To those who are thinking of killing thelmselves ….STOP…take a moment to consider the reality of what will happen. Suicide is the single most selfish thing you could do. The pain you feel right now will not be gone, it will simply be transferred to the people you leave behind. They will never have a chance to say “I love you” again, they will never have a chance to give you a hug or a pat on the back for something good you may not have even known you were doing, they will never have a chance to tell you a joke and see your beautiful and unique smile and hear the joy in your laughter, they will never get to learn from the experiences you’ve had or come to see the world through your eyes, they will never have a chance to fight it out with you and maybe come to see your point of view or maybe show you something better. Suicide makes it final, done, finished and someone you leave behind will have to live with it for the rest of their life…wondering why and what they could have done to change things…and missing you…forever. I have both contemplated killing myself and lived through my true love killing himself. I am speaking to you, never think you are alone in what you feel because I feel your pain too.  And everyday I pray for the people who feel like me. Whatever you are experiencing in life right now will change. A wise old Indian once said “Change is change and don’t worry it will change some more.”  Reach out to someone and try to talk to them, even if you dont tell them everything your feeling.  Sometimes it is amazing what one persons words can do. And remember it may be YOU saying the words someone else needs to hear.  Whoever you are, I love you and I am praying for your blessings!

I think it’s more selfish to make someone feel guilty about suicide for your own peace of mind. Some people like this world, others don’t. Why force them?
I am not trying to force anyone to like this world, I dont even like this world! I’m just sharing my own experience from my fiancee shooting himself in the head and seeing what it has done to his family and friends and acquaintences and me. I died the day he died, but I’m stuck here because I can’t bear the thought of putting my kids through what his kids are going through just so I can get out of this life and end my own suffering. And my peace of mind comes from saying what I need to say and knowing that someone out there understands. I appreciate your comment, it makes me think.
Is it more selfish to put others in misery or live in every day in mental agony yourself?
Is it “selfish” of me to want to end my agony being born with devastating birth defects? Is not the real selfish party my parents who conceived me and brought me into this hellish existence for their own pleasure? My parents have done the crime here, not me.
the thing wrong with trying to “save” a suicidal person is by calling their thoughts selfish. it always hits home for anyone who reads it
knowing someone thinks you’re selfish atop whatever feelings they have loaded in their heads would only make the person more upset
i mean.. at least thats my opinion
