I once asked my friend what he thought about suicide.He told me “suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem”, he told me it was gutless and a cowardly thing to do.
I think it’s the bravest thing anybody could ever do. To end your life and welcome death and look him straight in the eye, i think it’s the bravest thing anybody could ever achieve.
I’ve thought about it, many times, I don’t think there is a person who hasn’t had the thought of ending it all cross their mind in their entire lifetime. I am new to this site but already it’s helping me, every time I look up suicide millions of websites come up with the same old rubbish about self help and numbers you can call. That’s not what I want, I need to talk about it, to see if it’s the right decision to do.
To end you’re life is an awfully courageous thing to do and I do not think any less of anyone who is suicidal, nor do I feel sorry for them, In a way I almost feel envious that they know what they have to do.
I guess what I’m trying to say is
I’m lost.

Don’t let anyone convince you that you aren’t in charge of your own life. If dying is what you truly want then that’s your decision to make, but understand the severity of what you’re doing. It’s not like taking a bite out of a food you’ve never tried before to see if you like it, you can’t undo death.
If you’re lost talk to someone; think about your prospects. What life has to offer you and if you really think that death is the only way. If you wana chat i’d be happy to hear your story.
I can relate to the common state of ambivalence many suicidal people experience when trying to decide whether death is the right answer for their circumstances.
Yes, I also understand the envy one can feel when they can see someone who knows what they want and seeks it out, even if it’s a person that knows suicide is the answer for them and goes for it.
in my opinion I think whether a person has been suicidal for years or has recently decided to contemplate suicide I think ambivalence is a common stage that mostly all suicidal people experience.
Shit I have been suicidal for years and knowing and evaluating all my pros and cons in my life I still can’t make heads or tails on whether or not I am definitely going to try to live or am I definitely going to commit suicide ………..go figure.
If u want to chat email or hit me up on IM
I’ve heard the same argument being used by those trying to argue against divorce.
I think in some ways, it’s braver to divorce than it is to stay in an unsatisfying marriage. For one party to come out and admit that it’s just not working takes some courage. There is a lot at stake in this scenario too; not loss of life, but there is still the risk of losing assets and children. But, conventional wisdom will say that divorce is the coward’s way out, just like suicide allegedly is.
I feel cowardly for not actually going through with suicide yet.
Yes, it requires a lot of bravery to suicide. But if it is really the bravest action, shouldn’t it be easier just to choose to face life instead? It appears that both actions are brave, sometimes one braver than another. Either way, a suicidal is not a coward!
