bullshite! Look at the OP, 17 years later and still cant find peace. Wanna know who cant help him get through this? His dead father. Wanna know why he is going through this? His dead father
Do you think his father did what he did because he was a normal rational thinking person like you? Besides the obvious tragedy expressed in these threads, I also hate reading them because it will always bring out those that are clueless about mental illness. You are expecting someone with a broken mind to make rational decisions. Instead of spending time here exposing your lack of understanding of mental illness do something about it, go read some of the thousands of web sites devoted to suicide prevention, depression, bi-polar disorder, addiction, etc.

I always think the same thing. I can deal with the sadness of losing someone. It sucks, but bearable. But it's not fair me to want someone to live who is at a point in their life where they think ending their life is their best option. I can not imagine the type of sadness.

All they focus on is ending their pain. No consideration of the pain that they will now force on others. Several family/friends that have done it. Their kids are haunted daily by it
Ex: Guy had wanted to live the big life, racked up a ton of debt. When the credit ran out, and the collectors and govt came calling. He could not live with being poor. One through the head.
Guess what his wife and 4 kids are having to deal with now?
Ex #2: Guy found out wife was cheating after decades of marriage. Got liquored up. One to the head. In one fell swoop his 3 kids, and grandkids find out mom's a whore, and dad is gone forever
Guess how quickly that family went to shite?
Ex #3: Guy found out his wife was cheating. He went to her work place and killed her. Then he went outside and shot himself. Kids had to be picked up from the nursery by the cops, until family could get to town
Wonder what his 2 kids are thinking today?

Nailed it. Lots of selfish people in this thread.

I agreed with someone who said it is selfish, but did not mean it in an angry way. He was exhausted with his struggle.
Each survivor's "understanding" of what went on in another person's tortured mind is unique and complex. If someone has the opinion that to kill oneself is a selfish act, I can understand why would they feel that way.

Like an 11 year old that was depending on food and shelter from their dad?
Yeah, what a selfish prick and bastard that kid is

No immediate family, but two co-workers, both had serious mental illness that we did not know about =until after their death, a girl I knew well in college later killed her self, never found out what caused it, and a neighbor that I knew well growing up killed himself after his wife left, but there was apparently a gambling addiction and financial problems.

I am sorry, but you are doing nothing here but continuing to demonstrate your ignorance.

No I'd not consider that child selfish, but I'd say 99% of the people that throw out 'that's selfish' was never that 11 year old kid.
But way to play the heart strings heart strings heart strings

Not a "loved one" but people I know. 2 years ago a kid I graduated HS with tied cinder blocks to his feet and jumped in a quarry to drown himself.

Shut the frick up. This is part of the problem with the suicide epidemic and our society. Some people brush off comments by people or threats as "calls for attention." They might be calls for attention, but it isn't the sort of attention like "hey look at me!", It's "I need help" and it should be treated as such.

All you are showing is the contortions that people will go through to make something acceptable, that shouldn't be
Leaving kids behind to fend themselves is never acceptable, no matter how much 'pain' you have convinced yourself that you are in

I have two step brothers. Oldest did and the younger brother has never been the same. I was young. But step dad and the brother are still empty I guess to say 20+ years later.
He was schizophrenic and went to psychiatrists but kind of went off and was accusing his father of being mason member and out to get him. Went to Wal-Mart bought gun and ended it. Mom says there was a car parked out side our house for couple of hours the night it happen years later in life. So could of been worse I guess. Kind of mixed emotions if he was seeking help that night or contemplating taking others with him.

This. A student in one of my classes told other students all day that she was going to kill herself. No one reported it or paid any attention to her. She left school that afternoon, went home and shot herself.

My scoutmaster (35 years ago) shot himself after being diagnosed with bone cancer. His father had it years before and he left a note saying he did not want to burden his family with it and did not want to endure the pain. He was a very good man and I miss him still.
I had a high school classmate who was a Tuscaloosa police officer. He was getting divorced and ended up shooting (while in uniform and with his service weapon) his wife and them himself. He did it at her attorneys office.
