Why are we so suicidal?

[hunter_lewis]

Why can some people deal with life, for example I read an article about a paraplegic mother who pushes her baby in front of her wheelchair and then I thought why can't I deal with my own problems?
I am in chronic pain and cannot walk anymore, but why am I suicidal but she isn't? It really makes you wonder

Maybe she is some days and some days she's not.
Maybe the not days are more frequent the days she is, and on balance she's doing okay.
That's her life though. We're all different, can't walk a mile in someone else's shoes if you can't get in them.

I don't know. I think it's what Dbd says and possibly our upbringing and our world view maybe. I struggle with chronic pain, it is a reason along with society changing in ways I don't like. Maybe shouldn't have commented but it's just what think.

Nothing wrong with commenting about it.
The fact is, we don't actually know she isn't. There's no way of knowing someone's thoughts unless they tell us.
She could just be really great at hiding it.
i think it's a combination of, well, pretty much everything that influences our mental state—for the most part.
I think between what genes we are born with, how we were raised to deal and cope with everything in life, the environment we grew up in, and whether or not our brains are chemically balanced..I think it all plays a part.
It's kind of like how two people can be born with the same biological possibility of being schizophrenic, but only one develops it because their environment and how they were raised were the right combination to bring it out.
It's the luck of the draw—no rhyme or reason.

I suspect that sometimes suicidal thinking has been implanted in us early in life. I was a sad child, a sad teenager, then things really got serious in my 20's and on from there. I did have a high adverse childhood events score.

Everyone is unique and so is there experiences, no two are the same. That being the case others have a higher pain threshold then others, everyone has a limit to how much bullshit they can take before they have had enough. Some hold on because of family or responsibilities, others rarely have anything really chaining them to this world. People are starting to awaken to the reality of this world, and the futility of life and it's many problems. Others purposely distract themselves in order to avoid the horrible truth, ignorance is bliss. Life is bleak, empty, and pointless. It will only get more worse as time passes by, I guess before that happens some have taken it upon themselves to end it before then. And you cannot blame them.

I have no self control and extreme anxiety/depression. I just feel like I'm failing myself year after year and I just don't care to go on anymore, I've peaked in the past and I'm willing to accept that. I'm nothing but everything I wish I could avoid.

In my opinion, if someone hasn't thought of suicide once in their life they're either a sociopath or insane, maybe both...

Because thick skin is a gift from God (i.e. your DNA and first years of life).

Don't have it = you're screwed for life and only the fear of death would keep you here for 70 years.

 

[Amber1974]

Had enough im 44 its not like I havent tried

 

[bluesleep]

In my case I regret the past and fear the future, I just don't want to suffer anymore, I wish I had the guts to kill myself now.

 

[marcusuk63]

Depressed people see the world more realistically
And happy people are just delusional.

 

[Raven40]

Honestly I would like to know the answer too

Shitty family, made too many mistakes, lost too much.

Addiction - mistakes - brain damage- pain and suffering

I was thinking that it is easier- not always, but it could be a factor- for people who have dependents and ESPECIALLY a strong support network, to survive. There is something to be said for feeling needed and loved. Part of me just feels like no one is that invested in me. Which hurts, but then again, I feel more comforted when I think about my suicide in that they will be able to move forward in time, in a way that someone very much bonded to me could not.
