@Rickoshay75,

Seek help. Try to understand where the problem stems from. If it's caused by depression resulting from a chemical imbalance, there are drugs that can help. If it's a recent trauma...seek out a support group. The main thing is not alienating yourself. People can go through horribly trying times and they pass. If it's a terminal illness and you're terrified of dying without dignity, there's also help there....what are you experiencing?

It's not about me, it's about logical suicide

@Rickoshay75,

What do you consider logical? It depends. Sometimes people who cannot find the help they need consider this a logical solution. What are you feeling/thinking?

@Germlat,

Suicide becomes a solution when you have no hope left. There's ALWAYS hope.

Is there? I disagree. I think in terminal cases it's a matter of choice and dignity.

Not according to actual suicides..

Dear World, I am leaving you because I am bored. I feel I have lived long enough. I am leaving you with your worries in this sweet cesspool - good luck.

I feel certain that I'm going mad again. I feel we can't go thru another of those terrible times. And I shan't recover this time. I begin to hear voices

I must end it. There's no hope left. I'll be at peace. No one had anything to do with this. My decision totally.

I don't pretend to understand the devastation / hopelessness behind every suicide. All I'm saying is in many cases people didn't get the support or help needed to get over a terribly difficult time. Not the case of behind a terminal illness...I understand the desire to not endure the inevitable....

From the perspective of a family-orientated well mind, suicide will never be logical, it is merely "an undesirable only alternative" from not being able to find a cure. No one in their right or well mind can ever wish for suicide, we all wish to be well and happy, therefore suicide is definitely not logical. But it is understandable (but not desirable) when someone is overwhelmingly unwell and suicidal because a cure cannot be found. As a Christian, I think logic can only apply to finding a cure, God bless to all you people who are in such a horrible predicament...

Suicide makes sense if you find the life you can reasonably expect to live less valuable than not living at all. But that's not about logic. It's about values and empirical prediction.
