Start by considering this statement:
“Suicide is not chosen; it happens
when pain exceeds
resources for coping with pain.”
That’s all it’s about. You are not a bad person, or crazy, or weak, or flawed, because you feel suicidal. It doesn’t even mean that you really want to die - it only means that you have more pain than you can cope with right now. If I start piling weights on your shoulders, you will eventually collapse if I add enough weights... no matter how much you want to remain standing. Willpower has nothing to do with it.

Suicide is not the answer. Life does not always seem fair, but there is something that can help make it easier, something that can release the stress the pressure Support.
Support is exactly what you need. Friends and Family. Not just the ones that drop by and leave within 15 minutes. I mean real support and sometimes you find real support from real strangers just like you.
Go to a group for example AAA, Church group, a book club for men about really manly like books, anger management group...etc. so on. Life sometimes throw you a fast one, but that does not mean you should cower to the problems that come your way.
God Bless. Love Amen. I don't know your views towards our Father God and his Son Jesus Christ, but I know one thing we can for sure agree on Unity and Love. God Bless again friend and I hope you the best.

God will not understand suicide; only God has the right to take a life; if you take another's life including your own, you will not be redeemed for salvation; there isn't any problem so big that God can't help you handle; he doesn't close a door without opening a window , you have to look; you have to be patient; he hears you always; look at the survivors of Holocaust ; they saw murder, abuse, torture etc and yet the people wanted to live; no other problem is that severe to take a life; there are plenty of people willing to help others; ending it all isn't a solution; whether is b/c of loss of love,money, home etc ; all these things pass and life continues to move on; one day life is one way and all of sudden it changes; prayer is the answer to all things ; suicide is Satan's way of claiming another soul; pray pray pray ; patience patience = change

Suicide is not the way to go. God gave you that life and no one has the right to take it away from you and that includes yourself. You are not the only one who has faced hardships and will not be the last one. Ending your life is not the solution

How will suicide save your mothers life? Do you really think it is God who causes hardships in your life? In my experience,when I made bad choices,my life was hard and I was very unhappy. Now that I make better choices,by learning from my own mistakes, I am very happy. I am strong in the Lord and in the power of His might,not my own.

Please know that Father God is not throwing the hardship your way. Jesus is more than willing to take up those problems is you let Him. And as for suicide, well that just tells Jesus that you are unwilling to trust Him to help you and that you are rejecting Him, so what do you think He will understand?

You poor misguided soul!
God doesn't throw hardships your way, they have come about from the choices you have made.
Make better choices, pray a lot! and you will soon see God helps those who help themselves.
God Bless and Merry Christmas

Apparently, god forgives all sins including suicide and sees all sins as equal including the taking of a life even your own. But this is not the responsible answer and to stop you from commiting suicide one should reply "no if you commit suicide you will go to hell" or that your mother's life can only be saved by jesus and that jesus already commited suicide (as he could have saved himself and didn't bother) therefore there is no need for you to do it.

Yes He will understand your perspective but that does not mean that he condones it!He gave you a gift and do you really think that He
will rejoice in your deed.
Life is not fair. Stuff happens...gross stuff happens and people survive. Think of 911,Katrina, Tsunami etc.
I suggest that you take a little time and begin to watch Global news and documentaries,see human suffering at its very worst.
Remember this happens to all of us (in different magnitudes) at one time or the other.
You need to adapt a positive attitude despite your current circumstances and have faith in Him He always invariably comes through for those that believe!

How about going to Church and seeing what they can do for you?
What you need is good fellowship with people who are understanding... (And believe me, there are a lot of people of different circumstances that go to Church who have been in your shoes also...so, they can definetely "know" what your going through)...
They can help you in so many ways that you wouldnt even guess, plus, prayers are a great help also...
Suicide is "not" the answer, and remember, a commandment says, "Thou shalt not murder"...
And by you taking your own life, its tantamount to murder....
Go seek help first, as the LORD wouldnt put more on you than you can bear, and HE has a great many people who are willing to help you in more ways than you can imagine...If only you would give them a chance...
Please let us know what happens to you..
We care!
I wish you well..
Jesse
