Hi, I have been gone for a while and since then I have had a couple of things that I have thought about and I want to hear what you think.
- So throughout my time with me dealing with me depression, I have heard these things Suicide is a permanent solution for a temporary problem. But you could live until you are old who suffered from depression since they were young. And also that if a person does suicide, which life is also temporary, then what is the problem with doing it.
- People always are saying that self harm is not the way to deal with depression. And I agree, but they all expect us to ask for help, but they don’t understand that we can’t. The people who say that self harm is bad don’t understand is the we are lonely, sad, angry, and that we don’t know how to speak up. We don’t have the courage to ask for help because in today’s society, people will judge us even though it isn’t our fault.
- Everyone says that suicide isn’t an option and it isn’t your choice. Well I don’t understand it because if it is our lives, shouldn’t we be able to be in charge of it.
So I would like to hear you opinion about these thoughts I have had.

1. There’s a lot of different opinions on the subject of suicide, some say it’s wrong. But ultimately how can anyone tell YOU that you aren’t allowed to take your own life?
You owe the world nothing and only belong to yourself, though it can be said I don’t think people choose to take their life, it is more of a situation they are pushed into by their experiences or feelings or situations, while they do eventually make the decision I feel like it is not really a choice, more so an outcome.
2. There is multiple reasons people inflict self harm, mine was self punishment, everytime I saw someone suffering or hurting because of me or something I did I would display that pain on my own skin, self punishment, I believed I deserved it.
Some people cut into their skin so they can feel the physical pain, which often is considered better than having to deal with the psychological pain.
But yes ultimately there are better ways to deal with thoughts and feelings, self harm is not a good thing to do, you can break free from it though, I had a 3 year clean streak so it is definitely possible.
3.
Going back to the first point, it is your choice and yours alone to make.
Wether you live for die, it is a decision you can make yourself, though eventually the world will also decide for you.
People are scared of suicide, people are scared of death, especially when their loved ones die or are suicidal.
Suicide isn’t really an answer at all. It is an early exit and an early end.
Life is tough and stressful but I truly believe even if we are suffering its worth carrying on, life is temporary, try to make the most of it.
1. ‘Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.’
Fuck them.
2. ‘Self-harm is bad.’
Fuck them once again.
3. ‘Suicide isn’t your choice.’
Fuck them even harder.
Suicide is a choice to end the hopeless misery that fucks up everything you are, were and wished to be. People that were never truly suicidal to the point of mental breakdown have no understanding of that.
As such, they have NO fucking RIGHT to judge people that decide to do it. Period.
