What if you're so tired and exhausted and want it all to stop!? Isn't this an acceptable reason for suicide?

Answer 1

no think of your family your loved ones and mates sounds crazy but the only way is up now since you are down take it a day at a time

Answer 2

Well, obviously you are not thinking clearly,"Thinker". Stop, close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and clear your mind. "I think therefore I am ". I have to think that there is something in your life worth living for! If you really can't think of anything then find something, we have to make our own happiness, it's not up to anyone else to make us happy. You can volunteer your extra time, everyone has some extra time, it's all about managing it. You do not say why you are tired and exhausted? We all get tired and exhausted, it's about having constructive thoughts or destructive thoughts. There is no acceptable reason for suicide, I want you to live, I care if you live, stay alive and "LIVE" each day to the best of your ability. God Bless!!

Answer 3

You're the only one who can decide if it's "acceptable" or not.

Besides, you don't give any details. What is making you tired and exhausted? Can you remove those things from your life? When I get like that, I make a list of ALL my options.

Make a list, and start with "suicide" at the top of the list. Then write down all the other options you can think of. Then start crossing off the ones that are not good options, hopefully the first one to go will be "suicide." Then narrow down the list to the top three best options. From there, pick the best one.

C'mon - your screen name is "THINKER" - so THINK!

Love, Jack.

I don't think so, THINKER - I don't think being so tired and exhausted are acceptable reasons for suicide!! I don't think it could ever be justified. Life can be very, very unbearable, and 'ending' it does seem the easier way out, but think about the pain it would bring to those who know and love you, and what about the life you would miss out on. You know, meeting that one person you will meet, marry and grow old with one day; seeing your son or daughter being born and growing up, learning to talk or even holding them for the first time. It's the beautiful (yet simplest) things like these that can drive us on to want more in life. It is very precious to us and even you, even though it may not seem so now. You will need help to rediscover this, by first tackling what it is that is troubling or bothering you. Admitting that you need help is the first and probably biggest step, finding it will follow - there is a lot of help out there. It is just a mere question of wanting it. Can anyone help you at all, with anything? It can be anything, but do rest assure that someone cares enough to help you - however small, big or complex the problem is!! Would talking about it help? Sharing your thoughts is a truly wonderful thing, and help to ease the pressure on yourself.

I know exactly what you are saying though, I feel the same. Life in the last couple of years has been absolutely **** for me - what I'm doing doesn't seem good enough, and in turn, I'm thinking whether or not I'll ever be good for anything. I'm smiling on the outside, but I'm sad, crying and hurt on the inside. My eyes tell of the pain, the hatred and anger I have inside me, and I'll be honest I'm a lost soul. I have tortured myself to the point where I am exhausted and so tired I can't go on. But what keeps me going is that we can overcome these obstacles however big or difficult they may be. There is a life out there worth living, and you will find it. It is a journey, but a rewarding one. This will no doubt bring some highs, and a lot of lows, but it's these low points that make us all the more glad to have the highs, and appreciate them when we get them. You may not at this moment in time place any value or worth on your life, but I'm more than sure someone around you, a close friend or family, does. And nothing could ever make up for such loss, if you were to do what you are thinking.

Seek help and you will find it. And when you do get it, take your time, you owe this to yourself and your loved ones to do so. This has probably been a lot of waffle to you, but I hope this has made some sense to you. You may not think you're worth anything to yourself, but you will certainly be to someone else. Take what you need from all the other replies, because there is a lot of truth in all of them. And do remember that there have been many people out there that have overcome their problems and have become all the more stronger for it, and this in itself is very rewarding. And it can be for YOU too. All the best to you, and do take care.

Answer 5

There are so many medical reasons for being tired and exhausted, that are relatively simple to fix, that, while wanting it to stop is acceptable, suicide never is.

The only acceptable reason for suicide in my book is unrelenting, unfixable physical (not mental) pain, not just mild suffering.

However, I don't mean to be preachy. I do want to let you know I have been where you are, and have found joy in life again. Your tiredness and exhaustion may be due to a blood sugar imbalance called hypoglycemia. If so, it is relatively easily fixable by learning what foods to eat in what proportions. In 2 weeks, you could be feeling less tired, and finding more joy in life.

Answer 6

I think there are many reasons to view suicide as acceptable - it should be remembered that in many ancient cultures suicide was often considered an honourable end to a life which had run its natural course or come to some point beyond which continuing to live would have brought shame or dishonour. I personally do not subscribe to the 'life at any price' attitude prevalent in modern (western) society. Death is an inescapable fact - it is illogical to fear it - and choosing the time of our death may be considered to be one of the last great freedoms still left us.

Answer 7

If you want it to stop, take a break. Don't take your life. There has to be someone you care about and think about how messed up their life would be afterwards. We tend to think suicide will fix our problems and everything will be better, but that's not how it works. A lot of people are affected and it creates problems for others.

Relax for a while. Go somewhere. The mountains. The spa. Some sort of adventure resort where they don't have television or phones. Get back in touch with yourself, nature, friends, and family. Be strong and pull through. If you need to, talk to a counselor or a doctor.

Answer 8

nope. Things might seem better in a little while.....why not go to a movie or play a computer game?? I know this sounds bland, but life is really about little things and day to day activities. Take one day at a time and learn to do things for yourself that you enjoy as well as doing things to help others.
"Your Best Life Now" by Joel Osteen is a very helpful book. Check it out of the library or buy a copy on an auction site.
I hope you feel better soon! Hang in there, ok?

Answer 9

No. The only acceptable reason for suicide is "I'm a selfish person who wants to inflict a lifetime of grief and misery on my family". Anything else, you can get help, make changes to your life, try and move on from whatever is hurting you. Hurting others is not a good way out.

Answer 10

if you are really unhappy about what is happening in your life, i would suggest to change your life, as much as you can. I think so many people had those moments you are having right now, and yet, when they have dealt with them, after some time they look back and think: "I am a warrior! I have been through so much sh** and yet here I am, stronger and happier. "
