I think about it everyday. Either you appreciate your life and are happy with those things, or you're not.

Must be nice to think so deeply. If it were only that simple.

People who commit suicide are/were lost. I pity that they(or anyone around them) couldn't find the value to save them. Lets hope they Christians aren't right and their souls will have a chance to get right.

Inability to cope is what it boils down to. Had one of my best friends kill himself. Couldnt deal with his emotions. Instead of getting help like a real man would do, he took his life and left a grieving wife and little girl. Im still pissed that he would give up like that. Id still call it a cowards way out.

That is my problem also. Inability to cope with my problems. About a year ago someone said something to me and believe it or not, what was said to me, not about me, but about something that is so near to my heart, has been the reason for my issue with life. Its simple to say frick that guy and move on but it doesnt work that way.

You would be amazed what happens when you have the mindset of saying "frick what people think about you" does. Why worry about what people say? You worry about you and only you. If i worried about what people said about me, id never leave my house.

Look, you will ALWAYS have somebody out there that will judge you, its life. When you can see past that and not worry about who and what they said.... Thats where you need to be. My buddy was alway worried about what people thought. frick those people, If i could turn back the clock id tell him the same thing. Its time to grow a pair and stop hiding behind the shadow of what people think of you. Take things w a grain of salt bud, life is to short to worry about what some frickstick has to say. Just my opinion

You can't tell me suicidal individuals don't think about their loved ones before they execute their plan. Am I in the wrong here? Should I feel bad for thinking this way?

You can't know what they think or are feeling until you are in that place. I think many of them do think of families but feel their mental illness is a burden and everyone would be better off without them.

Losing someone extremely close to suicide is devastating and life altering. But, having lost someone myself, I feel it would have been selfish of me to wish she was still here struggling with her inner demons and depression daily.

Good thing it's just your opinion because it's worthless. Not everyone is wired to just say "frick it." Expecting them to snap into a change in their personality is childish, shallow, uninformed thinking. Sorry about your friend.

This. I don't feel like I'm contributing to my family in the least bit. I'm always unhappy or angry. I'm tired of going to the doctor and counselor. I don't want to take any more medicine. I can't remember the last time I felt happy for more than a moment.

No way to understand it unless you actually get to that lowest point in life.

I have always been a laid back person. My life turned upside down a few years ago. My wife became a drug addict and cheated on me to get drugs. She got sober, but I couldn't deal with what she did to me. I divorced her about a year ago. We have two little boys that are hurting and dealing with anger issues now. I tried to work things out with her a few months ago. Instead, she married a guy that she only knew for 6 months and has already been abusive to my kids. I'venever tthought about suicide before, but I have lately. I am overwhelmed with guilt, even though I tried to make amends for leaving her. It destroyed me inside what she did while we were married. And just as I got over that, now I feel like she ripped my guts out all over again. I just keep telling myself to hold on. This is temporary, and things will get better. Part of me sees no way it will. My boys are the only thing that keeps me strong enough to go on.

My best friends dad committed suicide when he was 14. Parents were HS sweethearts and the mom had mentioned she was filing for a divorce and planned to do whatever she could to take the kids with her.

One of the things they told my friend in the post-suicide counseling classes he went to was that people don't commit suicide because they want to die, they do it because they no longer want to live in their current situation. I can't imagine ever being that low and feeling like you have no outlet.

What I found interesting about my brothers suicide was how focused he was on it once he decided he was going to do it. He thought it through, did research on how to do it, and made sure all his affairs were In order and on a USB drive for us to find. It was quick, no one suspects it, but once he did it and I found out, I saw the signs weeks before, and I never thought he was in that much despair. Him being dead was awful for me, but the worse thought s that went through my mind were how sad he must have been leading up to his suicide, and if he was scared when completing it. I still to this day think about that often, and it brings me to sobbing tears. I never want any one to feel that way whether I know them or not. It must be terrible.
