In response to Bellastina:
" Did you guys ever consider that maybe these people actually do mean what they say there is just an overwhelming source keeping them alive. I would have killed myself years ago if my mum didn't love me so much and was so sick from cancer because i would never do that to her. Even though it means everyday of misery for me. Suicide is so fucking selfish but sometimes it seems like the only option."
Good one Ballistina for undermining people as fucked up as precious you.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
The "surviving" people after a suicide generally have a better quality of life than the person who seeks suicide.
you were a little harsh on her, dont you think???
My father had her attitude until i took over 50 anti physcotics. I meant she better be careful what she says, she seemed TO ME like she was challenging those who threaten it to see if they are for real. Me for one wouldn't need to threaten my family if they had done a better job. It's not always an empty threat its just how people feel at that time. People often wish they were dead but don't really consider it, its our perogitive as humans to feel that way. Noone should say things on this site to cheapen others pain in ANY way. If its any consolation i have anger and regret problems and will probably feel real bad about this once the anger wears off. Then again i know the story of the person she was initially responding to, and although she reacted ok to it, it could just have easily gone the other way..

Young people just don't have enough life experience to realize that life goes on, they are not being selfish, they just don't have the experience to deal with life.
Selfish suicides usually have f*^k you motive behind it. An intent to harm survivors. But, others just give up because they can't deal with what life has to offer.
No matter the reason, it hurts the survivors, being one myself, I can attest to that.
I don't know if suicide is selfish or not. Maybe if you know you are going to devastate loved ones in doing it and then do it, then yes it's selfish. On the other hand it's the very fact that it would totally destroy my husband and daughter that I haven't done it and hang on, my dog. On another note I think suicide is not for cowards. A friend of ours killed himself a little over a year ago. One of our club members called him a coward. NO way. I am a coward, Larry wasn't. It takes some guts to shoot yourself in the head. Not this little black duck. Suicide to me it a final escape from overwhelming pain. I cried for 3 days over Larry, if only I had know. We saw him only a few hours before he did it. Do you know how that feels? Terrible that's how. Anyway, that's all folks.
I dont agree with attacks and meanness, but she can do what she wants.
One thing that I know for sure...I don't want to argue and fight over this, regardless of whether or not she might feel like it.
Peace..Love...Earth..Hope
I think both you and Bella have made valid points. Let's not busy ourselves fighting over it when there are people in posts next door who really need our help, k?
Change may be the ultimate goal here, but the flip-side is, like any and all actions we take, there are consequences. Remember folks, the law of physics... for every action there is an equal and opposite action. I firmly hold the position that this resonates in all realms of existence. Anytakers?????
