Been reading that the problem with the suicide is that the person feels more pain than they can cope with. But I don’t feel pain anymore. I’m just tired. EXHAUSTED. Everything in my life is loss and debts and failures and panic attacks and I’m tired of this. I used to feel a lot of pain. Now I don’t. Not anymore. I just want to stop existing.

Some people and their problems (that may lead to them contemplating suicide) may be more complex than ‘more pain than they can cope with’ as you have said, I for intstance an not feeling excruciating pain, only some pain and stress and anxiety. This may be why I commit suicide.
Yeah, my point. I was just angry that this large and deep paper only ‘justified’ the suicide by saying “oh, well, they were feeling more pain than they could cope” because I don’t think that’s it at all. Stress and anxiety is the definition of my life, really, and I’ve been having suicidal thoughts for… years.
the “more pain than they can deal with” myth is rubbish. they kill themselves for a myriad of reasons and should never be lumped all together like that.
that malarkey is right up there with “suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem”.
YES! EXACTLY!
Yep! Along with the fallacy that being suicidal is, in itself, a disorder. Just the sort of thing I was talking about in my last two posts.
thank you!!!!!! I hate when people spout this stuff and of course I can never say anything!!!!
The religious one where they say “god will never give you more than you can handle” is also false. If that’s true, then why do people die at all?
I hate that one so effing much.
I’m really religious, and I hate that one too. Because the fact of the matter is, God doesn’t want us to be independent. He wants us to depend on Him. Which is why He, in actuality, gives us stuff we can’t handle literally all the time.
It’s a really deceptive and insidious lie.
It is a misquote. If the people who say this would actually READ it, they would know.
Good point, Whiskered.
