Discussion Worst reason to kill yourself?

[valar_morghulis21]

CTB over a breakup and this is coming from someone that wanted to commit suicide in her 20's over a breakup. I am now 57 and had several BF's and one marriage over the years since. My point is that the devastated, hopeless, can't live without them feeling does eventually go away. It may take a couple of years, but it really does subside even though it feels like it never will.

Agree with you. I could be bias cause romance and having a bf/gf is just lame to me. Having long-lasting platonic friendship and community is more fulfilling to me anyways

Maybe there are some "wrong" reasons, I was going to say terrorism or religious extremism….?

I'm trying to think of a stupid reason but I can't. Someone else mentioned a young person in their twenties offing themselves over a breakup and I kinda get that, but at the same time, that relationship might have been the only joy that person derived from life. It's just so different for everyone. When I see young people on here it definitely breaks my heart because it still feels like there's time to turn the car around, but I remember what it felt like being 16 and writing my suicide note and that genuine fear that there was no other way out. No amount of an adult telling me "It gets better, you'll regret that," was going to fix me. If anything, it only served to make me feel worse because no one was ever attempting to level with me, to hear what I was experiencing without brushing it off, or telling me I was stupid, wrong, etc. Bad shit happens when you don't help your kiddos when they need you and a lot of parents are just... shitty, or absent, or brutal, or inconsistent. Even the well-meaning ones.

Immature decisions based on emotions.

I dont think there's a wrong reason to, what might seem small to some of us can be a big deal to others.

Commiting to punish self. This is the most absurd reason I can think of, since if somebody really wanted to punish self, they would keep living.
