Is it always wrong to consider ending your life by suicide?
Question Posted Wednesday February 8 2012, 10:14 am
When I read your words re suicidal thoughts I thought it could have been something I wrote... including the reason why you didn't do it. Because it would hurt ppl too much. Lately I think they would understand. I am not depressed. I don't feel like I don't belong. I just feel like I have had all that this life has to offer. I am tired & ready to move on.
I may have been one of the advisers who answered you. If I did and I told you about the time I had some thoughts of suicide it was because I was in real physical pain for which I could not get help due to impediments that were put in my way by various legal actions that had to be cleared. In the end they were cleared in my favor.
In the nearly 18 months from the time I was injured until the different insurance companies finally decided who was at fault, not me, and that I was truly injured. I was in real and deep pain. On the 10 scale they use to measure pain my daily pain levels were off the chart. A good day was a 10.
I don't see this in your writing. "I am tired & ready to move on." How old are you? What are you tired of? Even handicapped as I am I have learned that there is something new to learn each day. I have learned that I have knowledge to share and the reason I write the column.
To me being ready to move on means and always has meant finding new challenges. Challenges are out their to be found, even in today's economy. There are things to be learned, causes to championed many things I have found to occupy my time and mind.
Suicide may have ended my pain, it would not have cured it. It would have caused great pain to those I love and who love me. I would not have had the opportunity to make the new friends that I have made. I would have missed a lot had I given any credence to those thoughts.
Suicide is never the answer or the solution. If you want help help is available. Please call this number 1-800-273-TALK. This is the national suicide hotline. They will talk with you as long as you need to and then help you get the help you need. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

Move on to something defiantly a new hobby. A new career. I mean if you feel you have had all that life has to offer than it seems to me you are depressed but you aren't noticing or you are not sure why you are. I suggest talking to someone about these feelings. [ Sweet_LiL_Angel's advice column | Ask Sweet_LiL_Angel A Question ]

People who lose family or friends to suicide don't understand why that person chose to end their life. Even if people feel depressed or that life no longer has anything to offer. Well it does, you just have to find the beautiful and inspirational parts of life. I feel the same way sometimes, but I remember what I love so much about everything and what makes me happy. Regain your motivation. Life is so short, in the long run, suicide makes it shorter and more painful. Everybody will die eventually, you have to enjoy the time you have with everybody instead of cutting it short. Suicide is NOT the way to go.

1.) it leaves people wondering why you did that and what they did wrong (especially your parents and relatives)
2.) You only get one life and it's like throwing your life away.
3.) You only get one chance to do few things, 1 life, and one day it will be time but live till the end and dont make the end.
Suicide is probably the worst ways to die! DO NOT COMIT SUICIDE [ babymoby's advice column | Ask babymoby A Question ]
