Your opinions on suicide?!
Question: Have you ever tried to commit suicide?
Was it a real and failed attempt or a cry for help? And do you get p****d off with people who say it's selfish? (For those who dont know it is soooooooo much more complicated than that!-and yes I have been on the receiving end of it too). And those who accuse of attention seeking if it wasn't?
And before anyone starts flapping and advising me to not try it, don't worry I'm asking with a clear head! Just curious. And I'm not sick either, I'm very educated in many ways about this....................

I never tried it but I am certainly considering it. I don't know if it's a cop out or not. I just know I hate the pain that I am feeling and have been feeling for a long, long time. I don't want to hurt anyone by doing this but I can't stand the way I am feeling. I just want it to go away. No one has the right to judge someone for the way they think or feel. You have no idea what is going on inside the head of a suicidal person. Most attempts are not a sign of wanting attention. I know I DON'T want attention...I just want to feel peace. I don't want to hurt anymore.
its so taboo it is not funny!
It's selfish. And yes, I was also on the recieving end of it - until I smartened up and realized that life really wasn't that bad.
It's a permanent solution, to a temporary problem.
Wouldnt do it. It is a selfish act.. And it is a p***y way out.
more room and jobs for me
Its a one-way ticket to HELL
I've never tried. It's too permanent.
my view is attempted suicide is nothing but a cry for help.
if you want to end it all, it really isnt that hard. jump from tall building, run onto motorway, hang yourself.
people who cut themselves a bit or swallow 10 paracetamol are attention seekers.
Nothing is good about it. It's so final. Also it's a sin. You can not pray for Forgiveness when you are dead.
No ive never tried...or felt like trying.
its a personal choice people have reasons i guess?
It's for weak people.
But i'm not one to talk....
I never do anything I can't do more than once.
Suicide is a waste of a person. That's my opinion. It is a complete waste.
Regardless of how complicated it is, there is a selfish aspect to it, although perhaps not one that is realized in the slightest.
Nope I've Never Tried To Commit Suicide... Besides It is Forbidden In My Religion.. In Islam.. If A Person Commits Suicide They Will Go Straight to Hell...
BTW ... Interesting Question
I have never tried. I think its an easy way out a lot of the times and it doesn't help the people left behind.
It is NOT selfish.
It is a last resort.
i've thought about it. but i would never do it. and no, i don't think it has anything to do with selfishness. sometimes, people feel like they can't get through life. but the truth is, it's a horrible thing to do. it's a complete sin. you end up hurting so many people. and, god never puts you through something he knows you can't get through.
[sorry if you aren't christian]
Sometimes it can be for attention but most of the times people who are so miserable and feel they cannot stand to be alive for another day, feel like they have no options but to kill themselves.
It might be seen as selfish, but then again these people who commit suicide are normally in terrible situations, and alot of the time not in the right frame of mind.
A few of my friends have killed themselves, and to me they were the happiest, most beautiful people i have ever met, but were going through some truly horrible things.
So dont judge unless you've been through it or know someone who has. These people dont know what else to do.
Peace
it is selfish ... & that is my opinion.
that is how i see it. if you are so low that you are thinking it, then the only place to go from there is up. you are @ your lowest point. seeking help is the best option, not taking your life.
i don't know anyone who hasn't thought of it, including me - but that is not an option for me ... getting help & talking about what is bothering you, making you sad ... that is what will help.
i have thought about committing suicide but thank god i didn't cause i love my life now. if i would have then i wouldn't have met my guy. n i would 've miss seeing my sister grow up. it was just a thought. i felt like i was going through a very deep depression. it lasted for about 5 or 6 years.
I've never attempted, nor wanted to, but my grandmother did and it has affected our entire family. My mother has never been the same.
In her case it was definitely not an attention thing. But yes, I believe it was selfish.
Two things are for sure about suicide:
If successfully accomplished, it takes away all the opportunity to improve the situation which led up to it and steals away all chance of future happiness
and
Althought the suicidist may find relief from their anguish, it is only the beginning of the pain they are inflicting upon those who care about them. There is no painless suicide, it is just a matter of who suffers.
DON'T DO IT there's always a way round it.
I think it's a very negative way to look at things. i think it's jumping to conclusions and I think it's boring and weak. I mean, to let yourself live in such negativity driving you to want to commit suicide, it's so self- indulgent. There's more to life than what you know. Go look for it. Don't harp on how bad things are. I've been through a whole lot too, but I keep my head up, and I dont drown in my sorrows. I look of ways to make things better for myself.
You either do or u dont.
Nobody else's business.
Its tradgic, and a shame that a lot of people that are suicidal do ask for help, but are sent home repeatedly! I think many people that say its selfish, don't fully understand and have never been there, haven't gone home begging to die. When you are suicidal all you can think about is to get rid of the pain, you are not capable to think beyond that.
I was suicidal once, 4 weeks after my lovely took me off my antidepressants cold turkey without support (it was for a medical reason in his defense but I was told to only bother coming back if the rash hadn't gone). My theory was if I could just get to sleep I'd be ok, and the sadness won't be as bad, so I overdosed. I didn't do this to kill myself though I didn't care if I'd accidentally died as a result, I did it to get rid of the suicidal thoughts, and it worked.
I did try and it was a cry for help, but I didn't get any help. I ultimately helped myself out of it without depending on family/friends but with a good therapist and good doctor. family/friends are all selfish. people who say suicide is selfish don't know what they are talking about. Why is it selfish? 'Because we are hurting our family by killing ourselves'- honey, we are killing ourselves because the family doesn't care any more whether we are hurt or not! So where does the selfishness come in???? And I don't want to hear any more nonsense about religious objections to suicide.And the people who accuse potential suicides of attention seeking are a bunch of rotten 'I'm-so-good-and-happy-and-satisfied' self-righteous self-proclaimed angels. Unless you have been there you don't know what it is like.
It is senseless and it doesn't solve anything!My cousin left a beautiful baby daughter behind and now her daughter is living with grandma and wondering why her mother committed suicide!!! Very sad!!!!
I have seen all three sides of this question I have had one former friend and not because they tried committing suicide but because they really needed help cried out by cutting his arm open with a fishing knife the other friend would pretend she was going to kill herself or talk about it alot for attention which wasn't a good thing and she should have never done but I had to take it seriously because you never know when someone actually might do it. I also felt suicidal in the past but I know that it's a permanent decision to temporary problems.
Suicide is sweet if done in style. I plan my death for example to be a hail of gunfire. As I have a shoot out with police.
