Do you think it is acceptable? When I was younger, I thought it was just strange. But then I thought about this when a young man committed suicide recently after a breakup.

Having a broken heart after someone your life almost completely revolved around and what you thought your future was going to involve/bring based on the person feels like losing your life, goals and plans. It feels like failure, hopelessness, loss. It really depends, and when someone is already weak or have a low self-confidence/are already isolated, its easy to spiral down to looking at suicide as a form of resolving things.

I can't remember where I read it but the supposed science to it was that a broken heart was akin to cocaine withdrawal. I'm sure if you asked a lot of coke addicts that are going through it they probably wish they were dead...
It's something to do with the sudden drop and dependence on the dopamine being in love produced. I don't have any sources I just remember reading about it a longtime ago.

When I was 21 or 22 I had a boyfriend that at the time I thought I loved and he would always cheat on me but I always stayed. One day I found more msgs on his phone and at that point I was already beyond depressed so I took a lot of Xanax and I tried to kill myself. (Did not work) but in my situation I think I was to young and in love that I didn't realize how stupid I was.

When you're in love you're literally intoxicated.
It really depends of the situation. We can't say if it's acceptable or not like that, there is too much variants

I don't fully understand it myself, but I do think that everyone should have the right to die regardless of if I personally see their given reasons as valid or not.

Personally I can't understand it. I believe it's a situation that can fairly easily get better and be managed. If someone was in that situation I'd recommend they give it at least a year to see if it gets better, because it very likely will. Unlike a lot of people that have serious disorders that leave them to believe suicide is the only solution

When it comes to hurting feelings without boudaries especially with mentally disordered people it make dance macabre.
Because it is easier to overcome fears when your heart is broken .
Because it's really painful and for some that pain can be all encompassing and they can't see a way out.
I've had my heart crushed a couple of times but it never made me think of suicide.

Its a tough change. My ex isn't the reason I am ctb but the break up was extremely hard on me. We'd lived together spent three years together and did a lot together. To go from having someone in your life all the time being able to depend on that person for love affection and support is a lot. I felt like id had a rug ripped from under me. Then to have that same person tell you they no longer love you you'd be better off telling talking to someone else about your mental state for me it was devastating. My mom died in the same year my ex left me yet i cry more at the loss of my ex for some reason. I feel incredibly stupid about it which is why i try not to talk about it as much but the feeling of losing my ex and my mom are the same for me. Both hurt my heart. One is dead one is alive but i can't have both in my life anymore. I wish i could erase him from my memory.

My mother killed herself when my father died. He was an Air Force pilot and having children was just thoughtless of them. Maybe that's why I didn't commit suicide when my heart was broken. I don't have children but somehow I had to demonstrate that a person doesn't *have* to die of a broken heart.
I suspect my mother wasn't a person I would've liked very much.

I think it is ok. Especially if you have no other reason to live. Some people do not live for themselves and are trapped here. That is alright, life doesn't really matter anyway. Except to those who function well for now. Lonliness is enough to kill many people except those who can adapt to survive well on their own. Some can not.

Yes, it's a drug, and drugs are bad, they are incompatible with reason.

No, commiting suicide over heart break alone isn't justifiable because it's a temporary problem.
Maybe yes, maybe no. I guess it really depents on type of person someone is, how connected they were, maybe mutual plans etc.
I don't have answer to your question. But why do you even ask this?
When my friend killed himself, for me this was stupid thing, but for him it's the worst thing could happen. Same thing goes for probably half threads I read around here. I don't see big deal, but unfortunately that's not how mind works :(
And probably more than half of you would laugh for my reasons to kill myself.

I used to think it was silly, but now I think it's as valid a reason as any. Especially if one feels they really did try to move on. And some people have it in them to move on and others simply don't I guess.
And I should add, having your "heart broken" doesn't necessarily have to pertain exclusively to romantic crap; there's PLENTY of demoralizing crap in this world to witness to truly break a spirit :)

I think it's acceptable, every pain is valid. When you have revolved your world around someone who is special to you and then they leave you, it's so painful. That itself is a loss so the grief will be there. I think if you have been through it, it's easier to understand.

Every day is for me like a broken heart
I am ctb and could probably say because of a broken heart but I lost my husband suddenly and I don't want to do life without him. It would be a sentence and I'd constantly be living a lie that I'm ok with things so yeah I'd say so.

i think any reason is valid. i know someone who is suicidal because he has small ears. personally i wouldnt ctb for that reason but i dont judge him for it.
Well I wouldn't know for I have never experienced love. Though one of the biggest reasons for my soon to be CTB is the lack of love.
Please don't get me wrong, but for now I don't want to talk about it. I have already prepared post for this website (as my goodbye thread) which describes everything.
But again, for probably 90% people my reasons are stupid, but not for me. Literally 2 nights ago I woke up in full panic mode. I have never experienced anything like this feeling.

For people who can get another partner, it is just a temporary problem. For others, the person they lost may have been their ONLY chance at spending their life with someone. It is a reason why some people stay with partners who cheat on them; out of fear that they will not be able to find someone else. It is extremely difficult to adjust to life when you had someone so heavily involved in it. It is difficult to adjust to life when you no longer have a person you can confide everything in. Some people simply do not want to start over getting to know another person that way.

I remember when I was a young woman, being devastated, having my heart broken multiple times and thinking I was going to die. I didn't die, I went forward and found someone who truly loved me for who I was. Life is very painful especially when you are starting out. Death is not the answer when you have your who,e life ahead of you, I say that with honesty and know it to true!
My husband were together for 30 years, he died tragically, now I am truly broken, torn in half and unable to function. Too old start over, no desire to meet strangers. I had the best years of my life, till did we part. I will CTB soon and it's all I can think of that keeps me going.
It is not acceptable, who would accept that pain? But we can do nothing about it.

I never understood how anyone could consider ctb until I lost my love and best friend of 30 years. It is absolutely devastating.
