Suicide

[jewpinthethird]

Do you cut yourself because you enjoy the pain it brings, thus proving your existence? Just wondering.

Yes, cutting can lead to death...assuming you know where to cut and how much you cut (or how much blood you loss). Most cutters dont cut deep enough to puncture anything important, and the cuts usually arent big enough to threaten one's life.

Dont get me wrong, I dont support the idea, it just isnt as dangerous as it appears. However, ddristhecoolest, I do suggest you get some help with the whole cutting thing.

Just a note, you guys...cutting actually releases pleasure causing endorphins in the brain as well as adrenaline. It's not only a psychological reason people cut, because in a world full of sadness, that's the one time they can feel good. It's possible to become addicted to cutting.

The same reason people enjoy extremely spicy foods...I was watching a documentary on it. If you have ever eaten something extremely spicy and felt your head become light afterwards, thats the endorphins working their magic.

Hm...coincedently, the song I happen to be listening to right now is titled "Suicide (or Better Way)" by Choking Victim.

i think it should be legal at to a certain degree and the suicide should be a controled thing not like some kid jumping of the bay bridge (some one i know knew a person that did that) because that causes to much pain and stress

Okay, after 7 pages of reading and making an effort to understand your points of this thread. Suicide is ones belief to end all their earthly troubles. But most people who think about commiting suicide do not becuase of their fear of death. Well, actually if your so depressed and have such a bad life, then you don't fear death. But, sorry if i sound like a ******* but you can't really understand ones problems or mental illnesses unless you yourself have ecountered them. Take me for example. I believe I have OCD ( Obsessive Compulisive Disorder ) I think only I have it and only I go through with it. But on a wbsite it listed thousands and thousands of people who had it. Or still have it. Famous famous people had it to. Back in the day if you talked about what you felt like or had, people would think your crazy. But today there are many many many many ways to attempt to fix those problems. None of them can guarrentee you of certainty that they will be gone (i'm speaking of mental illnesses). Therapy can try to help get rid of it. So can medication. but none are guranteed. If you think suicidal people are selfish abrupt minded people than obviously your life is good enough to where you do not understand them or those things. I for one believe that you can definintly stop your self from commiting suicide. I have seriously thought of it, attempted it, but I never cut myself or anything physical like that. But I've been close to doing something like it.I'm saying that mental illnesses are extreemly hard to understand. Unless you are diagnosed with one. Then some or most people who commit suicide commit it becuase of mental or physical illnesses ( and I'm talking about fatal deseases. Not your common everyday cold or the sniffles ) . Then some people commit suicide becuase of their bad life. Just to point out the obvious. But if you want to commit suicide becuase you feel or know you have a bad life you can stop yourself very easily. Act positive to get a positive response from people. If you act mad at people for being mad at you. Then goodluck, becuase your life will just suck more and more and more and more. This post is far to long already so I can't go on any further. But if your interested in this topic and are interested in my post, then feel free to talk to me on my AIM screen name which is DJ2570 . 8)

Re: Suicide

What do you think? Should it be illegal? Why do people do it?

how should it be illegal, if you die how are you gonna be prosecuted??
i dunno if somebody said that already.....

RE: Re: Suicide

The only point to suicide being illegal is so that the life insurance companies don't have to dole out the cash on them when they take their own lives *To SUPPOSEDLY stop fraud*

RE: Re: Suicide

its illegal because of putting ppls lives indanger..
Shooting yourself=pulling out a weapon
Cutting yourself=pulling out a weapon
jumping off something=trespassing
Overdosing=DRUGS
Hanging=rope can be considered a weapon
drowning=trespassing
Blunt force to skull=pulling out a weapon..
see a pattern here?

RE: Re: Suicide

I dont really understand depression. All the kids I know who are depressed/suicidal don't even seem like they care. They blame everybody else for their problems. Well if you aren't trying to help yourself to make yourself better and happy, then how can you blame anybody but yourself? Parents beating you? Call the fucking cops. Girlfriend broke up with you? find a new one.....if you have a disorder, there's always plenty of medical ways to help yourself out. Suicide does nothing but makes your family sad, your friends sad, and whoa youre dead. go figure.

RE: Re: Suicide

Perhaps if everyone like imwithstupid here could experience severe depression for maybe a day or 2 they could understand more about why we do the things we do like cut, attempt suicide. All of that.

ugh i dont even know what im talking about.

RE: Re: Suicide

I used to be suicidal. Remember the few months I didn't go to FFR? Yeah. Try looking at the world from a different viewpoint and you'll see how much it makes a difference. Get someone's opinion of how life is, how interesting it is, and exciting, and try it out, then you will change...at least I did.
---
Turns out the reason I was suicidal is not because others were making me feel bad. It was simply because I was putting so much pressure on myself that it seemed like everyone and everything was against me.

People can try to suicide because of meny thing, or for things. I remember in the biggining of the year my friend started to cut in the girls bathroom because she got regected by some boy in our school. Just when you think it can't any worse... it does. She suddenly started to think everyone hated her. She thought that she had no life, or friends. She wanted to get more attention, and i bet she thought suiciding would be the answer to all the problems. My friend Anna calls me one day and started to panic on the phone "SHE IS GOING TO JUMP SHE IS GOING TO JUMP" until i could calm her down.. 5 min. past. So i finally found out that the girl who wanted to suicide in the "near" future, is now, almost commiting suicide.


How did we stop her from jumping the Teen Center's roof?
I don't remember.
All i know, is that she turned emo.

She had been to the hospital for many times now, for trying to jump at cars while driving...

Now, I can see someone with a mental illness commiting suicide and like I wouldnt hold that aganist them but someone that is perfectly normal not even thinking what others have to go though...and how their life can change make that decision and it changes everything. I just dont know what to think about it.

[DDR_9-footer]

[DDRAngel]
