Suicide yossic00: I don't agree with that page. They argue that the reason for suicide is pain and pain is usually considered something temporary; wait till the pain goes away and there is no reason to suicide. However, if I were in an accident and lost all my limbs, that is a very permanent thing; I'm not sure I would want to live in that state.  WabbitStew: yossico.. that's a slightly different scenario but i get what you're saying. I also think it's difficult to know how you would or wouldn't feel in a situation until you're in it so I can't really say one way or the other how true that is. BUT I will say that the essential message of that page is that most pain, especially emotional pain can end. With the right support, help, love and most of all effort it is possible to get beyond what you are feeling. I think the page is useful. Sorry if you disagree.  james5121: WOW WOW WOW that was (is) great first time i have ever come across something like that thanks for sharing that. NOW for pain that doesn't go away I lost my son to suicide and that pain DOES not go away it is very sneaky creeps up on me from my memories and gets all over me .I never had coping skills other than ("what's wrong with you ,get over it,buck up, big boys don't cry, you don't want to be a sissy do you, you get the idea) 59 years old and learning how to relate to others ,how to cope with the pain of rejection, the pain of being alone,trying to keep the lies i have learned about love from clouding what the book says true love is, my soul ,my being isn't capable(at this time) of knowing a love like the FATHER but i have faith he says it's true and i believe it. So far he has grown me to be able to see my weaknesses and he has changed me and is growing me . Someday i will be able to except love and give love to have an intimate relationship with others (emotional,spiritual,physical) The pain was why i medicated with anything that would numb the pain and when i couldn't get it low enough to get thru the night i wanted to die and i thought of great ways to do it . But thank GOD he had grown me enough to be able to reach out and ask for help and it was there when my son killed himself .Because put all the other pain i had went thru and it does not come close to that. But thank GOD TODAY i am sober happy and free I have a lot of growth ahead but NOW i know it's possible due to the HOPE HE gave me. JUST a side note for anyone in the kind of pain that brings you to your knees if i can help i may not be a smart man but i am growing into a man.  Amanda: Read this before. To a point suicide is a choice, but after that point is passed there is very little choice in what happens. I hope people see this before they've passed that point. cragrollin: it got me back, even if im still thinking i have stopped wanting if that makes any sens. Amanda: Yeah it does make sense. I understand where you're coming from- I always had to lie about my suicidal thoughts since no one could figure out the difference between life threatening thoughts and just 'normal for me' thoughts. gemeo: u go into a zone like no mans land drift. Plan. When u reach breaking point. Others dont notice because it is in your mind | Self-Improvement Chat Room Similar Conversations |
