If suicide is a cowards way out then does that make me an even bigger coward since I am afraid to do it?

no that does not make you a coward.  in is human nature to survive, when u think of killing yourself, it means you are going against human nature, which is the will to live.  i don't like the phrase " a cowards way out"  i think that is an outdated saying.some  people have no idea what it is like to be so  depressed, that they want to kill themselves.  if u are suffering from a clinical or organic depression that is what gives you the reason to end your life, not you, the person.  my brother was bipolar, went off his medications, and shot himself   he was not a coward, he did not kill himself, his illness killed him.  it is not healthy to entertain the idea of killing yourself.  if you have these thoughts frequently, get some professional help

you should never run away from your problems. that only makes them intensify and makes you look cowardly. the best thing to do would to confront your problems and learn to deal with them. that might not be the easy way but it's the right way. and you could learn alot this way to.

i think its both... independence and fear, but mostly fear. i have been one of those people. sometimes when u feel that ur getting really close to someone you get scared... this might sound weird but you think that it would be easier for you to hurt yourself by taking yourself away from that person then that person leaving you. it took a while for me to notice what i was doing. hang in there with the person that you are talking about, you just need to show them that you're not going anywhere and that there is nothing to be afraid of.

It is completely natural to think things like this. I am more concerned with why it bothers you so much. And if you are so afraid about acting out your thought, have you had any other thoughts that you have acted out and regretted? If so you need help from someone other than YAHOO.

Don't you dare take your life. I'm sure there are many that have time to help you. Are you willing to accept help from others is the question??

yes, having that option open doesnt keep me sane but it provides me with great comfort, comfort that no one can take away from me. suicide is fascinating and intriging, cant say it keeps me sane as i believe i mite not be as sane as i want to be, but hey its something to live for

Courage is not a lack of fear; It is overcoming a fear.\n\nAccept that you are frightened, and analyze why it is that it scares you. Think it over for a while. Is it a good reason to be scared? Keep asking yourself questions about it. You'll get over it eventually.\n\n- 16 yo Pagan

Not if you had a chance to walk away....if you were provoked and then had to defend yourself..then yes

NO WAY, Must you bid us farewell!!!  I am not sure, but I fear that you are quite depressed and wanting to commit suicide. If I am wrong, I apologize. If I am right, the world would be a sadder place without you. I beg you not to. First of all, you DO NOT have the right to take your own life. That is for GOD to decide, not you. You have no idea whose lives you have touched in a positive way and your mission is NOT complete. I beg you to seek some counselling and some medication.  AFter all, what do you have to lose by waiting. You have everything to gain by seeking help. Suicide is the chicken way out of life that can sometimes be overwhelming but things always work out in time. Please, take good care of yourself and get help so you can complete your life the way it was intended to be and not by your own hand. God Bless.

bro all the time, except I'm not spontaneous and never do. Chances are if you feel this way and if you are anything like me, you want to do this to run away from problems, if that's how you feel, the running away part is probablly not the best idea, the problems will tend to follow you where you go, your best bet is to stick it out and resolve the crap in your life, it may hurt and take time but you'll be happier for it. good luck and God bless

Nope, it doesn't make you weak it makes you strong. Life sucks sometimes but don't take the coward's way out. Live with the hand you've been dealt. Other people will be effected by a selfish decision like suicide.

Yes.  A coward is anyone who  shows disgraceful fear or timidity.  If a woman doesn't have the courage to say was she wants out of life or is so timid that she allows someone to control her, she is a coward.

I am almost 39, a wife and mother. \nI play with snakes and spiders and I dance in thunder storms. But my greatest fear will come. (I can't outlive them all.) I am afraid of living longer than the people I love. I do pray that I never have to live through the death of one of my children! Next I hope to outlive my hubby! I know this is a selfish fear, but I can't seem to help it. And besides, fear is selfish... isn't it? \nThanks for causing me to think about this.

Yes you can, but you'd probably lose.\n\nIt's against the law to commit suicide and is against the law to watch someone commiting suicide. You must help that person wether she/he likes it or not.\n\nMugsy's place what the hell does that mena?
