I probably wouldn't be alive if my family and friends weren't here.

The only reason I hadn't killed myself in the past was because I knew the damage it would do to people who care about me. But that's a pretty typical reason for not finding ways to end it.

I hate being an edgy, nihilistic prick, but sometimes I'm just like "What's the fucking point?"

Just do it m8. Friends go quicker than the seasons and your family is gonna die anyway. Plus, who knows. There may be some spooky stuff on the otherside.

"Oh hey guys, Welcome to Britain!"

That image funny to you? You find humor in that situation?

The image itself isn't funny. Though when put into the context of this is what Britain will become it becomes a "joke". This joke is used in tangent with what many would call "dark humor". Now some people can find said jokes funny, some cannot. It's really up to personality.

Hopefully you can use this knowledge to help heighten your social interactions.

Hopefully you or your family members find themselves in that situation so you can see how just how hilarious it is.

Probably not gonna happen. I don't live in Britbongistan and the God Emperor shall soon bring peace across the lands.

Deci, I thought we talked about this...

LOL. Too lazy to even do junior level high school work. You'll make it far in college. It's actually a decent book. But I guess kids just hate to read these days, or even attempt to.

Lord of the Flies had terrible writing in my opinion. Dialogue between characters was a chore to read through.

"Wah, I don't agree with you, so you should leave."

more like, "Wow, you can't even treat this subject--this fucking subject--with a modicum of respect. You should be thrown out."

Once again, just because my view differs from you doesn't mean you have to take offense. I am treating this as a serious subject, from my point of view. Just because our view on suicide clash, doesn't mean an opinion is worthless or is being disrespectful to the subject.

That's like saying because I don't support abortion, I have no respect for women's rights  and shouldn't partake in discussion.

You act like edgy teenagers on this board. Just because someone differs and opinion, doesn't mean it's a "troll" or is disrespecting the subject. You are acting completely idiotic if take it that way.

there are no safe, humane, painless, foolproof, and guaranteed methods of committing it.

So? It's suicide. If you somehow fail at it, that's your wrong doing. Of course it will be painful. You're dying.

Buy a gun. Put a bullet through your temple. If you miss align the gun and become a vegetable, then you should've taken your suicide more seriously.

And for your edit, then it should be legalized. How are people pushing to murder unborn children but still get squirmy about suicide?

Telling people to kill themselves obviously isn't the point of this thread, and no, it's not helping. Just leave, you're contributing nothing here.

What's so bad about killing yourself?

You're not contributing much of anything either. Just arguing with me because you disagree with my advice. What's the point of having an open discussion about helping people if you throw away advice you don't agree with? That seems counter-intuitive.

All I'm saying is, if you want to kill yourself, but are asking people for help, then you obviously don't want to kill yourself. You're just saying you want to to grab attention. Not saying grabbing attention is a bad thing, if you need help you need help.  But if you want to kill yourself and really wanna do it, then do it.

Others are talking about helping each other, but the topic of the thread does not directly state that is all that should be talked about.

Depression and Anxiety Self Help Thread

Talking about suicide is helping. Just because you don't agree with me doesn't mean it isn't.

Life always has inherent value, and living a good life is better than cutting it short for fear you'll never achieve it.

To you. Not to everyone. Quit projecting.

And besides, the point of this thread isn't really for discussing the pros and cons of suicide, it's pretty explicitly to help people with depression deal with that and get better. Go make another thread if you want to talk about something else.

No, this is a discussion about Depression and Anxiety, as stated by the OP. I am talking about the suicide part of Depression and Anxiety. Others are talking about helping each other, but the topic of the thread does not directly state that is all that should be talked about.

Again, quit projecting.

Ew.

If you're so sad and feel like killing yourself, then kill yourself. It doesn't "get better", you just find different ways to cope with the situation. If you feel like you can't go on, then kill yourself. You're just torturing yourself in the end for other people's pleasure.

Unless you have religious beliefs, there aren't any downsides to it. Maybe you'll have family that misses you, but family dies eventually. You could be hit by a car tomorrow and they'd have to get over it. No different than if you killed yourself. It's not like your life even matters in the grand scheme of things. Outside close family and possibly friends, who would really care? Family wouldn't even care after a certain number of years. Everyone will move on.

Plus who knows, maybe there is something after death? None of us really know for sure. It'd be an exploration of the unknown. The only reason why people fight against it is because death is unknown. People fear it because of that. If we knew for certainty that you'd live on a cotton-candy island after death, people wouldn't be so adamant about stopping you from killing yourself. It's selfish on their part.

Just don't make your problems other people's. If you want to get better, that's fine, but don't seek attention for it. If you're on the fence of killing yourself, go for it. What do you have to lose anyway? Or don't. It's your body and your life. No one can tell you what is right for you in this situation.

I'm not going to remove this. However you probably need help, or at least a psyche evaluation. This post makes you sound like a sociopath. Suicide is not the answer, and yes they need to seek attention in order to get help, because it does get better. You just have to work through it.

It's not the answer to you, but it is for a lot of people. Suicide is only deemed as bad because humans have no knowledge of what happens after death to your conscious. Like I said, if we knew what there was, we wouldn't be so against it. It's like peering over a bottomless pit. You don't know what's down there, but if you somehow knew you'd be able to land safely at the bottom, you might jump.

Why should you make someone who can't stand living continue living? That's a bit cruel. Instead you want to change their mind to the way you think. Now do some people who want to kill themselves have other mental issues to be figured out? Sure, but that's not always the case.

As for myself, I'm fine. I enjoy life, and want to continue living. Though I also realize, not everyone is like me. There are some people that just can't take the pressures of life and would rather end it. So why stop them? Would you rather we put them in a mental hospital for the rest of their life (one that they do not want to live), feeding off the government teet? That seems a bit redundant if you ask me.

And a sociopath? I don't lack a conscience. I just believe that it's someone's body, so they have the right to choose what to do with it.

One could make the same argument for being pro-abortion. Are those who support it sociopaths for having the woman's life above the fetus's?

Very thought provoking response. Why don't you actually contribute to a conversation for once instead of shitposting?
