Do you think there is a right time to die? Whether you are ill have battled lifelong mental health that hasn't got better despite receiving treatment, taking meds etc. Do you think we should be able to freely leave and not feel guilty about it?
I understand leaving family hurt but surely after a few weeks and with life going on, they would be ok.
Why is suicide selfish? Why isn't staying for other peoples happiness, selfish of people to ask of you? To expect of you?
What is the point if nothing makes you happy? And no matter what you do or try it just turns to crap anyway.
I guess the past 7 months have been hard...

An old friend of mine recently suicide. She had an 8yo and 10yo.
I know she was in so much pain, but when your in that mindset you reality is already warped.
For example, no people will not be ok in a few weeks. They will carry it for a lifetime.
People are not better of with out you.
It doesn’t make the pain go away it transfers it. That’s why people veiw it as selfish.
You don’t have to live with it but there is ways out and your thought patterns are skewed right now and you shouldn’t trust them.
There is a lot of help. But what works for one won’t for another so keep fighting till you find it.
My husband attempted suicide when we had a 2yo and I was pregnant.
He’s been in pain for 10 years.
But I tell you what 4 year on from his attempt he’s never been so well. Sure he has hard days, but they are just that days, he doesn’t sink into it for weeks on end now with only burst of happiness.
He will probably have to fight for the rest of his life to stay well. But he’s here, he’s doing it and he has the privilege to watch our beautiful kids grow.

Thank u for commenting on the persons wellbeing. Instead of focussing on the repercussions of everyone else. Mental health mainly depression s horrible and not something you can easily fix. You can be cruizing for many years then bam straight back at square one again. It isn't something I would wish on my enemy. To have joy and everything ripped from you, to lose interest in family, friends everything its horrible.

It isn’t easily fixed but it can managed. I haveBeen diagnosed with clinical depression as have other family members. I know how awful it is. But once you have it under control, know what works form you and know your early signs and your triggers you can live a full and happy life. It is not worth killing yourself over. Not when it can be overcome.

They'll be fine after a couple of weeks??!! No I know someone who committed suicide 25 years ago and it has permanently affected all the people in their life. It has repercussions every single day for certain people and ultimately I fear the pattern will continue eventually. Also I was close to someone else who died i'm not willing to share how and i think about it every day and it's been 20 years. It never goes away, if you really loved that person. Grief is with you forever. It comes in waves. Some days are better than others but it never never leaves you.

It isn’t selfish, not really but it does is hand the pain onto someone else. Particularly if the person who suicided was not terminally ill.
Yes, the last 7 months might have been hard but that does not mean they are going to stay that way. However, once you are dead there is no taking It back.
