Suicide Quotes Quotes

“Tonight the thoughts were about how to end things, with a heavy emphasis on the how. The process of suicide isn't exactly easy. It takes preparation, scheduling, and a certain level-headedness to kill yourself. A person has to be ready for it. He has to make the necessary plans, take the necessary steps. And, most importantly, he has to not only feel like dying, but also like killing. And the two feelings couldn't be more different.”

“I couldn't see killing myself if I had a book that was only half-read: Fountainhead, Catcher in the Rye, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, One Hundred Years of Solitude? No. I figured that those who killed themselves first had to finish whatever book they were reading...if it were any good, that is. Of course, there's always the occasional book that makes you want to throw yourself off a bridge just for having wasted your time reading it. But I usually finished those ones, too.”
― Michael Anthony, Civilianized: A Young Veteran's Memoir

“It pisses me off when people tell me things like ‘it can’t be that bad,’ ‘It’s not the end of the world,’ and ‘think positively.’ It’s not that simple! I don’t think people who are uneducated about depression realize how crap it is to wake up angry or disappointed to be alive. Where there is nothing that makes you excited to get out of bed, your dopamine’s in the gutter and your anhedonia is boss. To battle with suicidal thoughts throughout the night. To slowly and painfully lose everything that gives you the x-factor. A place where food is disgusting and pleasure almost non-existent. Some days it genuinely feels like the end of the world, and trust me, it’s horrifying. It has been equally horrifying for those around me.”

― Ashley Winstead, The Last Housewife

“Today the causes of suicide are similarly unknown, but evidence from multiple sources suggests that certain types of treatments and interventions can reduce suicidal behaviors better than status quo practices, which often conceptualizes suicide as a symptom or outcome of mental illness. Consistent with this perspective, status quo practices target a patients diagnosed mental illness based on the assumption that reducing these symptoms or eliminating the psychological or behavioral disorder also will reduce or eliminate the risk of suicide.”

“THE BRIGHT ONES

Even the bright ones lose their glow
Even the royal lose their throne
Even the dancer’s feet grow sore
I can see your spirit elevated
In a majestic leap toward the sky
I can understand now
Why we wish upon the stars at night
Sometimes the ones we love wait quiet
Sometimes we lose them in an instant
Sometimes we don’t understand the reason
I can see your mind reeling
Pictures scattered across the floor
It should comfort us
These memories
But right now I want to wage a war
Even the bright ones lose their glow”
― Trisha North, To Those Who Die Awake

I can't seem to think rationally. Not sane.”
― K.M. Moronova, The Fabric of Our Souls
