a must watch for anyone contemplating suicide

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style. - Maya Angelou

I may look at it differently than some.
I think of it in terms of time.
Your are not altering the inevadable.
You are mearly altering the clock.
I am sidesteppeng religious veiws.

If you are near the end of your life, and there is only suffering for you, it seems logical.

But to me, it allways seems like a mistake at a younger age.

There is still plenty of time to correct things.

You would miss out on the good times in your future, once you recover from current hard ships.

IMHO.

A little comic releif can keep you sane, and ready to endure this world.

But I did thank God that I got the desired reaction from you.

Is a guy who jumps on a grenade to save his platoon committing suicide? Was the charge of the light brigade suicide? Is the man who stands on principal against a mob and is overwhelmed committing suicide? I think the motivation is a factor. IS the motive selfish, or is the motive based on honor or courage?

Every being has a right to self-determination. If I want to kill myself, I should have the right to. And there should be facilities set up so that I can get some help and do it correctly.

Once my body no longer works, I’m p~~~ing myself, can’t walk right, etc, I’m just going to end it. Why suffer in pain for months/years when the end result is the same? It should be my CHOICE. If I CHOOSE to live and fight until my dying breath, that’s my RIGHT. If I choose to end it now, THAT’S my right too.

Or hell, maybe my world turns upside-down and I just don’t want to live anymore. Maybe my family is killed, or I lose my job to automation and have absolutely NO hope of living a decent life anymore. If I want to end my life, I should be able to.

Murder and suicide are NOT the same thing. You can’t “murder” yourself. You’re simply ending your existence. Unless I die in an accident, I know I’m going to kill myself. It’s just a matter of when.

Has anyone here ever lost someone close to them via suicide?

My father did it in 2015.

There is NO closure. Zero.

[SpiderHerderParticipant 3759]

It isn’t a bad thing: ending OUR OWN life on OUR OWN terms. It is honorable in a way.

I think one of the reasons why suicide is viewed in such a bad light is the trauma usually caused to others. Especially to people close to you who find a puddle of a gooey something that used to be you.

But ultimately, we all die and we all die alone. All cute afterlife theories aside, this is the one time we truly go our own way. No one else there to walk with us. No one else to share this experience with.

Anyway. haha

I agree that everyone should have the right to decide when they check out but I think it fair to discuss it with loved ones first.

Not just decide to f~~~ off and not let people know.

If I could advice anyone who are thinking about doing this:

No matter how worse the situation is, sooner or later it will eventually pass, sooner if you put your s~~~ together, gather some strenght and willpower and work on it. We, men, naturally have these two traits(and many others) encrusted in us, we only need to unleash it. And a big part of the process to unleash it, is to stop taking the s~~~ the world throw at us, dodge it, and focus on yourself.

We get to this point when we allow to be changed by the decaying people/society we live in. They nuke us with s~~~ thoughts 24/7 since we’re kids. Unlearn that crap. Don’t let so little end your life.

Don't look back, you're not going that way.

Exactly. You just have to hang in there, stand strong and endure it. Face the storm head on and it will eventually pass.

The evil in women’s hearts leaves them no moral bounds as to inhibit them from descending to the lowest levels of darkness to acquire their self entitled desires.

Secular psychology can’t address something they don’t know about. They can only patch this area, so to speak.

Carl Jung deals with the phenomena of Entities and Archetypes. I would recommend his work for any one battling with demons. Its a scientific approach to the problem.

As for Suicide, I’ve lost a few friends over the years. I tried hanging myself once when I was 9 years old. I didn’t tie the noose properly and it did not cinch around my neck. I survived and have never tried it again. Suicide is always an option, but its best to always put it off until tomorrow.

I totally agree. If I were going to off myself and I had any family left that actually gave a s~~~ about me, I’d let them know that I was going to do it and why. I probably wouldn’t kill myself if I still had any family left unless I was in incredible pain.

But the problem is how society views suicide. Most people don’t have the courage to tell their loved ones they’re going to do it, or they’re afraid that their loved ones will PREVENT them from doing it. You don’t commit suicide for fun. You do it because you NEED to do it, to alleviate the pain (psychological, physical, etc.).

Most people that commit suicide are NOT crazy. They’re in pain and don’t see an end to it. So they choose to end it. There’s a simple dignity in choosing to end your life the way you see fit. It is NOT cowardice and it is NOT wrong, no matter what the western world says.
