*Big Trigger Warning* What is your opinion on suicide? What are the pros and cons?
I know suicide is taboo to talk about on 7cups, but I still think it would be useful to discuss it. Suicide is taboo to talk about almost anywhere, since I never found someone who I can talk with about it. So let's talk about it here, totally anonymously. What could be better?
Since I deal with a few mental issues, besides depression, I sometimes think that I could get rid of everything once and for all. So, I wanted to see what you, members and listeners, think of suicide.
*Is it worth even considering as an option?
*Are the people you leave behind more important than your own mental state, and the fact that you are tired of everything?
*Is suicide an issue of inner conflict or is it more about the things that happen to us from the outside world?
*If you are lonely, if you are different, if you aren't accepted by others, does that mean that you should attempt suicide?
*What are the pros and cons of suicide?
*Any other thoughts on suicide?

I recently posted a thread about an experience I recently had, I've had numerous attempts and none have worked, a few days ago I walked to a train track and the close I got to the edge, everything in me grew heavy, even my legs and I take this as a sign to wait.
I believe that once you try to commit suicide, it can only go up from there, suicide is rock bottom, it keeps me going to think that it really can't get worse x
The Con's outweigh the pros.
The big pro is not feeling it anymore. You can go on without the pain.
The Cons are great, though. For one, you will put someone else in the same place you are now. You take away the chance to get better, and you end the possibility of helping others as well as yourself. The biggest of these is that you put someone else in this state of depression, and I know that no person with depression would ever want to have another person suffer this.

Once I thought suicide is only running away. Today I think that yes, it IS running away, but running away from pain you just don't want to feel anymore. And only thought about that is such a relief that it hurts. Is it so bad to want to run away from all that? I don't think so.
Still, someone said once, that suicide does NOT end the pain. It just passes it on others. And feeling what I feel, I would not be able to do that to my family.
So? There's nothing bad about feeling down. Even about considering this. But by successful attempt you just end everything, leaving only suffering. It can't be better if you don't at least try.
I want to hope that there is something better. I want to believe that it's still not the end of everything.
I've been in a lot of situations where I wanted to commit suicide so, I would say I understand how it feels to want to... It's a difficult time my friends in the hospital from trying to commit suicide and as a friend whose been in the same place i tried to make him feel better and not do it. So, to me there's a lot of cons of suicide to name a few there's hurting the ones you love and that love you, things may get better, missing the chance of meeting someone special, having a beautiful child in the future, and the fact death may be worse than life.
I wish I had the courage to do it, is my opinion.
@Jpmk same here.
