Discussion Is there a suicide reason that you consider dumb or invalid?

I have issues with people the ctb while they have young children. You put kids in this terrible reality and then you abandon them leaving them to the wolves of this cruel world. If you willingly chose to have kids please at the very least ensure that they will somehow be in a good situation after you ctb, its the fault of the parent that they exist to begin with. . At least wait until they are old enough to fend for themselves.

Speaking from a parents' perspective, when I was at rock bottom: Besides everything else that led to me being in that state, I had the feeling that I was a bad parent, unable to provide the emotional and material support that my children needed. The idea that the government might notice and take my children away from me started to emerge and comfort me, because I was hoping they'd be in a better place, with someone who can care better for them than me, even without me CTBing. As to my understanding on how CTB thoughts emerge, they can provide an idea that allows you to find calm and rest when all other options fail, and those thoughts about the government taking care of my children was basically the same. So I guess when there are no other reasons why somebody else would take care of your children, the idea of creation a reason by CTBing is understandable to me now.

I still get tears in my eyes when I remember those moments, but understanding how these thoughts came to be helps me deal a bit better with the pain and the associated shame. I think those thoughts did not come because I wanted to neglect them, but because I wanted them to have a better life than I could provide.

Another thing about children is that one can underestimate their effect on one's life before having them, like strain on relationships, job security and sleep deprivation, which can exacerbate or cause depressive symptoms, and finally generate intrusive CTB thoughts.

I have read about people who killed themselves because their soccer team lost.

Personally I do not think there is such a thing as an invalid reason to want to commit suicide.

If I am dragged to a party, I should not be required to have a particular reason to want to leave.

Similarly, none ever wished for life in the first place, so none should be required to have a reason to want not to keep living or shamed for not wanting to do so.

Ok, finally read everything, most of you reached a consensus that "no, there's not such a thing"

But I have my remarks: I really agree that CTB while having kids should be avoided, but that's not exactly a motive to CTB (unless the person want to CTB because of their kids, that would be nuts); and I really liked that some of you stated that "even no motive at all is valid", yeah I already met a person like this, I just don't like to live so I'll be better dead

Nowadays, I'm personally just hanging around to see the "what if's" that Forever Sleep mentioned

Politicians. I was smh in disbelief when I saw people posting that they were suicidal after hearing Trump won. There are countries where you could end up in the equivalent of a medieval dungeon for the most minor of crimes, where your families could be tortured in front of you to extract confessions. In my country you could be sent to prison for simply sharing a controversial tweet or eating the wrong type of meat. Hell if I posted I'm going to ctb tomorrow here on SaSu and if the police got a hold of it somehow, I'll be arrested since suicide is still a crime! Yet somehow Trump is the devil incarnate who'll usher in the apocalypse . No politician is worth ctbing over
