"Wear Teal for National Survivors of Suicide Day"

-----------------------------------------------------------------
I feel that if you survive a suicide attempt, most likely you weren't trying to kill yourself, it was just the whole 'cry for help' thing (unless someone caught you and stopped you).

I just don't get why this needs to be a color-wearing day. Too often suicide attempts and depression can be used as a cry for attention.

I've always viewed suicide as a truly selfish act. Have I contemplated it before? Yep. But then I realized I'd be:

1. A quitter (of the biggest game ever..."life")
2. An asshole for what it would put my family and friends through

If someone is that low to kill themselves, they should just do it. One less person breathing my oxygen and taking my space!

In my opinion, if you're committing suicide, you are basically admitting that you have failed at life. When you fail at suicide, you are failing at failing. If you fail at failing, does that mean you've somehow succeeded?

Guys, I realize we are a pretty irreverent group, but knowing firsthand the effects of suicide, attempted suicide, and the confusing mental processes/pain that crush a family, it is my opinion that this is not a topic to joke about.

Not something I'd joke about in mixed company. The little people that type messages to me from inside my magic box (that would be you guys) aren't mixed company.

Honestly, there are days that I would love nothing better than the sweet release of death, but unfortunately I cannot die until I have been to Stravromula Beta.

No, wait, I'm getting me confused with literary characters again. Scratch that.

I'm just fairly certain that whatever does kill me will be pretty mundane, given some of the truly outrageous things that I have done (or had done to me) that didn't kill me. Since I am anything but mundane, I cannot die by my own hand.

I would do a video for you guys proving that, but it would probably hurt, and I don't like pain.

fuck you, you piece of shit. You have seriously just pissed me off beyond belief. I lost one of my best friends because he committed suicide.

suicide is not something to fucking joke about. end of fucking story

I plan on going out in a hail of gunfire. If I'm ever diagnosed with a terminal diseases, that's exactly what I'll make happen.




@Boredalt: Apologies for my poor taste failing at suicide joke.


In all seriousness, I just don't understand suicide. I've been really depressed, gone on meds, and contemplated suicide for long enough to stare at a knife and consider slitting my wrists with it. I was an RA and had to help a suicidal student...so I've dealt with it.

I just came to the conclusion that it's a selfish act (for how it hurts those you love most), and simply quitting on life. Is anyone's life really that bad, that ending it all is the best and only option?

I watched a good indie movie recently "It's Kind of a Funny Story..." and it dealt with suicide in a very matter-of-fact way. The end of the film the point was:

1. Your life probably isn't bad enough to ever justify suicide
2. Suicide is quitting.

Your life isn't ever really bad enough to justify suicide. This is true 99% of the time in cases of suicide.


It doesn't negate the illusion of despair that depression, bipolar and mental illness can bring upon some unfortunate soul however.

Well, I don't think I was making a joke about it, and sorry if you think that way. Anything is better the sucicide, there's always a way out of something. I don't, and won't ever believe that killing yourself is resolving your problem. Just what I personally believe, sorry.

Sooo you weren't joking about telling people who are depressed enough to consider suicide to just commit it because they are breathing your precious air?

You are a piece of fucking dirt that deserves to get stomped on.

Well, if you believe that, then think that. Would you rather have me lie to you saying that I feel so sorry for them or whatever? Well, I personally don't care about this that much, so It will end here for myself.
