Is suicide ever logical?

asked by aiwendel on 7 January 2008 3:34


For me suicide is the only logical thing to do, if I only had the guts. The reason I don't tell people about my problems is because everyone thinks they can help me, but they cant, and the only help they give is very illogical in my opinion. Its usually something like; you should live because think about the people you hurt by doing it. Illogical because when I'm dead I don't give a shit about anyone I hurt when I was alive, how does any of that matter when my mind is completely eliminated? The only person who will be hurt for more than one day is my mom, and even though I love her I think she deserves it for not having an abortion when she should, a single parent with no education and no money, she might aswell have bought me a gun.

Then theres mental illness, people would just want to put me on zombie medication that makes me indifferent enough about life to not kill myself.. Why the hell would I want that? In my well thought out opinion suicide is not always a mental illness, some people have so many problems that if they were NOT suicidal it would be pretty weird and probably a mental illness. Like if a paralyzed person in constant pain enjoyed life very much, there is something wrong with him.

Then its the "cry for help" theory, another reason I don't tell anyone because they think I actually want to live, that my urge for suicide is just a cry for help.

The only help I want is getting over the fear of killing myself, thats it.

I've recently felt that way myself. I still think the world stinks, but if you kill yourself that means that "they" have won. Do you really want that? It's okay to ask for help. I suggest calling your local crisis center. They can connect you to the resources to help you get your life back on track.

Suicide is not Lodgical. I have tried it two times, and it only made my life worse. The seconed time wich was really major, when I was in a Coma, Life Support, and Kidney Dialisis. It took me five years to get back on my feet. I strugle everyday, but it is worth it, as I get a little more hope each day. Anyone who is or may think about this, please write me and talk to me, as I don't want to see anyone go through what I went through.

Not logical, no. I know how bad it can get, trust me. Every day is a struggle to stay alive, but I know how much my baby sister would blame herself if I died. I can't put that on her shoulders.

Anti-depressants are not zombie medicine. You get all the negative side effects in the very beginning but after about 4 weeks it is completley regulated and you feel like you did before you were even depressed. Honestly it does suck ALOT when you first start taking them. YOu get extremely happy then extremley tired in a matter of seconds. I have been on them for only 2 months and my MD said I am no longer depressed. But she still wants me to take them for 6 more months to prevent relapse. The worst thing i would say about them right now is that I cant drink. :(.
