Answer 1

Faithless, I've looked at your other questions, it seems to me that you are unhappy because you're not well. Illness can be treated. Make an appointment to see your doctor and tell him/her you need someone to help you.

You need, one day, to bring it all out; about the scars, feeling scared, and feeling hopeless. There are people out there who can help you, so that you can enjoy life. Please make a doctor's appointment and let someone help you, NOW!!

Best wishes to you.

Answer 2

Yes your life is yours. But life is precious and society have a right to explore further your motives on making such a decision. Firstly, one must ask whether you are sufferring from clinical depression hence your capacity for making such a decision is marred by mental illness. If this is the case then these suicidal ideas need to be addressed.

You need to explore why you want to die? What factors are making you come to such a decision? I believe that if you have a terminal illness and your condition is steadily worsening and the quality of life is poor then assisted euthanasia should be an option.

However, some will have the notion that it is indeed not your life because all life is God given. Therefore, it is indeed not your life to take. This argument for me wears a bit thin and is one that religious loonies try and put forward constantly.

I have had the priviledge of working in pallative care for sometime and have seen many individuals who are at the end of there life here on earth. Some are wanting to die and some feel that they are being short changed out of life.

I hope this invokes some food for thought.

Answer 3

Wanting to die is one thing, I mean, I know I've had that feeling- actually killing oneself is another thing. Some people see suicide as an act of tremendous bravery, others see it as cowardly or selfish. Certainly it will end all your troubles, but is it fair to leave other people to sort them out for you? Don't forget, more people care than you can possibly imagine, so think about to talking to someone.

In short, I'd say it's okay to want to die, it's a part of being alive, it's just if the feeling doesn't fade after a while, it's worth seeking help. A short course of meds won't hurt you...

Answer 4

When you think like that it is not you who would suffer it would the one you leave behind. there should be a place where insurances dont get in the way it is all claim claim claim if you are so desperate go to the samaritons or just visit a place where less fortunate people are or volenteer just to see if your veiw would change. help ing some one else may bring you round.

Yes, your life is yours. But keep in mind that with each new day there is fresh hope. Death is permanent. Think about the people you love and who love you. Please, talk to a professional or someone you trust who can help you get through this period. Don't give up on life.

Everybody has problems, but wanting to die? its a little bit selfish, isn't it?
Try thinking of other people instead of yourself, and maybe seek some help

a cat would be ok not toooo much work and cuddly
