What do you think??

Question

What do you think about people who commit suicide?? Do you think that it is selfish?? What would you do if someone you loved did it??

Answer 1

Its tragic & painful when someone we love do it. People commit suicide mostly because of depression, incapability of dealing things in the right way & weak mental state (drug addicts, maniac). I dont say its selfish, at the moment ppl dont thing bout the consequence of their actions & the ppl who loves them. For some its an impulse & for some, they plan it, they think suicide is the only way to get out of situation they are in or ending themselfs will end whatever they dont want to deal.This is happening because they dont open up & talk to friends or family. Its a great thing to know there is someone to take care of us & share things whatever the matter is, if so things wont get hard. If things are really worst pick up the ph & make appointment with Dr. Theres nothing time cant heal.

Answer 2

Sometimes I think it is selfish but most of the time I realize it isn't. I have been there, tried it and thankfully failed. I don't think I was being selfish when I tried though. For me it seemed at the time to be the only way out of a bad situation and i honestly believed that everyone else would be better off without me. I think it is tragic when someone commits suicide. I have lost three people I care about this way and it still haunts me. I hate that anyone has to feel in that much pain, that suicide seems like the best option. All I can do now is hope that those who have gone this way have finally found the peace they needed.

Answer 3

I've struggled with depression for over 40yrs and can understand the pain.
My chronic depression, strange though it may seem, makes me less selfish. By that, I mean that I try not to make others unhappy-trouble is, I fail, a lot of the time because depression would take a hold.
If you're reading this, then you'd say, "hey this guy needs treatment! " I was on med on and off but none of the med I was on helped and I've come to the realisation that I have to accept myself.
With acceptance,I was able to, with my husband's help, bring up two daughters-one is a teacher and the other a sub-editor and we have two wonderful grandchildren.
If someone I loved decided to end life this way, I would not be condemning. I would question and learn why and since I'm alive I would want to make amendments.
Why? If I were to do that, there'd be no 'domino effect!'
Suicide is never right ultimately.
Regards, pat.

Answer 4

Suicide is not selfish, it has a singular cost that each must decide if they are willing to pay. I get so annoyed at the selfish argument. Could it not be equally put that the loved ones, who ever this mysterious group are, had their chance and blew it.
For goodness sake, I can only assume a lot of you have lived sheltered, safe lives, and thats great, but hold back on the judgment please. Suicide is not a valid solution for transient difficulties in life, like school or gf/bf issues, but there are heaps more things than those to pull you down. Heck some people don't ever get up, to be pulled down. Save the self satisfying judgment of blaming the victim, its so very old

Answer 5

Emo's rock? I disagree...

I don't know. I've been suicidal, and your state of mind is totally and 100% warped when you get that way and you're serious about it. It isn't possible to be selfish or brave because you can't think clearly- or at all. People who think differently are wrong because they don't know any better.
If somebody I knew did it, I'd be torn up- depending on who it was. I know that when somebody is suicidal they sometimes show such disinterest in life before hand that sometimes relatives feel a combination of grieving and being relieved. So it really depends on the situation. I know I'd be upset no matter what, but I'm understanding of it, so maybe I'd be a little better off than some.

Answer 6

People who commit suicide are suffering from mental illness. No, I don't think it is selfishness. If someone I love commit suicide, may be I will feel guilty because one way or the other, I failed to help him/her during his/her time of need.

Answer 7

When i was 14, my father committed suicide. I barely knew him, but it was very difficult to deal with-so I didn't. Then when I was 23 and a mother to 3 young boys, my boyfriend hung himself in front of me-after walking out of a court house and beating the crap out of me. I then turned to alcohol and men. Shortly there after, I found cocaine and used it to fill the holes inside me. Over the next 10 years I used and abused myself to the point of separation then eventually divorce. During this process I tried several times to kill myself. For whatever reason, I was unsuccessful.

Your question- is suicide selfish? NO, I believe people who actually succeed are/were so desperate at that time-they were supposed to die. Emotional pain is worse than any other kind of pain any individual will ever experience. Until another walks in the shoes of people who kill themselves, they are not able to judge what they have done.
Do those of us who are close to the person who killed themselves survive? Some of us do- some don't and some, like me- get lost for a very long time.

Answer 8

suicide is a very big problem and the people who comit suicide are not thinking clearly and people who are thinking of commiting suicide need a lot of help. And the do suffer from mental illness of some sort or another. I was suicideal until I asked God for help and now i am not.

Answer 9

It's tragic. They are tragic. But in a way they are selfish. But, you have to know that they need help, whether they know it or not. They don't need to end their life to fix things... it doesn't actually fix anything, just makes it harder for everyone around them. If you know someone or are someone contemplating suicide, get help. Call the hotlines available in most countries, talk to parents, friends, doctors. Suicide is not an answer to anything.

Answer 10

It is a diseased mind, a sudden impulse drives one to commit suicide. It is because he/shebelie3ves he has been cheated and let alone for himself. Such persons need good councelling. Sometimes, the action of another drives one to ciommit it. It is sad.

I had such experience but think the case comes ubnder 'driven to commit' suicide.
