Hiatus
I used to help but i gave up, many didn't even checked the global hotlines i send to them, and instead of even checking it, they kept yelling or wanted more attention, this is where i stopped, also the whole 'it's the solution of all the problems', nah, you are dead, this is not a video-game, you have only one life..Outside of voluntary euthanasia for incurable and fatal diseases in their final stages, suicide is selfish. Suicide affects the people who find your body. Suicide affects the people who have to clean up your body, and distribute your belongings. Suicide affects the people who cared about you, it affects your coworkers, it affects the society in which you live, it affects your community. No action happens in a vacuum and pretending that something as utterly fatalistic as suicide does is sheer lunacy.
If you're seriously contemplating going through with it, call the fucking suicide hotline. The majority of people who feel suicidal end up doing so because they have a treatable mental disorder, not because they're genuinely feeling coherent! Don't listen to people who tell you to actually do it, or that it's okay--it's not. It's the end of your life. Even ignoring how it can affect other people, you only get to live once, and then you are dead. Everything you could have been, everything you could have accomplished, all the genuinely good things you could have done for other people's lives, all the marvelous things you could have seen and experienced, would be wasted... And you would push the emotional burden of your death onto everyone around you, and the financial and administrative cost of dealing with your corpse onto people who already lead incredibly stressful lives.
Suicide is inherently selfish. It's allowing your sorrow and loss to utterly consume you, rather than fighting it. The consequences of actually going through with it are permanent for you, and harming for everyone else involved in dealing with it afterwards.
That being said, some who fight with the demons in their head, sometimes lose. And sometimes, when they lose, their demons drive them to suicide. That's tragic. I don't think any less of the people who do actually go through with it--I feel pity for them. However, to pretend that it's anything other than a selfish and self-destructive act, that is typically driven by mental disorders or extreme stress? That's naive at best. Disingenuous at worst.
also thank you for posting this, i got tired of it.
