honestly though
i have seen a few times in my life the repercussions of suicide and it's not pretty.i've known 2 people in my life whose fathers killed themselves.
one of my cousins killed herself when i was very young.
a friend of mine was dating a guy in college who took a shotgun to himself in his bathroom (imagine having to find that)
just in the past few weeks a friend of a friend tried to off themselves and was taken to the hospital. luckily he is still here.
i would estimate that any normal person has had suicidal thoughts at some point in their lives. life is very hard and often times we can't cope - lose control - or have a break down. i scared myself pretty bad while in college once. i couldn't stop thinking about it one night. all i could do was repeat over and over to myself "do not get out of bed. do not go get a knife." i finally did get up, and i was on the verge of tears, and i called a friend and spent the night at their place. i think suicide is selfish and it makes me extraordinarily angry, but some of these people don't know how to get help, most often it is a problem with being depressed, which people who don't suffer from do NOT understand. being depressed is very serious and very hard to deal with; your brain does not work right.
sadly, many medications that people take for depression often do more harm than good.
