Selfish??!!

Is suicide really selfish??? Why...it's my life!!!  Not everyone can be happy - not even most of the time.  Why should I be terminally miserable and therefore cause misery to everyone around me?  I can't be a good husband or father in that condition.  Therefore, I should be able to do what I feel needs to be done in my best interest; everyone that MAY initially get sad will get over it.  There's just too much for me to overcome: absolutely no self-love, no love for life, clinically/chronically depressed, etc...

I think to decide if suicide is really selfish you have to put yourself in the place of those that you are leaving behind. I know your in a dark place but maybe you should take the steps needed to be a good father instead of looking for a way out. My father is currently near death and when comparison to how he was a year ago he\'s not anywhere near the same man I knew or loves. Nonetheless though I would rather have him in the shape he is in than not have him at all. I would be willing to bet your family feels the same way regardless of what is said or thought. That\'s my opinion anyways.

...and I think to understand how I feel they have to put themselves in my place. There\'s no way out of this Hollow; NONE. Everyday I hate being here!!!

Maybe it\'s everyone else that\'s being selfish; making me stay here against my will to be miserable. I didn\'t ask to be here nor have I ever wanted to be here...not venting against you, just the world and this bullshit life I\'ve been assigned!
