I agree with Jo that suicide is not the answer that all the people you loved and loved you but just traumatise them. But thats IF anyone out there loves you.
I'm lucky I have alot of great friends and a truly fantastic mother who is always there for me and cares for me more than herself, so for that reason alone I could NEVER do it.
BUT- I don't think its right to make comparisons to persons less fortunate than you. That in itself is an act of selfishness. It's like saying 'my life sucks, oh, wait a minute, look at that tramp on the street, I'm glad I'm not him'.
I've never understood this attitude. You have to remember that there are people in this world who are very poor and have nothing but their family but are also very happy. Then you get A list hollywood superstars who have it all but top themselves because this depression comes from within.
To be honest I don't know what happiness is, it comes and goes like the wind, and we don't always have control over it. Some do, some don't.
But no suicide is no answer- because life is so unpredictable. You really DON'T know what is around the corner, that saying is true. There have been times when I've thought about it, but then something turns up and somehow things get better. Imagine how gutted you would be if you wanted to receive CBT but heard no news, slashed your wrists and the next day a letter comes in through the post stating a date for you to attend? And if that treatment really really helps and you may end up happier than ever before?
A good film to watch for this is 'its a wonderful life', in which a character attempts suicide and then views how great his life would have turned out and he just hung on a little longer...............
