Very true. A few months ago, a senior at my high school killed himself by jumping off the water tower. In the same month, his mom killed herself because of grief.
It's been almost 10 years since my best friend committed suicide by pills. I still think of him daily and visit him at least once a year. The pain never goes away, just gets easier to live with. He was my world and I will never *not* miss him.
I lost a cousin and an uncle in one year to suicide. The most difficult thing was seeing that my 88 year old grandmother had to deal with the loss of both.
People who kill themselves are utterly selfish. It angers me so much to see the damage suffered by family and friends. Even though there's no love from the family, I'm sure there must be at least one person who cares. Might be the mailman or shopkeeper etc. It really is a sad way to go.
Depends on the way you look at it. Like, if you were struggling so much to the point where all you could think about was ending it, you'd probably kill yourself too. It is selfish to the people who care about you, but you also have to make your own decisions sometimes for your own well-being
See. It still is a selfish decision for the sake of your own 'well-being'. You end your life and that's it. No more worries for you. But to others, they have to bear the grief/guilt/burden left by you. Just months ago a friend of mine hung herself. Now her mom is in shambles, her never-there dad is filled with regret and her best friend is depressed and blaming herself for not stopping the girl in time. She has used the i-will-kill-myself card one too many times so nobody bats an eye. It was damn sad seeing her mom packing her belongings. Suicide is never the answer. People with cancer would do anything to live an extra day or so but then there's the suicidal kind who just can't wait to 'off' their lives when they could do so much more in this world. I won't say 'just go and get help already' because i know it's easier said than done. Just wish that they could see there's more to life than ending it.
I'm dying to know.

Oh f**k. Welp, cya guys.
