Is suicide selfish?
Yes and no. There are two reasons why a person would commit suicide: Depression and Regret/fear of facing the consequences of actions.
For the one who commits horrible crimes and they kill themselves, it's because the thought of judgment and punishment is too great so they would rather not go through it. That IS selfish.
For the one who is suffering from Depression, my heart goes out to those who never found the way! I truly believe that they did not have to die. For every time I hear a report on someone who killed themselves because of a history of depression( even if that lead them to drug or alcohol abuse), it really does sadden my day.
I always think to myself, if only I could have talked to that person. Just maybe I could have said something that would've changed their mind at that moment! If anything, at least stall so that I can give them some insight on how I have been able to survive without medication. How I have lived through the hours of pain and suffering while Death watched. How I have gotten over some of the most twisted thoughts ever and have overcome them. How I have won every match of rock-paper-scissors with Death and am so willing to share my secret to victory. If only I could have talked to them!
For those on medication, that's fine, but I know you can slowly get off them and do what I have been able to do. Now I'm not recommending that you take yourselves off them but I recommend that you make it your goal to get to that point! And for those who are facing Death right now this very moment, I beg you to write me! I will hear you, I will understand you, I will not judge you, I will be your friend!
Thought for the day:
Your life is worth living, if you leave, there will never be another one of you again...you're irreplaceable!
Truly Yours
Dr. Nobody

I am so glad you address this topic...I would hear about a suicide and the people around would say "what a selfish person, all they thought about was themselves"...I hated that All I could think about was that poor person...they had no one to reach out to. And unfortunately people say so many insensitive things like "God will never forgive them" OHHHHHH that makes me so mad!!!!Don't you think that God truly knows what that person was going through and there is a scripture that says when a person dies he is acquitted of his sins? So what right do they have saying that God would turn his back on them????
