again, suicide

What about your grandmother, your aunt, your uncle? How would they feel if you committed suicide?

And you are acting like an emo kid...hating everything...*shrugs* we're just calling it like we see it.

 

It sounds like there's enough hate in your family to go around.

Any chance of living with relatives?

Hi cheech & chong,
I just love Cheech & Chong, they did some great bits.

Well anyway, if you’ll notice quite a few that have written are young if not teenagers and they talk of their own feelings of suicide. The reason for that is almost all teenagers have those feelings, not to minimize your feelings but it’s just that the teenage years are just very painful.

The truth is things do get better if you can just survive long enough to get though the teenage years.

Myself always being the curious sort, when I had thoughts of suicide, I couldn’t help but think, yeah, but what would I be missing tomorrow or the next day or next week or a year from now. Looking back on all the good things that have happened I wouldn’t have missed any of it including my teenage years.

Please forgive those who said you were selfish, they were just relating what had helped them survive hoping it would help you. But the real truth of the matter is that each person has to find their own thing to focus on when the pain gets so bad you want to do anything to stop the hurt. No matter what it is, having something to focus on is what will save you.


PS If you really want to commit suicide don’t use a gun or drugs or rope or knife or jump off a cliff because you may not succeed and nothing is worse than spending the rest of your life crippled because of a failed suicide attempt. I would suggest starve your self to death because it’s hard to mess up, you don't need any extra equipment, it’s just as fatal and has the added benefit of giving you time to change your mind. And if you should change your mind it is said that fasting has health benefits.

 

I agree 100%.

But I don't think you should kill yourself. You're too cool and nice, from what I can see on these forums, and you're still young yet.
Bama is definitely a bummer of a place to live. (I know)

I've wanted to kill myself before (not because of where I live ) but I never could go through with it. I guess I want to see what happens and enjoy what life I have.

 

Dear cheech & chong, what's up man?
Life is intense...eh?

I'm 20 years old right now.
I've been thinking about blowing my head off for about 7 years now.
There's always a different reason, too.
It used to be family//school
now it's because of menacing health problems that literally drive me insane
and I can't help but think, almost every day (especially the days without any compassionate herb) about killing myself.
I'm never going to actually do it, but I just can't help but still think about it all the time.

my advice...:

"Do what thou will shall be the whole of your law"

Make some money,
find out what you want to do with your life
and do it
away from the assholes that don't believe in you.

Life....is fucking amazing.
You've only just begun.

 

I hate people who say that suicide is selfish, because quite frankly it's not. Emotional pain is the hardest pain in the world to live with, and when someone comes on a forum and says the things like the OP did the last thing they need is people telling them that they are a worst person for doing so.

Suicidal thoughts aren't voluntary, trust me I know.

 

Many people here know what it's like to be suicidal...this is not a NEW or even ODD issue. It's so common! And when you're suicidal, you are in the "woe-as-me" mentality...everything is about how bad everything is for YOU, and how people treat YOU like crap, and how YOU are getting the short end of the stick. Do people get suicidal because someone ELSE is having emotional pain? Would you commit suicide for someone else? Most likely the answer is going to be no. People are so wrapped up in their own problems these days, they forget about others. Other people experience emotional pain, but it's how you deal with it that is important.

Seriously, suicidal people don't volunteer places, they don't do things that enrich themselves or their community. If they did...they wouldn't be suicidal...that's my point.

 

Why so judgmental of someone who's hurting? Who are you to say that suicidal people don't care about others? That's a load of crap!

 

I'm saying that there are a lot of other people out there who are worse off than us...

And if they cared about others, they wouldn't always be thinking of themselves and JUST themselves. Everyone has pain to some degree, but always remember, there are people out there that have it much worse...

Teenagers who think that suicide is the answer, piss me off because I've had friends who have killed themselves...and it hurt me a lot, to the point that I've blamed myself for what they did. Had I only done this differently, or that differently. My mother committed suicide...albeit, slowly, but she killed herself. How do you think that made my family, especially my little sister feel? Huh? Really fucking shitty. So stop and think about what you're about to do...take some time to think long and hard of the consequences. You hurt a lot of people by thinking that suicide is the answer. But people just don't care. THAT'S selfish.

 

Okay DancerAnnie, I understand some of what you're saying, I really do.
But I think it's also selfish to expect someone to continue living, just for your sake. If that person is miserable, why would you want them to continue to be so? If you want them to quit thinking about suicide then maybe try helping them instead of calling them selfish and giving up on them.
(I'm sorry about your mother. Parents should think about their kids before doing something like that. It was selfish for your mother to do that, because you and your sister needed her, but it's different when somebody doesn't have kids or someone who needs them)

 

Also, a lot of depression is caused by chemical imbalances in the brain. People can't completely help the way they feel.

 

that's why I'm never having children....

 

You're too old now at 84 anyway. :tongue:

 

Praise the lord!

Suicide IMHO can sometimes be the only answer, because when you get to the point where your going to kill yourself you've hit rock bottom. It's not fun, it's sucky, and I agree with the above poster, it is also selfish of people to expect someone to stay alive because of your wishes.

Think of someone with cancer in the hospital, if they were in that much pain, you would not expect them to continue living like that, you wouldnt be as mad if they gave up and died.

Now think that depression is a chemical imbalance in the brain, just as cancer is a chemical imbalance of the body....whos to say who suffers more there?

 

lololol... WTF ?
dude... do you even know what emo is ?
cuz apperantley you dont.
you saying that your depressed, and wanna kill yourself doesnt exactly make you a hippey.
so.. stop contradicting yourself and get over it.
everyone has these feelings. and you aint even got it that bad kiddo.
trust me... it could be worse, so you should be thankful it isnt.

 

I'm sorry but if suicide is the answer then it must be a pretty stupid question!

Please take a look at what you're saying; you're comparing being a teenager with a fatal disease. I'm sorry but last time I looked just being a teenager is not fatal, but as for cancer you don't have to do anything and it will kill you.

Telling a teenager with suicidal thoughts that suicide could be the only way out is just wrong! Here is a person with a million doors to walk though, 75 percent of which will lead to a long and happy life. All of them will allow him to change his mind and try something else if he wishes, accept one, suicide and that’s the door you point him toward?

When you find someone who has fallen into a hole and can’t get out, you don’t throw a gun down to them and say this maybe your only hope; instead maybe you should find a rope and help pull them out!

 

My aunt has nothing to do with me, she stays away from us because she has a whole other life to live with other people. She just told me that when she was around me awhile back. Yea, its been going on a long time.

My uncle has slight mental issues and it wouldnt effect him really at all. And if it did, it wouldnt take long for him to get over it.

My grandmother isnt really on earth anymore. She hardly comes around either.

Last night, my cousin came over to my uncle's and started beating him with a heater, and busted a glass ash tray over his head. Then just walked out of the house casually like nothing ever happened. Why did all this happen? No reason just my fucked up family. I was at the hospital until 4 in the morning with my uncle. He had a concusion.

Ive been through all this my whole life, and its never gotten better. Theres not a lot of people on here thats had to go through life seeing relatives practicly kill their family. I have, and it damages me everytime.

To be honest, I just want to leave it all. Whether its just dying or leaving. I used to think I would be able to go to other countries or all kinds of thing like that. But when I was sitting in the waiting room last night, I thought, "how can I do any of that when I have a family like this?" I cant even cope with it now.

If I could leave, I would. But where am I supposed to go? This violence is with every member of my family. I just have to deal.

 

You know what your right. You shouldnt worry about yourself. You should only worry about whats going on in other peoples life.

What the fuck is wrong with you? You SHOULD worry about yourself.

You sound like the kind of person that buts in when someone is talking with another person and says, "What are you talking about? " Its really none of your goddamn business, but you gotta know. Why dont you worry about yourself for once? Im really surprised you arent dead from starvation, because when you get hungry, your checking how you feel at the moment and realize you need to eat.
