Views on suicide?

[Asian Jul]

I should keep my views to myself but I can't. I find it terribly pathetic that children and adults cannot cop with life so they feel the need to take their own lives regardless of who else they may affect be it friends and family. People persevere through a lot worse shit than that 15 year old who was bullied and still live their lives. Where children are concerned, are they paying attention to their child? If they were that depressed and suicidal wouldn't they show signs?

Well judging by your last sentence being posed as a question.. I'd say you're making a pretty big sweeping statement when you don't even know.

From seeing classmates and friend's family member's commit suicide, there are not always warning signs. Usually the people who killed themselves were faking happiness and one day decided to kill themselves. The people who usually make it blatantly obvious that they need help are the ones looking for attention and a person to tell them not to do it.. when in fact they're probably not going to do it anyway.

When teenagers kill themselves over being bullied, well, let's just say some bullying goes further than you'd think. Not to mention, if a kid kills himself, you have no idea what other problems he was going through. It's not really fair to generalize every suicide.

as far as suicide, i commend the person that Donnie was referring to for having the guts and seemingly thinking of others...but as far as someone who is healthy and just feeling sorry for themselves .....if your that fucked up in the head...do it and get the fuck off my planet before you mentally infect someone else and make them feel like shit as well

Here's an idea, Dana: If you just can't "understand" suicide... maybe you should do a little personal research.

Go ahead... try it for yourself. Maybe THEN you'll understand. And we'll find out if any of us actually feel any grief.

Win win!

so dana, any more personal view on the subject that you`d like to share with us? lol

Dana I'm going to make a suggestion that I'm sure might just do you and the rest of the world some good.

Because you seem to have a lot of idle time on your hands I suggest you volunteer some of it at a local mental health organization or even your local hospitals mental health section. Once you do that you just might gain some insight at the depths of despair some people get without having any means to control it.

Don't give us excuses why you can't do it because we won't believe you. Commit to a few months at minimum and then come back and tell us about your experience and how your eyes have been opened to the real world. Until then I respectfully request you keep your uneducated comments to yourself.

You are probably real pissed off right about now and if you are then I feel I've made an impact to some degree. While you're trying to calm yourself down here's some stuff for you to chew on.

My wife of just over 28 years has been batteling depression for the last 19 years, going into the 20th now. She hates it and is doing whatever she can to make herself well. As hard as it is I have stood by her side for the entire time and will continue to do so. Has she been suicidal? Yes, as late as two weeks ago. Is there ever a day that goes by that I don't want go home because I fear what may be behind the door? Nope.... Do I understand it even after all these years? Nope... and probably never will. These are not only my thoughts... I live this daily Dana so it shouldn't be taken lightly.

You need to read my most recent post as well. I put the challenge in your court as well.

I knew I couldn't have expected anything more from you. Dana even a chicken has more guts than you do. If their young are threatened they will at least shelter them. You run from reality.

I do not run from reality. i live it every day.

 

[Guyzerr]

I do not run from reality. i live it every day.

And because you haven't been inflicted with major depression that makes you an expert right.

Listen Dana you don't work and have nothing but time so get off your ass and go help someone instead of hiding behind a monitor pretending that everyone, God forbid, think just like you.

Now I'm going to ask you a very direct question that requires either a " Yes " or No " answer.
Do you have the courage to do what I suggested? Yes / No. No bullshit excuses, just answer the question.

Nope - you bore me either way, alive or dead. I just thought it might give me something to do for about 2 minutes - to see if I could tell which way I give a shit the least.
