Why do people commit suicide?

Question

Have you ever thought of commiting it? Depression? Love?

Answer 1

When we lose hope of ever getting better, or ever being happy again, death is a reasonable solution. I have thought about it often, even tried it once...and I am glad I did not succeed now. It is far more common a thought than many people want to believe. The main cause is depression.

Answer 2

Some people who suffer from depression, etc. believe that the only way out of a 'miserable' existence is to commit suicide.
Although there is help out there, some either dont know how to find it or dont want to find it. Ending ones own life is the ultimate showing of power. They have the final say so about everything.
Other reasons would be; the loss of a loved one, the loss of a job, the stresses of everyday life, etc.

Answer 3

Actually I've thought about it recently and it's really no fun. Gladly I haven't actually tried to kill myself yet but I've thought about it several times. I normally cry myself to sleep just about every night because bad thoughts keep on clouding my mind like "I won't amount to anything", "why should I live if all I do is be depressed all the time and never have any fun", "will anybody miss me if I end up killing myself", "do I even have a purpose in life" and many more thoughts like that.

I'm only 20 years old and I've felt for at least 2 years that I have had no life and if I keep on doing the way I'm doing right now, I'll end up still living in my parents house, broke, being a drunk and nobody around to love me...now what kind of life is that? What kind of example am I setting for my two nephews? That's the only thing that has kept me from doing anything to myself is because I don't want them to grow up and think that their aunt wasn't a sane woman and that she was stupid to kill herself and be a bad example to them.

Answer 4

people commit suicide because they realize that it is the easy way out of their problems. any strong person would deal with their problems and be stronger for it. those who commit suicide accept the choke hold their problems have on them and give up. i have thought of it and tried once. i have since changed my views and now realize that it was the most stupid thing i could ever have done. i was depressed and my life wasn't great.

Answer 5

Usually because they can no longer deal with the pain they experience every single day. It may be pain from grief, love, depression, ect. but it's still pain, and they feel that dying is the only solution.

I've been there before - many times. You feel out of control, overly depressed, and just dissociated from reality. Your mind is on such an overload, you can't think clearly. You basically just feel out of your skin.. like you're about to just lose it. Maybe that's not how it is for everyone, but that's how it was for me.

Answer 6

I've found its the complete feeling of hopelessness.

Suicide or Death is an escape.

Whether its heartbreak or sadness that just pushes you off the edge, notice all the ways people commit suicde is they do it to hurt themselves or cure themselves from their emotional pain.

i.e.
Taking lots of pain killers
Bleeding out
Drowning.

I've thought about it and I've had a couple of friends try.
They just want to give up because Life sometimes feels like a one way street... and you hit a brick wall.

Answer 7

yes. i still have scars on my left wrist. People like me are thoroughly and overly provoked and just impulsively slash my wrist. at that moment, no pain at all, really, i am numb even though the blood are scattered on the floor with my tears. i was calmed down by family members and that's when i feel the pain and i tell you, ITS DAMN PAIN. the after work was worse when i have to clean my wound every day and live with the pain until the wound heal and the scar just stays forever. it acts as an constant remeinder to my own act and never to do it again. I did it because of my family conflict and it still hurts but i get over it. i should thanks god i survived and alive to share this with u. IT really takes tons of courage to kill urself and minutes to die and leave u no chance to regret.

Answer 8

Reason:
Because, they have nothing to lose, and they feel that it won't affect anyone, becuz if it would affect someone, then they would be talking to them instead of cutting off their life.

or

it could be like, being surrounded by many and being alone.

or

feeling that they ruined someone else's life/family that they can only be relieved from the guilt if they kill themselves.

and its possible to have accidental suicides...so depression, and hate, aren't always the explanations.

I have never thought of commiting suicide...for one i wouldn't give all my enemies the satisfaction, my fake family the oppurtinity to act like they care, and even if i did, most likely i wouldn't being able to kill myself.

Answer 9

The people who want to commit suicide, is because they feel alone, and/or dont feel worth living. Maby something happend like their in bankrupted. Its everything they feel like killing there self.

Answer 10
