While I find that video..humerous at the beginning. I do think suicide is selfish. Reason being I lost my mother to suicide at the age of 8. Its effects were and are long lasting and have created deeper issues in life. Resentments and many other issues stemming from her decision. Her decision to end life continues to haunt mine still.

It's complicated, but I don't think it's fair to blame someone who commits suicide when they're mentally unhealthy, if not even diseased. It's a tragedy that leaves multiple victims, but I don't see how it does any good to place the blame on the depressed person.
I'm not saying suicide should be encouraged, just that it's a blameless crime. |

Started seeing a therapist for my depression. Realized I should have probably started a lot sooner.
I really have a lot more respect for therapy now that I've been through a few sessions. Now I have to decide if I want to see a psychiatrist... |

I'm going back to a therapist. I really do need someone to talk through my anxiety and stress with. No wonder I have a permanent headch ache at the moment.

I'm going to be INCREDIBLY open here, more open than I usually am. I've attempted suicide four times, and am currently undergoing treatment and medication for depression. Each and every time I attempted my own life (first and third times by hanging myself, second time with an OD and the fourth and final time by trying to throw myself down a stairwell) I felt trapped, like I had no option than to do what I was doing.
With me it was a combination of stress, undignosed depression, events prior to the actual attempts and some other factors, like the first attempt in which I was sure I wouldn't be disturbed by anyone because my family were out shopping. Problem with something like the issue of suicide is that it's HUGELY personal to each person who attempts it, and depression is also equally personal. |
