When is suicide the right answer?

[BlueLock]

Every time I look this up I find 1000s of results deterring suicide, not even engaging with question--and I just really want an answer. When is suicide the right call to make for someone?

When somebody hates themselves , when somebody truly hates themselves , I mean truly truly hate , to hate yourself more than anything in the world , if you hate yourself more than anything in the world and you can never forgive yourself , I think that suicide makes sense in that case , suicide makes sense only when you truly truly hate yourself and are consumed by nightmares every second of every day. Someone whos brain has become the biggest weapon against themselves. Someones whos mind is a torture chamber. Think about this: "If tommorow I won the lottery and won 1 billion dollars and then I went on to achieve all of my dreams would I still be depressed" if the answer is yes then it makes sense. If you have no dreams , if you truly have no dreams , not even tiny ones , then you are probably already dead and so killing yourself would make sense.

I agree 1000%, I had this line of reasoning too, and came to the conclusion that there are absolutely no circumstance under which I'm willing to live every single day until I die naturally, for decades to come. Even in insane fantasy scenarios where all my needs and wants are met, I'd live for maybe a few months at most. I just have no interest in life and I refuse to suffer indefinitely.

It's the right answer when you don't have to go searching for answers about it on the internet. It's the right answer when you don't need to ask anyone, not even yourself, because you already know.

It is never the "right answer", it is merely an option that some choose to take. Life is not black and white and there is never one definitive route to take.

If that "someone" is me, then:

When someone has completely given up and they have absolutely no hope that they can get what they want out of life or that they can be who they aspire to be. The key is "no hope". It's a thorough understanding and conviction that things are not going to change.

When someone is ready to make the decision and not look back, and ready to stop considering possibilities, because they know their efforts are futile and won't lead to any solutions to their problems. When they're certain about this.

When someone is done with all the thinking and reasoning or with making any further efforts, and they just want out, because there is no point wasting time here in this life anymore.

When someone can accept the fact that it isn't the perfect solution and, in fact, they will feel miserable about doing it, but they know that this is the only reasonable and logical solution and the one they need to take if they want the best for themselves.

IMHO No one knows honestly.

Someone could just jump out in the spur of moment or they saw a gun and then shoot themselves. They may plan all of that all along, having several options in mind. But somehow the day just comes. "I must do it now".

Most of my attempts were impulsive, feels like I shouldn't be here after all. But after all that, I'm still here. Feeling miserable all over again.

Also I remember story on reddit when a teenage went back into her room during family occasion then just choke herself with a shoelace? Dad found her later an hour or so, and she was already long gone.

No one could tell.
