    what makes suicide even more difficult is the thought of leaving loved ones in despair. if this isn't a concern it's easier to disappear and start another life - maybe shaking off one's shackles would help if it's freedom that's you seek. otherwise i guess suicide should be accepted as a choice.

    No need to, I can guarantee they don't, if one did it would go belly up in no time flat as loads of people are willing to off themselves in order to enrich those left behind.
    .... and thanks for all the fish.

    To my friends and family I am the happiest normal guy you could meet, people often confide emotionally and philisofically, with ideas for their futures, people want to go into business with me, people generally like me. I can count the amount of people that don't on my hands because of this personality I project.

    If people knew what was churning inside of me they would be shocked.

    It is a pride thing.

    For you maybe. Not for everyone.
    But since you know so well what's your particular roadblock is I think it's a good thing. You can face your monster. If I were you I'd ask my self what was it I was so afraid others would find out about myself and what was the worst that could happen.

    Good hell, what is it about Monday threads?

    I think pride plays a big part in suicide.Not willing to accept a situation or a problem forces people to end their lives.
    The thought of "downgrading" as a result of finacial difficulties to a too much to bear for some people.

    Isn't the idea of living to have happy and fulfilling life? Or at least strive towards it? Yet some ppl are so smothered by their situations and problems that they never get there. Waking up in the morning is a shock to the system for some.

    Therapy and counseling does not always cure or help at all. Every day is an unhappy, unfulfilled struggle to cope and/or survive. Yes, certainly you get ppl who cope, get cured, get problems fixed..but there are those who never will or can't. What are you then living for? What is the point then?
    My Uncle was a child molester. The 2n'd time he would have gone to jail he opted for self termination instead.
    I guess sometimes it is the right thing to do.

    I do believe suicide can be the way to go if it's the last thing possible. GO through everything else, and if nothing works, become an hero.
    It's just like Euthanasia. If you get a death illness you don't just go, ok let me die now, then kill yourself, you fight the disease. But if it gets to the stage where you are stuck in bed and literally can't do anything and have a couple months to live, suicide/Euthanasia is the way to go. Same goes for even if you not sick from a disease. If you are truly suffering and nothing can change that, then you should be able to relieve that pain by killing yourself. Yes your loved ones will be sad, but they weren't going through the pain you were going through, at the end of the day it's your life and not theirs. Plus what if you have no loved ones? Truly then what are you living for? You are in the deepest pit of darkness and you have no loved ones (Friends or family) there is truly nothing left for you.

    At the risk of making this a socially irresponsible thing, I think it's important to correct this. Life insurance DOES pay out in cases of suicide but there are (obviously) conditions. First, you have to have been suffering from an illness for which suicide is a known cause of death related to is (things like depression, bipolar disorder, etc.) Some policy makers also have a time period in which you aren't covered if you commit suicide. With Liberty, for example, you are not covered if you commit suicide within two years of the cover being taken out. I think another criteria is that there has to be evidence that you were on some sort of treatment for the illness - basically to disqualify negligence and show that you took all precautions to avoid this from happening.

    I'm hoping KSINGH is just clowning around (wouldn't be offended if he/ she is) but I just needed to clear out the myth for people with a mental illness that has been known to cause suicide and are considering getting life insurance but are adverse to it based on the believe that "suicide is not covered" and "I am too high risk for any insurer to cover me".

    Having said that, this doesn't mean you must take out a strategy, wait two years and then off yourself.

    Those people in management/ leadership must tread very lightly, they tread on "unfair discrimination" when they do that. It's can be seen in the same light as showing unfair discrimination against someone with HIV BECAUSE they have HIV. Now imagine if that ostracising results in the person's deteriorating mental health and THEN they commit suicide? Yoh! The lawyers would have a FIELD day with that one.

    I think this is a big part of the problem as well, as a lot of people that commit suicide normally see everyone else as happy and can not understand why their lives are so crap.
    THis, plus they don't want to burden others or bring anyone else down by making them worry.

    Of course they will pay out .... as long as your policy is older than 2 years, payout does take place.

    Ryanbighead, maybe I am putting my foot in it, but if you suffer from depression, it can be cured.
    I am not a doctor but I know from experience it can be cured with natural products, not anti-depressants (some make depression worse)
    Ignore this if I am too forward.
