This is for a friend, and i need some help answering this question. Why is it that people want to die so much? She isnt suicidal or anything, but its more like a study of human emotions. Why do people not want to live, and just want to run from any problems they have. Why cant they just wait it oiut and die, naturally or by an un-planed accident? Plaese and thank-you for your help, and if you want, give some advice for those who are suicidal.

I suffer from depression, so maybe I'm not the best person to ask... Some people just feel that life really isn't worth anything - they see death as a permanent solution to all their temporary problems. Unfortunately, life isn't temporary; you are as you are, for a reason. Nothing is going to really make a change upon you, unless you let it.
At the time when I had been considering suicide, I was in middle school. It was a place I loathed. My best friend used to live just one street over, but then her mother died, and she wound up moving about an hour's drive away. And she was, quite literally, my only friend. I did not fit in to the school - it was a Catholic one, so I'm quite sure you can imagine. The principal seemed to have a personal vendetta against me, as did one paticular member of the staff. Unfortunately, I was just a moody teenager, so a lot of it got written up as just plain teenage angst. It was a lot more than that, though...some other time, I'll get into a rant about how public education has so failed me... And it was just not an easy time in my life.
A lot of outside influences can have an accumulative effect, piling up on each other, until the weight is unbearable. Parents, work, school, friends...they can all have an unwitting finger on an explosive emotional trigger.
But life is precious. It is something worth living, through its ups and downs. It is meant to be cherished.
"Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today."
Nothing can surpass one's dreams, their hopes, and ambitions. If it is honestly what they want, then nothing can ever come between them and their goal.
Maybe I'll add to this...
But not now.

I used to think about it a lot, but I was miserably unhappy.

I'm too much of a positive thinker to ever go to the point of being suicidal. I could go on how I think suicide is cowardly and pointless but then again my point of view is probably biased considering I've never been in a sucidal person's shoes.

Those who are suicidal see the world differently from those who are not. I was once suicidal and know firsthand. Most see the world as full of posibilities, as well as see life as precious. Whilst onewho is suicidal sees the world as full of pain suffering and failure, full of contsant pressures and uphill battles, and some see suicide as the only escape.
But, you, yami_no_aijin, really should know firsthand what suicidal people are like, seeing as how you often times are one. xp
STOP BEING SUICIDAL AND SEEK OUT ANSWERS TO YOUR ISSUES! scream

Neither of you two should commit suicide. Then I would be the only serious mod left, and the guild would implode.
'sides, isn't this a lesson we've ( more or less ) learned from Greg Wilson? That suicide is usually a pretty bad idea?

I always guilted myself out of it...If I didn't deserve to live, I certainly didn't deserve all the fuss and hassle that my loved ones would have to go through cleaning me up and putting on the funeral. That's a lot of wasted money...very selfish.

Malkut I always guilted myself out of it...If I didn't deserve to live, I certainly didn't deserve all the fuss and hassle that my loved ones would have to go through cleaning me up and putting on the funeral. That's a lot of wasted money...very selfish. i will not fight the fact that i have been suicidal, and still can be sometimes. i will also say that when it comes down to it, i usually dont do it for two reasons. one being that i couldnt stand knowing that my parents would find me and have to go through the whole funeral thing, not to mention all my friends being sad, and dreamerspiritt and smeag would probibly follow me. cry that would never let my spirit r.i.p. secondly, its a reason that i have just come to use lately. im in love, and i couldnt, wouldnt, and shouldnt ever try and hurt my b/f like that. its selfish, cruel and disgusting. no matter how bad the situation gets, always look to the bright side. ironic, this comming from the sznitzer.

OtakuEmpress Neither of you two should commit suicide. Then I would be the only serious mod left, and the guild would implode. 'sides, isn't this a lesson we've ( more or less ) learned from Greg Wilson? That suicide is usually a pretty bad idea? there are just certain things that will happen over and over again till the end of time, and certain mistakes fall into that catagory, like suicide, and bad choices. these tho, cant even be called mistakes. in the example of greg, yes, he died, and yes, he created pain and confusion for his girlfriend, his family, and friends. Had he NOT died tho, he would be in his early forties right now, probibly alive. Yes, he may have been alive, but that dosent mean he was happy. Now that he is alive with me, i can try and give his happiness a chance. The mere fact that he died gave my life a chance. If I work at a goal in life with him with me, and all my past lives too, then maybe this one might be good enough to remember lives and lives from now, since every life has something to teach. I can learn from his act, not to kill myself when the going gets bad, but as most of us know, there are just somethings you cant change. There is the natural flow that we must all live by, and can do nothing to change. Its what i liek to call, the Eternal Chain.

I guess we think about it because we feel that it's the only way to end the pain. neutral
sweatdrop I've had to be in the hospital for such things four times...but I'm doing better now. I mean I still think about it, but I would never do it.

I thought of killing myself when I was a teen, in one of those moments that you are angry with everyone and everything. Fortunately those times went by, it has been years since I last thought that, and I am very glad of it.
Much love, everyone! heart

yeah.... some times i do.... think about the s word.....(dont say it...... god kills kittens or saying it).....(hes evil) but yeah.... i think all ppl do......when the kids get mad at there parents and yell "i wish i would just die!!" well..... yeah... lets just all sit and think for a second..... what would that be like...... but how can you really want yourself dead..... when you think about all the ppl that care about you.....how would they feel...... you really must be misanthropic if you want to kill your self....
that might start chain suicides..... and others would make others and they would make others....... xp so just imagine that......and yes we all get a kick out of telling other ppl that we are highly suicidal... but you really dont want to..... admit it.... stare yeah.... so just think about it...... you think about it when you put the knife to your neck to calm yourself from the slightly depressing world.... i do it all the time.... but i had a friend do it..... so i went down the river (if you know what that means) one good time hoping that i would......but something saved me(skip the god speach) so i try not to do it that often but i do cross the street often( if u ditto the other thing) so.......... speaches are gay...... jesus.... i hate typing.... xp yeah im stoping now
