Hello everyone. It’s been awhile since I have logged on. I been dealing with the depression on my own. I have had good and bad days. I tired to talk to a counselor at school about my suicidal thinking, but I was put on a waiting list. I have to wait a whole month before someone will even talk to me. By then I could have killed myself… Just saying.
I have tried praying…
well, now I am here.
what are your thought? Do you think suicide is a selfish way to go? Have you ever heard someone tell you that? People tell me that it’s selfish? But how can it be?? Especially when the pain and hurt is so overwhelming that you can’t control it and suicide seems like the only way out??
idk, what are y’all thoughts. How do you cope when some one judges you because of how you feel about suicide?

Acting like other people owe you their time and/or are your property is selfish too >->
So who do you want to die for at the end of the day? Yourself, or someone else?
If I kill myself, of course I do it because i feel like it’s the only way out. Ok, I could see how it could be consider selfish from another point of view. But what if you decide they would be better off without you too? Or what if you have no one,?
I’m essentially giving everyone the boot beforehand, because I refuse to live with them being unaccepting of me wanting to kill myself…
I have no friends and the only acquaintances I’ve seen in the past couple months that I’ve known for more than two years are my mom, dad, and uncle…but no more than visiting (or rather, being visited) a dozen times in those past couple months…granted I went to visit my mum for a few days, but that’s something I’ve decided to avoid doing anymore.
Give me another year, I’ll have gotten rid of everyone, completely…only 3 left, anyways.
It’s not selfish to hate someones guts for how they feel about you, now is it 😛
I would say it’s more inconsiderate than it is selfish. I mean it would have a terrible effect on the people around you, but then again isn’t it selfish of everyone else to expect that you stay suffering so that they don’t have to suffer? So It’s really the same on both ends. Regardless, I can’t stand when people pull the whole “suicide is selfish” card. It’s getting old, do people honestly believe that saying that will stop someone from killing themself?
Mainly the only thing that’s stopping me from killing myself, is wondering what the future holds. I can’t say for certain it will be good, but I also can’t say for certain it will be bad. But what if the future is great? I’m scared to lose something that I could have had. I also don’t want depression to win either. But if life still sucks 10 years from now, then I’m a goner.
I love that your giving life a chance. Also, I like how you look at it from both ends. So, to me if someone expects me to continue suffering just so they’ll be ok, it could be considered selfish too..
Like u, I really don’t care when people say that. But because I often hear it, I wanted to peoples thought on it…
Thank you
I felt that way 4 years ago…
“if I still have problems when I’m 20, I’ll kill myself!” or “if I still get depressed when im 20, I’ll kill myself!”…
I’m 21 in a couple weeks, and things certainly aren’t getting better…expect to live out your entire miserable life friend; if you have the will to give yourself another 10 years, you’ll most certainly have to fear to make yourself believe you were an idiot for thinking “if life still stucks 10 years from now, I’m a goner!”…
As you guys said already, claiming someone is being selfish can usually be spun to show the original claimant is just as guilty. As far as coping with being called selfish, it never comes up for me because I just don’t talk about how I feel with people. Plus I think I’m just a selfish person regardless of any death wishes I harbor.
Typically, everyone is selfish to a degree, otherwise we’d never do anything we want with out lives and would be slaves that need only be ordered around 😛
So i can’t see selfishness as a completely bad thing…its needed to function properly, its just that overdoing it is what makes it ‘bad’…like anything else out there…
Heck, when i put it that way it doesn’t seem bad at all ^^;
I agree, we each have our own life to live. So maybe being selfish is not all bad… I like your way of thinking.
It’s none of my concern what anyone else thinks.
You make a good point, Scar504.
Personally, I don’t think suicide is selfish.
Most people must have considered the consequences of their suicide, many times over and over.
It’s also one of the reasons why some people fighting to live as well. They are considerate, have thought about their actions carefully and what could happen after they die.
Not to say that people who have already committed suicide are inconsiderate. They might have been in the same position as those who were fighting to live before, but gave up after the long run because they have reached their limit.
I think that people need to realise that what they’re saying has serious implications. I don’t think guilt tripping suicidal people will benefit them in any way at all, other than make them feel worse. During their time of suffering, I think that they should lend their help, support and compassion, rather than making it worse by judging and condemning their thoughts and feelings.
I don’t think it’s selfish otherwise I wouldn’t be killing myself I can’t take it anymore I feel people would be better off without me I just make them worry
