1000 Facebook "Friends" Ignore Woman's Suicide

Are you back in school now?

 

My point is, as you describe things, so they are to you. This I understand about both you and I. There is nothing uncommon to man. The I am you call yourself is the same I am you call yourself. Our experiences are unique in form only.

Actually I am dispassionately examining the nature of our experience. How could I judge you, that would be silly.

 

yes, kinda go back the 10th

 

That'll be good. What are you studying?

 

Possibly but committing suicide is a confrontation with oneself not with someone else. A private thing for many. We don't even address assisted suicide.

 

Just the basics for a GED, language arts, math and a mix of a bunch of other things like science.
I had took the pretest and it appears I am out of practice with all subjects.

 

What I am is actually uncommon, if not "unique". As there is no person on the planet who has suffered something which nobody else on the planet has. I do kinda get what you're saying now, but for many people, their life experiences, be they positive or negative, often have an impact on their lives. Especially if the positivity/negativity is on a very extreme level. And I would stress that this is actually a very natural occurance. I think if your experiences didnt have some impact on you, then there'd be something wrong there. How those experiences impact on a person depends on many factors: The experiences themselves, the individuals' themselves, and the individuals' reaction to those experiences, ability to deal with those experiences if they were very negative, and sometimes, the person's envoirenment also plays a role.

I think to a greater or a lesser degree, we are all shaped in some way or another, by our life experiences. I dunno if I could apply that to every living person on the planet, but certainly for the vast majority of us, that is so.

Well, you were putting words in my mouth as a way of trying getting your point across. And it did seem like you were forming a false opinion of me based on what you wrongly assumed I was saying. Maybe it wasn't "judging", but it was still silly nonetheless.

 

Cool. Learning different things will keep it interesting. Are you planning on studying anything after that?

 

I thought about some different studies but just can't pinpoint what I want to do with my life.

 

i was in the room with a friend when they killed themselves

[enabled suicide]

 

So do you mean you actually helped them kill themselves, or you just happened to be in the room when they did it?

Edit: I just needed to say that the kitty in your signature is adorable!

 

Same here. For years I batted around ideas, never actually seeing any of them through. I eventually just had to pick something and go with it. It was obvious I wasn't ever going to have that, "That's it, that's what I want to do with my life," realization. I just picked something I thought I might like and am waiting to start. I can always change it later if I don't like it I suppose.

 

i helped to some degree, i provided a means

i did not stay until the end, but i never saw him again, so . . .

you help a friend even if you disagree with them

on a happier note, i'll tell keith [the cat] you think so

 

let me add that i am not in favor of suicide any more than i am in favor of murder, or abortion, or whatever

i just [try to] think that it is not any of my business how others live or end their lives

as far as my friend goes, he felt he had no other choice

and i was much more open to the idea then [15 years ago, and pretty messed up myself]

these days i'm not sure how i would handle things, but i am resigned to serving out my own time . . .

 

Sometimes thats all you can do is just pick something, thats most likely what will happen with me.

 

Im not going to judge you. As it is not my place, niether do I know all the circumstances. I am sorry you went through that though.

What I will say, is I do believe in euthanasia, and if I had a very close friend who wanted my assistance in that, then I would do it, even though I would find it very hard. I don't believe euthanasia is "assisted suicide" though, its something different in my eyes. Although I would not assist in someone's suicide, I would not condemn them if that was their wish though. Itd be kinda hypocritical for me to do so I feel. Although obviously I would try and talk them out of it, if I seriously thought they would do it.

Aww Keith is a cute name. And thanks. <3 I love cats very much, one of the only things that can bring some light to my life.

 

Still with this... okay...

You keep assuming you are the only one who has contemplated or attempted suicide, or at least that among those who are posting here..

You are not, and never have been special in this case.... Some of those that you continuously accuse of not understanding what it is like, not only DO know what it is like, but have been through it, and will be through it again...

But hey... you choose your hell...

You want to compare scars... fine lets fucking compare scars...

I was sexually molested, physcially abused (beaten half to death by adults, some of who were supposed to be the ones who cared for me (sound familiar?), emotional abused, bullied through school, lived through having a house burn down around my ears, been homeless, been in jail... while in jail I was on suicide watch most of the time, I;ve been on more meds then most people have ever heard of...

and I found a way through it all...

This was by not feeling that everyone else in the world should understand what I went through, this was by ME understanding what I had went through and dealing with it...

So... might I suggest that the next person you choose to knock off their high horse is yourself.

 

There are times when suicide is the better option, I wholeheartedly believe that. My boyfriend's uncle killed himself several years ago after injuring his back and living in excruciating pain for years with no sign of relief coming any time soon. His doctor wasn't doing much by means of pain management and when he attempted to change doctors, the first doctor wouldn't release his medical records to the new one, and while that did get taken to court, the court system is a mess and it always takes time and his quality of life just went all to hell. It took all he had just to get off the couch to get the gun, and while it hurt his family, they understood. It was just too much, I wouldn't expect anyone to live like that.

 

It is. My brother had to do the same after a couple of pretty rough years.

I find, for me personally, because I've never really been wholeheartedly passionate about any one thing, that it's better to just pick something and stick with it. Rather than do nothing. Once I'm comfortable at any job I relatively enjoy, I get into a routine and I enjoy it. I've never been one of those people who knew from a young age what they wanted to do. So I figure I'll likely just be happy doing something I get used to.

 

Finding something you can see through the depression is key to getting through it.

Unfortunately for people it is the same as driving... you hit what you look at...
