As much as I saw in movies and real life, people suicide and kill themselves for many reasons. I just don't get why are they really want to die and end their lives just like that?

Well I had the feeling of suicide before when I was a child. When you want to kill yourself, you feel you are worthless to the world and well you feel dying will be alot better. Its the depression that drives people to suicide. Its the feeling of emptyness especially if you cry alot. The sadness drives people to commit suicide.

My suggestion against it are to act happy and look at the positive thing syou have in life. Some people are missing limbs and are starving and in worse condition than you. Looking at brighter side helps.

Obvious isn't it?
The world is a cruel place
Humans don't forgive.....
World full of sin and hatred.....

It's not a pretty place to live in like you see on TV or anime.....
True happiness is just a fantasy

The reason is they're living in the moment and think nothing else beside it.
I go by my saying: "Think Outside The Moment"
People are so caught up in the moment like a parent's feud, divorce, a relationship gone wrong, death of a loved one, etc. they never think beyond that thou.
Like what tomorrow will look like...some don't get to see the next day's sunshine.
Suicide is all in their mind and the next day isn't hard to find.
People try to escape and hide from life but it's sad how some can't see how kind and what a beautiful sight it is.
Life is just to.....irreplaceable to lose it. Some are careless and take it away...form themselves.

I once was in a deep, deep depression... So deep, killing myself WAS an option and would have been so easy.

Depress from what you ask? What were the reasons?... Ha, you ask...

Like some song says :

'' Welcome to my life... ''

I've always been a reject at school, had no or so few friends, I'd come bake home with tears in my eyes all my childhood. In high school, same thing. But it wasn't tears everyday; it was sadness in my heart.

Waaay worse. I sometime got bullied and laugh at, I sometime rage on the guy and get him what he deserved but got worse, I think you all get the idea of the HELL rejected kids live at school.

It all pilled up until each little frustrations, and I mean ANY kind of frustrations would make that pile of pain go unstable and almost collapse in me. When it did, and it DID happen, I was sitting on the edge of my bed, looking at my floor, tears flowing own to my knees and I said to myself :

''I can't take it no more. I have no future, I hate school, I hate being a reject, I'm a loser, no one loves me except my mom, but she won't be there for me all my life, I need a life, I want a future but what?... And what kind of life is that: Go to school, eat study, sleep... Go to school, eat [etc]. WTF will I do later, I can't take this any more...''

And I kept these thoughts coming none-stop and believe me, you feel so depress, you can't think properly anymore. You are no more rational.

When you feel like this, you don,t have a ''reason'' or a specific ''why'' for that sadness... Your muscles goes numb, you whole body ain't reacting no more, you're veg and you can't think of ANYTHING clearly, and but what you DO HAVE IN MIND is :

''I wanna end it. End this pain. I wanna end it. ''

I went through the pain of suicide thoughts and sooo close to the suicide act... But as you may have noticed: I'm still ALIVE and didn't put an end to my great life! lol

Why? Why I didn't end my life? Ahh... The BIG WIDE W H Y !

I'd say God. I think it's the only thing that saved me that day. GOD. Here's why and the reason's so fantastic :

All I know is that I was hopeless, was about to kill myself and wasn't able to wake up from this dizzlin-saddening feel and kept thinking about ending my life.

Suddenly, I started to think not about me but about all the people that my death would trouble! My pain was such a piece of shit compare to THAT! The sight of my family crying over my tomb, my room empty, my friend's tears, what would the others think? ''Why did he do that?'', ''We had no idea he was depressive'', ''OMG! Why him? He was so kind and calm!''

Suddenly, I noticed that my life had an effect, direct or not on a lot but a LOT OF PEOPLE!

Think about that next time you feel depressed. It's way better than anything you can come up with. Like telling yourself some guy in Africa is starving to death has nothing to do with your problems, right? But what about your brother? your sister, mom, dad etc.. What would happen to THEM if you die? Huh?

Thinking is the key. That's what saved me... and it wasn't really me that made me think those things, that why I say God...

FINALLY, next time you can ask yourself : ''why would someone kill himself'', well, try to remember a moment in your life when YOU were angry, frustrated, sad or in deep chock, try to remember what YOU were thinking... Quit sure something like:

''I wanna kill that guy, he's so mean to me'' or ''What have I done to deserve this... '' '' Why me'' '' I sick tired of [this/that/him/her/etc]''

Suicide thoughts doesn't come like this, it's the build-up of pain above pain above pain until you can't take it anymore.

Now, I'm sharing this with some people I freakin don't know, Don't even know if someone is actually gonna read this to the END! (lol that's the classic thing to say in forums, right huh? :P )

I hope it helps someone out there to understand and have a better idea of what makes people want to commit suicide.

WHAT!?! It's 4 in da morning! Woohaaa! Now I gotta go sleep! What a long text! LOL
See ya all!

Wow! You wrote so much. Don't worry, I read it all. It's so cool that you can overcome your suffering and loneliness so that you could realize that you deserve to live and life is better than you think.

I think that one shouldn't end their lives too soon. Especially teenager. They are the most emotional type of people and easily hurt. They have to go to school and socialize with other people. Some just realize that they don't belong anywhere, except at home (like me ). But that is the key. Family is there to support you and to give you the help you need. If you die, I think about it sometimes (as imagination, I don't wanna die yet), how will they react? They might even die after you. And their friends or whoever will be very sad.

Some might say that what I said just a load of crap and that NO ONE care about them, even their familiy. The father is drunk, the mother always gamble, stuffs like that or they don't even have parents at all. Well, I still say that no one deserve to die; and no one should either. It's just stupid. Your life is still long (or short, depends) and there are people whose lives are gonna end the next second or so.

You have to live so that you can meet people who care about you. There is at least one for every person, I believe. They will understand you and be your friends and always be there for you. You just have to wait until that person come.

If you *think* you don't need or don't want a friend, you are wrong, no one can live alone. It is boring, it is lonely and it is no fun at all. But I'm not gonna argue with you. If you think that the world is a dark place, and is full of injustice, CHANGE IT! Speak up. You should have free speech, get education, and change things that are wrong. It's just like something I read before:

"The only who's able to save you is you, yourself. You're free to die. Nothing changes even if you die. However, if you live, there will be something that will change."

Meh...

I don't agree that the only person that can save you is yourself. I Do believe that you can accept to be save and that decision is yours, but you can't save yourself!

We are weak and we must depend on someone, something. My choice is so simple and is already made.

Thanx for the reply!

it's their way of escaping from the situation that they're in. they feel the need to escape from the reality they don't like. it makes them so frustrated that the only solution they see is to end their life. they do not see their problems in a third person's view which clouds their judgment over things.

Quote by alheerait's their way of escaping from the situation that they're in. they feel the need to escape from the reality they don't like. it makes them so frustrated that the only solution they see is to end their life. they do not see their problems in a third person's view which clouds their judgment over things.

I agree with this statement. Some times the stress of life becomes too much to bear, and the person becomes desperate to end it by any means. The problem is that this desire soon becomes their sole priority, to the point where everything around them becomes meaningless, both the good and the bad. They could be making the entire world around them so happy, and yet still be consumed by their own negative emotions. Their desperation eventually becomes so strong, they either don't figure in or just don't care about the after effects of their actions, in particular how the people around them will react.

The danger of desperation: push a person far enough down this path, and they become capable of anything.

Eh, how old are you?

Younger people don't usually understand why people would want to die. That's probably because they can't show any empathy to a suicidal person's situation.

There was a time in my school where being suicidal was becoming a 'thing'; around the time where the term 'emo' was rising to it's current popularity. I was actually hearing about people just cutting there wrists areas just for the heck of it, and in public. That has to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard of so far.

But anyways. To answer the question 'why' ...

Well, everyone has their limits, no? There is always a point where you can't take anymore. Take holding your breath under water for example. Once you reach your limit, where you can't take anymore, you'd get your head out of the water, right? How do you think someone would respond to something devastating? There's stuff like drugs, alcohol, and ... death.

Edit. You could also think of it as sickness, and the medicine. Medicine being the obvious. When there is a problem, it's only natural to find some kind of relief.

Edit 2. Wow, I just noticed how old this thread is .. It's going to closed soon. But before that happens, I'd like to acknowledge Rpgmaker2's post. You've mentioned the subject about school and being accepted, and what saved you from suicide.

First of all, I don't think that you should feel 'rejected.' You pretty much been accepted, haven't you? You have friends, like you've said, right? The term 'reject' sounds more suitable for a person that absolutely has no friends, which is probably unlikely. You don't have to be the popular kid that everyone seems to like.

I've thought about suicide, but not seriously. More like brain storming it so I could understand. And so far the only thing that would stop me was what stopped you. What would family and friends do.? What would they think. What would they say? Thoughts like that always lead me to tears. Suicide will never be an option for me.
