Nice post. If someone chooses to kill themselves in case of a terminal illness it is after careful, rational consideration based on hopeless circumstances, whereas suicide where freedom of choice, health, etc remains has to be irrational...

It all comes down to perception for sure.trouble with depression is it obscures perception so objectivity is down to a minimum. No-one is totally objective of course (not even the terminally-ill patient, making that decision) but a depressed person is probably seeing far, far less of how things really are than the average person, so they are in a terrible position to make any kind of decision, let alone whether to end their own life.


Yeah that's a good point. The illness itself causes the irrational judgement which leads the sufferer to believe that she has "tried everything" or that "nothing will work for me," etc.

It makes me think of Hunter S. Thompson, shot himself at like sixty-something. He seemed drug-fucked of course, but not unhappy or depressed exactly. Of course I've never met him personally, so I can't say for sure, but it would seem somehow wrong to me if his family had had him committed or something after hearing about his plans. He wanted to die at 64 (or whatever) so he did. Who am I to tell him he can't, ya know?

well if i had of gone through with it when i felt that low i wouldnt be here and having the great life i do now. blushing was my main problem. i blushed at everything. but there are ways of reducing it and even curing it. like www.blushpage.com for example. dont give up

try anything before you even think of suicide. life is to precious.

if u r dead it has beaten u. so you beat it instead. and be strong

Oh my god I am so so sorry!!! Crying or Very sad

I totally forgot I had made this thread and I am so sorry to anybody who thought I killed myself. My situation is not any better but I am still alive. It boiled down to me not having the guts to *****. I have held a cocked crossbow to my temple on multiple occasions but have never actually been able to pull the trigger. I guess I was hoping to "slip". I can't promise that I won't do that again, but for now, I am still here and I am terribly sorry to anybody who was worrying over me. And thanks for all the advice, I will read through everything.

Im pretty close to the edge.Just lost the one friend i have. Sucks to see him hang out with his 50 friends and just get along with everyone. Ive missed highschool so i just like have no humor i don't know whats funny, Ive missed socializing with all the teenagers. Im pretty miserable:( I just wish i wasnt so far behind, i feel like i have no chance at all to be normal. Havent been t any highschool/college parties ugh life sucks . I feel suicide is worthy in some cases. But its best to try your best before you give up. But yeah Kill this thread;)!!!

Well it's good to hear you're still ok...

Why do you even own a crossbow? And do they really cock? I thought only guns did that.
