EDIT: goddamn you speedy shits.

Ench you fucking slow-coach, rigamortis would have set in by now.

Aww, MA you're such a sweet cunt.

WHat happened? Did you all pussy out?

Thank God I can still move my fingers at the bottom of this cliff with a broken back and my phone survived the fall (some how). I can now give you all a good telling off!

But but but!! .... I care :3

So, we're not doing it because of the infidel?

Which one?

This is getting morbid.

I think it's time I cracked out some disgusting jokes to lighten the mood.

That one.

I missed a suicide thread, eh?

I really have no advice to give. The level of despair necessary for a person to want to die drowns out all rational thought. It's almost impossible to truly take into account the pain that it would cause other people. Also, it takes a certain level of selfishness to come to that decision in the first place, so that makes it even harder to get through to the person. I don't even know why I'm replying to this, to be honest. I have no idea what anyone could possibly do or say to make someone who truly wants to die change their mind.

I guess I can say this. Time dulls the pain. I won't tell you that life gets better. It may not. Or it may. But the individual pains that you are experiencing will eventually fade.

Isn't that what mental health clinics are for?

We have the worst mental health clinic. They throw you in a tiny cell and look at you through windows.

Not like the nice ones you see in Scotland, where you get raped.

Bedlam.

people just stagnate inside many mental institutions in this country. the staff are often irritable, incompetent or generally unfriendly, and in some cases, unnecessarily forceful. patients with minor illnesses are thrown in with seriously disturbed and sometimes violent individuals, and some people shouldn't even be there. like the elderly that are slipping into senility, or those that have no home to go to and are stuck there, even though they no longer require treatment. i wish i was making this up.

they need to take a long, hard look at the whole system. a few 'fully cured' patients released every year does not make up for the people that have been in there for years and end up pushed to the side to make way for new, easier-to-treat patients. they get worse.

There is nothing waiting for any of us on the other side, only complete and total oblivion. We no longer sense anything, we can no longer experience anything. Finality.

I know I'm thanatophobic, but still, listen to me. Don't do it. There is no alternative. There is nothing waiting for us when it ends. Even if there is, wouldn't you rather give yourself as much time as you can before you HAVE to find out?

Hyperventilating, need to stop now. This topic terrifies me enough as it is. You're all so morose and angsty. Quit talkin' about death so much.

My 1 & 1/2 cents.

This may be a shitty analogy, but saying nothing is after death probably wont stop people. Think of it like a math problem, I assume a suicidal person views their life as a -5 or something, and death as 0, so it becomes an improvement.

Like care homes for the elderly as well, God if there comes a time where I have to live in an old people's home then I'll have someone in my family drive me to a suicide clinic.

Bingo.

Ill probly never be selfish enough to kill myself, but im pretty sure id do it if I didnt have anyone who cared about me. Either that, or I'd start treating the world as a sandbox game and just do crazy shit.

But what about us? ^_^

STM's right, you know I love your epic crazyness :D
