Through my eyes please see what it really means to those around you, If you are one of those people who think suicide is a good thing, or you care about someone suicidal, or this just came up as something interesting, then just read.
You may think its a good way to relieve everyone, and even yourself-but its not. There ARE people who care. Even if you think everyone around you hates you, I'm telling you right now that, thats not true, its simply not. EVERY PERSON ON THIS PLANET has someone who will care for them, someone who empathizes, or someone that you mean the world to. You can't tell me otherwise, if you say its untrue, then you are not looking hard enough.
In my opinion suicide is a form of weakness. I've heard your comebacks to that: How is it weak? When I'm inflicting damage upon myself? It's weak because you are to thick headed to find another way to deal with your problems. I understand that being depressed happens, I know what its like to go through a hard life, contrary to popular belief. That doesn't mean you should give up all hope.
Committing suicide is a selfish act. You are only thinking of how it would make you happy, to never have to face the world again. What about those who love you? Are you sure that you really want to cause them so much pain, as to break apart of them, by leaving them to face the world alone? Does it mean so much to you that you must abandon those who would DIE for you, even if they didn't have to, when dieing doesn't appeal to them?
I know you think I'm like just another psychiatrist, but I'm not (no really, I'm not a psychiatirst). I'm trying to understand how you feel when you say: psychiatrists are mean people, they say they know what your going through, they say they understand, but they don't. Actually most of them do. It's true they have never lived in your exact life, they've never been in your body, but if you think of it that way, then nobody understands you, and you understand nobody. Most people who become psychiatrists, are there in the first place, because they want to help you, because they've been in about the same places/situations you have.
Something else I think you should know. Being depressed is an actual illness, that can be treated in most cases. When your thinking about suicide its most likely because of this illness. Being depressed is when your mind is negative, your not thinking in the right place, its not your fault, just know, that if you weren't ill, then suicide really would seem like a silly idea.
Please take all these things into consideration before you kill yourself, we all have to deal with life, its not easy, but we try. We only get one shot, and we need to try the best we can, for that is our most likely answer to true happiness.
If you are a friend, or family member of someone suicidal, or you just care about people in general, then please re-post this as: Careful Now, Don't give up
If you are someone suicidal, and you have read this whole thing, taking it into consideration, please re-post this as: I will take this into consideration...
Nothing bad will happen if you don't, it's just a way to prove that you care. Suicide is not to be taken lightly, its something very painful, and we need to help those who are hurting. I'ts not their fault, but its time to show that we care.
