I hate my life

2) have you never felt so alone and so desperate that you have reached out in inappropriate ways? I'm not saying its right or that I support it, but it's a common human problem that at times of suffering, any attention will do. Negative or otherwise. I would seriously doubt anyone who said they have never looked for attention in the wrong ways.

You have no idea how many times I've gone self destructive :p
 
Thread is TL;DR much

My opinion: Suicide is a finality - you cannot change your mind later.
Life has a way of always getting better eventually - just wade throught the fecal matter.

So don't kill yourself op.
 
Here you go op.

It baffles me that people still treat depression as a matter of choice. Depression is a mental ILLNESS. Suicidal thoughts and desires are as much a medical symptom as a tumour in cancer sufferers.

Whether the depression is chemical or situational, the fact remains: clinical depression is an illness and needs to be treated with as much respect and attention as any physical ailment.

If a terminally ill person came in here and said the pain was too much to handle and they wanted their life to end, there would be a helluva lot more understanding and patience. Why is mental/emotional/psychological pain viewed as so inferior or unworthy of that recognition?

I personally do not support suicide but simply because I maintain that no hole is too deep to dig yourself out of if you have even the smallest life anchor to hold on to (in this case OP has his/her child). Once you gather some momentum, your happiness snowballs and before you know it, you're a functional, non suicidal person again.

let me get something straight here. someone suffering from depression is different from someone who is going through a moments problem. when someone knows they have depression they go get it sorted, but if you are going through a few days, weeks or so of difficult times and want to kill yourself for it, then i have no sympathy whatsoever for you. there are many people in this world who are going through life's problems and difficulties each day and probably don't know how to get out of it. but they take each day as it comes.

someone suffering from depression and commits suicide is one thing, someone going through a few little uphills in life and decides they can't cope and wants to end their life doesn't get my respect.

No I think this person shared a summary of his life - not feeling bad for a few days.

I perfectly agree with you on this one Celine, it may just have been wiser to ascertain which one of the two the poster is actually going through before simply accepting that he is wining about a little this little that and accusing him of being a useless person which should feel bad just because from where you're sitting, his problems doesn't compare favorably to other people's.

From a lot of other posts, it is very clear that a general consensus is that when you are at a stage in your life where you have thoughts of suicide you are selfish, childish, irresponsible, whining, attention seeking or whatever else. It is CLEAR that anyone with that view point have NEVER been in that place, and they probably think that when they had a couple of kak weeks and made it through they are champs and that is about all there is too it. I would rather take the same energy people invest in insulting someone which is at a very dark, undesirable place in their life, and use it to thank your lucky stars (or whatever else you believe in) that you have not had that experience in your life to enable you to comprehend what someone goes through in that position, I can assure you no one wakes up and think "too many good things happening today in my life, time for a change, let's try suicide".

I do not dispute the fact that posting on a forum "anonymously" is NOT the best method to handle this situation or if the OP is trolling, then good luck to him, but consider that there may be someone that needs help and don't necessarily know or is able to think clearly enough on where to turn.
