I was thinking about this earlier today. How in high school, whenever I'd get depressed, I'd say to myself, "Well, hold on until college. College is something everyone should experience."

Now that I'm almost done University, I think, "Well, hold on until you're finished, you've got a job, and you've got a home."

Only today did I wonder whether I'd really be satisfied when I had those things, or if real courage comes from knowing that this "list" of stuff to hang on for is bullshit, and that you just make the best with what you got.

Not really related, but hey. It's not like you've got a reading list keeping you alive.

Completely agree. There are people who were forced to become soldiers as children. These children were told to rape and murder their own people in gruesome, horrible ways. They have every right to feel suicidal.

Yet the ones who survived live on, despite terrible nightmares, despite unspeakable grief, despite their memories.

Depends on your priorities. Personally, I am scared shitless of death, to the point that I would willingly live in massive debilitating pain, for as long as I am still capable of comprehending my situation.

Holy shit the number of platitudes is amazing! Look at all the accomplished people that killed themselves. Hemingway killed himself, yukio mishima killed himself, tchaikovsky may have, van gogh killed himself. I can't believe you guys have read liturature and spit out such trite and meaningless responses to OP. Dostoevsky felt that suicide was a logical conclusion for intelligent nihilists that never found god. To OP I say that it takes strength and perseverance to make your life better. You must not "accept yourself for who you are" but make yourself better. If you dont like something about yourself, do something. Its your life, and you should fight tooth and nail for it. You are still young. If no one cares about you, be honest with yourself. Is it really true that no one cares about you? And if it is, why is it? Its a hard truth, but you need to put in the work and fix that shit. Life is hard, and suicide is not the solution of those with physical ailments, it is the solution of those with a broken heart and a broken spirit. Live your life with strength and dignity. If you cant do that, by all means kill yourself as you will allow someone else to use those resources. Im not telling you to kill yourself, I am telling you to get your shit together. The only way out of this is willpower, lying to yourself, or suicide.

Look we are just trying to stop someone from making a mistake. Great men may have commited suicide, but that is the least of their greatness. In fact, it is a tragedy.

From personal experience with severe depression, don't do it. Also, don't ask for help either. Just work through it on your own. I honestly wish I never went to the hospital for help with my depression. Work through it as hard as you can, you'll be a better person in the end.
