Overview Suicide

RSS Feeds   Text 
Suicide may be defined as the deliberate ending of one's own life in an act of self-harm. Attempted suicide is the unsuccessful suicidal act.

According to experts, suicides are mostly related to each other by the common link of emotional isolations, perceived sense of lack of attachment to anybody and a certain lack of ability to cope and adjust with the environment. Research also says that certain forms of mental disorders like depression plays a part in the 90% of the cases of suicides.













Goodbye, my friend, goodbye

My love, you are in my heart. 

It was preordained we should part 

And be reunited by and by.

Goodbye: no handshake to endure.

Let's have no sadness - furrowed brow. 

There's nothing new in dying now 

Though living is no newer. 

Written in his own blood, and given to a friend the day before he hanged himself.

-Sergei Esenin, Russian poet, d.Dec.28,1925

Please I will like to appeal to everyone that no matter are tensed or pressured and no matter how bad and hopeless the situation is, we should not take our own lives. Suicidal spirit has a mission to destroy the souls of men and send them to an everlasting place of tormrnt known as hell fire. So please do not take your life, you can always ask Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins and ask him for help and he will turn things around and you will be glad and full of life again. God bless you. I love and Jesus loves you best.

WHAT SHOULD ONE DO IF IN DEEP DESIRE TO DIE, BUT IS STILL WITH THOUGHTS OF PAIN THAT IT WILL CAUSE TO THE PARENTS DUE TO HIS DEATH?

When to me life becomes intolerable

You definately have, no one can deny that. It's your life and your choice...unfortunately it does ham the ones left behind you, but it's your life, and you live for no one else but your yourself...

The problem with suicide is that it doesn't accomplish what you want. You can kill your physical self and no longer feel pain, but not your consciousness...your soul survives....EMOTIONAL PAIN REMAINS. You see EVERYTHING and CANNOT do anything physically. It's just FRUSTRATING.

Hmmm... my husband recently took his life. He had struggled to overcome tremendous emotional pain for many years. I certainly do hope that what you say is incorrect. Though he left a mess here, I cannot be angry with him- he had an illness that at last won. I do hope that he can see everything and perhaps finally find joy in this life, if only as an observer. Such a waste. Such a waste.
