I have been depressd/anxious for 30 years but I have managed to find some happiness during that time too. I will never be “normal”. I know that sucidal thoughts have many causes, mentall illness, faulty thinking, life experiences or endogenous/ exogenous depression.
But many times people commit sucide because sometimes the pain of life is way too much to handle. Why suffer everyday…why die a slow death everyday? We all die so why not decide for yourself when the right time is? My only cavaet is to really think about the ramifications especially if you are young. Things can change in an instant.
*Please try everything posible to live and strive for a better life via (acceptance that life is not perfect (Buddhism), medication, therapy, exercise, talking to a friend etc.)
To take one’s own life is a VERY big decision but it is not cowardice!

Great post.
Absolutely. Nor is it selfish. It takes a great amount of fortitude to end your life, actually. Some may complete the act in a thoughtless, sloppy manner, but many suicides are well-thought out, sometimes for years.
What’s actually selfish is to assume that someone should suffer endlessly, or to refuse compassion toward those who do experience life as unbearable.
Some lives are simply not worth living.
I do agree with your comment about not killing yourself if you’re young. However, the older you get, the more doors close.
My thoughts exactly. Suicide is not cowardly; bullying someone until they want to commit suicide is cowardly. People who die by suicide do not want to end their lives. They want to end their pain. I really wish that we had more options when it comes to ending our lives. Since I was a kid I always wished those suicide booths in Futurama were real.
Good comments.
suicide is selfish.. it’s never the answer.. get some help.. god loves you blahblah
I quit giving credit to those repetitive, sugarcoated lies or assumptions a while ago
-make it out of here by any means- has become my only purpose ..
f-ck their opinion, f-ck their feelings, f-ck the world = my state of mind
I don’t like that I’ve gotten to this point but it is what it is, there’s no point in trying to deny or repress it
