I once did a rough tally on the amount of deaths of people that I had "partied" with off and on for 33 years and I use the term "partied" with very loosely, and it came out to approximately 150 deaths  ......car accidents,liver failure,suicide,overdoses,shootings,murders,HIV, etc.etc.

Glad I stopped !!

 

1                    Smartest thing you could have done. two of my best friends both died in 2009, both were the same age as me. they lived a crazy party life. I guess you reap what you sow.

With all the shit that happened to me I thought of the permanent sleep many times, but I figured any day above ground is a better day, despite the pain, suffering, and heart break it might bring. When I get depressed I usually play music till the thought passes.

Good man.....though I have chronic depression,and have been at  deaths door more than a few times, I thank God daily to still be above ground.

Music is a huge help.

It`s gotta beat a permanent dirt nap any day!!

My father, his mother, and his sister committed suicide. That's 3 out of a family of 4. My mom is still alive, and a fighter. I have her mentality. There's way too many hobbies to take up instead of suicide. You can jerk off every day if you want to make life interesting. If you have extreme physical pain or been blinded and deaf then I'll understand. Imagine losing your eyesight and hearing. Would you want to still live? Not me. Fuck no. I guess I could live without hearing. Going blind would be another tough pill to swallow. Not sure I'd accept that. I have respect for people who are blind and still trying to make it in the world.

When I was a teenager we visited friends of my mom. They introduced us, and I thought their daughter was cute. She had sunglasses on. But she acted kind of cold and distant when I shook her hand. I went out on their property and was pissed off thinking she was a total snob. I stayed outside until the visit was over, and they were yelling at me to come to the car and wondering where I had gone. I mumbled something and got in the car and we drove off. My mom asked me what was wrong and I told her that girl was a total snob with her sunglasses. My stepfather was annoyed and said she had an eye condition and was practically blind! I felt like a total asshole in that moment. The girl ended up moving to Germany and has since died. She was about my age.

Casserole speaking here. Buncha gay pansies in this thread. I'm actually a big supporter of male suicide and encourage a lot more of it. If you're a fuckin' loser who beats his wife and your own kids fear you... kill yourself. If you're a chronic fuck-up who spreads nothing but misery because you can't act like a decent adult... kill yourself. If you treat dogs like shit... double kill yourself.

Life is short anyway, and if you can't find it in yourself to do even just a little bit of good then just fuckin' man up and end it. Leave all the money that you'll spend on booze to charity, and leave your disgusting pear body to organ donation.

Big Rob should NOT kill himself, though. He just needs 8 weeks on the Casserole Program to get in shape and then he should go on a U.S. tour beating the shit out of the losers I'm talking about. He will get his mojo back.

How's about I just end your life with an overhand right from the depths of hell, you soft Irish Tellytubby. Our fight would be over in three hits. Me hitting you... you hitting the deck... and the ambulance hitting 90mph on the way to the hospital.

Suicide is nothing more than self defense against the person who is ruining your life.  Suicidal people are simply angels that want to go home.

I couldn't imagine things being so bad that I would end my life over them.  There are some instances though where I could understand it.  Like Obisdian said, being blind would be horrible.  Other situations :

- like the girl from my school I described
- losing my arms or legs, or being paralyzed
- having a slow developing terminal illness

But some of these people that kill themselves because their girlfriend broke up with them, or they lost their job, or silly shit like that (which I understand is not really silly in their eyes), those people could have toughed it out and made something worth waking up for each day.

Ok, I will elaborate further for those in DMs.  And then you can decide if she was validated in taking her own life.   When I was in high school there was this guy Corey who was a year ahead of me.  His sister was a couple years younger.  Their home life was really fucked up.  I mean FUCKED UP.  Their parents were super religious.  But it wasn't a religion that I know of.  Not a certain branch or anything.  Corey would never talk about it.  But their parents believed Satan was in anything and everything.  Always trying to corrupt them.  They didn't even have a TV in the house because that was "how Satan was trying to enter their home".  No radio.  Christmas?  Didn't celebrate it.  Thanksgiving?  Nope.  Halloween?  Are you kidding.  Corey was 17 as a senior and had never been to a movie theater, never celebrated his birthday or gone to a classmate's birthday party, never had toys like GI Joe, Transformers, He Man, etc.. (they were from the devil) or even had a lunch from the school cafeteria.  They would wake up and have "worship service", breakfast and then to school.  Home and doing homework, dinner at 6pm followed by "worship service" and then in bed by 8.   At lunch time the two of them (he and his sister) had to sit in an empty classroom and eat lunch they brought from home.  You know how Mondays are the day every high school student dreads?  Well in this case, Corey loved Monday because then he could ask about the TV shows we were watching and movies we had seen over the weekend.  Never had a pair of Nikes because Michael Jordan only worshipped money.  Never been to Disney World because it was "all a trick to enslave children by Satan".  It was BAD!!!

Ok, so Corey graduated and was accepted by the University of Georgia.  You would think that at this point, his life would just be starting.  That he would have all these amazing college experiences and such.  No.  He left for college and his father went with him.  They had a small apartment a mile from campus and lived there together.  Following the same routine.  Waking, worship, school, lunch from home, back home early dinner, worship and then bed.

Corey's sister was just as miserable as he was.  But her hope and saving grace was that she was going to college and then could to do what she wanted.  Then she saw that their father went with Corey.  And her mother was planning to do the same with her when she graduated and went to college (move in and live together).  She was in the ninth grade at that time while I was a senior and just decided she couldn't go through another 3 years of high school and 4 years of college under than control.  Especially since her brother was the only outlet she had for talking and feeling normal and he was no longer around.  So she made her exit.

Now some people can say they understand how overwhelmed and depressed she was.  Others say that had she stuck it out another 7 years and finished college, she could say fuck off and go do whatever she wanted with her life.  But 7 years is a long time when you are in a position like that. 

Granted, once she decided and acted upon her decision  there was no going back and no second guesses.  No take backsies or second chances.  By expecting her to wait until she finished college it was like condemning her to further mental torture and abuse.   After Corey graduate from high school, I never saw him again.  Sometimes I wonder how he is doing and how he turned out.

I am amazed at the number of people on here who are struggling with mental health issues and have thought of ending it.  It is always good to reach out to someone if you are feeling this way.

A damn shame.....sounds like Jehova Witnesses to me.....I grew up with a family right across the street from me for years.........they never went  anywhere or celebrated anything.

This was wayyyyy worse.  It wasn't even an organized religion.  Yeah, I know that is an oxymoron but it was just them.  They didn't have fellow church goers.  They just "made up" their own religion it seems.  Everything he had was off brand because logos and corporations were from the devil.  They even selected his university study for veterinary medicine because it ensured he would not work for a major corporation later on in the future.

Corey used to tell us that when they went to the grocery and such or a place like Kmart, he couldn't even wander around and look at TVs there, or comic books or the toy section.  After his sister killed herself his mother moved to Athens as well and I never heard from them again.
