What’s wrong with Suicide?

its an abrupt ending to someones story often for reasons or circumstance that begin to change soon after they are gone. Most people have very solid reasons to live and keep going, but when you cant see them, you assume it's fine. It's rarely fine. I cant say never, because absolutes often make any statement untrue. There are always options we don’t know about.

And who says you have to like life or be happy? If you see it as a game, maybe stop. Find a better way to reason through this garbage.

Ending your own life is undeniably heartbreaking for those who care about you, and devastating for those who love you deeply. But I get it—sometimes, it feels impossible to see beyond the walls of your own pain. Yet, the impact we have on the lives around us by the choices we make really do matter. It cuts a life short that was going to impact another and now those others have to wait for different opportunities. We impact each other.

And maybe it’s because of a lot of poor influences on yourself that you are in this moment. You might only need a change in perspective to completely change your life. You dont have to live in misery. And because you do, that doesn’t mean you have to end this life, you do need to end how you live this life.

Some turn to religious reasoning for comfort or understanding, but not everyone sees it that way. Sure, suicide is tragic, but how is it so different from accepting death when it comes knocking? The circumstances may differ, but the result is the same.

Still, the journey in between—the impact you make, the growth you experience, and the people you touch—carries meaning. Sometimes, it’s worth holding on just a little longer to see what might change.

It would be great if you could have a leaving party. In all seriousness, just a little get together so you could hug them and say bye properly.

As a rule though, I discourage everyone apart from myself from suicide.. Cause families are devistated and its a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

Suicide isn't only a sin against God, who gave you this great gift of life, and who, like any loving parent, keeps hoping you will enjoy it and learn wonderful things and grow from it so that when you enter the next life your spirit will be much more beautiful and strong.

It is also a sin against your family and friends. You give NO thought to what THEY will suffer, and the harm you will do to THEM when you leave in that horrible way.

Your thoughts are poisoned. Your thoughts are immature. I once had a thought like that...I was so angry that my mother had given birth to me...because she really made me suffer. But as I grew, even though parts of my life were absolutely horrible, I learned that there is incredible joy in the world. The beauty of nature alone is enough to make me want to fly, and sing!

My Uncle committed suicide. When I was 11 years old, I had a sort of psychic fore-knowledge that he wasn't going to be there the following year. And he wasn't. He was my dark haired handsome Uncle. I had a little girl sort of crush on him. But I was too young to know that he was also very badly wounded after Iwojima. He was in a lot of pain all the time, and suffered from PTSD. He received NO mental health help whatsoever from the V.A., because in those days, mental health issues were considered shameful.

He was also self medicating with alcohol. He became a drunk. He would come home drunk, shouting to his wife to let him in, and she wouldn't...not when he was drunk. Once, he was hollering out on the lawn below her kitchen window, and she took her pan full of dirty dishwater and threw it on him to sober him up.

Eventually the drink and lack of medical care took their toll, and he took his shot gun and shot himself in the head while sitting out in the yard in his pickup truck. His young sons found his body.

Imagine the horror of that.

He abandoned his wife and THREE young children. His daughter, the youngest, was only 13 at the time. His wife had to sell their house after paying for his funeral, and they had to move. She had to go to work, and her children had to raise themselves.

You had best believe that his family did NOT remember him fondly. He became a name that no one ever mentioned. My Aunt, his sister, only mentioned him once, when I asked why no one ever talked about my Uncle, whom I had loved. I had no idea she was SO angry. She told me that my Uncle was the most SELFISH person she had ever known.

And YOU. YOU want to torture your kids by asking permission. SELFISH doesn't begin to describe it. It's MONSTROUS.

Will you leave this earth without saying goodbye, will you check to make sure your kids are financially stable, are independent and happy in their own lives. Suicide is selfish but assisted suicide is different but still upsetting. If you’re not otherwise dying of a health condition, work on getting better and enjoy what time you have left on this planet.

So lets look at when suicide IS wrong...When you have responsibilities to family and loved ones and you are looking to escape them. Thats always wrong. And it makes you a coward.. And when you believe yourself to be punishing someone else by dying. Thats not just wrong. Its stupid as well. Even if does upset the intended person, you wont be there to see it..
Finally, religion has a lot to answer for here; making you believe that somehow there is a turn of the page. You have one life to live and this is it. Handle it with care. There are no refunds..😷

Having trained as a psychotherapist at one point where there was always this mantra about allowing the clients complete autonomy I found it odd that if they were seriously considering suicide as a therapist I was duty bound to expose that and inform others breaking our agreement of total confidentiality.

But surely complete autonomy should include whether they end their life or not?

I don't think it's about being wrong as much as it's about being selfish. If you felt that way then why even bring kids into the world? You said yourself that you wish someone would have stopped YOUR birth, but yet you brought them into the world, when YOU could have prevented theirs, hence, selfishness!

🤗 Please. It will destroy your families lives forever! Please Don't do it. You can be happy! You can take one day at a time, take good care of yourself. There are antidepressants like Prozac. There is volunteering, or helping out at a school, etc. Count your blessings. You could change your life if you hate yours.

And if it’s ok and a personal choice then why do people get hospitalized and drugged to stop them from doing it? To fix them, to fix their thoughts about not wanting to live.

But Not wanting to live isn’t wrong. It just goes against our nature. A nature that I reject.

Depends…can be very selfish or kind.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with suicide. There is no death. Your life is your consciousness, and consciousnesses survives physical death.

It's how I plan to leave this world.

I'm ok with the idea of euthanasia for incurable conditions that can save prolonged suffering and reduce the expense of lengthy care. But I don't like the idea of suicide as a way of escaping a mental health situation that can otherwise be cured.

Everything is relative. We have created such a luxurious and relatively easy existence for most people which has weakened the disposition and mental being of too many people. Many are unwilling to accept any adversity or hard work in their lives nowadays, or use social media to unfairly compare their lives to others.

They say in a society, weak people create tough times. We seem to be in this stage of societal evolution. Tough times will eventually create strong people...

People coerced me every day of my life. Family in particular would definitely coerce me into death by any means! Remember that.

There are circumstances under which I can understand it; suffering a painful, debilitating and ultimately terminal illness, for example. But I have known even people facing that who opted to hang on to the end. Still, I support physician-assisted suicide so that one has a choice.

On the other hand, I also had friends (and relatives) who took their lives facing problems for which counseling and time might’ve made a difference. I personally attempted suicide after I lost my husband and our son to a car accident. My mother found and saved me. I was grateful in time, but I will always regret that that was among the memories of me she eventually took to the grave. 😞

People who suicide can’t know the devastation they leave behind, or even the good things they miss. One dear friend who took her life in 2006 will never know that another of our group missed her so much he followed her a year later.
The rest of us rallied to help her children recover. And today, she has a granddaughter who looks just like her.

Yes, it’s frowned upon life is supposed to be a gift. Have you told your children about your desire to die?

Good question that has no answer. Many crimes similarly have no answer since the one committing it is just not bothered.

So the problem is in how the right & wrong gets established as the right dominates the not so right and pushes them into doing wrong as per books.

But in a democracy there must be a way for someone to surrender and say "I wish to stop living" and enter the wilderness.

NQA last resort

Plenty of good advise already, so I'll only say that you're not the first nor will be the last. Posting it on SW, I mean mainly. EP was much better that way too

Whenever you choose to make your transition (we create our own reality), it will be the most glorious trip of your (eternal) life. You'll finally be home, and you won't want to return.

They say it’s wrong for a few reasons. One is the pain and agony you will put on your loved ones when they find out. If you have any. However if you are an adult and that’s what you decide after all resources have been exercised. Then you will do what you think is right 🤷🏾‍♂

Have you ever explored the option of 'medically assisted suicide'?

It's against God and morally wrong to take a life, even your own.
