Discussion 'Most people who try to commit suicide are angry'... Do you agree?

[Shivali]

No. I am only sick and tired of life.

 

[want2dienow]

I'm not angry, I'm in pain.
Know the difference.

 

[Fadeawaaaay]

I've never really felt anger in my entire life… Ive usually translated that emotion Into self blame and then depression… Real anger would have been much healthier… Reading other peoples threads I do sense Some anger which I frankly admire…

 

[blue_muse]

While it's true that emotions like sadness, resentment and frustration can manifest into anger; each suicidal person's emotions are unique.

 

[Gustav Hartmann]

For me personal it´s just the opposite, when I am angry am in a fighting mode. Suicide means for me that I have surrendered.

 

[Callie Arcale]

I feel zero anger. I don't blame anyone for anything. Life is random and meaningless.

All I feel is alone. Ignorant. Small. Inconsequential. Unable to even begin to understand this mysterious universe and this brutal planet we live on.

 

[☆AwaitingEntropy☆]

I'd say I'm frustrated, but to distill such a complex decision into one emotion doesn't make much sense to me. Everyone has their reasons, and feelings.

 

[Sprite_Geist]

Anger, despair, apathy or even happiness; a suicidal person can experience a wide range of emotions depending on why they wish to die.

For me, personally, any anger that I (may) feel stems from the fact that I am still alive; The thought of suicide actually gives me a sense of relief.

 

[Coffeebean77]

Only angry at myself.

 

[IanUK]

I would guess anger would play a part for many along with every other emotion.
Anger comes into the equation for me because of the disillusionment of having to un-learn all the propoganda dished
out at schools & media during my naieve youth, & seeing the reality of societies calculated onslaught against the environment, making the world increasingly uninhabitable, & the quality of life increasingly unacceptable for most of us. I have differculty in seeing any change from the present
policy of milking the land & sea for all its worth.....

Very well put I think my overwhelming feeling especially in 2022 is total disillusionment with humanity and the direction we are being taken in. It's not somewhere I wish to go - just leave me alone and don't interfere with my life. The future looks to be more and more involvement of government in our lives and that's not for me. I'm checking out at that point - I would love to take a few politicians with me but unlikely to be possible so opioids it is.

 

[Unworthyoflove]

yes, for me anger towards myself was for sure one of the reasons. but thats very individual.

 

[KiraLittleOwl]

Sometimes I experience bouts of anger towards my life... But they are short lived because there's no way I can express it. It's just sits there deep down.

 

[CandyCane]

I think psychiatry doesn't know shit about fuck regarding the human condition. Probably a lot of their patients are angry because they are useless and disappointing them.

 

[Hope:-)]

Now the time is getting nearer, I have become angry that this is what I have to do. It's not something that anyone wants to do.

 

[FireWalkWithMe]

I wouldn't say they're all angry. That's quite a random assertion that is hard to substantiate. There are all kinds of reasons and emotions.

 

[chloramine]

I'm tired. Anger isn't a reason to die for me. I want to ctb because I'm tired and depressed and out of energy and like is too much. I can see how it could be a factor (even the main one) for others, but that's not my experience.

 

[Zegers]

I suppose 'angry' could be part of the list. I think a person who don't contemplate suicide can't understand it accurately and it doesn't matter whether doctor or whatever.

I feel a deep disappointment towards life that has drawn me into apathy and despair, permanent sadness, pain, how life pulls you to suicide while others are bestowed with goods and harmony, a humdrum life, the devious game not being able to change the hand you have been dealt, not having the energy to do anything at all and if you do, you go into a state of anxiety, loneliness and exclusion... All of these symptoms are long-term poison.

 

[suicidalwillreturn]

Im not sure, maybe they're thinking that anger gives you that final push to ctb.

Hmm, it's much easier to take out some policeman scum than politicians... It'll be fun.

 

[y'ffre]

No, I was sad, happy, scared, and hopeful when I was preparing myself to do it.
But I wasn't angry not even %1.

 

[Fadeawaaaay]

I guess I'm angry at myself for being ignorant and stupid and miss guided dating all the way back to high school … i'm angry that nobody told me how the world actually works… If I had known I would have done things differently… But I was a kid… How was I supposed to know? I thought that things just work out if you check certain boxes and hit certain marks… I did not realize that there is an abyss waiting for those who stray … I'm angry that I was either born depressive or made so… I am angry that I've Harbored so much anxiety and fear… I'm angry that I've been crippled my whole life afraid to take on necessary challenges… I'm angry that I threw my life away…

 

[James777]

Recently watched a documentary on suicides from the Golden Gate bridge (called 'Death Leap'- on YouTube). A psychiatrist in it said 'it's hard to say whether they're more defiant, more angry or not because I think most people who try to commit suicide are angry.'

It got me thinking. I wouldn't consider myself a particularly angry person. I'm fairly placid in behaviour at least. Still, I wonder if the part of me that wants to end it all is angry. Angry just to have this life that I'm expected to keep going at and fulfill all the shitty expectations society places on us. I was curious to see how other people felt? I guess most of us feel depressed on some level but how many of you think the desire to end it all comes from anger?

This may be a weird point to make but my physics teacher always told me that anger is a secondary emotion, the only reason you are angry is because you are initially afraid. Wether it be suicide or angry that your freind ate your sandwich.

The realest thing I've heard this whole time.
Can I pin this

 

[Fadeawaaaay]

I've never expressed outright anger… It gets turned into depression… Learned helplessness

 

[nys]

Some people are angry, but some aren't. It's different for everyone. I know that in my experience, I was angrier when I was passively suicidal, and as I shifted into being more actively suicidal, I lost the energy to be angry and I was just feeling hopeless and depressed.

 

[FrozenMango]

i'm angry, tired, and defeated. I would say suicidal people are sad not angry

 

[LastFlowers]

I am many things, but yes, I am also livid…furious, seething…in anger a part of me lives..in despair I am entirely dead.

 

[Cress]

I'm surprised by the amount of people that Are saying that they are enraged but me personally I feel calm. I've always sort of been that way though. I remember as a young kid I got into meditation early in life and one of the goals that I had was to try to be able to get instantaneously angry whenever I needed it. I had the idea that instantaneous rage would be able to help me in certain situations.

So I set out to try to go out of my way to try to make myself angry and as quickly as possible all the time. Ironically my natural anger started to fade away I started to not feel angry unless I actually wanted to. However as I got older I realized there wasn't really any benefit to being angry in most situations. So I just ended up turning into the friend that no one ever saw the angry.

I feel like certain things should change and there are certain injustices in the world but I don't really feel any anger or rage towards anyone. People are just people they were always going to be the way that they were.

 

[its.all.gone]

I wish I was still angry, which I was a while ago. it was when I was trying to fight for a better life. now I am just defeated and lost.

so no, not angry when eventually became serious about suicide

This. THIIIIIS. Depression is when I run out of defensive anger.
