Suicide

I've had thoughts about suicide before but I never really plan to act on them. Part of the reason being I'm not religous so I don't really know whether or not to believe in an afterlife. So I'm worried that when we die, we just cease to exist and that thought scares me alot more then anything in life can possibly bother me. So when I feel like complete shit and that my life isn't worth living, I just kinda lay there and don't do anything for awhile. I just plain don't know what to do when I get depressed because it's hard for me to enjoy a game or DVD when I feel like crap.

I've never known anyone who committed suicide, although apparently my best friend used to contemplate it alot and I just never realized he was being serious. He's one of those people you can never tell if he's serious, joking, or being sarcastic. He sounds the same no matter what unless he's flat out pissed off, then you can tell no matter how much he tries to deny it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I think you misunderstood what I ment, I ment that's part of the reason I would never actually think seriously about killing myself.

It is best to just not worry about what happens after because if there is an afterlife wouldn't that be bad because you were trying to get out of life in general? I mean, i have head of people who kill themselves out of religious reasons but if you are afraid of an afterlife it is not worth the effort to worry about it or not when contemplating suicide. In all honesty, most people don't think about what happens after suicide, they just hope it will be better than what they are living now. And most of the time most just want to get away so in turns life would be more torture.

To me i just advise against suicide, i mean, even if someone i don't know says they feel like killing themselves i can manage to persuade them to rethink about that choice. There is no point to it sometimes and people just don't like to wait things out.

It's not so much that I fear death, it's more that I overanalyze everything and make decisions on everything based on logic. To me logically if killing myself may completely end my existance, then that could not be better then just dealing with whatever bullshit has me depressed. Anyhow I don't even think about it anymore. That was a couple years ago that I went through that crap.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

EDIT: Actually that only applies if the person is feeling suicidal. I misread that.

I thought you actually had to help the person kill themself for it to be assisted suicide. Otherwise everyone that gets mad and says "Oh go jump off a cliff" is committing assisted suicide.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
