I don't understand why people commit suicide

[Glickman]

yea i dont believe someone can just turn suicidal.

there was also just an instance of suicide by someone who went to my school. They are now contemplating whether or not he was bi-polar.

i also really hate how the school deals with it where i am

they dont bring it up because they dont want to remind people of it, they actually said they dont want "copycats"

now THERE is a way that will edge someone on. i think that the more you talk about it, the less you contemplate it. kinda like the fear of death itsself

although i think some of the "im so depressed" is just crap as well.


its a permanent solution to a temporary problem

[Echo419]

Because of people like Echo419.

You just made my day

[gimp]

I agree that the 'I'm so depressed' is crap. Those people just want attention. The people who actually suffer from depression don't go around saying how depressed they are. They don't tell anyone then they blow their brains out.

For those of you that are saying "Oh I'm so depressed" is a cheap excuse, load of crap, or an attention whoring action are ignorant.

Depression is real. A certain type of depression is caused by shortage of serotonin levels in the brain. If you have taken even high school psychology, you know that serotonin is important to neuroreceptor function.

To call a physiological disorder an excuse, is ignorant. Science doesn't judge people, you ignorant buffoons do.

Most people that fall into depression tend to sleep more. Some people show signs, others seem like the happiest person in the world..But when they get home they cry and cry not quite sure exatically what for. Thier mind races when they try to sleep and thoughts of the simplest things brings them down. Life and stress don't seem to get to them during the day but when no one else is around they loose it and have the utmost feelings of hopelessness. Many things bring on such things.

Basically what I am saying is... The people you least expect commit suicide because they are very good at hiding thier real feelings and putting on an act. It seems as if they are there to make everyone happy and nothing bothers them when in actuality putting on a front is thier way of trying to kid themsleves. Just cause you act like you are happy does not mean that you truely are happy.

Automaggin2, I wish you and everyone around you the stregnth to deal with this difficult time of unanswerable questions. ((hugs))

Yeah right I think he knows more than we allow him to!

About a thousand people will show up for the funeral, but in six months, only a handful, his family and real friends, will even remember his name. That handful, however, will agonize over his suicide for the rest of their lives. Some will be utterly devastated.

Some of the initial commotion may plant the seed in the minds of others. The, "God, look how sad he made everyone..." factor may appeal to some.

Suicide is a selfish, permenant, solution to a temporary problem.

This is the sad truth. And the most hurt are the survivors. There is no "reason" that any of us will understand. Clinical Depression is a deadly disease often striking the brightest and what appear to be most productive people around us. Its estimated that one in 7 people suffer from some form of Depression. And the odd thing is that those suffering have no reference point other than thier own to know whats normal and whats not. They think they way they see everything is just like everyone else see's it. And so often assume everyone feels the way they do. I have thought on this for like 8 years now as to why, and I still really have no answers for you. I wish I did.

Yea and you do..ok
and past tense of hang is hanged when talking about a person.

[Thordic]

Yes, when you are speaking of hanging someone with a rope or other ropish instrument, the past tense is hanged, not hung.

He hanged himself, not he hung himself. Even if you hung out with him last week, he hanged himself the day after.
