i read somewhere that suicide is a confession - that you didn't enjoy or understand life
i think suicidal thoughts are a result of not knowing your place in the world, or agonizing over the 'meaning of life', emptiness etc
I also recall this quote which i love. So to finish on a positive note;
'if you're living in hell, keep going'
be strong!
i agree. suicide to me is a confession. a confession that i dont want to be here anymore.
i never agonise over the meaning of life cause i dont believe there is one, and i have suicidal thoughts more often than not.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
That would be my absolute breaking point, as well.
I can't imagine surviving my child. The thought sends me into a complete panic and I can't imagine going on after that. :(
And yet... many do my 2 cousins died in a fire when they were 9 and 11... only kids in the family. My aunt and uncle are still going... they had another son a year or so after... split and had a messy divorce. I don't see much of my uncle but I see a lot of my aunt and am pretty close to her... I dont know how she does it :(

Had I not found this love with you
Nobody can really answer this question, until they're faced with such a situation. I've know some people who I thought were really strong, and when faced with some tough life situations, took the easy way out....and vice versa, I've known some people who I thought were rather weak, and turned out to be stronger than I could have imagined.
You don't know how you'll respond until certain situations are right in front of you.
i'm very serious when i say this, but, if i lost my dick and balls in a tragic boating accident or something and i was not able to watch internet porn and masturbate feely, i would have to let go of this world.
Like mentioned before, I don't think you know that point until you get there.
But, I can't foresee anything that would drive me to take my own life... Maybe it's my optimistic nature, but I always seem to see the glass as half full, and even in the hardest moments of my life so far (granted, nothing terrible), I've always been convinced that things will work out in the end.
ok, suppose you have an accident on the road and end up tied down to the chair, would that make you or break you?
suppose you accidentally catch AIDS, would you still want to live?
suppose there was a well known gang after you...example: Hells Angels, would you still want to live hiding from them all your life?
And as far as this goes, you have to be kidding me... if any of these would drive someone to suicide, they weren't that far from it before.

Are you suggesting that people who end up in a wheelchair are likely to consider suicide, or should?
'Tied down to the chair'? Well if you face that, better make sure they wet the cloth first. Don't want any Green Mile shit going wrong.
'We're learning songs for baby Jesus' birthday. His mum and dad were Merry and Joseph. He had a bed made of clay and the three kings bought him Gold, Frankenstein and Merv as presents.'
Haha, those grizzly hicks still knockin about today? makes me think of the film Raising Arizona.
being totally alone in the world could do it, pull the tarot card "Death" into my thoughts and I'd probably take the Intercity train route out, for the sureity. Do you know what it is to long for what has passed without promise of its return? It'd be that feeling intensified leading up.
With a gun, the suicide act wouldn't be no big deal. All the pre-meditation and stewing could be bypassed and you could just go out on a whim with a click. Stupid eh?
A few thoughts there. Anyway, happy-happy joy-joy......
The death card can mean a good change is coming your way, it doesn't have to mean actual death.
To answer the question, if my little girl passed away I would not be able to go on. In fact the thought makes me a little hysterical.
"If you're looking for someone to pull you out of that ditch, you're out of luck."
I think that the breaking point for me would be degrees...bodily injury may not be enough, there are many people that live rich wonderful lives with a body that is not whole.
However if I was a burden on others because of some fatal illness or disease, I think I would try to release my self before I became a hateful/hated version of my former self. I don't know how bitter I would be if truly tested by a debilitating disease or sickness. I would do it peacefully - not want to create a guilt splash.
l do not have children, nor will I ever - so I can't contemplate the pain of losing a child.
I have lost a soul mate before, and the pain was terrible - but through it all my SELF kept me going...I even incorporated his personality (to a small degree) into my own to create a stronger ME.
but at first I wanted to die. I am glad I didn't do something foolish.
I think if I lost my sense of self...knew that I was different and couldn't swim back to my true identity...I think that might be one of the degrees to which I would contemplate suicide.
this was a very interesting question.
IF YOU WANT A PLATE OF MY BEEF SWELLINGTON, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY THE COVERCHARGE.
ok, i'm kinda curious as to what would be your point where you decide that life is not worth living, where you decide that you have to much on your hands to cope with or for that fact to little.
for everyone who wants to reply i'd like them to list the things that would push them to either not care for themselves and let themselves go or commit suicide.
and yes, that's right genie is back with more twisted and dark thoughts on her mind!
im almost there. i'll let you know what finally pushes me over b4 i paint the walls red.
Peace, Love.

there was that woman who passed away last month that was in an iron lung for 60-something years? maybe something like that would test my resolve to live. otherwise, i got too much to live for, too many people in my life that i love and want to be with....whatever comes along, i'll just deal with it.
difficult question.......but i would like to think to myself that, i am going to milk every last bit of life out of this one. of course, if a machine is keeping me alive, i do not want that.
again, really difficult question. i will not know, until the time comes. it is easy to say what i just said because of my current condition. which is healthy.
live and let live...unless it violates the pearligious doctrine.
I don't think anyone really knows until they are in a situation how much they can take. But I do know, as someone intimately familiar with the effects that suicide has on those left behind, I wouldn't subject my children to those effects.
On a lighter note, it's "y'all" not "ya'll", as it is a contraction of "you" and "all."

leave it to someone from tennesse to correct "ya'll".......do not kid yourself, i know how seriously "ya'll" defend this phrase. my relatives live in the "holler".

anyway IBTL.
Pretty confronting I'll bet. It's a really interesting exercise though.
What did you think of it?
