My younger sisters friend. He was super smart. He was 19 at the time, his parents came home and he was laying on his bed with a plastic bag over his head.

Jesus man. I cannot fathom this at all. Prayers to you for what you've been through.
I have a friend that's wife shot and killed herself a couple of years ago. They had two almost grown children when she did it.
I used to be in the selfish camp until living through this one. Mental illness is a serious condition that needs much more attention. The worst part of one committing suicide is the unanswered questions that the loved ones are left with the rest of their lives.

Actually, the person they hate the most is themselves. Most can't see through the illusion of the conditioned ego to the spiritual consciousness at the core of everyone.
That's what I meant. Their pain is instantaneous. I can still see that guy I mentioned dad face at funeral. Appropriately sad and woeful. Holding his shite together. But you could see in his face that his life was ruined. He was probably the age I am now. I'm sure he found joy in life later, but it will always be tempered

Women attempt suicide 4 times as much as men but men die twice as much from suicide. Women "attempt " suicide for attention

You think someone willing to go through that thinks that way?
As been mentioned most probably belive they're doing their loved ones a huge favor.

My grandfather shot himself. I've also had two students commit suicide.

I had a friend whose dad committed suicide and left a note saying basically his son not graduating from college on time was the reason he did it. He was one of those father's where everything was planned out before his kids were born and wanted everything to happen exactly like that.
This is one of the strangest things I've ever heard. I guarantee you there was some dark-arse stuff in your friend's past with his father if the suicide note was any indication. That sounds like an awful case of OCD personality disorder.
Every suicide is different. Sure, there are some people that get in debt or do bad things and just decide that ending it all is the best option to end the problem. Those suicides can be seen as selfish. But other people are completely tormented souls that beg to just wake up and feel normal for a day where the world around them is not consumed in darkness and completely overwhelming in every way. Their emotions are way more extreme than what we normally experience from day to day. And many times their struggle is lengthy and not a brief one with a knee-jerk reaction.
Some people say they understand the mental aspect of it, but actually, they only understand that there is a mental aspect to it. To really understand the mental aspect of it, you would have to be in that state of mind and being. Only then would you truly understand the mental aspect of it.

My husband's father committed suicide when my husband was ten years old. I don't know many details about it because he doesn't like to talk about it but I know that it still affects him. Every now and then he mentions something about it but if I ask too many questions, he stops talking about it or changes the subject.
A few months ago his maternal grandfather died and we were at the cemetery for the burial and I just happened to look around and see a headstone with my husband's name (he's a junior) on it a few rows over from us. As we were leaving I pointed it out and asked him if he knew that it was there and he just said "yeah, I knew it was around here somewhere" and walked off.
I think he has mixed emotions about it. From sadness to anger to feelings of abdonment and everything in between. He's mentioned before that he doesn't understand how anyone with children could ever commit suicide. He's also mentioned that he wonders what his life would have been like if that hadn't happened. His mom is a total POS and he was raised by his grandparents and aunts and uncles. His dad obviously had some issues but he remembers him being a good dad and he enjoyed spending time with him. Suicide, really any sudden or unexpected death, leaves the ones left behind with so many questions and what ifs. I have some of the same feelings about the death of my father who died unexpectedly of a heart attack a few years ago. I don't think anyone ever really gets over the untimely death of a loved one. We just do our best to keep on keeping on.

My brother in law hung himself about 3.5 years ago. I had peace from day one. Sorry for your loss but suicide is stupid and doesn't deserve space in my mind.
I had 3 friends in high school do it to. Back then I had a much harder time dealing with it.

Add to that, wasn't he being diagnosed with early stage dementia or Alzheimer's ?
That would be devestating and add to depression. Would make some perfectly happy people become 50/50 on suicide.

This thread turned out exactly as I suspected in here.
I'll flip the scrip and say it's selfish for people to want people who suffer daily to stay alive for their own selfish reasons.

Not a loved on but my a friend of my wife and also a friend of mine's husband. Both by gunshot to the head, one in a bedroom while wife is in another room and the other out in his backyard.
Damn shame!

Yes.
Yes. It comes from a relationship and prayer with God. Namely asking for peace. Sometimes over and over until you can feel it.
