Lets Talk about Suicide

With the recent passing of Robin Williams I want to know how you guys feel about suicide. For me I don't really understand it, and whenever somebody decides to cop out of life leaving their loved ones behind I can't help but to lose a little bit of respect for that person. I've known three people that I had interactions with to create suicide with only one of them that really hurt me and had a major impact on how I grew up. So I want to know your guys thoughts. Do you condemn suicide? Do you think it's reasonable for someone to decide when he'll leave this Earth? Or do you think it's only ok in extreme situations?

  • A lot of people seem to misunderstand what Depression actually is. It's not feeling crappy for a bit and then killing yourself to stop it because you don't care how anyone else feels. Depression is a mental illness. It's like having a hood put over your head and the only thing you can see is a wall in front of you. Sometimes if you move, the hood tightens and you can see even less. Maybe there is a door to get out of the room, maybe there isn't. The more you move, the more you believe that you're locked in the room. There's people in the room telling you to just take it off, but you can't because it's been drilled into your skull. When someone takes their own life to escape depression, they do think about everyone else. That's what keeps them going for another day, or another week, or another month until it gets too much. Until you've felt the nails in your skull and seen everything going dark; you can't condemn people that have because you honestly have no clue what it's like.
