I understand what your point is, but I also think that when a person is going through ideas of suicide, the person's judgment is not at its best at all.  It may seem like a solution to problems at that moment, but when a person goes into that mindframe, it is good for another person to help take over and not let something bad happen.\nA friend of mine killed herself by hanging herself. She must have felt there was no way she could deal with her life or be happy. I would not want my friends to live that way, but I also think that dark moods will pass and there will come other things and chances in life to bring more happiness. My friend will never know what those things could have been. I don't know if I'd call her "selfish" for killing herself. But I don't think she chose the best way to handle her grief.

You may have some depression.  Right now, just think about all of the things that are not making you want to commit suicide.  Look around the room, is your computer making you want to commit suicide, is the window making you want to commit suicide?  Doing this is a good way to refocus your attention to something more positive or at least neutral.\n\nAlso, think to yourself about positive statements that you can say to yourself in place of your suicidal thoughts.  Think about what you could say in your mind that would feel true to you.  Make a list and look at it when you're feeling suicidal.  If you feel like you need immediate help, call a suicide hotline.  Look up suicide hotline on google or in your phone book and you should find people who will give you immediate help.\n\nIn the longer term, I'd recommend that you seek treatment for your depression and/or suicidal thoughts.  A psychiatrist and a therapist can be very valuable.

Is there someone in your family you can talk to about how you're feeling? A close friend? If not, there are hot lines you can call where they have experts available to help you, and help you find solutions to your problems. When people talk about killing themselves, it's usually a cry for help. You need to seek out that help (you've already taken the first step.) There are experts with a lot of experience that can honestly help you deal with whatever pressures, difficulties, or depression is causing you to feel this way. A lot of people have felt exactly the same way you are feeling, and have gotten through it. You're definitely not alone, and happiness is not something that is unattainable, even though it may seem that way now. I wish I could offer you better advice. I certainly know how you feel.

No, I don't think its selfish, because at that time in the persons life they felt like they had no one to talk to. Which  9 times out of 10 there was at least 1 or 2 people they could of talked to but for some reason felt they couldn't open up. \n\nNow for people that have had someone commit suicide in their life, I can see why they think it would be selfish, because they are left "holding the bag" with all the emotions and feelings of a loved one committing suicide.

One theory I have read, that I agree with, is that the suicidal thoughts were there before, as a normal part of the symptomology of depression...when a medication is started, energy levels get higher and thoughts get clearer, so a person who was so severely depressed before might actually get the mental clarity and energy to carry out a suicide attempt on their way up to a therapeutic level.  It's not exactly the drug that causes the suicidal thoughts or behaviors.  But the body has to slowly build up a level, and there is for some people a dangerous level between "so depressed I can't move even to kill myself" and "now I feel like I can live a normal life".

Dude, I spent many nights pondering the outcome of suicide! I grew up very poor, and often thought it couldn't be any worse. Fat kid, Stupid kid, whatever all the other kids said was mean and thoughtless. Later I found that none of those stupid things meant squat. In my life I have touched other lives, even saved a few. That made all that suffering worth the pain. \n\nIt gets better. I finally found out I had some depression issues. Got some great little happy pills fron the Doc that make life easier. But it comes down to this, Pain and depression and suffering are all part of growing up and they turn into strength and experience. That strength grows each time you suffer. \n\nYou can use that later in life to help other people.\n\nMaybe you should talk to someone about treatment for depression. It's diferent for everyone. Suicide is not the answer.

Sometimes, when people make the serious decision to commit suicide, they actually start to feel better. They believe the pain is going to stop, that there will be an end, so the depression resolves.  That is why some people get so surprised when someone dies by suicide when they were doing so well.

I can understand that, but I hope it's just a passing thought. It really does always get better eventually & you wonder why you had that thought...until the next time.\n\nI think suicide is very selfish, though. The person who commits suicide doesn't think about the people they are leaving behind who sit around and go crazy blaming themselves for your selfish act.\n\nI had a male friend who committed suicide several years ago because his exgirlfriend didn't show up at a place he told her to meet him. The poor girl showed up about five minutes too late. I guess he thought she wasn't going to come. Now SHE is the one who has to blame herself forever and be scarred by that incident even though she responded to his call.\n\nAnyway, like I said, for you, I hope it's just a passing thought like I think everyone gets once in a while. If not seek help - not necessarily from a shrink - but a friend, family member - heck, even a pet. Write in a journal - there are many great ways to give yourself therapy without spending any money. Oh, and yes, I do think it is the ultimate sin - the ultimate selfish act.\n\nGood luck - I hope you find some cool ways to cope with life's injustices - you're not alone.

God Damn, What the hell is with all this Suicide Talk? If you are serious you are being a little B!TCH! You want sympathy from people online so you can feel better for awhile, Screw that. In the end you are going to have to face reality and step in front of people whenever you go out. So what, you're not as popular as you thought you were, Life isn't fair but killing yourself is Selfish and you gotta know you have family that would be hurt if you killed yourself.  People are going to hate you or like you, you have to accept that. Stop modeling your life after Paris Hilton!

I think the saying means that people would much rather be with happy people than unhappy people.  Still, there is such a thing as sympathy, thank God!  When my best friend, roommate, ex-husband, lover of over 20 years committed suicide this past December, I found I did not have to cry alone.  My friends rallied around me, and I will always be grateful.

Lots and lots of signs.\n\nGiving away beloved possessions. Seems to indicate that the person doesn't need those things anymore, or won't for long.\n\nA deep depression followed by a carefree euphoric attitude...if there is something dark enough for a person to consider killing themselves, then they act like nothing is wrong, it may mean they have a plan and they believe they have solved the problem, now they just need to implement it.\n\nTalking about death, saying they want to die, talking about dead relatives and wanting to see them again, researching methods to die, a sudden interest in afterlife or other religious ideas.\n\nAbandoning goals. An ambitious student that stops studying. A hard worker that no shows his job. A good parent who neglects their children. Losing sight of long term things...again, the rationale is that these things don't matter anymore.\n\nOR the opposite. Seeming desperate to finalize details about things. Or lining up a scenario for after the fact. A note, a will, cleaning up the scene beforehand, arranging belongings, a shrine of some sort. \n\nAny sudden change in behavior can make you wonder. If a person goes dark after being mostly happy, if they go quiet after being mostly chatty, if they seem opposite of the way they used to be.\n\nIf you think a person is suicidal you have nothing to lose by coming RIGHT OUT and asking them if they are, and if they have a plan, and when/where/how. The more concrete answers they give you, the more serious they are and the more important it is that they get some help. \n \nYou can start by talking to your friend's loved ones. Other friends, family, their minister, their teachers, their boss, whomever you think may have some influence on the person. You can actually do an intervention of sorts. Gather all these people together and let the person know how much support they have.\n\nYou can also contact the local crisis hotline, or the hospital or any local mental health facility, you can talk to police or a lawyer to see what avenues you have as far as getting TO the person if they have secluded themselves, or having their rights temporarily suspended so you can get them help.\n\nSome facts. Most suicide attempts are not really trying to kill themselves, it is a cry for help. \n\nMost women who try to kill themselves choose more passive ways, this is a generalization and not always true. Overdose is very common, gassing. The most violent ways are cutting. As such, women live through a LOT more suicide attempts than men.\n\nMen tend to choose more violent ways. Shooting, hanging, jumping. These are quicker, more definite message that the person intends to die. Messier, and less reversible.

No, suicidal urges do not make you psychotic.  Psychosis occurs when people lose the ability to distinguish what is real and what isn't and are usually a grave danger to themselves or others.  Psychotic people are dangerous.  They can hallucinate and have delusions.  But, being suicidal is a warning sign and you should seek professional help from a mental health professional to be evaluated.  They may refer you to a psychiatrist who may be able to prescribe a medication that will help with your suicidal ideation.

First let me just say Suicide is never the answer... No matter what the question is.  When people come close, or actually commit suicide, they are at what they think is the emotional low point of their lives.  Their thinking is so clouded by depression, and despair, that they fail to see the actual truth... No matter how low a person feels, somebody out there cares about that person.  I know at one time, I had considered ending my own life, For reasons still unknown to me, I did not do it, I got professional help.  That therapy showed me that no matter how low you may get, there is always something to live for.  \n\nI am terribly sorry you lost a friend to suicide.  Even though you may hold a bit of anger with him for ending his own life, and effecting so many others in a bad way, try to forgive him.  True what he did could be considered a selfish move, But, when it comes right down to it, his decision to end his own life was not made with a clear head.  All you can do is pray for him, and hope he has gone on to a better place.  Also, you can pay attention to how your friends react to this event... If any of them show signs of deep depression, or suicidal thoughts, be sure to let somebody know about it, and try to suggest they seek help. We would not want this terrible event to ever happen again.\n\nYou will be in my prayers... God Bless!

Even if someone were to perform a self-sacrifice for someone else, with the exception of suicide, you could look at it as selfish, as it would still reap benefits for the sacrificer: that good feeling you get from helping other people.\n\nOther than self-sacrificial acts, there is always some benefit, even if whatever is being done is being done for the benefit of someone else. Say for instance, I took you out for ice cream. It would make you feel good, but I would get some ice cream also, so it COULD be considered selfish.\n\nI suppose not.
