While suicide is selfish, it is even more selfish for forcing someone under immense depression to stick around. Think about what the person is going through that would drive them to do it.

It has nothing to do with being happy "24hrs a day". Most people with heavy depression just can't cope when they -never- feel happy. There is a big difference. If you are talking about those little wanksters who jump off a bridge because someone dumps their ass after 2 dates, then sure...thats plain stupid.

Lastly, you will attract a lot of people to this thread who are angry and call suicide cowardly. I'd bet that most of these people are hurt and have lost someone to suicide and are still pissed off about it. They can go fly a kite and stop being so damn selfish and think of what that person must have gone through.

in this world, odds are someone's been through worse and came out fine.

while i feel bad for people who go through tough times, ending your life is the easy way out.

It has nothing to do with what someone else has experienced. If there is one truth in the world its that no two people are similar. You should know that by now. While some can cope others can't...you just can't compare the two.

how do those who think they can't cope, know that they can't? they never lived life until the end to find out. they gave up, instead of seeking help.

sorry, i can't find compassion for people who end their lives early because they can't deal with it.

once they're gone, there are usually lots of people left behind who have to deal with the pain.

Many people try to find a way out. Do you think they like feeling like sh!t? Absolutely not. If you think living off anti-depressants is fun, you should give it a try. They are the biggest gimmick going. Mind altering drugs that change who you are and give you psychotic episodes just to stay alive for someone else' satisfaction? Pretty weak.

I'm not advocating suicide but I just don't know where people get off calling it something that its not. Until you've lived a few years where everyday you wake up and think negative thoughts--I think you'd be unable to comment on it.

The body and mind just aren't made for handling that sort of pressure, stress and negativity. To pretend your body can easily handle that would be a joke.

I'm not flaming you...just stating how most people would probably have no idea the state in which people are when they do such things.

It shouldn't be a pissing contest: "Oh well _I_ myself had a bad childhood, was beaten with an oven door, hit with tire irons, never fed any food, had to sleep in a cold dungeon, verbally abused by my parents and _I_ overcame it so you should too, or else you are just a weakling". Everyone is different.
 
While most of us don't aree with suicide, I feel that for the people who do it, it's a last resort. They are so down, that they don't think of the consequences of their actions, or who they will hurt in the end. Many feel that there is no way out and that their life is never going to get any better. I don't think the people who commit suicide are dumb at all. They just don't know what else to do.

Funny to see evryone mocking this man, when he says people such as you, are the reason for many suicides(attempts, or whatnot).

Ti's a pitty.

No matter how you look at it, RobCur gives lots of people hope. No matter how big ones issues are, they can just take a look at RobCur and see how much better their life is. That should be very good encouragement for those who are feeling bad.

I do hope that you, RobCur, will continue seeking treatment. Life can get very tough at times and it's up to us to find solutions that can work as opposed to just neglecting or avoiding things.

 
RobCur, Depression is an illness, not a "state of mind". If you are feeling depressed you can be treated successfully.

Here is a good place to start.

I am worthy not worthless, thanks for the discouragement thought. I am smart not dumb,need I saymore? how about we deep breath and think it over. I am patient, are you?

 
Suicide isn't only a psychological damage thing. It's also bad if you didn't leave enough cash to pay for your own funeral! Also who's gonna pay for some dumbass's cremation?

i didnt say they were dumb nor is it a wise thing to do. 🙁
there are times life becomes so difficult that suicide may seem to be an easy way out but life is tough no matter how you look at it. i want to enjoy life just as much as anyone does but it's not always convenient to do so when you are alone and it seems like no one cares about you.
The japanese peasants commit suicide in feudal times if asked to because it was convenient for the overlord not having to do it themselves so no one gets blamed for it. our emotions when too much overloaded makes us do crazy thing, things that we normally would not. self guilt and persecution is the real reason why some do...we have a choice, don't choose death over life just because it's convenient.
