Isn't Norway up there on the list of "happiest countries"?

 

[hopelessgirl]

Hei. Ja :-)

Isn't Norway up there on the list of "happiest countries"?

Yes it is

 

[stilhavinightmares]

Hei. Ja :-)

Yes it is

I often wonder if I would still be suicidal living in a country like Norway. Or as depressed and hopeless.

I see there are plenty hurting though. Sending you love.

I love the Norwegian people very much. If I was in Norway I wouldn't want CTB but I'm in a shitty Asian country.

 

[Anna.]

Hei. Ja :-)

Yes it is

norway here, makes me feel less alone knowing that. i wonder if anyone lives near me

Ja

Still has fairly high suicide rate though, like other northern countries. I would think the long winters has an effect.

Totally makes sense

 

[delinatiff]

Yep

 

[blur10600]

Jepp, not Norwegian but have been living in Norway for ages.
My CBT struggles have nothing to do with this country though. They have to do with two horrible people from yet another country, one which is very much in the news today for their lying, self-righteousness, and aggression.

 

[SmiteMe]

ja

That's quite invalidating really. We could all point to things in each other's lives saying we would want to live if we had xyz. We're all here because we don't want to live.

It doesn't matter if you are in a safe country if the people you live with aren't safe. Or that your country is rich if you're poor. There's tons of bad medical practice here too, both mental and physical. It's also one of the most isolating places in the world. Most importantly, people abuse each other like every other place in the world.

If I were you, I wouldn't try to manage other people's emotions. I know what I want. I live in a country where everything is wrong. Every day a woman is killed here because she wants a divorce. A thief with billions of dollars runs the country. There are millions of people who voted for him even though they certainly knew he was a thief. He is still the president of this country. The interior minister is a narco boss. There may be a civil war here soon. Isis supporters may come to cut my head off. I just wish for once to experience what it's like to live in a normal country. Don't say what I need, don't say what I want please! This is hell.

I'm not trying to manage your emotions or tell you what you need. It's completely understandable to want to live in a safer country. But if someone from a safer country like Norway is suicidal it's because the same things or other things happen to them. All it takes is individuals. I've seen the sentiment of "how can someone be suicidal in Norway" here before and that's what the undertone of this thread looked like to me. If that's not what you meant then I apologize for that.

I moved to Norway from England a few years ago. I wouldn't say Norway itself has anything to do with me wanting to CTB, but I have had two very traumatic relationships since I moved here and the second one is the final nail in the coffin for me. I just can't recover.

The fact that i feel pretty isolated and alone, in a "foreign land" certainly doesn't help either. I just need to stop the pain

"how can someone be suicidal in Norway" Anyone who says this has probably done very little reading on this site. I cannot speak for others. I just said what I felt. Think about your most hated song. Imagine if that song was played 5 times a day so loud that the whole city could hear it. He cries in arabic. Arabic is not my language. Every day I listen to his cry in Arabic 5 times. Again and again. Muslims are very ignorant, aggressive and disrespectful. It is one of my biggest dreams to live without hearing the call to prayer for only a few weeks. So Norway is like a real paradise next to my country. I've never been abroad. It is a dream for me to be able to walk on the street in a society where people who respect each other live. When I was 20, we collided with an English-speaking tourist on the street. He turned and smiled and apologized to me. I felt something I had never felt in 20 years. It's like the sun has risen inside of me. A very sincere smile and apology. It was as if I saw "human" for the first time. It made me feel human. Living in this country is like the devil raping your soul every minute. Sorry if my first post was offensive. I guess I was just a little angry again.

i'm sorry man :( it sucks that we can't control these circumstances. i hate this aspect of inequality so so so much

Still has fairly high suicide rate though, like other northern countries. I would think the long winters has an effect.

definitely, seasonal depression hits hard
