Backstory discussion

Ever had some? Ever attempted it? SHARE!!!

No, I believe that suicide is a coward's way out. Simple as that, I am not a coward. So I live my life to the best of my ability and take each day as my last.

but what if someone's life is unbearable?

No offense but it's still a coward's way out.

don't make that assumption til you've been in their shoes

Oh I have, that is why I say these things.

Actually, I have never tried ,even never thought seriously ....but i think sometimes they can be justified...what if u have no family? what if you are raped? what if there's no one who loves?....would you still breathe?would you still live?

I don't know I was in 8th grade and I was being bullied and hated for being the nerd I am. But hey, that's ancient history! Suicide (no offense) is for cowards!

GUYS THIS IS NOT A DEBATE ON IF SUICIDE IS RIGHT OR NOT! IT IS MORE OF A SUPPORT THREAD! DO YOU'RE DEBATING ELSEWHERE!

I agree.

*bows*

xD

Um, sorry , I mean , really sorry...

Go Julia!

Okay, fine...

Tried once...every once in a while i wish it'd worked, but yeah. Just gotta say, not fun

And btw people who think it is a cowards way out have never been under enough stress or enough pressing or enough soul crushing depression to understand why people feel the way that we do. We don’t think about or try to commit suicide just because ‘oh my life kinda sucks, I think im gonna kill myself’ its way more terrible than that. For us we see that we have NO OTHER OPTION and that suicide would be a semi relief from the life that we lead even if there is no going back, even if we don’t know whats on the other side (please no religious comments about going to hell) Lets just say, your only mum an dad were killed in a murder in your own home, and now you live with your uncle who comes in your room at night and sexually abuses you and threatens to do way worse things to you if you tell anyone. All your friends at school have abandoned you because you’ve become emotional and you have noone to turn to, nothing to look forward to, noone to live for. You have two options that seem reasonable to you, two options that you feel you can choose, One: Spend years with your uncle spending every night living in fear and every day being harrased and bullied at school, never feeling safe again and then living your life scarred with these memories,never being able to lead a normal life. Or two: kill yourself and be done with the endless torture and finally have a little peace. Idk bout you but id go for option two. Im not saying to go kill yourself im just trying to defend the people who have from the people who go and say that they were worthless cowards when all they ever were, was scared people who had nothing left, who had noone to turn to, and might still be here if people hadn’t called them nothings

preach it

I can agree with that. If your life is a living hell why live it? But still, there will always be a way out! I really don't want this to turn into a religious discussion but if anyone at all is feeling that way, they should get help, call a helpline or most of all, go to church!!! Everyone there will help and change you most likely. I go to church and the community there is amazing-that community will absolutely help anyone who's feeling suicidal :)

some places like that though aren't as helpful as they seem...some places (like churches) throw u aside because they believe u have the "devil" inside u because of thoughts. plus other places think u need to b put in a crazy house when all u really need is a well deserved hug

I know but some churches will listen. But if the church isn't the way to go, then they should call helpline or someone-anyone-that specialises in those with depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts or anything related. They will definitely listen and help

yeah I guess I've just had a bad experience with churches an therapists....been like 4 times 4 same reason and its worse everytime

What i do is find someone i can talk to and trust and talk to them about stuff, which helps somewhat

*claps*

People say death is the easy way out. It's not. If you have ever seen someone die you know this. Suicide is pointless, and you know what survivors said their feeling was as they thought they would die. Regret.

its not what they think afterward though

Wait what???
I think she's talking about when the person thinks they're dying, they're usually not at peace even if they were just moments before with the thought of dying.

I personally get so sad when I think about suicide. Obviously not everyone can be saved from it, but I wish they could be.

Excuse me for asking, but have you ever had anything traumatic happen to you in your lifetime?

most people arguing against suicide and it being a cowards way out have either never been through it or have but are ashamed they were. (if you have and not one of these types, excuse me) but honestly its different for anyone. something that one person is taking well might tear someone else down quickly
