I've attempted suicide three times, one an amateurish attempt, the other two quite serious. My mother attempted and left me to find her, clean up the mess and care for my brother while she was hospitalized for months. Three friends died by their own hands (two by gunshot, one by overdose).
Morally wrong? I can't judge for another person when they've reached the point of unbearable pain. Selfish? It absolutely can be.
Can it be distilled down to black-and-white right-or-wrong? I think not.
But you're awesome CD, why would you want to kill you?
I don't. Not anymore. I had a psychotic break shortly after graduating high school, which is when my first two attempts occurred. The third was in 2008 when I wasn't very connected to reality - and abusing cocaine to boot (p.s. auto airbags work really, really well).
Never underestimate the power of mental illness.
