None think about having to clean up all their blood and brain matter left over. Suicide is so selfish.

I try not judge these folks too harshly, they must be in incredible pain.

And that’s the whole problem. Medical help is so expensive you need medical help after medical help.

No, they’re not in pain? Really?

Someone who doesn’t want help is not going to seek help. Your “solution” is as insane as telling a schizophrenic person to just stop listening to voices. Your understanding of mental illness is both offensive to those of us who suffer from it and just simply ignorant. Until you get a degree in psychology, maybe you shouldn’t be lecturing other people about what they should do about their mental illnesses.

Is this in your expert psychological opinion?
It’s also selfish to force people to suffer due to our personal moral scruples. Allow assisted suicide.

Not so easily as you say.
Alzheimer’s and schizophrenia are curable, are they?

"Current Alzheimer’s treatments temporarily improve symptoms of memory loss and problems with thinking and reasoning.
These Alzheimer’s treatments boost the performance of chemicals in the brain that carry information from one brain cell to another. They include cholinesterase inhibitors and the medicine memantine (Namenda). However, these treatments don’t stop the underlying decline and death of brain cells. As more cells die, Alzheimer’s disease continues to progress."

Wall Street is selfish. Taking more profit than you need is selfish.
These people were desperate. Many likely due to rampant American capitalistic selfishness forcing them to subsist on catfood so business crooks can have 2 vacation homes and 5 expensive cars instead of everyone benefitting from market prosperity.
Selfishness is America’s brand, but being driven to put a gun in your mouth and pull the trigger isn’t selfishness, it is largely a consequence of other’s selfishness. Our suicide rates are extreme in the supposedly “developed” world because selfish people demand everything and we let them do it at societal expense.
Calling people who suffer from suicidal ideation or committed suicide selfish is exactly like calling kids with down syndrome idiots.

Yikes.
Ironically your comment is incredibly selfish (you need to walk in their shoes) and based on nothing but your imagination. Some may take precautions to minimize cleanup.

thank you. its nice to hear or in this case read someone put it out so sanely and clearly. I do not get why other people feel they should tell someone else that they have to continue to exist because they know better than them.

That kind of gun-assisted suicide at least, for sure. There’s still deaths of despair that are far from selfish acts, and moreso acts of desperation.

90% of people cannot afford and environment change, not that such cures depression. Some people are less treatable, and many depression medications actually heighten suicidal feelings.

That’s what you offer. You don’t just magically cure mental illness. Nor do you just magically have money to change your situation.
It’s rare to find a lack of empathy, intelligence together with ignorance in one single comment. Well done.

Of course they refused to get help. THEY WERE SUICIDAL. Do you even understand the concept of that? If you want to die, you don’t want help. I know because I’ve been there.

Your solution to suicidal people is that they should get help. I’m explaining to you why they don’t. You’re telling them to do something they can’t do. They are not mentally able to ask for help.
And some of us, like me, are just in excruciating pain every single day.

Well done again. Your ability to come across as even more callous and ignorant than you already had is truly impressive.

And now you’ve added twisting peoples words to make yourself look better.
Have you considered a career as a landlord? Or a conservative politician? You’re a natural fit.
Helluva lot easier to say when you’re not actively in the depths of it

To be fair you’re making an assumption here that may or may not be true

this. why does anyone else have a say in if I live or die outside of me. FYI i am not looking to die but when I decide to I want to be “allowed” to. and I don’t give a fuck if someone else thinks the reason is not adequate.
As a military veteran, I give a shit. Having access to a gun seems a lot easier to those in despair than seeking help. It’s why it’s important we make access to firearms extremely difficult in the future.

So do something about it.
depression cured by drugs is not a cure and ironically often lead to more suicide since it lightens the depression enough to get the person to take action.
