Discussion Have you ever known anyone who committed suicide?

My stepbrother slit his own throat in a public park a few years ago. He was a schizophrenic.
I felt sad for his mother and my father. Not for him -his sufferings were over.
And envious, as always when I hear of someone dying or killing themselves.
Not that it can have been easy or peaceful, going that way.

Wow. I've read about people doing that before. That takes balls. But it's probably better than slitting your wrists which is painful and usually won't work.

Yes, in some twisted way I found it heroic. Although it's probably the fucked-upness in his head that made it possible rather than physical bravery.
It was first reported in the local press as murder. Must mean it's not common.

Yeah thats the thing when i read nippers saying how life is shit, work is crap or for idiots, they have no idea how what seems so improbable now or just too much like hard work doesn't mean life will never change for the better.

Ok so i am now divorced but that doesn't mean i regret a minute of it, if i had died when my friends did then i would have missed out on some of the great things my life has produced & the fun i had along the way. I may have never left my friends in the sense that depression has been a constant, but for every year & every moment good & bad that i have lived i have done so in the knowledge that they didn't get that chance.

I've been waiting 18 years for life to change for the better ... Lol .... Yeah I can keep on doing my part and hope things actually change

One of my uncles committed suicide some months ago. He was affected by a very delicate operation involving brain aneurysm that was not quite successful and left him sequels affecting severely his mobility, drastically worsening his quality of life. He finally decided to put an end by himself to his torment and passed away.

May you rest in peace and love, my beloved uncle. You have been brave until the last instant of your life and now you deserve being away of any trace of existential suffering.

How did your uncle passed away?
N or jumping?

It seems that it was due to an overdose of sleeping pills. He also tried a similar method some years ago, but failed by that time.

The one certainty in life is that for better or worse it will change. That at least has held true for myself & everyone I know.
