    I find that curiosity helps cull the more morose thoughts..the idea of wanting to take things one day at a time and see what happens rather than just pull the plug now. Even if you aren't excited about it, or it takes effort to just wake up every morning, having that inkling of curiosity seems to help keep things in perspective. Obviously some drugs help but Im not for abusing any substance.

    Not something I wanna get into much, but it's very sad to me. Obviously it really sucks for that person's family and friends as well but anyone who gets to that point has some serious issues and has likely been doing their best to hold on for a while. Plus mental health care in the US is really poor.

    I was in pretty f----- up states before, I'm really heartless too but I still would never do it to my parents. To me its a coward way out, Its selfish when you have people that care about you. I can't imagine being a parent and having to go to your own kids funeral.

    When you think about it, it is kinda selfish b/c people will always say "Well, your life could be worse" but it doesn't change the fact that depression and/or mental illness can be very severe if you're not able to control it. No one should even have to think about ending their life because life is a beautiful thing and everyone should have the opportunity to live well and healthy. But not everyone has the same luck and if you go through some traumatizing experiences and feel sad all the time it can really f--- with your brain. Unless you've been in that situation where you were depressed yourself or had a friend that committed suicide, I don't think anyone can truly understand.

    It's obviously not that simple if they're actually wiling to go through with it. I mean if it actually leads to that, there is something incredibly wrong with the way your brain is functioning. Just strongly wanting to do it indicates that as well of course though. I agree it's no reason to k--- yourself but that's a black and white way of thinking imo... and it's easy to think in that way in a normal/sane state of mind.

    Mixed thoughts, I could go on and on about my views on it

    But at the end of the day, it's still the saddest thing ever and nobody should be put in a state where they consider it.
