Why would someone kill himself?!


Question: Well there could be a variety of reasons. It might be because they have a fatal disease and don't want to live through the slow, painful process of dying from it. It could be because they are suffering with severe depression or another mental illness which means that they think there is no other way. It could be another reason. I tried to kill myself a few times when I was a teenager. In my case it was because I was depressed and stuck in a situation that I couldn't see any way out of. I was being abused but had no one to tell and no way of stopping it by myself. I had tried to get help and nothing had come of it. I felt trapped. I also had such low self esteem and self worth that I thought the world would be a better place without me. Seriously, I used to feel guilty for breathing, I used to have anxiety attacks because I felt like I was using up oxygen which I had no right to. So those are the reasons why I tried to do it. I have lost three people I loved to suicide too. One was because, at the age of 23 he realised that he had been beaten pretty much every day of his life and he just didn't want to deal with it anymore. He didn't believe it was possible for his life to improve. One of them took an overdose whilst she was literally out of her mind. The other, we will never ever know why she did it. I don't think many people realise to what extent depression can take over your mind. Hopelessness is a common symptom of depression after all. I guess that would be why many people kill themselves, because they have no hope.

Out of spite. 9 times out of 10 somebody kills themselves to get back at somebody or to get somebodies attention. It's the "I'll show them!" Attitude. Though I dont know how they think they'll be satisfied with getting even or what they think they'll do with that attention. After all they'll be dead.

Why not?

Good question. I don't understand that either. I guess its because they are tired of being here and something is hurting them too much.

They probablly don't want to kill themselves but living every moment in tourcher & constantly having to try get too much.

Sometimes loneliness or if they're depressed & trying to seek help, but no one wants to give them an open ear to listen & they put too much pressure on that person & blame him/her for his/her problems. When people feel like, "No one loves me. I'm never gonna succeed in life, so what's the purpose of living in pain if everything I do is wrong?"

when the pain and struggle of life outweighs the benefits of living it, and there seems to be no hope for improvement in the future.
often something as simple as cardio excercise and vitamins are enough to tip the balance.

beracuse there incensivite assholes who cant handle the pressure of life its life dude GET USED TO IT!!!!!!!!! people who kill themself really do deserve what they get dead is dead its the people that are left that are suffering
thats my opinion
beacuse there depressed adn dont think why they should live they think there life is so horrible they just need to end the pain or they see no reason to live
WTF?????? to get back at somone????
"this will make you sorry mom you should have never put pepper on my taco" LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well last week I tried to kill myself because I was feeling worthless and that I only caused pain in peoples lives...not for revenge or to put it in peoples face or for attention like the first guy said...alot of people do do it for those reasons though...
