Answer 1

I'm not a religious person, so it being a sin I can't answer.

However I prefer to think of life as a means of experiencing things and often toy with the idea that maybe we live many times experiencing different things until we perhaps become some form of super being, like a spirit or something. You say that you have 'messed up' so much in your life, but consider that it may be part of your learning, good or bad.

If you feel you have really experienced everything that you need to in your present form and accept your decision and not using suicide as a means of not coping or are presently affected by some form on mental illness, or even more simply can't use your obvious intelligence to consider that your days and experiences aren't over for you yet, then I wish you well and hope that you come back as a more useful human-being.

Also you don't need to be 'strong' you just need to make a conscious decision to live and actually do something meaningful with your existence. If you choose this course I suggest to you that you would have a great deal to offer other people that feel they have 'messed up' and could invest your time by volunteering your time to a social agency.

Answer 2

Yes, yes, do that and you'll be the talk of the town for a few weeks. The people it will hurt the most is your parents and siblings. I've had a failed suicide attempt, and even up until a point in the summer I was still contemplating it..even when I was pregnant..so I wouldn't have only took my life, a little baby's as well. But now that I'm 7 months along...and know a bit more about how a mother feels about losing her child, it will hurt her the most. So really..if you love your mother or have any feeling for her at all, I would seriously rethink it.

Also, yeah, the world won't stop if you're gone. But you won't get to be here to witness it. The world is a crazy f-----d up place(and will continue to get worse), but it's better to be in it than rotting in the ground, because if there is a hell you won't go directly to it, you'll be in the ground until the world ends, seriously think about the years you would miss getting to make fun of people...or if you wait it out a little bit longer, you could find love, someone to save you from yourself, there are people in the world exactly like you, even a couple of weeks ago I hope I died during childbirth, so people are coping with it, toying with the idea, you can toy with the idea all you want..and there's no full proof plan on attempting this feat either, anyway you want to go you could still survive...jumping off a bridge..you might still make it, taking a bottle of pills (what I did) might just put you in the hospital for a night, shooting yourself...you could still live, I know someone who shot himself in the head and he stayed in the hospital for a few months, but guess what? He's back out walking around enjoying the life he almost took. And I won't say go talk to a counselor or anything like that, because they don't help, antidepressants DO NOT help, they just make you not feel. If you don't wanna feel you might look into those, but seriously, you'd only be taking years from yourself that you might someday enjoy.

Answer 3

A friend of mine committed suicide about 10 years ago. At the time he felt he had no other choice. He was depressed and addicted to drugs. What is so sad is that 10 years on we have all changed so much, what was important back then doesn't matter now. If he'd hung on life would have moved on. He would have found a way. He would have married and had kids and a great life, but he never gave himself the chance.

You won't even make the news. You will cause pain and grief to others but you won't know any of that, you'll just have blackness.

Don't worry about whether or not suicide is a sin. You have bigger worries - like your life ending. Go get help. Talk to your doctor, he or she will take you seriously. Life can be better - just try to stay alive one day at a time for now and things will improve, believe me.

Answer 4

In the end it doesn't matter what anyone else things about you. It is how you look at yourself...and you can never look at yourself with an over critical eye or then life is not as amazing as it can be. Yes you have probably made mistakes, some of the bad some of them worse but mistakes are nothing as long as you try to better yourself. You say you are not strong yet you have talked to so many people and that, in the first place, makes you a strong person. You might even consider talking to a therapist since you could be suffering from depression that isn't even your fault (chemical imbalance) and once that is fixed you can look at life in a new way.

Answer 5

You are taking the easy way out for you, but you will be hurting so many people that do not deserve to be hurt. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Don't be a jerk. There no problems on this earth that can not be resolved. You just have to work at it. Are you just too lazy to do that?

I was where you are now at one time. I thought my whole life was ruined. I attempted suicide, and by the grace of God failed. I got some therapy, and started to work things out little by little. Now I am a very happy person with a whole new wonderful life. I can't ever imagine missing out on all the wonderful things that have happened in the past 10 years.

What you don't realize is that people will not feel sorry for you and want to forgive you. They will hate you. My children were so angry with me. It took a long time for them to forgive me for what I had tried to do. For a couple of years they threw it in my face. They have finally forgiven me, and all is well now.

The key is not to try to change everything in your life at once. Pick two of the most important changes that need to be made. Work on them, then move on to another. If you try to do it all at once, you are most certainly going to fail. It is too overwhelming.

Life is worth living. I am a testament to that!!!!

Answer 6

For what it's worth, I've been there too. The thing to keep in mind is that while you may think things look hopeless, they aren't.

Here's the trick: Everything in life is transitory. Because it's all meaningless, there are no real consequences. Except for death - that is the one thing you can never undo. Unforgivable sin or not, it's just a bad idea, because you have no idea if or when things will turn around.

If nothing else, wait until you're thirty. Then you will have at least lived long enough to confirm that things are bad enough to warrant it.

Good luck!

Answer 7

I mean if you want to burn in hell for eternity then be my guess. I'm going to say this you are very important to someone(s) in this world. So your mor that a drop of water in the ocean. To someone you are the ocean. Taking your own life is an easy way out.

Answer 8

hello whoamireally. well this is tougher than i thought...yes suicide is a sin because you are taking your life which God has given you..Life is beautiful my dear whether you believe it or not. its how you perceived things that would matter and no matter how much the people around you would like to help, they can't do anything because the decision is still yours.. let me tell you something, everybody just like you is messed up in life. even the rich and the famous and all the politicians and celebraties. they just know how to handle things. even the poor and the average people are all messed up in life..you know why? because we all make mistakes and ruin our lives without being aware of it but what we need to do and most people do is to stand up once again after every fall. when we are undergoing a difficult time in our lives we just have to remember what a ball does, it always bounce back everytime it falls on the ground, it doesnt break at all, it just bounce back..everybody has fears including your parents but let that fear be an engine not a brake to stop you from living your life..you know what others would like is to extend their life for a month or even a year just to be with their love ones but can not because they have cancer with no cure at all or its already stage 4 that no amount of medicine could cure them anymore, they just have to wait the time..others need oxygen to breathe but you are lucky because you are healthy and its sad to know that what others envy of you, is the one thing you would like to take it from your system. always remember that even if you have the worst problem in the whole wide world, there would also be people who have endured more pain and hurting than you do..don't look up to the people who are well off than you but look down to those people who are less fortunate than you do..then you will tell yourself thank God for this life...what you are undergoing right now is a conditioning of the mind that you couldnt go on forever because you are not strong or not even not good enough..Remember that God is our creator so therefore if God is good then we his children are good also and if God is love the we are love too...i believe that many people loves you but you dont see it because you don't want to see or even want to feel...you are in a battle with yourself and you have to fight what you believed that you can't do because you can do anything through Christ who stregthens you...If the Lord is with you then you can be against you....you have created a nickname of who am i really? do you want to know?? you are life the force that God have created and you become a child of God, that is who you are whether you accept it or not....try to think things over, don't blame yourself for the bad things happening in your life..accept that this moment has to be this moment alone...
I hope somehow I have enlighten you with this matter..I too once decided to take my life but i tried changing my views and routines in life..and I knew I made the right decision because now i am experiencing the wonders of life so I hope someday you will too...take care always....

Then make your life have meaning. Study to become one of this nation's leader so that your name will live forever. If you succeed you will no longer be but a drop of water in the ocean, you will become your very own sea.
