Why does suicide seem like the only option ?

ambernichellle · 22-25, F
It isn't, you're focused on and magnifying what's upsetting you and depression is making you think that's it your only option when it is never really one to begin with. I have been there and got hospitalized for an attempt and I'm telling you that it is not worth it :( be safe

Only option for what? Suicide is NEVER an option. I am a survivor of someone who committed suicide...I have been cheated out of a life with a mother because of it, no mom to turn to for things girls need their moms for. Just don't. It's extremely difficult for those who survive that you don't intend to hurt. If you need help, call this number please.

@AngelaAnthony: as you point out, suicide only shifts the pain to someone else.
colourlessflower · 22-25, F
yes it does.

I think it's worth saying that very few people who feel this way have the intention to hurt anybody else - it's a state of mind that's like an implosion of your soul. My depression comes in waves that are completely consuming. They do pass, but it's overwhelming when they arrive. Had a big one yesterday, and I suspect it's just happened for you @colourlessflower. Hang on, clear your mind, and know you're not alone x
Similar Worlds is brilliant for these moments, and there's some great people here who'll help you through.

It isn't - trust me, I know how that feels, please read my question from yesterday if it helps. Only in as much as you're not alone x

its never the best option. i survived my attempt and there wasent any eternal bliss it was just dark n painful. more so than the rest. the only light i saw was waking up. so plz listen when i say there is so many better options. just look

I am tired of looking when there is no light to guide me. I am threading through darkness.

it took me a while to get over it. sometimes i dont even think i am. but the way i see it is now i can do all the things i couldnt before. if i could go through with suicide why not anything else? why not ask that girl out. why not chase that dream i thought impossible? suicide is never the option because once you think it is everything becomes possible. i tried suicide in jan this year. clinicaly dead for 3 mins 43 seconds. now i have an amazing woman by my side. were considering mooving in and maybe a family in a year or two. and thats enough for me

One single reason to end it.....a million other reasons to keep living.
Been there...planned it....and I'm still here because of my kids.

Hoping you're still with us 😕

Because negative thoughts call for more negative ones.

In reality suicide isn't be the only option, in most cases
Once you're gone, you're dead. There's no going back. Please watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtMQbVn_nkE
Because it seems simple, like the end, no more thinking, no more trying, but we might not really want this.

People who feel it's the only option feel that way because their mind isn't working properly.
