why is it that people try to kill themselves many times and never succeed all the way?

'succeed' is not the word I would use\nbut it is because it is often a 'cry for help'\nthey don't really want to die but are feeling hopeless and need somebody to notice to help them (they are not sure how else to get help)\n\nI have heard people say "that was just a cry for help", it is just nothing! somebody crying for help means they need HELP, show compassion

From one who has attempted suicide twice--your revelation is wacko.  We can't know something God doesn't want us to know.  God is omnipotent (all powerful).  You can't out think God.  And by the way most weird revelations, if they don't match up with the word of God are straight from Satan himself.  People commit suicide because they fell hopeless and helpless and Satan wants them to feel that way.  He wants you dead.

Their motto is usually 'mind over matter', the 'matter' being the ending of a person(s) life, I guess. Perhaps they have the solid mindset that the person they killed deserved to die so with this, they probably sleep better at night with that persons life snuffed out. A psychopath won't feel it perhaps. Those who are of stable minds do feel disgusted with themselves, I'm thinking.. but theres this theory where it is said that the brain automatically erases or fades away bad memories, given a lot of time. There may be a lot of psychological reasons to this but hey.. there are people who feels so disgusted with themselves that they can't bear to live with themselves and resort to suicide. Its a sad and cruel world we live in, huh?

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.

It's a form of natural selection. The strong ones survive, the weak write bad poetry and commit suicide.

why is this in politics? you want to die because you are a weak person for not taking the effort to try.

I believe many people commit suicide because they aren't able to get any, or have never had any. Such as myself. So if that counts then yes.

I don't know.  I have been to the point of suicide.  I used to say how dumb could a person be to even consider such a thing. People that haven't been there don't truly understand.  I don't know about a truly painless method;but I do know the true pain; hurt; despair; and feeling of emptiness when a person deems suicide is the only option.  I took a lot of pills thinking I would just drift off to sleep-seemed easy enough-didn't work I woke up sometime later.  I am diabetic I have stopped my insulin and ate sugar-undying stomach pain and vomiting.  I don't believe there is anything easy or painless about suicide.  Even if one was to succed with a painless method-what is waiting for us after our self affliction.  There are many different opinions on the religious viewpoint as to life after death of a person who takes their own life.  I'm sure many people disagree and most that do probably have never been suicidal;for what it's worth my personl opinion is a truly suicidal person is not responsible for their actions.  Their mentality is not of their norm;if it were than why are their actions and personality straying from happy times in life.  If you are considering suicide-talk to someone please.  For some reason I am still on this earth; I simply believe its not my time or I would be gone.  It's a struggle sometime but life is worth living.

because thats just life..it is not supposed 2 make sense..if it did make sense i dont think suicide rates would be so high..but u have to accept that ppl are going to hurt you, stop talking to you, betray you, and in the end you still ask why why why..sometimes instead of always trying to fix things all the time its best to accept that some things we just cant control..good luck

He isn't going to commit suicide.  I've heard the same thing over and over and over.  I have always heard that if someone is really going to commit suicide they aren't going to call and tell you, they are just going to do it.

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.

I think its wrong to kill your self, just because it makes you seem weak. When the only thing wrong with you is depression and you attempt to commit sucide you give up trying, but you never really tried. now for sickness: When your going to die anyway why should you deal with the pain and die slowly?

Others have succeeded only because they have failed more than you have.  The key to success is to never quit tryin.\n\nMany people experience failure BEFORE success... you just have to pick yourself up and try again.\n\nGood luck\n\nBTW: It's said that your outlook determines your life's path... if you see the world as selfish... that's how your world will be.  Try having a more positive attitude.

I think anytime anyone MENTIONS suicide, then they at least are thinking about it.  Whether they are "trying to get attention" or not is NOT the issue.  Maybe they NEED the attention.  If a person is depressed constantly, starts giving up on things, eating habits can change, starts giving things away.  Or if a person is depressed and then all of a sudden happy - that they came to the decision they won't be in pain anymore.  ALWAYS take suicide seriously. I have a friend who's son committed suicide at 16 about 12 years ago and it did her in.  She said there were no signs and that is possible.  I've been to that deep dark place myself and it's not a good place to be.  When you are "there" you CAN'T think about others because your pain went that much deeper and your brain functions differently.  That is why - when people say "they are selfish by com. suicide" -- I get angry because until you walk a mile in someone's shoes.........don't get me started.

I myself know six people who've committed suicide...all men....3 relatives, 2 high school friends and one friend from college. I think that everyone has a different method of coping and everyone's method isn't as good as others. And I also think everyone has limits to what they can handle and if people haven't learned how to cope with life's struggles, it's easy to see how they can succumb to suicide.\n\nI've forwarded the following link to friends and acquaintances many times who've said they've reached their limit. I tell them to read just page 5, if not the entire book.\n\nhttp://www.hopeline.com/docs/suicide.pdf#search='suicide%20the%20forever%20decision' \n\nIt's a PDF, so you'll need Acrobat Reader to view it.\n\nThere was a time more than a dozen years ago when I reached my limit and someone who could tell, saved me by asking me to read only page 5. I ended up reading the entire book. And I'm still here, so it must be good stuff.\n\nAnd luckily after surfing the Internet one day I found the book, now free on the Internet as a service to others.\n\n:)

NEVER !!!!!\nIt does not matter what circumstances are involved, suicide is for people who can not deal with the reality of life, and what they have done with it.\nSome of the above mentioned people are sick and delusional, some were just doing their jobs. BUT none of them HAD to do what they did, they were just to weak to stop it for various reasons.\nThey all need to learn to live with what they have done and try to somehow TRY to correct it, wether just through seeking help or by actively helping society to prevent situations they have caused.\neg - A heroin addict that has beaten an elderly person for money, stolen from people and lied and cheated to his/her family saying one day (f**k the junk I have had enough) and after going through the agony of quitting, then turning around trying to help others through the same process, speaking at schools and in public about the dangers etc etc.\nNO suicide is NEVER acceptable. Women abort lives, babys are still born, innocent children are knocked down by cars - the list goes on - then for someone to make mistakes with the life that they have and decide to commit suicide to fix them is just  a SELFISH act and cruel to the people that have tried to either help or support them no matter how bad their mistake or crimes might have been.\nCriminals could hand themselves in and people that may have cost a life through mistake could appologise for this to the families involved.\n\nTo close this topic - We are all human and sometimes go the wrong way or do the wrong thing but we should never waste the valuable thing we possess known as life. To many sick peolpe want it for others to throw it away.
