I hate it when people say: ‘suicide isn’t the answer, life gets better’…..
(if suicide isn’t the answer then someone plz tell me what the f#ck the answer is
my life isn’t guaranteed to get better believe me my life can get worst )
I hate it when people say: ‘people who commit suicide are cowards’
(people who commit suicide are some of the bravest people yet I bet if people had to put up with half the things suicidal people go through they’d go crazy)
I hate it when people say: ‘don’t kill yourself you have so much to live for’
(some people are poor, homeless, have no family , have been repeatedly raped, are terminally ill and disabled  so don’t anyone dare say EVERYONE has             ‘ something’ to live for )
This is YOUR life end it if you want to
(sorry I just needed to rant)>_<

i agree
This is YOUR life end it if you want to <- reminded me of "It's your money get it when you need it" commercial lol. I, however, do agree with this rant.
I find it kind of funny when people try to give me emotional speeches to
stop cutting. I agree with your testaments, if someone really wants to hurt themselves or die then they should be aloud to.
i’m glad someone else agrees:)
AMEN
I agree with your rant! Sometimes, for various reasons, life just becomes unbearable for some people. For many, things will not get better. I also hate it when I hear, “hang in there”, “this will pass”, and all the other clichés and platitudes people and especially psychologists/therapists like to dump in your lap. It’s my life, it’s really become shitty, and I’ll end it when I’ve had enough. Which is soon!
No matter who you are, there are still things in life, that when you experience them, you enjoy life. For a little while, you forget about killing yourself. I don’t know what it is for you people, but sometimes just a smile at a stranger and a “hi” can make me feel pretty good. There are a lot of things/people that hold me back, even though I think about it right when I wake up and before I fall asleep. Mainly, my family, also, some of my friends have young kids who really look up to me, and I just can’t do that to them. I really can’t, none of us should. I know how you feel when you come here, I don’t know where you live or what you go through, but if you want to talk to someone who feels the ups and downs everyday too, I’m here.
THANK YOU!!! Exactly how I feel…
I’d add that some people think suicide is the selfish option… BS! What’s selfish is numerous people who can’t give a few minutes to listen, or show compassion, or offer support to people who are struggling SO MUCH that suicide is the only option left. They are the selfish ones.
“some people are poor, homeless, have no family , have been repeatedly raped, are terminally ill and disabled so don’t anyone dare say EVERYONE has ‘ something’ to live for ”
Amen!!
when ppl just say “hang in there” I just wanna pull my hair off my head. got a friend like that she making me sick with her “get over it u can do it” cheer-me-up. if this life is shitty, who knows maybe its better on the other side
I wholeheartedly and unreservedly agree, Hannah. The ‘life gets better’ line is incredibly shallow and overused, and in some (read: many) cases it may not even prove to be accurate. The only thing I hate more than that is ‘Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.’ Sometimes the ‘problem’ (vast understatement in most cases) is ongoing, and there are often multiple contributing factors in a situation that is such to drive one to suicide. The ignorance is astounding. Excellent post.
I always balk at how so many people act like they “know” that the ‘problem’ is “temporary,” without even knowing /what/ the problem is! If you don’t know wtf the problem is, how do you know it’s temporary? What about all the time i already lost to this supposedly “temporary” problem? Is that temporary? I don’t think so! Lost time is /permanent/. The past is /permanent/. It cannot be changed, no matter what.
And every second of my life that ticks away with people claiming there are solutions to my problems, without actually sharing them, without even bothering to understand my problems… is another second /permanently/ added to the severity of the experience of my “temporary” problems, which are still not getting solved, while my life, which is supposed to get better (right!?) continues to dwindle away.
Astounding ignorance indeed.
And all these astonishingly ignorant people are successful and happy… and i’m not!?
I just… i don’t even…
What is this?
If only i had access to the tools that can be used to financially exploit those who deserve it. Maybe then i’d prosper.
It’s especially disheartening when the people telling you life will improve are the ones who were part of the reason you felt suicidal in the first place. It’s not like they actually care. They simply don’t want to know that your blood would be on their hands, kind of thing. I mean, if I had a friend who was depressed I would do my best to actually BE THERE for them. Not tell them, “You have nothing to be sad about!” and then disappear whenever they need me. Even worse, is to constantly berate, insult and criticize, which will only make the recipient want to hasten their death. And I’ve gotten all of this from people who have claimed they ‘loved’ me. I’m sorry, this is not ‘tough love,’ or otherwise. No, it is only cruelty and an unwillingness to face the situation.
I hate these cliches as well. They are very overused and a “cure all” for everything. People just use them like a blanket to cover all the problems and rarely do they even understand the problem. Its like you going to the hospital and telling the doctor you have a stomach virus and he gives you some cough medicine. It won’t fucking work. People only use these because they don’t understand the issue. They want to heal a problem they don’t understand which makes no fucking sense at all.
