

I went through severe depression for sixth months and it went away. Reality disassociation set in afterwards - I was no longer discontent and heartbroken but I was still paranoid.

I learned to accept some things and move on.

I carry on for two reasons now:

1. Is to be there for the one and only person who cares about me.

and

2. I hope that there really is an afterlife and revelation and that every one who has ever known me, even in the slightest, get full knowledge and understanding of what this life was like for me.

After everyone truly knows me and see that I toughed it out to the end despite - Then and there is when I plan to end my existence permanently.

The only advice that I can offer is to not passionately, deeply or romantically invest yourself with anyone or this existence - Yet ride out this existence to show it and yourself that you can.

Knowing ultimately that you don't have to be after all is said and done.

I personally feel that life shouldn't be like this and we should have more people we can trust.

But trust me when I say that it isn't you, the few of us, like yourself, who once cared just never had a whole lot to work with.

Then you are surrounding yourself with the wrong people. I think honestly, and this may not even be conscious on your part, that the reason you are posting these things here is because you know this: that if the people in your life are s***ty to you it's because they are the wrong people to be around you. If you weren't wanting help, you wouldn't be asking anyone about this. And that's a good thing. It's good that you're talking about it instead of keeping it hidden, but listen to the answers you get.

I think thoughts of suicide, ranging from fleeting moments to full blown plans on how to do it and everything in between, are much more common than people are willing to admit and that a lot of people who seem perfectly balanced and happy have at least one time had thoughts about it. But those who have those thoughts regularly and don't talk to others about them are the ones who are farther past hope and have a much more difficult time recovering than those who do talk about them.

I agree with Sparklegirl about seeing someone with experience in depression and anxiety and talking these things out with him or her. A professional therapist or psychologist can give you a lot of insight into things you may not even realize are going on with yourself and help you get onto a healthier track. I've been there, and it's worked for me. And there's no shame in it.

Best of luck to you.

The fact that you're still breathing tells me something a little different.

I'll continue that thought and say that if there really isn't one person you can think of that gives a s*** about you, there are some pretty available ways to find at least one who does.

Even this site...I've found some very close friends here who really care about me, and vice versa.

We annoy each other sometimes, Electric, but I'm glad you're still around.
