It will get better.
KingOfTheKey
This makes a choice into a prison of others creation.
tornik
To some it feels like taking it *back*. The one act of control that they have in their life, or over their life.
PardusXY
Feck you, the only thing in this life I can truly lay claim to is my own life.
djgrom
Again it is ridiculously selfish of our society to not allow someone to end their life because it causes them pain. It is not your life.
FogOfWar122
UMmmmm... nope. I own my life. I own my body. And I am under no obligation to suffer for the sake of other people.
Chack321
this is not how you help suicidal people. they already feel guilty enough. this just makes it worse. there are real guides out there.GOOGLE!
Tuurr
It doesn't help at all... Tell suicidal people how important they are and do not remind them of their responsibilities to others.
catapulter
that's really horrible reasoning. it will only make people who were emotionally manipulated by relatives feel worse off.
MachineInterface
Ah yes, let's shame the suicidal people, that'll help.
youareagreatguybut
While this "It will get better" mantra surely applies to angsty teens, it's complete & annoying BS for a lot of other people. It just won't.
TheBrokenBox17
Wise words from Benjermic Kimbernatch.
idiotn00b
I believe people have a right to self-determination, and I don't think pretending they don't have that right is helpful in any way.
CandidGamera
Um, do me a favor and never show that to me (or people like me) when I'm suicidal, because fuck you my life is my own.
idontpatronizebunnyrabbits
Crazy. Genuinely planning to kill myself last night and see this. I wish it changed my mind.
DesperateOwl
Neat. Love u tho. Tell me how it goes love
TsubakiTragic
No one is telling me how and when I can leave this existence.
ReaLifeSmeagol
This only applies if there is someone that gives a fuck if you die. Some of us don't. And fuck you, I'll die if I want to.
Goodwithblahs
The amount of pain it would cause others is the reason I'm still here... And I can't help to feel like love is a burden. Like, I have to (1)
Goodwithblahs
Go through all this shit because you can't deal with me being gone? If I want to go... Why can't I just? PS: not gonna suicide guys...
haisinshell123
My life is mine and no one else's.
tojeeee
While I think every single being should think twice about suicide, I also think this is the wrong way to persuade them 1/2
tojeeee
Invalidating their feelings is the last thing they need. 2/2
tojeeee
Correction, I don't think its the -wrong- way to persuade, you need to make them think about their worth to others, I'd use other words tho
zanaria
People do not have the luxury of asking to be born, but they do have the right to decide if they want to live.
irritabletom
I once heard it described as living in a burning building. You keep moving floors as the fire spreads but eventually you run out of room.
JLJWinner
Eh, I just live in constant emotional pain and genuinely want it all to end.
Wankathon
"it will get better" never applies to chronic illness. It doesn't it just gets worse if anything. It's difficult
zamielvanweber
It can get better, I speak from experience, but it is not magic and I could not have done it alone and I live knowing that my work (1)
zamielvanweber
could be swept away by one critically bad move. Today was actually far worse than I am letting the few people I talk to realize. (2)
zykelator
Good show, wrong idea. My life is completely my own and its up to me to decide what i do with it.
Thatgifisgold
Damn right. I lost my sister back in 2013. I need to give myself one day a year (the day she died) to just be angry at her for leaving. 1/2
Thatgifisgold
With that said, every other day is spent remembering the times we had and trying to live the best life I can for her sake.
Ithronyar
Here's a little realism: It doesn't always get better. Even if it does, it will eventually get worse.
Chack321
this is my experience. it got better. now it's worse.
Fahargo
If you are at a point where you are about to kill yourself you are literally at the worst point if your life. You can't go lower. The 1/2
Flyndaran
So wrong. Things can ALWAYS get worse. Things can ALWAYS get better. You have no clue what the superlatives truly are.
Fahargo
Things happening to you can get worse yes. But that critical moment when you decide to kill yourself is the worst it will ever be.
Ithronyar
I've been there. It didn't get any better. I weighed my options and realized life isn't worth it. Now I'm just waiting to see what happens.

Obligatory: National Suicide Prevention Hotline 1 800-273-8255
cowbellrx
You know the only thing these guys are there for is to just ask if your ok and if your not they ask that you call 911. No negotiating 1>
cowbellrx
skills at all. The last time I called they couldnt tell me crap. They just told me to please call local mental health places or 911.
CptRobotNinja
Thank you
Jupsu
This place is not national

This can't be repeated enough.

LoquaciousDude
What nation tho?
gaidinbdj
Also obligatory: A crisis hotline is first aid to save your life. It's no substitute for long-term care under a mental health professional.
gaidinbdj
i.e. if you find yourself calling a crisis hotline, you should be looking for a psychiatrist soon afterwards.
quattroformaggix4
Agree. So many stop short.
gaidinbdj
Ironically, crisis hotlines are temporary solutions to permanent problems.
quattroformaggix4
True. Still I've used them and I'm bloody pleased they existed and someone answered. But it should really being a starting point.
bookwormfromspain
In which country?
HulluSteve
The US, I guess. Not much help for the rest of us. We gonna die.
ElynaerDeiros
A handy guide to finding your countries hotline: Google "how to tie a noose"
ElynaerDeiros
No but are while this works get help.
Draken04
Is there an internet or Online Chat style substitute? I’m not American
PleaseDontTellAnyone
These guys suck. I sat in their online chat for 3 hrs waiting to be connected. Not exactly helping
IonlycommentTroyandAbedgifs
try every option. call chat text just get through...

ButtsandBewbs
I mean, if my life isn't mine, then whose? It's mine, and if I feel like ending it then I sure can.
schlafmade
Why haha?
ButtsandBewbs
"Haha" because that sentence is a fucking joke, and I take serious offense with anyone who thinks it's right.
CandidGamera
Maybe because when some feels so powerless to change things for the better that they are considering suicide, telling them the last thing ->
CandidGamera
<-they feel they still have control over isn't theirs to control is pretty much the antithesis of helpful?
Treblaine
That may seem like the stupidest line of dialogue ever, but Steven Moffat has like a top 100 of even worse things.
just4thelolz
It's not a stupid line. Like everything else it needs the context of the scene which doesn't give it as an absolute truth. It's in character
CandidGamera
Then maybe OP shouldn't post it contextless when ostensibly trying to help people who are on the verge of self-obliteration?
Treblaine
Nah, Sherlock is shit. Even the fans agree.
ColonelCouch
I don't. I enjoy it for what it is. Best not to make claims like that.
Treblaine
Did you miss how the fans said they thought there must be a secret 4th good episode to explain why the show was "deliberately bad".
zamielvanweber
As a person who survived suicide: fuck you @op. Suicidal depression has no magical solution and if someone showed me this when if I'm (1)
zamielvanweber
ever that close again I would jump because of how much utter BS that line is. (2)
TheDogIsLooking
It is helping me. It isn't meant to work for everyone. I hope you don't ever attempt it again.
ButtsandBewbs
I mean, it basically asks you to think about the people you love before you do it, but the way it's worded is incredibly insulting.
zamielvanweber
Saying that to a suicidal person without setting them off is hard. This is, generally, a good way not to do it.
ButtsandBewbs
This post tells people to think of their lives as not theirs, but as a collective posession of people around them, which is a (1/2)

There are plenty of people with no one to miss them. I know

I miss a cousin that only met once, Imagine the people that has met others more than that time.

You say that, but some people just don't know how to show it. Message me. We can become friends. :)

captainken
You would be surprised by who actually cares, who knows more about you and thinks about you than you ever imagined.
quattroformaggix4
And yet, when the chips are down, motherfuckers ain't. Caring is a full time deal in my opinion. Not when their is personal grief to be had.
WyrdJamie
Yeah, but people aren't psychic. If you hide the pain too well for me to see it, I'm the bad friend who didn't reach out. I've lost touch 1/
WyrdJamie
so many friends at different times in life because I couldn't be the only one making an effort; my life matters, too. Some people are 2/
WyrdJamie
shitty, & some of us will be the best friend we can if you do your part to talk, make plans, & not just wait for some to do it for you. 3/3

I know this is a serious post but hey... i didnt ask to be born

Used to say this but gotta repay life with living, can't repay it while dead.

Technically, as a spermoid, you wanted it the most, and you got it.

No its not the first its a matter of luck

Not entirely. Sperm will fight. True story. Check book "Sperm Wars".
chronoivan
My life was not handed to me. I have EARNED it.
Mexicatstail
the real problem is that i find very few people that actually intended me to be born
kalas1973
It's like tee ball. I got signed up against my will, and everyone expects me to keep going even though I suck at it.

Well...I mean...you're not wrong, but I think 99.999999% of babies are in the same group as you.
Youropinionisirrelevant
I'm gonna respectfully disagree with you and say 100% of babies don't ask to be put here. Just some have a better existence than others

ImJustTheDJ
Killing yourself is still passing your pain onto the people closest to you. no one is doing anyone any favors.
minkuschild
I cant kill myself because YOU will miss me. Fuck my pain. YOUR pain is more important. Now whos selfish? (Circumstances apply, yes)
flapperfemmefatale
I absolutely agree. I hate people who try to make a person's suicide about themselves, rather than the person who was in pain.
CptRobotNinja
Its just to get you to stop and think. Beyond that fuck I dont know but lets talk and help eachother before the final solution
BendyDicksCumOnMyBaps
Yeah but death is boring, I made a pact to myself if I ever tried killing myself I would simply take off and travel the world.. if I still
BendyDicksCumOnMyBaps
Felt like killing myself after a 2 year trip, I would do it, but I know I wouldn't if I went travelling.
quattroformaggix4
I feel your pain buddy. Well, not literally yours, but my own chronic variety. Try a pain management treatment clinic. It saved my life. And
quattroformaggix4
frequent counselling & self care. But I fully support your stance. It's your life. Do what you will with it. Something fucked up that pushed
quattroformaggix4
me past suicidal depression was hedonistic pursuits. And in the interim, I sought help. Glad I did. DM if you wanna chat. Kind thoughts
perpetuallylove
Its a valid argument that ppl who suicide believe they are doing themselves a service but it still can be a permanent choice to a temp probm
Zyrixion
The problem is not always temporary. That is important to remember.

My Dad had a horrible upbringing, and a miserable life. I truly think he was suffering so much that it would have been cruel to expect him

to keep on living just so *I* didn't have to be sad.
laiskamato
Those who commit suicide because of pain will be missed and mourned. Those who self-medicate are loathed.
Jastaxor
Yup. No one gives a shit about addicts until they die.

Isn't that always the case? Pro-lifers fight for babies, but don't give a damn once they're born.

Exactly, always wondered what the adoption rate is among prolifers

Actually you're talking to a Stage IV warrior and a survivor of my dads suicide. So you're telling me that ending your pain by going away 1

Is better than seeing a care provider who might help? My daughter needs me so Im f**ing fighting through horrendous pain. My dad didn't.2

So I totally get his priorities. And he left me to suffer poverty and abuse. But my horrendous physical pain is my choice. I see past it. 3
