Suicide Prevention

[pocaracas]

Why does anyone feel like taking his own life?
There's so much to live for!

As Stimbo said, it's much more complicated than that, but I understand that people that have never been in a position where they felt the need to kill themselves can't really wrap their head around it. Ultimately, suicide is an act of desperation. It's an act that is undertaken when a person sees no way of escaping the daily and emotionally draining pain.

yep... I guess I can't wrap my head around that.
Psychological pain is something I don't understand.
I've had my bad days, but I know that there will be some good ones after.
It's like the song says:

Behind the clouds, the sun is shining
Believe me even though you can't quite make it out
You may not see the silver lining
But there's a big blue sky waiting right behind the clouds

In my case, it wasn't something I ever thought I could even consider. After I dropped out of college I got extremely depressed, and then I ended up quitting my job. I was living in my parent's basement with nothing to do but to endure the painful days in a drug fueled haze. The daily experience of only being able to dull the pain wore me out, and eventually, I decided to take my life.

Didn't work though...

Good thing it didn't work!
