You are so right, suicide may seem selfish (I was of that opinion once), but it is EQUALLY selfish for loved ones to insist one with no future continue to live in misery because it makes THEM (the "loved ones") feel better.
Some of us are intelligent enough and thoughtful enough to realize that the situation we are in has no future and that there is nothing at all that can be done about it. I find it disgusting and terribly unjust that we have no option to get medication for a humane and painless death (like we give animals) when there is no possibility for any improvement in our situation.
I am a (50 year old) "useless eater" in a situation that will not change. I have no marketable skills, my husband can't work (long story there) and we're in deep shit financially. What purpose is there for continuing? I don't have any hobbies that bring me joy. I've never known joy, I have few pleasant emotions, been that way my entire life. Even if I did have a hobby that brought me joy, could I afford to do it? LOL
Thanks for your thoughtful and fair comment!

Drewb13 answered Sunday July 8 2012, 11:31 pm: I know I'm too young, but if your unhappy in your marriage then leave it. If you have tried to work things out mentally, physically, financially, etc. and you're still feeling suicidal, then get out of you're marriage. Don't keep doing something that you know is hurting you. And yes suicide is selfish. IT'S SELFISH TO YOURSELF! You deserve to live a full and happy life. Why end it short. You could live to be 100. I'm not joking. Your life is clearly not over if you want to end it. Go out and meet new people. DO SOMETHING. But don't sit around contemplating suicide and being miserable. If your unhappy, do something about it.
I hope this helps.
