taking your life?

Question

have you ever thought about it and is anyone here who is a little more broadminded and tolerant and actually believes that this is not always the wrong way. i'm not considering doing this, i'd just like to hear your thoughts. and if anyone who is being suicidal's reading this, please stop. i don't want to be a negative influence and remember you are always responsible for your own actions

thanks

Answer 1

It's a temporary state of mind, you can get help to overcome it.

Answer 2

Suicide can be considered in two ways: Someone who is going through extreme emotional issues or other hardships may consider it as a last resort, and that's why that person puts out warning signs. I believe it is a weakness in that respect. That person should really think about the effects their death will have on their family, especially if they have a loving one. Their parents didn't have them just to needlessly lose them later on in life.

On the other hand, I read something about a woman whose father committed suicide. For the longest time she was so angry about it but then one day in a therapy group she learned that some people could be predisposed to it. In fact, it was actually considered a disorder. In other words, for whatever reason, her father's brain physiology was "defective" in some way. I say this because her father seemed like a normal, loving man otherwise. I'm not sure how much water this theory holds, and I can imagine there are many opponents to it. But perhaps there is some truth to it.

Answer 3

This is a subject that alot of people have opinions on but very few have been in the situation where it just seems the easiest solution. I have tried to commit suicide on more then one occasion the sensation that had overwhelmed me at that time was one of despair, and a deep sense of darkness that I could see no way out of......for many people this seems like a good option especially if they don't know where to get help or don't have anyone to turn too. I agree with suicide, and I do have kids, but for some there is no other way of dealing with what life has given them.

It does hurt the family more then say loosing their kids wife hubby whatever in a car accident, but the reality is that it is part of life some people just don't see a way out... I have had a cousin commit suicide I have seen the devestation that it had on our family especially his parents.


Basically it boils down to the person their state of mind, and what has driven them to that point in the first place.

Answer 4

You know the old saying “ Suicide is a permeate solution for a short time problem”
I’ve had two brothers who killed them selves. The pain it leaves on the living loved ones is almost unbearable. A pain they must live with for the rest of their lives.
I was hurt very badly in an attack, almost died and was hospitalized for a month. I will never be the same as I was before. As you can imagine suicidal thoughts have occurred to me on a number of occasions. You might say love is the reason I’m still alive. You see I have two children in their twenties now. And I love them so very much, that there’s nothing in this world worth more to me than their well being. My brother’s suicide showed me the hurt it causes the ones left behind and I would never do that to my children. Let me show an email I received from an old friend of mind, in response to one telling him I was thinking about killing my self. Gerald was my brother.
I’ll need to change a couple of words you understand.

Killing yourself is some kind of cheating. You sort of have an obligation to put up with the sh*t of life. You dont like the party so your going to leave. I miss Gerald a lot thinking about him and his creativity every now and again.. Of cource I also think about your mom and Mac. When we throu cards in port hueneme and broke all odds I figured that was a sign you and I would have to deal with things thru time. Perhaps things didn't work out that way. Than again you never know, so much flows in the river we don't even notice as we paddle around. The river knows what is gong on, we may know the river but we sure don't know what the fu*k is going on over there.

There may be times when suicide is the best thing. Like a person who has a terminal illness and is in a lot of pain, with the approval of all their family members. I just don’t know.

Answer 5

I've thought about it, but it usually is only temporary with me. It'll last a few days, then something will happen and I'll get over it. I have actually attempted suicide three times. I don't think that it's always a totally horribly wrong decision. I do think, that if you are considering it, to just think about it for a while before you do anything. Fully analyze your situation. And if you come to a realization that there is nothing for you, and absolutely no reason for you to be alive, go ahead, but be sure you'll actually die. It's rather embarrassing, as well as annoying for someone to come "save" you, during and after the incident. They watch you and "keep an eye" on you every single day afterward. It'll never end.

Answer 6

Everybody has a moment of thinking that dying might be better than what is happening in their life at that time...but it usually passes. Most cases of suicide happen when people are clinically depressed with no professional help, or they are under the heavy influence of drugs or alcohol. I look back on the times when I was very emotionally distraught and thought of maybe ending it, and I am so glad I didn't follow through, because that cliche of "time heals" is really true...it's just too bad so many people don't make it through. But you think about people that are really suffering and extremley unhappy for a very long time and if they off themselves, it really is their choice and you can't say they're wrong for it...you don't know until you are in someone elses shoes.

Answer 7

i have thought about it and i agree that it's not always the wrong way. suicide is basically giving up on your life-you should only attempt it if your life didn't contribute to society and tried as many good things as you can. you should also live until you're like 30, since when you're 30 you've probably experienced most of what life has to offer and can make better decisions than when you're a teenager or younger. it's always good to think about something that you would want to live for....and try to change things that affect your mood negatively and push you towards suicide. of course, depression is a whole another topic, and you shouldn't even think about suicide if you're depressed, you should get help first. all in all, though, suicide is a good way to go if your life is useless and very bad

Answer 8

Taking yout own life is always the wrong way. People who consider it are very weak minded and depressed and can't see how horrible their thoughts really are. I'm pretty broadminded and tolerant and that's why I am saying this.

Answer 9

I have thought about it, but would never do it. It's not about being sad for me, but more about being impulsive and thinking of the possibilities and consequences of certain actions. I think it's more that I really fear death so I think about how easy it would be to die at certain times more so than wanting to die because I am miserable.

I don't think it is ever the right thing to do, unless you are dying of a terminal illness and suffering from it... or you have lost some sort of function (like being paralyzed) and you don't want to live that way. If you are depressed, you should try to treat your depression... then if there is NO treatment, suicide can be a last option.

Answer 10

I am concerned about you. Life is short as it is so don't race to the finish. The right guy will come your way but you will not recognize him until you have lived long enough to really appreciate him and have become brave enough to spend a lifetime with him. I suggest recalling your memories from when you were a little girl about all the things that you wanted to do and actually make a list and start doing them. It may be tough work but that will make your accomplishment sweeter. Good luck!

Answer 11

I actually believe that some people, "need to be killed" for the betterment of society as a whole. So, I don't suppose it would be a stretch for me to accept an individuals right to commit suicide given a plausible circumstance and after a lengthy, sane and rational contemplation.

No I've never thought of suicide nor do I see it as an option for me personally regardless of circumstance.
