Would an average person ctb due to your problems?

[noname223]

I am not really the average person when it comes to sucide. I am quiet obsessed with these thoughts. But I have many severe problems and I think many people would consider suicide or go through with it due to the problems.
Statistics show that people with a bad progress of bipolar disorder are way more likely to ctb. Moreover poverty increases the risk of ctb further. I think many people would consider suicide with my problems. On the other hand in my numerous clinic stays i've met people who just denied every suicidal thoughts even though they felt shit. I cannot really understand these people.

 

[WornOutLife]

Mmmm if they were bipolar type I like me, maybe they would ctb anyway..
However, if they were just normal people they wouldn't ctb at all because all my problems, except for my existential crisis and unstable mind, are solvable.

Money? I should just work more.
Healthy life? I should just exercise and eat healthy food.
Love? I should just look for a girl.
Children? I could have some if I really wanted to.
Friends? I could have lots if I really wanted to.

A stable mind? Impossible. I'm trying to but there's just no way.
Non-suicidal thoughts? Impossible. I just hate to be an ant in this vast universe which has no answers.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Probably not, no.

I'm not that poor.
I'm not that ugly (well I think I am but people insist I'm not).
I've got friends and family.
No big mental disorders or physical deformities. Just good ol anxiety and depression.

All the bad stuff in my life could probably be dealt with by a more mature or better person, aka definitely not me. I would probably be destroyed if any further stress gets added.

 

[BeansOfRequirement]

If you take a normie and pop em into my life-situation they'd quickly turn things around and would enjoy their life.

 

[FuneralCry]

I don't know. I have some physical health problems that are making me feel this way, but none of them are like really severe. I have tinnitus but it isnt suicidal levels like some people have. I think I have always lacked the ability to cope and deal with certain situations and i'm mentally very weak so maybe not. I think my whole life I've kinda fantasised about death so I just think its inevitable that i'm like this.

 

[Symbiote]

I can't even talk to normies about my problems, how are they gonna survive 30 mins in my head....lol

 

[Rustysoupcan]

If by "average" you mean someone without mental illness, then no. My mental illness is the only reason I want to ctb. I have my own place and my own car and a loving partner and I am financially stable.

 

[Bootleg Astolfo]

Normal people who go through the same bullshit i have to deal with usually end up wearing a black trench coat and doing the very not nice to people whilst screeching some sort of manifesto until the police !ban them from existance.

 

[JustAMatterOfTime]

No I am quite certain they wouldn't, my problems would seem trivial to strong willed people I am sure of that. There are people that could easily find it in themself to move to another part of the country or even world and start a new life. They could get a job and from then just move on, probably meet new people within mere weeks and have a settled brand new life within what two or three months?

If they took over my life and didn't move away like that they would have it fixed within even less time that is what is sad, wish I could be like that, sometimes you don't bother trying to repair something you just throw it away.

 

[Pookie]

I have chronic pain and studies have shown that people living with chronic pain are at an increased risk of suicide. I have mental pain too due to how my life has been destroyed by chronic pain/health issues.

 

[Sprite_Geist]

Yes, because there is no difference between a person who has suicidal thoughts and someone who is "normal" - if normalcy exists that is. Those who are considered "average people" are just people that have not reached their breaking point - yet. Everybody has a psychological limit to how much pain they can endure, and therefore everybody is capable of having suicidal thoughts; humans that want to end their own lives are not a seperate or defective species.

 

[Mentalmick]

Everyone's experience's are different and the average person doesn't feel what we feel but if they did then I think the end result would be the same. In fact, they would probably kill themselves quicker because they haven't had time to build up barriers and bury everything.

 

[Happy deathday!]

I feel like if an average person lived my life they would've either definitely CTB'd by now, or they'd be in a psych ward for a very long time.

 

[Life_and_Death]

If a normal person had my problems they wouldn't be normal so I'm gonna say yeah they probably would.

 

[Meretlein]

The average person would be very miserable with my problems but probably wouldn't ctb. Actual suicide is rare compared to how many people have suicidal thoughts. The only thing that pushed me over the edge is that I was on the cusp of something so much better and refuse to settle for a lesser existence.

 

[Beachedwhale]

No

 

[Bat 17]

I keep being told by other people that no they wouldn't, I don't know, I've always had a tendency to think and act in extremes

 

[nolongerhuman]

While I can't ever know for sure it's my personal belief than anyone who had to live with my anxiety and paranoia for very long would at the very least think about it.

 

[WatermelonMel]

They'd probably somehow make do and push on but I'm just not having it. We shouldn't have to deal with our problems, fuck life.

 

[blue_muse]

For sure. I left a stranger, who was from the traditional part of Europe, speechless when I explained my physical health condition. The health revelation prevented the stranger from offering the usual platitudes. When people react that way, it validates why I feel the way I do and that I'm not being a crybaby.

 

[lanax09]

quite possibly, they'd at least be very miserable probably.
I've heard from some of my friends that I'm very strong for dealing with my mother and they wouldn't be able to handle it as well, and she, although being the main reason, is just the tip of the iceberg.

 

[PartlyHuman]

I'm not sure. I do have mental illness and physical health is bad too but I'm pretty sure that normal, mentally healthy person would have fixed the situation quite easily.

 

[Meditation guide]

No, the average normal person would never ctb in my situation.

 

[Rayzieka]

I kind of wonder about this. Because for me my diagnosis is schizophrenia, and when you google it- the suicide rate for others with the condition is 10%. But that still leaves a lot of people who don't ctb with it. But there are also levels of severity and I can't really gauge how bad mine is since I haven't looked into it very much. But at least for my sick sake I'd like to think its enough for most and that I'm not just dramatic.
But then there is my entire life of abuse to count in as well.

 

[Neowise]

My suicidal thoughts came slowly over time since I was in elementary school. I think I am used to permanent depression to a point my suicide threshold is higher than the one of a normie. I think if all of my depression, self hate, mental abuse and suicidal thoughts was taken from me and suddenly applied to a normie who is not used to it, then they would crack, cry and die fast. Similar to long term drug addics can take high doses that are absolutely lethal for non drug users.

If you take a normie and pop em into my life-situation they'd quickly turn things around and would enjoy their life.

This is great. I don't know if I should laugh or cry because it's probably too accurate.

 

[Anonymous_A]

Maybe.
I reckon it's a 33% split on; how we are brought up, the things we experience and consequently these two factors impact how our brain works/reacts to things.

For example; Look at how many lads you hear are suicidal because they lost their gf. (Or anyone breaking up with their partner).

Not something that affects me but quite a lot of 'normal' people would consider/think it's silly to do for such reasons.

Nobody really knows how somebody else copes with certain experiences. Some cope better with 'general' stuff than others. Some can't cope with stuff at all

 

[theunderdog]

Probably not, no.

I'm not that poor.
I'm not that ugly (well I think I am but people insist I'm not).
I've got friends and family.
No big mental disorders or physical deformities. Just good ol anxiety and depression.

Sounds just like me.

 

[EraseRewind]

I think they probably would, but I hope they wouldn't.

 

[sadbadpsychogirl]

yes. they would have done so many moons ago

 

[motel rooms]

The average person wouldn't even have the guts to watch a sanitized movie based on my childhood
