Just answering the 4 year old question. Noticed a guest reading it, and I had an opinion on the subject. |

For the sake of refreshment, I'll say that the answer depends. If someone is clinically depressed, then they may not be in their right mind, and suicide should be prevented. Hell, even if someone is regular depressed, you should try to stop that person. However, if we're talking about an old person in a hospital bed who is slowly dying, and whose entire existing is just lying in that hospital bed, and he wants to die, then why in the world should you not let him? Seems cruel to force him to live, in my opinion. |

After dealing with depression for years, anyone who says suicidal people are cowards clearly haven't gone through anything remotely similar. Here's a hint: it's pretty fucking real in your head. Sometimes illusions can seem real. |

welcome to the cauldron of hate
|
Suicidal people are suffering either from brain-chemical problems or gigantic amounts of physical and/or mental pain. Sometimes both. And if they go through with it, they lose literally everything. Themselves, their possible futures, everything. Compared to that, the pain felt by the people left behind is less than nothing. I'll sympathize with them, sure, but no one deserves more sympathy than the one tormented enough to defy the overpowering instinct to stay alive. Although, I guess the dead aren't affected by what we think, so who cares lol |

I really hate the "selfish" argument. 1. No, duh. It's their own lives. They're focusing on themselves, not you. Speaking of which: 2. You're trying to get them to go against their wishes, to...what, exactly? Not make you sad? Are you sure that YOU aren't being selfish? |

Since it's mostly directed at people when they don't know the person, it's probably more likely that they're just trying to be self-righteous. |

Kachou on!

This. I'm often not in my right mind when I consider suicide. I've been so depressed that my head physically hurts. The stigma against mental illness is ignorant and needs to stop.

When I say selfish I mostly mean parents that kill themselves and leave behind young kids, that's selfish IMO. |
