Yea you have to experience being suicidal to understand the thought process. Depression and stress affects everyone different. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. So yes please help anyone you feel is down, because depression is real. Sorry for your loss
I know ppl say suicide is dumb, or cowardly, but until you've been in that position, or dealt with a suicide, you can't judge. You have no idea what that person was going through, or how they felt. For some people, things may seem so bad, so hopeless...Suicide may have felt like the only choice they had. As for therapy, people seriously considering suicide are often too ashamed that they let things get so bad, or they feel no one can help them, and won't seek help. Please don't judge this persons friend as NONE of us knew what going on in his/her head. I sincerely feel for you and my deepest condolences for your loss.
Thank you Brit, for your wall message and sincere support. I know none of this was my fault, but nonetheless, I can't help feeling that I could've seen what I should have earlier on. I guess the regret really never goes away, huh? And, I want to offer you also my sincere condolences since you lost two people for the same reasons. Now, I can fully understand your pain. Of course, the one's who're left will always be scarred by this tragedy, but I'm pretty sure that he would want us to move on. He will always be remembered, not as the guy who committed suicide, but as a person who loves a great laugh and made the best out of all of us who has the great honor to meet him.
Stop trolling on a serious thread . OP is trying to make a good point, that suicide devastates those left behind. I'm sorry for your loss coco. I lost my cousin to suicide. He argued with his girlfriend who suggested he stood in front of a train. He walked in front of the next one that came past.
Sorry for your lost... ppl have to remember suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem...
If you were referring to me Casper I'm not trolling.... All my thoughts are with Coco's friend. I'm just expressing my views about suicide and how it should never be the answer.
Glenn, you can't understand why people commit suicide unless you've been suicidal yourself. I never considered suicide, but I did go through minor depression. I felt a glimpse of the torture it must be. Yes, torture. There is no better way to describe it. When people are depressed, they are unable to make rational decisions.
The way I see it, suicidal people have this "disease" like a mental illness. If someone dies from cancer you don't go, oh they are so selfish for dying. Suicide is the same way it's not a selfish act they just can't see a way around it.
Unicorn, that disease is called depression. And suicide is not selfish. Nor is it dumb. But it's not generous or intelligent. Suicide happens when someone see no end to the darkness in their life. Do you know how it feels to be trapped in a little dark place, just like a coffin? It makes you want to be in a real coffin.
Suicide is in a way a selfish act, but I sadly.. I've been in the attempter's shoes. I've made a attempt of suicide. But, failed. Suicide isn't a great choice, you can always get out of a bad situation with guidance.
Sorry, but having a family member die of suicide isn't very generous. I was saying it was selfish because everyone who loves you becomes very sad, and you commiting suicide may start a chain reaction.
To people who have depression and have suicidal thoughts, they can't seem to get around it. Many times I have had those days where as soon as I get home I go in my room with all the lights off and just break down crying, I can't seem to be able to tell anyone in person how I feel.
