Is it really selfish to kill oneself because you’ve had a lifetime of misery? Why is it ok to force someone to withstand many numerous years of unending misery to save a few people a few days or weeks of pain? I am a suicide survivor myself. I was 15 when my mother took her own life, and yes, I have remained angry with her for the last 13 years, but that was different. She had a 15 year old child and a 6 year old child she was responsible for. I have no children whatsoever, and don’t intend to have any. I recently tried to save someone special. An ex, whom I am still in love with, and I showed her PROOF that her current S/O is not only cheating on her but also USING her and she doesn’t seem to care. So I was sure I wanted to just say goodbye, but as soon as I did I couldn’t take the pain. I sliced up my arm pretty bad and couldn’t stop crying. I am NOT a liar and she knows it, but nobody wants to believe my truth. I recently came into possession of my mother’s belongings, and happened to have the.note she left. And honestly, I feel EXACTLY the same. I am so tired of messing up everything I do. Everyone I come into contact with’s lives. I am 28 years old and have NEVER been able to do anything right. I think it would be me doing everyone a favor if I just ended it now. Hell my so called friends who claim to care don’t even have time to be there for me when I need them. I think I need to just do everyone a favor and exit. Stage right. Everyone thinks it is selfish. I think it is a favor.

Hi Siren, My beliefs are that i do not believe it is selfish if you have tied up all your loose ends before hand. I’m sure it’s close to 99% of the people in this world agree that it’s selfish however like an old guy told me when i was a kid “unless you are like them you’ll never understand”. I truly believe that. the reason i understand how your thinking is because we think alike, hence why we are on teh same site. I’ve tried to exit many times, more times than i care to say or others care to know. Trying to help people to me helps me somewhat, i know not everybody is willing to accept what i say but we are all enititled to our own opinions and thats all i give. I’m not out to tell anybody not to because i would the minute i got the chance that i knew would work. I belive that if you truly are ready to exit than that choice is up to you. My only advise is to make sure you plan, a good plan. you dont want to come back as a vegetable stuck in a body remembering your past not being able to do anything about it. Best of luck to you, Think positive, Stay strong and hold your head high. ig you ever want to chat message me on FB. same name as here. take care
