Why do people consider Suicide wrong? Or otherwise treat it like a sickness and bad thing. I don’t think it always is.

This isn’t a disease although most things that end in death are considered a disease or injury.
This is me standing up for what I truly want and believe , who I am.
I don’t want to play this game. Games are elective and I do not consent.
I wish I was never born, or Someone or thing should have stopped me before I reproduced. I so want to check out but can’t without my kids blessing. I truly wish they would all just say “it’s ok. You can go we’ll be fine.”

I want permission to be suicidal or better yet permission to be dead. Thanks

Maybe I’ll say I’m going on a trip…

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.

@nonsensiclesnail You make some good points. But I'm still of the opinion that suicide is an acceptable way of leaving this physical reality. We're all going to leave at some point. Some leave right after they're born, some within a few months or years, some after several decades. The method by which one leaves, doesn't matter. We're all eternal beings creating our own realities. And when people leave earlier that those around them expected them to, and their loved ones are angry about that, it just means they don't understand the person who decided to leave just went about their leaving in a more deliberate way than others usually do. And I see nothing wrong with that.

People should have the right and freedom to do what they wish with their own lives.

@nonsensiclesnail Thank you very much for taking the time to share your thoughts. I got busy talking with a few people and then had to do some things. I didn’t get around to reading this until now. I agree with you about absolutes, and the need for purpose and not having one leaves a person feeling so empty and that personal growth through struggles is a consideration.
Thanks again
