Suicide

[KCourtnee]

I'm just really curious if anyone else here has dealt with losing someone to suicide. I lost my 17 year old niece on Oct 11, 2015 to it and it still feels unreal. At what point does it sink in? What were your thoughts on it?

I know this is a serious topic but I just want to know if my feels toward it relate to others'.

I have never know anyone that committed suicide but I think if someone wants to kill themselves, they should do it. It's their life. Only they can decide how to live (or not live) it.

I don't want to fight you on a personal opinion of yours or anything, but depressed people don't think straight so this mentality encourages unstable people to make serious life or death choices, which I hope you understand can be potentially wrong

I am sincerely sorry for your loss, my condolences go out to your, your family, and friends.

My grandpa when I was 4. I didn't know him well but my Mother is still angry at him more than 20 years later. I'm sorry for your loss.

I get that your whole "thing" is to be ridiculously blunt but that's just ****ed up.


Also I'm sorry for your loss OP.

Speaking as someone who has battled with major depressive disorder for 6 years, I can say that I'm glad I never gave in to my suicidal urges. The reason I had them was because my own mind was so toxic (you're not good enough, you only bring people pain, you know you'll never be happy, keep taking pills and see if you'll feel better) and I wasn't strong enough to fight back. I had people who loved me, but I didn't feel worthy of love. I can't even imagine what would've happened to my mom had any of my attempts actually worked. Not to mention, I wouldn't be married to my high school sweetheart and feeling so much better trying to advocate for others who are suffering mentally. It's not so simple as they are just being weak. Think of it more as someone trying to hold a car over their head. Sometimes people come up and help you hold it up, while others keep throwing stuff on top to make it even heavier. I would never wish suicide on anyone or the families of those who go through with it.

To answer the OP's post, I don't know anyone who has succeeded. But today is my friend's 21st birthday. She died from doing cocaine that was actually something else. The dealer tried to be cheap and it killed her. It feels like suicide cause you never expect someone you know to die when they're 19.. I'm so sorry for your loss

I had an uncle that I never met suicide by jumping off a building. It was until my mom told me a lot later that I had an uncle but died when I wasn't born yet. I hope your doing okay cx

Guys you can stop responding to Mariah. At what point have you ever seen her respond to anything with empathy? Just ignore it and move on.

I don't think I know anyone who has committed suicide. I'm sorry for your loss of your niece, I'll keep your family in my thoughts.

When Robin Williams killed himself I was very upset for a week. I couldn't even bare to watch any videos about his passing. He was my childhood hero and now I will never see him in any more movies or TV shows...

I haven't lost anyone I've known personally to suicide, but I'm sorry for your loss.

I met lots of people my age with a difficult upbringing who tried but failed. Suicidal people can't think straight. It's not a choice, it's an impulse.

It crossed my mind too, but not in a way that I'd consider it.

 

[Locket]

I'm really sorry

My cousin tried to commit suicide a little over a week ago.

Death is not something my brain understands, it thinks that they are still there, yet I just don't see them. I just can't grasp the concept of someone truly being gone.

I mean, I could honestly never think of ending my life, not even dying. Death is something I fear, and who knows what happens after that.

I'm really sorry for your loss I don't think I've had any of my friends or family members committing suicide, but I sure have heard of people who cut themselves...when two of my friends said that they had cut themselves before, I was pretty shocked and a bit scared...I don't think they're still cutting now, hopefully not...

I hope you Dont lose anyone to suicide. I guarantee you would not have those same thoughts.

let me die, nobody wants me here. let me to rot and die. i am worthless.

In response to Mariah's comment (I know Zephyr said to stop responding, but I'd like to say my piece), no one really wants to die. If people really wanted to die, they'd just commit suicide at a very young age and not wait for adolescence or adulthood and s*** to happen to become depressed. Many people who have mental illnesses think irrational things and don't make good decisions. As someone who has had on-and-off suicidal thoughts, I'd think about killing myself one day and then wake up the next day and feel better. Obviously, if I had acted on those thoughts one of those days, it wouldn't matter how I'd feel the next day. So people should try to help a suicidal person by trying to help fix the problems which are causing those thoughts instead of trying to "help" by being a bystander or in some rare cases even aiding in the suicide.

My grandfather committed suicide when I was 8. I didn't find out about what actually happened until I was 16 and my parents got drunk and argued with my sister. Unfortunately, that's how I found out.

It takes a while to let it all sink in honestly. It took me almost 4 years to forgive my grandfather for what he did. I had to go about all the sides of the story. My grandfather was not able to care for his wife, only himself. She had to go to a nursing home. She ended up dying in the home due to choking on food. He was stuck in the house that they bought together and lived together in for 40 years. He slept in the room that they had slept in for 40 years. He had all those memories to haunt him while he was alone. It has to be emotionally draining. He wasn't the same man he was when my grandmother was alive. It must have been absolute torture for him.

At the same time, he still had the rest of his family. His son, his daughter in law, his grandchildren. We visited every weekend. The mental state he left my dad in was horrible. He still has nightmares about finding his dad dead to suicide.

It's really all a time thing. You have to find your own way to cope with what happened and eventually deal with the reality and move on. It's depressing, emotionally draining and difficult. I wish you the best of luck.

There was a younger kid who used to hang out with the kids I babysat, he'd come over all the time and was really cool, he was like a totally "surfer dude" boiled down into a younger kid and he was always so happy, well on Thanksgiving he hung himself in a fort in his backyard while his family was making dinner, his sister went to get him and he was already gone... we went to the funeral and it was really sad and horrible. It's ruined Thanksgiving for me for life because I always just think of how happy he was and how you really can't tell how someone is feeling and hurting inside, we did a memorial art piece for him during a chalk art festival the same year and yeah... it was just really heart breaking.
