I’m depressed, have been for a number of years, contemplate suicide almost all the time but have never attempted as I wanna be damn sure I get it right first time.
This site however, its just filled with people writing vaguely depressing amateur poetry or bitching about the fact they don’t have a girlfriend. I don’t have a girlfriend, and have abandoned all hope of getting one, but I don’t feel the need to weep to some anonymous basement dwellers to make myself feel better.
I’m sorry if I come across as cold, callous, or just downright rude, perhaps, its because I am all these things. Nonetheless, some of you have real, deep problems which my heart goes out to you for having to cope with. Others just need to man the fuck up, look outside the window once in a while and realise you think your life is bad? Go to fucking Africa, or East Timor, or Zimbabwe, or any number of the majority of countries where people are still dying of diseases we in the West cured decades ago.
I think most of the people on this site need to stop wallowing in self pity, get out there and get some perspective. Life is shit. period. No one can make it any better for you, you have to do that yourself. I’m 22 years old, and to be honest if I lived in the USA where guns are easier to obtain than cheeseburgers, I’m sure I would be dead. Fact is I don’t, so I keep my depressing thoughts to myself, put on a brave face, and go back into my deadend IT job. Perhaps some of you should do the same, instead of feeding off each other’s pity and attempting to write some seriously gay-ass poetry.
And btw, people who are serious about suicide don’t talk to people about it, then don’t approach friends, family, colleagues or counsellors. They just bide their time until it feels right, and then they go and do it. So stop bitching about why your life sucks so much and either change it, or end it. Simples.

People may have lives that seem more harsh, but that isn’t the point. The reason why people dwell on their lives is because to them, it is harsh. Who the fuck gives a fuck about anyone else? Their lives suck, but before you go on and help others and act like your life isn’t harsh, you have to feel good about yourself. You have to Enjoy your life. You can’t just say that people’s lives aren’t bad compared to others. It’s all opinion. There may be people starving, but what about the people who have everything in life but still hate themselves? This post is pointless. I talk to people about suicide and have in fact Attempted it many times. I was unlucky and lived. So before you pass judgement and act like people on here are idiots for trying to get help, trying to help others, or just want someone to hear them before they go, why not shut the fuck up. If you don’t like the posts here or don’t want to hear these people, then simple don’t read them. Don’t post on this website complaining, cause seriously, there is no point.
So please, if you want to just talk trash about posts here, leave (:. No one is making you read them.
I have always found trolling posts like this on any site puzzling. Your point of view in of its self could be considered valid. Its just if you don’t like this site why join it at all. You could’ve simply decided this site isn’t for you and moved on. The poetry on the site admittedly isn’t that great. But its not for you or me its for the individual that posts it. Changing you’re life is easier said than done. If someone whining about their day or posting some vague poem on this site gives a person relief than the site has served its purpose. PS I’m not in anyway attacking you I just genuinely don’t understand what’s so difficult about hitting the x in the top right corner of your browser or typing in a different site.
We’re not here to judge people. Maybe it helps to talk to other people. You should try it, well at least with a little less angst. We’re all stuck on the same chunk of dirt flying through the universe. We’re just another animal on this planet. More of a plauge than anything. Yea the world is shit. No there’s not a damn thing we can do about it, unless you can convince everyone that world peace is a good idea and that goodwill towards mankind actually meant something. Good luck with that. In the meantime, why not just let people live their lives how they want to?
You siad so yourself “Life is shit”
Now here is my question: Why carry on if all we do is for nothing?
We all die in the end, at the end of the game, the King and the Pawn go in the same box.
And by the way, I put on the same stupid fucking face and go out everyday in the world. But, the anonymity of the internet affords people to put out their true feelings. I’m just biding my time. I don’t know when I’m going out but, barring any kind of accidental death, I’m going out in a manner of my own choosing.
I actually agree with you in a lot of ways, although perhaps in a less, “Shut up and deal with it” manner. However, I think your last statement, that people who are serious about suicide don’t go for help, is very true, but it means that all of the people on this site can be SAVED. They can live again. And so can you.
The people on this site are reaching out. They are trying to find help and by writing about it helps. Leave them along and do not judge.
I myself am here to help if needed. I have gone thru the suicide feeling and a lot of the same problems.
If you are not here to help[ or to get support then please just do not say anything. You could actually do more harm.
I understand your angst. It can be hard to relate to people who are going through something that seems easily solvable to you. You mentioned that you’re in IT, so you probably spend a good part of your day finding ways to fix problems. It’s frustrating listening to somebody complain about obstacles that seem easily surmountable.
This site isn’t a private club, any and all are free to voice their opinions. There’s a diverse cross section of humanity that visits this site, anyone from young teenagers to retirees. So when “Suzy dumps Johnny” or “Johnny dumps Suzy”, and the impending need to wallow in self pity ensues, they post to the best of their abilities. We’re all in different stages of our lives. You can’t expect a Hanna Montana to write a post similar to a Greg Graffin.
I didn’t think you were trolling, you just can’t relate to what you consider trivial. Totally get it.
By the way, guns are harder to get now than they were pre-911. Having a gun doesn’t make the choice any easier. It makes choosing the method a no brainer, but laying down and actually pulling the trigger….. that’s a one time ride. There are no do-overs. It’s not a “cry for help”.
I’m a responsible, legally registered gun owner. I haven’t “gone past the point of no return”, but realize that option exists only a few footsteps away.
Peace
Hey dude, I get your so over it. But one thing…
