People wonder why anyone ever wants to take their own life, yet the general public has practically ZERO understanding of what causes someone to want to end their life.

There are VERY SICK people out there, who can't function "normally" like others. They are confused, distraught, and feel hopeless. MOST people that have a mental illness, don't even know it. I think that more often than not, people who are on anti-depressants and other medication don't even need it.....most of the ones who gleefully pump themselves full of medication are just attention whores or pussies who medicate themselves because they refuse to ever deal with a single problem in their life. The people that REALLY need the help, either don't realize it until it's too late or don't have the means to get the help. You think about someone with severe depression or bi-polar disorder who has problems functioning in society, and they probably have a harder time getting or keeping a job than stable people do, and are probably less likely to have medical coverage.

I don't know why things are like this, but usually the dumbest people have the loudest mouths. Those that have no understanding whatsoever about this subject, are the first to start insulting the ones who make these decisions. It's one thing for some attention whore to go around making a big fuss about what they're going to do to theirself if they don't get what they want (like their girlfriend back, or whatever). It's another thing when someone has ACTUALLY gotten to the point that they are ready to end their life. It's at this moment they need the most assistance, but we'd rather tell them how selfish and stupid they are, and try to make them feel even worse by treating them as if God will reject everything they've done in their lives over this one act and sentence them to eternal damnation.

You wanna know why people commit suicide? Because PEOPLE LIKE THE ONES IN THIS THREAD are the majority in society.
