Please don't commit suicide

[DAPUNISHER]

I have had 2 friends and 2 brothers do it. It is the most selfish act I can think of. All 4 put a gun in their mouth; they were not making cries for help, they were executing a shitty exit strategy.

It may not be possible at a time when even a fantasy of happiness is imponderable.

Yeah, I have seen shit get really dark for people. The abyss stares back dark. I would like to tell you that you can help pull them back from it, but in my limited experience, the effort just precipitates them.

Not saying you are 'wrong' as it is your opinion, but can you explain what makes you feel that way? I never understood that judgement.

Suicide is partially the result of a paradigm a person holds and stressors, which could be either internal or external.

The reasons people do it are diverse.

Some do it because they got caught doing something heinous. These people get little sympathy and sometimes their death causes extra trauma to the victims they harmed as they cannot be "brought to justice"..

Some do it because they got bullied savagely to the point they believe there is no end and that it is a means to "ending" the torture.

Some do it because they failed to live up to another's expectation. This is likely the cause of many suicides in a nation like Japan.

Sometimes, physical brain damage can cause episodes of mental agony, to the point that the person cannot take it anymore. This was the case with Junior Seau and others.

I should stop making threads

You know what you should do? Go find Cheez's shed in Indianapolis, and try to talk some sense into him. That guy seems to be eager to kill himself from smoke inhalation in his wood shed.

I'm willing to chip in a few bucks on this.

Maybe he should meet up with Pat McAfee and climb socially with a celeb friend.

I think about suicide almost every day. 5-6 years ago I tried after getting really drunk.

Same. Though I'm coming up on the 2 and half year mark on my attempt. I have no hope for the future. Though I still persist, if only because of my mother.

No attempts here, but the notion is similar. Sticking around for the sake of others and how they would be affected if I were to 'check out'.

My immediate family and my closest friends know me well enough to expect that it may eventually happen. Not purely due to depression or thoughts of suicide, but because of a mindset I've had since I was about 14 years old.

It is essentially my belief of my "right to die". My health is not good, and never has been since I was a small child. I've dealt with a chronic disease all my life that is wrecking my body with complications. It is tolerable most of the time, but sooner or later I will question the value or point of sticking around just to keep suffering and existing.

If I were to commit suicide, and anyone who knew me says something along the lines of, "I don't understand! I wish I could have done something!!"...it means they didn't know me very well. If they had...they would have been one of the people who it was explained to at length in the past.

This might be a bit different than killing yourself due to situational/environmental depression and thoughts of suicide, but my point is that you should try to hold judgement because there are likely factors that you do not know or understand.
