Does it take courage or cowardice to commit suicide?

[Edwardo Piet]

Neither.

Usually its mental illness or being in a terminal condition of sorts anyway and not wanting to suffer more before you go.

Depression is often linked with a kind of emotional numbness.  Depression robs people of joy. Food tastes bland. Entertainment is boring. Music is just noise.  Suicide is just another form of self-harm that sometimes comes from a misguided attempt to feel something, anything. It does not take courage to dispose of what one thinks has no value.

Been there. Done that. Nuf' said.

So true. And same here.
