Destructive or for some people a release from personal circumstances?

Religious views? Impact on family?

Resumé

BY DOROTHY PARKER

Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren’t lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.
 
Thank you for such a trivial response to my message. Should I kill myself tonight I am sure you will find it hilarious.

Brah no one own you any pity. I'm not trying to be funny or harsh, but suicide is for the weak. That's the easy way out, embrace your struggles. You are not the only person dealing with them.

For me this sort of post always gets my attention. You might be serious, you might be yanking our chain and laughing, you might be dead serious. (Pardon the pun)


From my heart with no bullshit or platitudes. Plz dont take your life. Turn to your family, friends, your Dr, an anonymous hot line, a counsellor.

I lost my stepson to suicide when he was only 24. No one knew he was unhappy, troubled, depressed or sad. Our family was broken for so long and we miss him so much. he was kind, smart funny and nothing can fill his gap in family photos, family get togethers, his daughter growing up.
 

In a "laughter is the best medicine" sort of way that seems like decent advice.

I look at suicide this way. If it is organic depression, your chemistry will improve sometime. These things are like a pendulum to me.

If it is situational, this too shall pass. Suicide is always worth at least procrastinating. What's the rush?

Take a nap. Watch a comedy special.

Look outside yourself. If you can find someone to help, it's easier to forget about your own travails.
 
Just don't make someone else do your dirty work. I just read about a transgender who jumped in front of a tractor who is now being hailed as a hero. Meanwhile. The tractor driver will be haunted for the rest of his life. Ditto "suicide by cop". Don't be a dick, go jump off a bridge.

No, not yanking anyone's chain Debbie so thank you for your reply. The moment my family have to be told is what stop me from doing it most but does my pain outweigh their grief? I don't know. But thank you for a constructive reply.

Damn you are mean.
 
Please don't do it. If you are feeling desperate, go to your nearest Emergency Department. They can help you.
 
I've had an uncle and an aunt off themselves. I know that more people will be distressed than you imagine.

if your situation is unrepairable (terminal illness) then it would be wrong of me to try to dissuade anyone from that choice.

if it's situational then there are almost always things you can do to make life bearable. even the most dire situations are usually temporary.

it it's psychological then I would ask that you call a suicide prevention line today, seek some sort of support tomorrow, and throw your life away for want of a listening ear and a chemical rebalance.

I make jokes about everything, it is how I cope. I've made jokes about my dead mother, whom I loved madly. If she isn't exempt, what chance do you think anyone else has.

Smile, be happy.

Get laid. Sex is the most life-affirming act there is. (If my memory serves me right)

Reinvent yourself. You don't have to stay stuck in a life you don't like in the US.
 
It is so easy for people to say you're weak, suck it up etc.

It's easy to say when you haven't been so fucked up in your own head that you can only see misery, no future, a feeling of deepest sadness and that no one understands how bad you feel inside.

But you aren't alone.

People do care.

There might be hope and some way to help you through whatever is going on.

Reach out.

Write a journal. Write what is bothering you. What/who makes you feel happy/alive.

Do stuff that makes you feel better.
 
If you were suffering from a terminal illness I would tell you it's up to you.

If it is depression or sadness or any one of the feelings that can make you feel overwhelmed, I would tell you to get counseling because these things will eventually pass especially with help, they are just " thoughts"

If it is determined to be a chemical imbalance,talk to your Doctor and try a few medicines until you find one that slows down or stops the whirlpools in your head.
I can tell you from experience once you get a glimpse of things without the clouds everything changes.

My doctor said low Vitamin D adds to depression, and 2,000 units a day will help. Little, tiny gel caps that are simple to swallow.

I couldn't tell you how well it works though. When I tried to check myself out in the mirror, my reflection walked away disgusted. I'm almost afraid to go out in the sun, for fear of finding out my shadow has deserted me also.

When I came home to find my stepson (who had lived with us from 14 and was a sibling to my sons in our blended family) had ended his life I couldnt breath. I was numb. I wanted to take my heart and rip it out. I wanted to laugh with him again. To bear hug him when he wasnt expecting it. I wanted to hear his laugh again. I wanted his friends to come and visit and fill our house with their jokes and noise. I will never have that again. Ever. And I was just his step Mum. His Dad is more than devastated. His daughter is 8 now and she has photos and stories we tell. She has his things. Drawings. Photos. his camera. But she doesnt have him.

The grief is a harsh heavy weight that never goes away from the loss of someone to suicide. The feeling of helplessness never goes away. The feeling of did I not notice? What could I have done to help? Is it my fault never goes away. The heartache is always there - you just learn to bear it somehow.
 
1-800-273-TALK

Grief is an incorrect term. It's worse than grief. The scars you'll leave on others are deep and don't go away. Talk to your family or friends or call the number above. If you're asking about effects on family, then obviously you have people you know care about you.
