Suicide

[Pig]

I'll try another thread here.

What do you think about suicide?  Do you like it, or just plain love it?  Have you ever killed yourself before?  If you haven't, how are you planning to?

My cousin committed suicide. He hung himself with an extension cord from a tree. On his mothers birthday, in her backyard. He is better off dead.

my mom tried to kill herself back in like 2004. She ate a bottle of vicoden. She was in some weird dementia state for like a week, acting all weird in a mental hospital.

Oh, and *blush* I tried to kill myself in 2007. OD. Woke up in ICU in restraints. Said I tried to fight them. I don''t remember shit but that doesnt sound like me. The nurses in ICU really hate it when people try to kill themselves. Cunts.

Very classy.

I thought about killing myself a few times because I felt utterly hopeless and useless. But I never attempted that.

Why do you hate suicide?  What's the downside?

I have a pretty strong survival drive; suicide doesn't have much appeal for me, even when I feel incredibly shitty.

i hate it because it is a little selfish [well its selfish 90% of the time] it like any death ruins familys. in almost all cases there is a bloody mess to clean up... its just so fucking stupid.

I hate when people think suicide is selfish. Like someone killed themselves just to ruin your day

Of course it's selfish. You do it for yourself, right or wrong.

[eris]

yes it is something you do for yourself, but I dont think that makes it selfish. It does hurt your family, but i just dislike the attitude some people having as taking it as a personal insult. I have seen some people get angry at the person who did it, because now they have to "deal with it". People dont kill themselves to give others a hard time. Whatever they did it for, it was not to inconvenience others and im sure it was not an easy or light decision.

I see nothing glamourous or exciting about suicide.
I see it as a desperate choice for scared and helpless people.

I see your point but I also think the people left behind have the right to their emotions. While the suicide most likely wasn't to piss them off, they still do have to deal with it. It's not easy, it's devastating.

There are no winners.

There are no winners.

Except the person who died.  They were relieved of their intolerable pain.

It can be seen as selfish for someone to end their own life, but it is also selfish to force someone to live who doesn't want to.
