if they dug tunnels instead of building bridges would that cut the suicide rate?

Hmm I expected this to be people who survived and then won the lottery or something along those lines this was more a list of people who survived jumping off a bridge…

I spent 10 years knowing I would have to kill myself eventually unless some miracle medication got ride of my symptoms. It actually did happen, except it then took another 10 years to overcome the effects of 10 years of schizophrenia. I am still a little unusual because it changed my way thinking thats now different than other people. Such as I am kinda 0f a mix from no collar, blue collar and white collar or I don’t care about useless social games like social hierarchies including at work. If anyone can relate it would be nice to know other people who feel like an outsider even though there doing well partly because they over came years of suicidal thinking.

That’s ridiculous…I have the right to do whatever I want with my body and my life, it’s called free will and no man made law can take that away…u honestly think that just because it’s illegal to commit suicide we somehow don’t have a right or free will to make our own decision as to whether we want to end our lives or not? That’s retarded…we have the right to do whatever we want, law or no law, the law doesn’t change our right to choose…Im just blown away by this statement…and I’m not pro suicide I just think to each his own…who am I to judge another, until you’ve been in their shoes you really can’t say one way or another…

I used to feel the same way, but after some recent events in my life I dont know anymore…I kinda think it’s selfish of the suicidal persons loved ones to try to force someone to stay alive who is suffering… Then it becomes the suicidal person is only staying alive for others and not for themselves…I guess there are different situations and many different facets to every suicide attempt, I’m just speaking from my own personal experience with loved ones who have attempted suicide and survived only to resent the person who saved them and then the suicide survivor ends up staying alive for everyone else but themselves and are miserable…to me that makes the people guilt-tripping and forcing said suicide survivor to stay alive a bit selfish themselves…

Or to attempt suicide because of an ailment or illness or severe chronic pain and survive it only to end up worse off than you were before, like with those who hang themselves and get found and resuscitated in time to survive said hanging but in turn suffer severe brain damage from the lack of oxygen to the Brain for so long…makes me sad to think about…

The ones who TRULY wanted to die and weren’t simply in some crazy mood. There ARE those, you know.

are you an idiot? living and dying for yourself is not selfish — it’s neutral.

expecting people whom you supposedly “love” to suffer FOR YOU is the epitome of selfishness.

Suicide is in no way selfish. When you are that low you no longer care about anything or any one. It’s a release from the hell that some people feel being alive. It is of course hard on the family and friends of the victim but knowing thet the person is now at rest must be some little comfort.
