Psychology of Suicide

@michael you remind me of Joe Dirt (in a good way) and i am enjoying the philosophy so far, going to have to see if there are more posts when i wake up tomorrow

Yeah but malice...mosy of us have the trouble finding self worth due to.society and our peers always putting us down we can see anything in ourselves because no one sees anything in those of.us..wed.rather end.the pain then going on living heart broken and empty...

Self worth is just that, Self. Worth. You need no one to tell you your worth, it is something you earn within yourself through self reflection and experiences. Waiting for appreciation from others, acceptance from others will only lead to more lonliness. Appreciate and accept who you are first then trying interacting. It is completely different. We all want to be noticed and accepted, even loved in some form but if you don't have any of that for yourself how can you give it and how can you deal? Think of this analogy... plane reaches turbulance.. masks come down... you put your mask on first PROPERLY before you put one on someone else. You are no help to anyone especially yourself without acknowledging your worth.

You are the only one that can limit yourself.

Here's something I've learned, life is only what you make of it. I have my fair share of issues, everything from financial to depression. What I think is important to realize is that no matter how hard life may seem, it can get better. But, you need to be the change. Feel like crap? There are many others in your boat. Want to make a change? Make a difference. Be that beacon of hope for another and be the strength that they need. You'd be surprised at how much giving can be a great strength on its own. Talk to people who you are close with and allow them to know you. By doing this, you allow them to gain strength and they can be a strength for you too. Have you ever talked to some one about thier issues? Youd be surprised at how much that not only will help them, but help you too. Life is an amazing gift, don't squander it.

If you find yourself continuing to feel that taking your life is your only recourse, seek help from friends, family or professionals before you do. At the very least contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (1-800-275-8255) or go to http://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org/. While you find your life to be horrible, what have you done in order to improve your life? If anything, why did that not provide the result you wanted? As for seeking the afterlife as a better way, understand that most versions of that don't look kindly on suicide as a way to a better place. Instead you would likely face suffering that would only make what you know now to be pleasant and cheerful, either through eternal punishment or purgatory, or through reincarnation as lower life forms (insects, rodents, etc).

I entertained this line of thinking between HS and College once. Fortunately there was someone in my life that made me see how bad an idea it was. Even if you have no control of whatever cards the fates deal, you always have control on how you play them. Life is a work in progress start to end. If you hate it enough to destroy it then rebuild it. Individuals I knew who tried & failed or succeeded to die all had something in common: they felt they had no control and were powerless to deal with their ills and wanted that misery to end seeing no way out. If you are a 'dead man walking' then rise up against your weaknesses and fears and confront your demons. You have nothing to lose if your life is forfeit and it is less painful than wishing or waiting to die. Like most things it starts with centering your inner self and build strength. What you do within dictates the impact of what you do outside in the world. That miserable night on the bridge I decided the only thing to die would be my misery and resolved to push forward and be reborn. As I went along and progressed I had found I was much happier than I thought I could be and things began to fall into place in a positive way. I promise there are few sweeter feelings than discovering the power to control your life.
