It does not need to be justified, it's just an action, like eating an apple.

Suicide is like marriage. Do it, or don't do it. You may or may not regret it.

The question is rather, is it more rational to live or to die? And then when you chase that question down to its roots, you'll find that fundamentally reason isn't what lies there. For anyone alive.

Every Cradle is a Grave by Sarah Perry is pro-suicide, and argues for making easy means of suicide accessible to all who want it.

Before writing the book the author attempted suicide three times but had somebody intervene to save her each time. Following the third attempt to wrote this 200 page book on why it’s unethical to stop people from trying to kill them selves.

Being alive is pretty cool. Even if you don't like the world you live in you can still be happy. Whether that is by finding something to take your mind of the pain, finding a women, or dying in a shootout with a smile on your face.

But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovered country from whose bourn
No traveler returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of

Pic related brought me (temporarily) out of a deep and chronic suicidal depression. Not even memeing. I would say to you anon that suicide is justified only after you have exhausted every other avenue. I'm sure you've tried various pills and so on, but have you fallen repeatedly into the k-hole while lying on your bed wearing an eye-mask listening to Gregorian chanting. No, I don't think you have. Best of luck friend.

Sorry for not responding sooner. What do you mean by "get a hold of"? As in, purchase or find out about?

1. 2arms1head: http://www.2arms1head.com/

2. Suicide: bought a copy several years ago, have only read about 50% admittedly

3. I read about it in the reading thread on wizchan. The (anonymous) author of the How To Be Alone Forever trilogy mentions that site in the first book. It doesn't encourage suicide, it only suggests reasons why it would be favourable were you to find yourself at an old age, alone in the world and facing potential long-term health problems etc.

drug talk aside, mate, i'm a midwitted drug user and don't have much to offer in terms of consolement to your dilemma; i do hope you find solace in some users advice or through a discovery of your own.
i also sincerely hope you do not end your life and hope you find something to bring you comfort and along with a drive to continue living though i do understand how hard life can treat some people along with how unbearable it can be.
nonetheless, my best wishes and prayers go out to you.

The character Kirillov in Dostoevsky's Demons is obsessed with this question. The tl;dr of his philosophy is that killing yourself is the ultimate way to seize control of your destiny and essentially elevates you above god. Dudes a loon though, dont kill yourself anon.

Inifnite Jest justifies suicide by the very innovative means of being so terrible that any reader eventually comes to feel that death would be preferable to continuing to read. The insight is thus implanted viscerally and experientially rather than syllogistically.

To be fair, even if i see where you're coming from the question of "how to live" is a deeply complicated one.
"How to kill yourself" is not, because the answer is obvious and the only thing preventing someone from doing it is cowardice.
