Suicide is selfish

[mel]

I know it's always tragic, is often for the most daft reasons, and people tend to be driven to it for reasons that they really could have dealt with, but this happened at the back of my house on Friday. I didn't know anything about it till I was walking the dog on Saturday and saw the makeshift shrine that had appeared at the waters edge, but it's just generated a reaction of complete horror locally, not sympathy for the woman but almost loathing of her for inflicting such pain on her children, a reaction of unbelieveable selfishness towards her. The disfunctional mentality that drives someone to this is beyond understanding for most nromal people.

Been done many times on here. If someone is truly suicidal, rational thought processes usually don't apply, so trying to explain why they take their life without reference to mental illness is futile.

I thought it was 'suicide is painless' in the song?

The ironic bit is that knowing where they came from that is actually very funny! They're all a bit wierd over there, it's just a shame that they get the bus down to bugger up the lakes near my house.

Just down the road from where I live as well. I assumed the family were from there?

I agree that it can be abit selfish. However, some people cope with different aspects in life differently from others. As an example, my Sister's friend's Dad killed himself, not that long ago. He tried to set up a new business, but failed in doing so. I believe he due the Bank's 15k. Could not handle the stress which came with it, so ended it. He left behind three kids and a wife. Such a shame.

I know it just didnt seem to tickle me!

There's a big cuddly "Tiger" amongst all the flowers laid at the scene, when the dog ran over to it I had this horrible mental image of him grabbing it and giving it a damm good labrador humping as he would most cuddly toys, I think I had a lucky escape that for once he came when called as I think I'd have been lynched by the sufferers of Diana Syndrome who were gathered at the scene.

We've had two jumpers land on our terrace at my mums holiday home in Knaresborough this year. Given the amount of tributes left behind it's hard to think that they thought it was the only way.

I've been there.

I've tried suicide once and been very close to it a number of times.

As someone said earlier all your thought processes are shot to bits, you have no ability to think rationally. If she thought of her kids it would have been that she was already failing them now and that they would be better off without her.

If you've never experienced this level of despair then you are very lucky. I am sure that she thought that she was doing the best thing for everyone, that they all would be better off without her around.

If you've been lucky enough to have never felt that worthless you start a poorly thought out thread.

My friends Dad killed himself on New Years Eve when the family were away at a house party. He left early saying he had forgotten to turn the heating off. Nobody heard from him so they assumed he'd just gone to bed. Found him hanging in the back garden the next day.

Sorry to hear that you have reached a point where you felt that you could not go on, and apologies if my earlier post was insensitive.
