I hate it when people say “Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem”. That’s total bullshit.
Firstly, life is temporary in itself. If we die, we’re in eternal darkness and have no memory of our life, or even any consciousness. It’s all in vain, all for nothing. If you’re a Christian, then you’d be in heaven with is supposed to be 100 000x better than life, so once again life is nothing compared to death.
Secondly, most people don’t commit suicide because of a temporary problem, it’s a constant mixture of problems that can’t be easily solved at all. Even if it is solved, it takes out a lot of time and money and effort. Then the ‘reward’ wouldn’t be much of a reward anymore. Also, there’s that constant pessemism and fear underlying that takes out everything you do. So, while suicide is ‘permanent’, it’s still a solution and for most of us, a very good one. After all, death is permanent and suicide is no different than being hit by a car or dying of cancer. In fact, it’s a lot better since you know it’s coming, you’re prepared for it and it’s quick and relatively painless.

Suicide not esey way out .It the last resort for most
tiffanyy, I wholly agree with you. Death is always the conclusion to life, and as such there is little reason to live with the pain life brings if there is indeed a ‘solution’.
i agree with enternal darkness but you cant destroy energy and thats all memories are, They go on forever.
It’s not a solution. It’s giving up to be free of suffering.
Memories only go on as long as there’s someone to think about them. They aren’t eternal.
Yes, I agree with this. I mean, say I’m in prison for 3 life sentences and I want to commit suicide. Explain how my problem is temporary…
But yes, I’m on board with this. It’s a means to an end. You’re going to eventually die anyway, so why not spare yourself years of pain and just do it now? If you can find a reason to live, then live, but if not, then do what you need to do. I’ll be leaving in a few months, myself.
I agree I hate it when people say “Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem
I think you should be able to take your own life if thats what you want. Its your life Your body. Nobody else can tell you what to do with it.

It is such a relief to hear someone else express their hatred, which I share, of that stupid saying about suicide being a permanent solution to a temporary problem. ANYONE who says that has not experienced the darknes, terror, even, of living with severe, chronic deperesssion or PTSD with episodes that just continue to get worse.
The thing I hate the most about people saying that is that they are being so fuc#ing condescending and glib. It’s like they see or hear of someone in deep, psychic pain, and instead of trying hard to be compassionate or thoughtful–they just pull that stupid cliche out of their a$$ and lay it on you, like you’re some kind of idiot that doesn’t “get it” that depression is temporary.
It’s the most superficial, annoying response to suicidal people that I’ve seen.
