People say suicide is selfish because of all the people it hurts. Well I want to know how those who care expecting me to endure the pain that is my life is not selfish on their part. Do they not believe the extent or severity of the pain in my life? There has to be a point that they understand I have no hope or will to live another and that without ending my life I am suffering far more than they will endure from my absence. This theory, or social convention, or whatever it is is bullshit. Suicide is my choice and if anyone really cared about me they would help me not hinder me.

It is selfish of them to want you to stay alive for them ‘just because..’.
Suicide does hurt people yes, but that is inevitable. Of course they may just be saying that because they want you to be alive for their “benefit”. If they don’t believe your pain, well, that’s what i haven’t told people outside of this website. They would judge me too… All pain is pain. Your pain is not less valid than others pain. They wouldn’t say to someone with cancer to ‘get over it’, for example. Though i don’t know if they said such things to you. Are you seeing a psychiatrist? Are you on medication?
Also is there anyone else who might try to help and understand you or have you tried them all.
myself i am in pain and i want to be dead, dont want to be a vegetable or brain damaged though. Off button and i would have been gone 🙂 i dont see the point in life.
I have been admitted to mental hospitals 3 times for attempted suicides, just can’t seem to get it right I guess. I have been on just about every medication available. I have been through around 17 therapists/counselors/psychiatrists/psychologists between age 9 and 27. I certainly feel like I have tried it all.
Sorry to hear this. I dont know what to say. Maybe life isn’t for you. Life sure isn’t for me. But i really don’t know what to say
Also if my comment comes across as ‘life isn’t for you, so its better to die..’. Well i don’t want people to die. I don’t want you to die. I dont encourage suicide. But there is nothing wrong with someone if life isn’t for them. We didn’t ask to be born
I am currently in a mental hospital in the uk using a fone i smuggled in. lots to say but dont know where to say it
IM sorry but i understand. I have been driven there by others actions and now i live a very paranoid and sad life. I hope you feel better as everyday i wish to wake to a beautiful dream but it is a nightmare that i arise to. I often feel like Im living for others and not really myself. Dont know what to do.
I just want the suffering to end, I have made a great life for myself after growing up in poverty and I’m still just not ok. That’s the most awful thing about it is people just don’t get that things can be going okay in your life in some regards but it’s still hell to be alive. Living with depression isn’t living so why bother? I’m pretty set on what I going to do I just need to wait for the right opportunity as I was admitted to a hospital about two and a half months ago for a suicide attempt so now everyone is on me like hawks keeping everything out of reach. It’s just a matter of time, someone will slip up.
