If you stopped living you wouldn't be able to enjoy the simple little things, the taste of food, the comfort of laying down in bed, playing games or watching videos. Such simple things that you would lose the ability to enjoy.

Most people who attempt suicide will suddenly find the will to live.

Just make sure to plan a way to get out alive if you do at some point decide you want to live.

As long as you're not an asshole, don't kill yourself!
Sadly, though-- assholes don't know they're assholes 'till they're too late.

Guys, I'm awfully sorry, but I just have to do this.

Why can't we let people just kill themselves? The world is overpopulated enough as it is. I honestly don't see what the big deal is. Everyone should have the power over their own lives, and if they wish to end them, so be it.

Now wouldn't I make an amazing psychologist?

Society invests a lot of time, money and resources into raising a person into adulthood.
If we let people kill themselves, it's a massive loss of investment.

Society actually doesn't give a shit, or else education wouldn't be so criminally underfunded all around the world. But this is going off topic.

If people kill themselves, it's their choice. Their lives belong to them alone. If you tell them they can't make that choice, aren't you restricting their most basic freedom?

I agree. I think people should be allowed to kill themselves.
But I also know that it is in society's best interests to try and keep its citizens alive.

So, what we try to do is convince people to find a reason to live, and help them see things more positively, and to find things that they like in ordinary situations.

Look, I agree with you here, but with some people, there comes a point where you should just give up.

Overpopulation is an entirely different subject that I won't get into, but saying that everyone should have the power over their own lives is not always true, especially when they are mentally unstable. Ask any doctor about medical consent. People are almost never in a healthy state of mind when they think that they should end their lives, and the ones who are are usually already terminally ill anyways.

If you are feeling depressed, you should talk to your family and close friends about it. If you feel like you don't have anyone to talk to, you can PM me. I'm no professional in any sense, but it's better than just bottling it up and going about your day without any sort of outlet.

If you are feeling suicidal, you absolutely NEED to call this number.

I promise that they will help you, because no matter how miserable you are or what anybody says, there is always a reason to keep on living.

Considering the amount of money and effort that humans are pouring into the arduous task of keeping the panda from going extinct, we really can't be seen to give up on our own brothers and sisters.

If you're terminally ill or mentally unstable, suicide is a quick way to end your suffering. I'd seriously consider it in that case.

If you are feeling depressed, you should talk to your family and close friends about it. If you feel like you don't have anyone to talk to, you can PM me. I'm no professional in any sense, but it's better than just bottling it up and going about your day without any sort of outlet.

My family are the reason for most of my depressions, and most of my close friends wish me dead anyway, because they know how I feel about it. PMing you would be useless, because I sure as hell won't change my mind no matter what you say.

I never said that I was just about to commit suicide or anything, I'm just arguing against suicide prevention. But you obviously can't do that without causing a major shitstorm.

You're only truly free if you can off yourself and no one cares.

That's a bad joke, isn't it? Humans have been killing each other off ever since they existed. They only snap when someone tries to do it to themselves, because that makes the rest of them unable to live out their bloodlust.

Terminally ill, maybe. Mentally unstable, no. There are many people that have been treated for their depression and suicidal thoughts and have went on to lead happy lives. Giving them the option to kill themselves when they don't even understand that they can live a mentally painless life would not be a good idea.

My family are the reason for most of my depressions, and most of my close friends wish me dead anyway, because they know how I feel about it. PMing you would be useless, because I sure as hell won't change my mind no matter what you say.

I wasn't talking to you, specifically. What kind of friends do you hang around with that want you dead?

I never said that I was just about to commit suicide or anything, I'm just arguing against suicide prevention. But you obviously can't do that without causing a major shitstorm.

Because believe it or not, people care about having their loved ones around, even when they've hit rock bottom.

You're only truly free if you can off yourself and no one cares.

So if they end their lives and someone cares, they're not really free? This doesn't seem to make any sense.

But they don't usually want to make that choice. Usually they just don't see any other way of solving their problem/s.

If you are suicidal/depressed there's nothing I can tell you to make you want to live... But I can make you feel better.

I suffer from depression and this kind of made me feel good. Not the whole thread it self, but that someone is at least trying to help.

I am not suicidal. I mean I have those feelings and thoughts but I am too suborn and always looking for a solution, plus I gravely fear what is on the other side.

We need a euthanasia system put in place to provide suicidal people with instant death with a 100% success rate.

But most suicidal people are cool, benevolent nice people like robin williams except usually not funny but whatever lol but they like are pushed to an extreme.

But if we're gonna have a state system that kills then why not put every single fucking person in the god damned world through like DOOM and only allow those who can get past at least level 3 to live. Let them all be naturally selected

then we'll have a world with 1 bill max, lots less jackasses and jock idiots and then we can provide assistance for the suicidal ppl, maybe send them some escorts and a keg o booze ya know.

Noone should have to deal with depression and isolation fuck that bro and fuck rural areas
