suicide ( in general )
Not all people I encountered understand, why would you in the first place want to kill yourself. Like why? Normal people won't. It was just ridiculous. You're just too weak. Everybody is suffering ( probably much worse than you, and yet they are still struggling to live ) So the limit of advice they would say are probably "hang on. it will get better soon" But what do you, really thought about it?

When a person is depressed, they tend to forget all the good things about themselves and only focus on their negatives, and so I tried to get her mind off th...... reply
In my opinion only weak people kill themselves because it's much harder to live. We all suffer at some point, no one is happy all the time but we fight, try hard, survive and get on with our life without giving up or running away (suicide). In country where I'm from, Croatia, suicide happens but it's not common. But in country where I live at the m...... 4 reply
