You know when someone reaches that certain point in their life where their quality of life just is not what it should be we should have the right to end it if that is what we want without anyone telling us what we should do!!! Right now it takes more then I have to go day after day and for what?!?!? I messed up the first time but not again!!! Life is not worth it after a certain point!!! |

I'd say that would depend upon your reason for ending it all. Revenge? "I'll show them all"? "They'll be sorry when I'm dead"? Consider the guilt many people feel when a loved once commits suicide, and spare THEM the pain (however great your own may be). |

My good friend Tel is a suicide survivor- his younger brother hung himself almost 15 years ago. He;s been treated for depression multiple times himself since then and every weekend takes flowers to his brothers grave and sits there asking himself if he could have stopped it, why didn't he recognise the signs? Would you really want to do that to anyone who gives a damn about you? Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |

wrote: *"They'll be sorry when I'm dead"? * A long time ago when I was the ugly fat teenage girl- some so called friends used to tell me so and so wanted to dance with me then have a game where they'd bring some guy forward who'd take one look at me then run off screaming- I had minus zero confidence, a mother (who although I feel guilty about saying it because I did love her or at least wanted her to love me as much as she did my brothers although to be realistic I would have had to grow a penis) who on a daily basis kept that confidence level at minus zero One night I actually picked up a bottle of aspirin from the kitchen, went to the bathroom, opened the bottle looked at it and thought "They'll be sorry when I'm dead" At this point my rather more prosaic personality kicked in and suddenly I screamed (mum yelled at me to shut up) "THEY WON'T BE SORRY THEY'LL BE GLAD! WHY SHOULD I MAKE THEM GLAD? AM I SO DESPERATE FOR THEIR APPROVAL THAT I AM GOING TO KILL MYSELF FOR A BUNCH OF PEOPLE WHO WILL BE HAPPY IF I AM DEAD?! SOD THEM I AM GOING TO LIVE AND ANNOY THE HELL OUT OF THEM FOR JUST BEING AROUND?!" And that's been my motto ever since-I ain;t gonna kill myself just because someone doesn't like me, because like when I had this thing at work recently the manager involved would have loved to have the drama of me topping myself so she could look good and add "crisis management" to her CV- why should I do what she wants and give her the pleasure? Still around and still annoying people ain;t gonna top myself just cos someone does not like ,me/approve of me or whatever- no one has ever had that power over me and as I get older I get harder- guess what- the fat ugly teenage girl who didn't bow down is now quite starting to like herself.....And I have just today booked in for the deep purple lowlights I have always ....I am goin' purple next Friday!

Consider the guilt many people feel when a loved once commits suicide, and spare THEM the pain (however great your own may be). If someone is planning suicide for revenge, then the guilt and pain is *exactly* what they want, so asking them to consider it probably won't be much of a deterrent. In that case, I'd ask them to consider the fact that while they might cause pain to the people who hurt them, they're not going to be around to enjoy it, so what's the point? However, there was nothing in kraut's post that made me think he was out for revenge. Joyce -- I'm in favor of animal liberation. Why? Because I'm an animal. -- Edward Abbey |

I'm sorry you feel so terrible that you don't want to live any more. I've certainly felt that way at times, but it's always passed. To me, you sound more angry at yourself than anything else. If you have someone to talk to about whatever's going on, even a stranger (such as at a suicide hotline), I strongly suggest it. That probably won't make your problems go away, but it might help you get into a more rational frame of mind for dealing with them. Purrs, Joyce -- I'm in favor of animal liberation. Why?

Joyce OP's oblique post not indicative of "what he's out for" but directed at a poor choice of audience; thus my referral to more suitable ng's for discussion of his problems further. My minimal opinion is and will remain my last. Hope OP has found a more useful forum, as this thread is reduced to speculation. I don't care for speculation, particularly about names on a monitor. IMHO it sounds like "birthday blues". MLB |
