The only thing I could see maybe pushing me close (but not close enough to actually do it) would be the loss of my son.

But what would stop me is the pain I would create in those I leave behind.

Probably the lack of the reasons that compel you not to.

Utter hopelessness, no ability to see the next move, and the selfishness to be blind to the consequences for those around you.

This is untoward! This is not toward!

When I was younger I was pretty miserable.

My feeling is that people who seemingly have it good are the ones that have suicidal thoughts.

When you have a reason for being unhappy, such as poverty, it makes it easier in some ways. Not easy to get by & pay bills, obviously, but easy on your psyche. You can always think "if only I had some money I would be fine."

But when you have everything you could possibly need & all the possibilities in the world, and yet you still feel miserable, then it makes YOU feel worthless and hopeless. And it's hard to imagine ever being able to change that. That's where thoughts of suicide start to creep in.

I think only if I killed a family member, even accidentally. But I might pull through it. Don't know. I know many times I felt like dying but was always too chicken to even start hatching a plot.

I agree with this actually.

these reasons make me consider it.

Goal setting is a really big part of keeping me out of that mind set so I'd say not having any plans for the future would compel people to complete suicide.

When I was 7 only I had some issues, because of my disability, and told my mom I didn't wanna live anymore. had some talks with psychologists And got hit with depression a few years later, then puberty hit. These days and especially in the past two years I've grown a WHOLE lot. Now I feel super confident, I love life too much to ever give up even though I almost passed on at 18 because of surgery beyond my control, God has Blessed me a whole lot more. I have so much more left to do.

True. I can't imagine what must go thru ones mind at the very end.
Relief I suppose.

In think relief is what we imagine we'd feel (and maybe for someone with unbearable physical pain it would really be relief)

But the saddest thing is that, according to some who have survived a jump off of the Golden Gate Bridge, the first thing they felt when they jumped was regret.

I also know someone who tried to do it with pills, and eventually called for help. I guess having some time to think about it seriously can change your mind.

I think that's why I never got that close to it. I knew I really didn't want to do it. Deep down I knew I could change my life for the better.

I knew of a cop who blew his brains out when I used to work around law enforcement. His wife left him,and he was being harassed by the brass. Also, I believed what contributed to his suicide was that there was word out on suspicion of him taking steroids. Was told he used to beat up the wife. Therefore, controlled substances can be an contributing factor in some suicides.

As for me, I've been through some stuff in my lifetime, but I don't want to see hell when I die. Prayer and learning to cope has saved me.

you are right....it is the most selfish way to go....I don't think about
killing myself, but i do think of me dead...and who would it effect...
death is a subject I think of alot...

Life is the most precious gift we have...so why end it...it is all we know.
The reason why I would do it....the feel of beeing helpless, or dispere.
Pain so imence that to die would be the only solution....

I am a spiritual person, that alone will stop me from dooing any permanent harm....

I don't think I would have the guts to do it anyway.
My brother once found someone who had hung themself in the woods near where we stay and he had my niece who was 4 at the time with him.He knew the guy too.It bothers me that they can't consider who might find them too.
I stay in a small village of around 5000 people and I can recall about 6 suicides. neutral

Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!

but for those who are terminally ill and are going to die anyway, why shouldn't they end their pain sooner rather than let it drag on?

while it's sad what the rest of the family has to deal with (assuming they are not partly to blame for the suicide), I don't view it as a wholly a negative thing. Have to look at from individual to individual. There maybe instances where you just can't blame the person for ending their life. I mean people have no choice in coming into the world but they may have a choice of how and when they exit.

yeah we view ending an animal's life as being humane so that it doesn't suffer anymore, why not humans'? The long lives that we live now do come with a price, and legally, without a choice.
