I've a Question ( Archived) (52)

Suicide : the most selfish cowedly pathetic crime any one can do.

Why would any one take there life from them selves let alone ever one else? Ok yes I though about it when I was younger. and I cant say there is not a point in life that its the best option, I'm sure people out there have it bad. Although if we are talking about dating specifically here, I have certainly had my fair share of pain and sorrow, but like jeanc200658 said tomorrow is a new day. Suicide is something I will never comprehend.

My oldest daughter tried twice. Second time she almost succeeded. It tears the rest of the family...not the person hurting. We all can overcome temporary pain...just not the others left behind.

constantly...... alcohol usually helps....

this is so true..

To add to that as a sidebar...

It's important to realize that a person who commits, or tries to commit, suicide is not in a rational state of mind.

A person attempts suicide because he or she feels they have exhausted all coping mechanisms. With proper intervention, however, they can learn other ways to cope. It is, therefore, never to dismiss "threats" of suicide as idle ones; sometimes it just takes a person a long time to get up the nerve, so to speak.

For someone to seriously contemplate taking their own life is not just a cry for help, it is absolutely agonizing scream, albeit altogether too often a silent one.

It's hard to admit that you might be contemplating suicide and so that's why a lot of people go ahead and do it...to show others they were serious.

I believe it's important for people to speak openly and frankly about such issues, rather than hiding them in shame.

My best friend committed sucide two years and the trail of desruction it left behind was horrendous for his family and friends.
So if anyone thinks about it just think about your nearest and dearest before committing such a selfish act

You are right, Jean..

I thought about suicide for quite a long time..I talked to my sons about it, and, they got some of my friends involved..Love is a safety net, and friends are the fibres of that net..

Nwnstar,

Now, in reflection, I see that it was a very selfish path to take..But, some pain is so bad, that you just want it to stop..
Had it not had my "safety net", I think I would not be typing, today..

Sometimes, friends and family pick up on the suicidal vibes..When they do not, is when the suicide becomes reality..

I am thankful that I did not cause further pain to my boys, who had just lost their mother, and to my friends, who have always been there for me..

I hope we all can spot those 'vibes' in time to save a lot of grief.
This is a very good topic, as, it has touched so many people...Bob..

first, let me say that i have been on both sides.

at the age of fourteen, so strung out i couldn't see straight, i OD'd...and laid me down to die. i coded several times, was clinically dead. somehow...i made it.

however, once i was on the other side...i realized what a monumental mistake i had made. i didn't then, and don't now, have the right to harm so many.

That's pretty presumptuous to assume that everyone has a nearest and dearest isn't it?

If there is no one else in your life 'selfishness' has no meaning.

I'm happy that you are still with us..I am also happy that I am here, too..
