Appreciate your time with friends and family while they're here. Don't wait until they're gone to tell them what they mean to you.
A lot of people in this thread don't understand the kind of despair one must feel to even think about ending their lives.
I was in a train a year ago when a man (didn't know at that point it was a man, only read about it later in the news) jumped under the train. His body was right under my seat and window when the EMT's were pulling him out. I mean, I saw parts of his body, lots of blood and guts, but couldn't define whether it was a man or a woman - that's how bad of a meat grinder it was.
The train was halted there for an hour, then it continued to the next station and everyone had to change the train.
I can put myself in their shoes, but that doesn't make the whole damn thing heroic.

Now it's the people who commit suicide that are often idiots.

That is the problem when people jump under trains too close to the stations when the train is not moving fast enough. This is what happens when a moose meets full speed train. It has just evaporated, and a moose is much bigger than a human.
Do elaborate, what is so good about suicide, that we should praise those who commit it?
Because the decision to commit suicide is not one that is made in a stable state of mind.
Of course they don't. Theres lot of things that go on in a depressed persons mind (even from a chemical standpoint) that are hard to understand and no one wants to acknowledge it. Instead those with such feelings are just "weak willed" or any number of other chest thumping ignorance. Nor does it help that those with depression often get distant which tends to cause those around them to get aggressive and often start going "Just stop it" like its some easy thing to get over.
People are stupid. People are ignorant. Most people weighing in one this subject have little to no knowledge on the subject but like to come in and act like they do to make themselves feel superior to those who do know about it.

Suicide is murder, with all the consequences of murder: grief for the relatives and friends, a damage to the family's hopes for happiness and survival and even economic sustainance. Since the murderer is dead there is no way to repair the damage done and as the murderer does not exist anymore he cannot be forgiven either. This is why it is so bad.
Some people have problems that will never be fixed and they can't bear it anymore. It's selfish for families and friend to hold on to these people for their own benefit.
I say let them go if they want to die.
Me not that kind of Orc!
If you are saying that a person should think about others before acting, you don't really understand someone with depression. I mean you can paint it up any way you want but this is a fact. It's like trying to understand what its like to be blind, by closing your eyes. You have no idea what the fuck you are taking about just because you got upset once or overcame some hardship. Depression isn't some temporary "boo-hoo my life sucks" moment that you climb out of by gritting your teeth.
Person is dead, mission accomplished. There is no human left in there.
Sad for relatives but it's also the person's choice to live or end the life that he/she never asked for.
It's tragic and all but good luck trying to guilt trip a corpse.
The wise wolf who's pride is her wisdom isn't so sharp as drunk.
Well in a way it's kind of selfish of them to not think of the impact they could have on others. They could cause someone else to be depressed and maybe they might end up killing themselves as well. These days there are people who are constantly trying to reach out to these people telling them to get help and talk to someone so there's really no excuse to keep feeling like you're alone. There are people out there who WANT to help, you just have to go to them. Then again the main problem is that these people feel unworthy of that help which makes them decide to not even bother. So it's a difficult subject.
I get a little depressed sometimes too. Of course not as extreme as people who have the actual sickness but I get those feelings sometimes too. Sometimes I feel like I never fit in anywhere and I always feel like I'm the last thing on people's mind. Sometimes they forget about me altogether. I also sometimes feel like I'll never find anyone to spend my life with because of how "weird" and "different" I am.
I sometimes wonder what it would be like if I were to just end it all. Release myself from all these responsibilities and worries but then I think about my family and the impact I could have on them. I may not think much of myself but I know my parents and siblings would be devastated about my death. So I think of that and think to myself "no, I couldn't put them through that". I also tell myself that I am stronger than this. Don't be so weak minded and take the cheap way out. Find your purpose, find what/who makes you happy and stick with that. Video games are one of the few things that make me happy so that's what I do and since I suffer from social anxiety there's not much else I can do until I find a way to overcome it.
