Friend of a friend committed suicide yesterday

[KK]

eh i gotta agree with SandEagle on his view. it is an extremely selfish act and very loserish to commit suicide. you can give all the excuses about being depressed and what not, still does not justify it.

but at the end of the day, as stated, it's just a selfish act and ones choice. only people i feel sorry for in situations like this are ones like the op's friend, not the actual person who did it.

and comparing someone with a terminal illness committing suicide to someone who does it because they are emo losers with depression shouldn't even happen. totally different situations.

I gotta agree with this...

It's their life. Any decision made over it is theirs to make alone, unless they have children to take care of. No more selfish than doing really anything. I can understand not being sad for them, however. If anything people should be happy that the individual has left suffering.

The other side of the story is that other people suffer too when you die. So to end your own suffering despite causing suffering for others is selfish.

Those who think otherwise are selfish themselves. All that being said, Ill bet most humans have considered it at least once. 😱

What right do you have to emotionally blackmail someone into perpetual misery just so that you may avoid your own temporary, self-created sadness?

Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Valentine's Day. Depressed people take a beating this time of the year.

So much this.🙁

You're a colossal wise and beautiful woman and I hope you fucking die.

There are any number of ways to express your opinion without those words. Next time find one.

I can't stand this puerile, shallow life view that ultimately shows a complete lack of understanding in depression and human mental disorder. You're a fucking asshole and it would be best for everyone if you spontaneously caught fire and died a horrible painful death. Go fuck yourself.

 

[Kadarin]

Those of you who say you have no sympathy are shallow and heartless, and do so from the anonymous internet where you don't know the people involved. If and when this ever happens to someone close to you, then you may finally understand.

Saying that other peoples pain over someone elses suicide is "self created" is heartless and goes hand in hand with the selfish view that life is free for your own taking.

Anyway, opinions dont matter a whole hill of beans to suicidal folk. If someone is going to kill themselves, they dont care what we think. We just have to deal with the pain of loss and move on. I also pray they dont wind up in hell on top of everything else. That would be a real kick in the pants.

I know life sucks but killing yourself isnt the answer in my opinion. :'(

Gotta agree with Gaynor here. You don't create depression for yourself (who the fuck wants to walk around like an empty shell all day?) and it sure as hell isn't "emo loserish" to go through with the act. There's a difference between being emo and depressed.

Having gone through (still going through) depression and having made several plans for suicide, it's an act you really do consider the only way out. You just wake up wanting to die, because you feel worthless and hopeless inside. You assholes might think it's just me looking for some pity or attention, but guess what you fucktards, just because you have a social network to rely on doesn't mean your problems will instantly vanish.

SandEagle, you're a dipshit. So that might be a callout, but who cares, obviously you place little value in the lives of even your close relatives. If your wife/kids (I hope you don't have any) ever commit suicide, you'd feel devastated. My mom is the only reason I'm still here right now.

A negative emotional reaction over a friend's suicide is only created by the one experiencing it. How can you expect an individual that has had suicidal thoughts for much of their life to stay in control, yet give mourners equally concerned with their own feelings a pass? And how do you know what they think? Yeah, you can probably find angsty teenaged types that write suicide notes of "I hate you mom and dad", but you're projecting if you think there aren't individuals with legitimate mental imbalances that feel empathy for their family and friends as well.

Hell just froze over, I agree with Gayner.

Real depression is overwhelming. You cant work, think, sleep or eat. Not until you get some resolution with your probelms or start to see the bright side again. Prayer helped me a lot.

Did you take anything or just let time do the trick?

LOL wow I can't believe I agree with you on this one.

People who talks about depression as if the person affected can control it is ignorant.

So SandEagle and pal can go ahead and go fuck themselves.

I agree. Feeling bad that someone committed suicide due to depression is just as valid as feeling bad that someone died of cancer or some other physical disease.

People that don't understand this have never gone through depression or seen it's effects first hand. Depression destroys you from the inside out.

 

[SandEagle]

well ok guys. i won't go fvck myself, that's just retarded.

but anyhoo, yes it sucks that someone died. i already said that. lighten up losers, before you end up committing suicide

[Bignate603]

Apparently threads about suicide bring the heartless jerks out of the wood work.

 

[OverVolt]

I've had it and disagree with Gaynor. I got over it without meds. I took control of my own damn problems. Depression is from a sense of helplessness so you take control of anything and everything you can.

You can't willpower your way out that is correct, but the cure to anguish from helplessness is not to continue claiming helplessness "I can't do it because my chemical imbalance is against me!" = FAIL.

This view is ironic. The person who wants to commit suicide would agree with you that it is an extremely selfish and very loserish thing to, but they feel they have no other choice. Making judgment on the act of suicide, and ignoring the depression that is the cause of it, reinforces the view that people only care about one's outward conformity and not their suffering. It does not matter whether you sympathize with their suffering; depression is a rut that takes over one's life and pervades every part of their being, making the suffering very real to them. By reinforcing this mindset instead of changing it, you ironically aid their suicidal thought process.

But perhaps you are already aware of this and that is your intent.

 

[OverVolt]

Suicide is giving up without a fight. Most people with depression have anxiety too, so if you are willing to take your own life, why not fight to keep it fearlessly?

Very sad. A friend of my wife's took his life a few weeks ago by jumping off the Golden Gate bridge earlier this month.

I don't know why you guys buy into the bullshit to such an extent. If the common view of depression was the best view, then why is it so prevalent & increasing?

I laid it our pretty succinct because that is just the mood I'm in right now. Depression is from helplessness. No, you can't willpower your way out and I understand that, but you can take control and that will directly get rid of the depression. It's an ugly path and you will have to awkwardly bite, chew, claw and fight your way out but you can do it. It is a process. Facing your fears is a good starting point.

How about saving the insensitive opinions for a thread about suicide in general rather than posting them in a thread where someone has actually died and other people are hurting.

A few lucky fvckers here, really lucky to either have never been depressed or come in contact with a depressed person to say things like "no sympathy". Either that or extremely dense and lacking empathy at a level that borders psychopathy.

Anyhoo, I knew one guy who killed himself. I won't go into details with it here but he left a young daughter behind. I never felt any anger toward what he did, just sadness. I knew that the state he was in was one hardly influenced by a regular person's reason. His daughter will have to live with that and it's an awful burden. It's one of the worst ways to die, worse than being murdered I dare say. I knew somebody else a few years ago going through a tough time and one day heard she had died. My immediate reaction was suicide and I was quite relieved instead to hear it was some weird cardiac issue.
