is suicide really an option?

Question

with no friends and no one to count on should suicide really be an option???

Answer 1

An option is an option. Do you know of some way to prevent suicide from being an option?

Answer 2

My feeling is that suicide is always an option, just like not commiting suicide is always an option but suicide is never a good option. You have to choose to live here for yourself not for someone else, you are a part of people's lives even if you don't know it. Living life is more than friends and family, it is about making every day be a good day. Maybe you need a pet, something that relys on you that way you have something.

Answer 3

It might only seem like an option but not one that allows you to exercise the whole ranger of choices you'd be aware of having if you remain alive to realize every other possibility you could choose. Most suicidal people experience peaks and valleys in their decision to do away with themselves. Sometimes something as simple as having a supportive conversation with someone helps them change their mind (even if talk is about something else!) or at least postpone what they feel is an impending suicide, which might not be as impending as it eventually turns out to be. If you want a briefer, straighter answer, suicide is irreversible and involves uncertainty. The only thing you know is that you "might" not feel or feel the same way afterwards, but you don't know just how'd you'd feel. It's uncharted territory you enter. And that's leaving God out of the equation. For someone who does believe in God, if they really believe and trust the teachings of their religion, then they believe they'd be held accountable in some way. It may not be fun or much of a solution on the other side.

Answer 4

Look, I've been there, done that....trying suicide does not make anything better. Don't assume you have no one that cares about you. Yes, I know what it's like to feel like you have no friends and no one to count on. I've never had a real family, I was bounced around from foster home to boarding school to foster home to married to an abusive husband to boarding home and finally, after two stays in a halfway house...to independent living..I learned that the world is sometimes depressing but it's not worth killing myself over. I've met a lot of good people in the last fifteen years, people who care about me. I go to counseling and am stable on psych meds and an antidepressant. I am attending community college. I live in a nice condominium with a good housemate who I've been best friends with since 1987..I even have a cat.
Honestly, suicide is a cry for help. And you end up hurting a lot of people, people that care for you such as your family.

Answer 5

no, suicide is not an option, it's an attempt to hide from a situation that most likely will end bad, meaning you die, or you get hurt from it, like living in a wheelchair or something for the rest of your life. You just don't' see the good side to it anymore at the moment, but suicide is murder. Stay here and find another way.

Answer 6

Suicide is always an option but do you know whats harder thank dying? Correct Living.
So Pick up boot straps, chin up Honey learn to live for the challenges it will keep you going. One little step at a time. Some days it 2 steps forward and one step back but you are still one step ahead right? Have a really good day, I'm Sending you rainbows and sunshine:-)

Answer 7

Of course it's an option. That said, I don't believe it's an option anyone should ever exercise, even though most people have felt like ending their lives at one time or another.

You know, support from family and/or friends is great, but what we really need to do is learn to count on OURSELVES. Even with support, they can only do so much.

Answer 8

i guess it depends on what you believe in..i mean if you are a true believer of god then probably no because god does not like people to take away the life he gave them but if you are a person who is an atheist or a believer of extisim ( i don't know how to spell this right) then i guess it totally up to you because if you believe in atheist then there is no meaning to life any way and since some ones is not turning out good any way so why not stop the suffering? and if you believe in extism then its up to you too even though they believe that life has no meaning, no certainty or absolute but we create meaning our self's....one of the famous quotes i luv " have you really found some thing to live for or to die for, i have" i forgot the guys name but you create your meaning of live your self and may be for some reason you don't think its good right now but future is not absolute nothing is. you make your own and you can make it better. i am not trying to sound all suicide hot-line person but i have been reading a lot of literature and stuff and in most it comes down to your choice would you really end you life because you have no friends because in the end every one is for them self's. for example of you went to jail would Ur "friends" help you out and take the blame? or save your life if you were drowning and there was a slight chance that you might make them drown too....so in the end its every one for them self's and after all friends only last till high school after that its only colleague's that you work with.

Answer 9

NONONONONONONONONONONO!!!!!! Every day is a blank canvas. Paint what you want. Suicide it an easy out for anyone that does it. UNFORTUNATELY, they do not realize how many people do love and care about them, because they don't get see their own funeral. Open the phone book first page Suicide hotline. CALL. Call a friend and tell them how you are feeling. I love ya for asking! It only hurts everyone else, and I'm not highly religious, but think you will go to hell for taking you life, you are stronger than that. Think about what you want to paint tomorrow!

Answer 10

Of course it is an option, any action is an option. It is more a matter of if its the best option. In which case I would tend to think in most circumstances it is probably not, it is simply the easiest option.
