People think it's a selfish act, and maybe sometimes it is. I think most of the time it is just the mind betraying them.
Basically... depression and mental health is a real problem. Doesn't matter if you have a great family etc that shit catches up to you. Their brains are definitely not acting normal. Sad loss, and I've dealt with suicide up close and still living with survivors guilt. [Reply]
Speaking as someone who was suicidal during the teenage years and did attempt it at least once, I know for me there wasn't this grand plan about it. Something would happen and this switch would just flip in my head and I would think everything would be better if I was dead. It was almost a spur of the moment thing. At that point I wasn't thinking logically or in touch with reality where I thought death was the best option in solving whatever issue flipped that switch even though that issue was incredibly minor.
Thankfully, I have grown out of that even though from time to time the thoughts still creep in but I am able to dismiss them.
You have to understand that with people with the suicidal ideation when that trigger goes off in their mind, they aren't thinking rationally or logically. [Reply]

Thanks. It just bugs me when people who haven't had that mental issue try and blame the person who did commit suicide by giving rational reasons to why they shouldn't of.
The fact is that people who do commit suicide like this simply are not thinking rationally. Their thought process only sees the positive of suicide and won't let them compare positives or negatives of the act. Hell, it will spin negatives into positives. [Reply]
