γνῶθι σαυτόν

Whales, dolphins, and apes are the only animals, other than humans, known to commit suicide.

I can’t stop thinking about suicide. 

I’m evil / Woken up again / To plan eternal sleep again / No strength / No time / NO REGRETS / Blank walls / Like St. John / Take me back to square one again / Is it life after death / Or ready to die / again

R U OK? Day

Thursday 15 September, 2011 is R U OK? Day. It’s a national day of action which aims to prevent suicide by encouraging Australians to connect with someone they care about and help stop little problems turning into big ones.

Staying connected with others is crucial to our general health and wellbeing. Feeling isolated or hopeless can contribute to depression and other mental illnesses, which can ultimately result in suicide. Regular, meaningful conversations can protect those we know and love.

On that day we want everyone across the country, from all backgrounds and walks of life, to ask family, friends and colleagues, “Are you OK?”

It’s so simple. In the time it takes to have a coffee, you can start a conversation that could change a life.

What an incredibly selfish thing to say. I don't know what goes on in your life or head, but the worst you have gone through is still trivial compared to the problems of millions - millions who don't complain and just get on with it. I wouldn't even be surprised if much of your 'suffering' is self-inflicted. Do you think any burden you release by taking such an action is, in any way at all, worth the burden you transfer to those around you? Open your mind. You disgust me.

You’re right about one thing, anon. You definitely do not know (nor do you care) about what goes on in my life or my head. And I don’t care if I disgust you because your judgements, false accusations and hypocrisy disgust me more. I understand only too well that there are millions of people in this world suffering tenfold the amount that I do, but that doesn’t mean I don’t suffer. We all suffer on a different frequency, we all ride up and down on these strange, personal wavelengths of ours. The worst I have gone through may still seem trivial to a starving child with AIDS, living in a third-world, poverty-stricken, war-torn country, but to me, it’s always going to be the worst, it’s my own rockbottom, and it hurts. And I just get on with it too! The only place I have left to be honest with myself, to express my problems and my pain, and not even to its full extent is here. So why are you trying to take that away from me? I tell my family, and my friends, and my psychiatrist, and anyone who cares to know, that I’m getting better. It makes them happy, and they don’t have to worry about me anymore. It’s easier that way, easier for them at least.

Suicide isn’t selfish. The only people who have ever said that to me are those who have never brushed with the pain that drives you to that end. It’s the emotional wavelength/frequency thing again. The same people have also said to me that depression is just a weakness, and that it’s not that hard to find the strength to stop being sad all the time. Depression is far deeper, far darker than a feeling of sadness. The idea of suicide stems from that same complexity, and as much as it hurts family and friends, I think the real victim is always the one sick enough to take their own life. Selfishness is trying to stop them.

When did I ever say that it would?

Suicide is not selfish. What your not realizing is that its a last resort. A person becomes so consumed with negative emotion/pain/stress/ect that each day of their life becomes torture. When you can no longer find strength inside yourself, when your principles crumble under the pressure that is this world we live in, when your soul has left your body and you are a walking husk, when(in your mind)everything that could possibly go wrong in your life HAS gone wrong, thats when people turn to suicide. What is selfish about wanting pain to end?The way a person lives their life is 100% their choice, and if they choose to end it you cant stop them(really your just guilt tripping them)by calling them selfish. As much as it hurts those around them(and I know it really does)the victim is the one who took their own life..they'd been in deep pain for much longer
