Welcome to Gaia! ::

There are some rare cases where death is the only humane solution, but odds are that if you're still capable of sending this message yours is not such a case.

Any death has a large effect and spreads to many people. These mingle with positives and negatives, but most are negatives. Even if a deranged homeless man keeled over in the night, it would still have an effect. Random passer-byes would pause and be moved with shock, horror, and pity. A small child discovers the corpse and is scarred for life. Etc.

The existentialists have said that before we can be anything, we must first be.

Death, most importantly of all, is a lot harder to cure than life. A dead person has little ability to way their options and decide to give their former mode of being another try. A living person however can always decide to die later if things don't work out.


More importantly, what makes you say this? What maelstrom of depression and anguish leads you to contemplate such a thing?

i talked to someone. i felt terrible. i caught it before it got too far, and it is because i didn't have my medication. I just wondered what others thought.

When I was a teen I had suicidal thoughts...I couldn't handle stressful situations very well, I was very sensitive and took everything to heart, and having a not so great few years, it just seemed to make things worse. There were days when I thought I would be better off dead...I felt that I didn't contribute anything important, and that my pressence wouldn't matter.

Thank the sweet heavens that I resisted the urge to end my life and hung in there, because I now have a good husband and 2 lovely children.

When you're young, everything seems overwhelming. You feel lonely, that no one understand you or what you're going through. It's hard not to fight the feeling that everyone would be better off without you, but fight it you MUST. I find the song by good charolette talks about suicide in an honest way...:

"Hold On"

This world
This world is cold
But you don't
You don't have to go
You're feeling sad, you're feeling lonely, and no one seems to care
Your mother's gone and your father hits you
This pain you cannot bear

But we all bleed the same way as you do
And we all have the same things to go through

Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know

Your days
You say they're way too long
And your nights
You can't sleep at all
Hold on
And you're not sure what you're waiting for, but you don't want to know more
And you're not sure what you're looking for, but you don't want to know more

But we all bleed the same way as you do
And we all have the same things to go through

Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know
Don't stop looking, you're one step closer
Don't stop searching, it's not over
Hold on

What are you looking for?
What are you waiting for?
Do you know what you're doing to me?
Go ahead...What are you waiting for?

Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know
Don't stop looking, you're one step closer
Don't stop searching, it's not over
Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know
Hold on


You have to realize that your actions affect those around you...I feel sad when I hear that someone has taken their own life, but I feel worse for the family/friends that they left behind.

Death itself is not wrong, but its how you go about it. Look, if you die too young you will miss out so much and not experience many things (Like if you die a virgin you won't know what sex feels like)

But the main thing is that you wil hurt so many people around you........

SO as I said, DEATH is not wrong, but dying at the wrong time is

Oh dear.
Why do you want to die? What is so bad? Is there anything you can do to make living better I'd really like to help you. Or at least talk to you about it, if you'd like. You can PM me if you want, or post here, or even head on over to Paper Flowers, a guild just for this kind of thing.
Hope things start looking up for you.
