Posts with suicidal themes

[Onyx]

To me, the reality of it is that suicide is the ultimate act of selfishness.

I do think it is very important to let those feelings out and it often can help knowing others have felt that same way. Seeing that others have felt that way too and found a way through to the other side is valuable. To me the worst thing is to not allow expression or minimize someone's feelings by saying things like "don't talk like that" or "cheer up". I have a gutfull of West Michigan's cheerleader/jock/conservative/disney freaks telling me to smile - ugh! Makes me want to turn homicidal rather than suicidal.

Some of my favorite art, lyrics and literary work has dealt with looking into the void, moth-to-the-flame suicidal mopey black moods. I once heard a lecture from an artist who theorized that the creative force turned inward would destroy an artist not allowed to create in whatever way their moods dictate. Of course, now and then there is the occasional drama queen (or king), but they are easy to spot.

Besides, what's a goth board without a suicide poem or two? *wink*

Talking about it and writing about it is one thing, carrying it out is another. I would be lost if I didn't write doom and end of the world stuff. =)

We see a terminal illness like cancer being an acceptable reason to do it then why would a mental illness diagnosed or not not be an aceptable reason. Often the illness of the mind no matter how great or small can be more terminal then those of a physical nature.

So many who are mentally ill (especially depression) may have survived with treatment though. Sometimes it isn't even treatment they need, just a chance of scenery (like me - my depression magically lifts when I'm in Chicago or Detroit). *sigh*

The really sad thing is, I can think of several people who might have made it through had those around them only known.

There are also many ways to commit slow suicide - not treating a serious medical problem, chain-smoking till your lungs bleed, drinking yourself into liver failure. Untreated depression can be fatal in many ways.

Personally, I wouldn't make any public suicide threats on here or anywhere else.....if for some reason I wanted to kill myself, which i don't, I would do it and there would be nothing anyone could do about it......I doubt very many people would give a shit if I did off myself.

I've always had to deal with my own problems and take care of my self, I have no outlet and hardly anyone i can talk to with any problems I may have. If I get depressed there is no one I can talk to, I have no choice but to bring myself out of it by shear force of will. I suppose I could take the easy way and take meds, but where is the fun in that? I know I'm not crazy.....yet I also feel like Im alone in this world of billions of people.....kinda makes me sad sometimes to think that even though this planet is infested with humanity, I still have hardly anyone to talk to.

I doubt I'll be posting much on DGN after this one, nothing personal with anyone on here but for some reason I've lost interest posting and reading posts on this board.

I love you Daevion.

You speak truth here, often just a change can make a diffrence, often it is just knowing some one cares even if you dont know them IRL. Thats why I would rather here a million "wolves" veruses seeing them as whinny and looking for attention.

WHAT???!!!! ... you can't. You just can't. I won't let you. I can be pretty damn persuasive. I will annoy you till you cave.

Each person who belongs to DGN is such a huge part of DGN as a whole. Without you ... DGN would be ... different.

thats is soo true, every time i see a memeber leave for what ever reason, i see a change in the atmosphere/dynamics around here, it may not be huge but it does change a bit.

I'll still see you at CC.....I just won't be posting on the board as much I used to.

Lilith, if you see me at CC don't hesitate to hit me up for a chat....and the same goes for everyone else on dgn......I don't bite...much. =)

After sitting back and reading responses, the main thing people seem to agree on is that this is people's way of just letting off steam, whether or not they're truly suicidal or not.

That I can see. It makes a lot of sense, and that's a good tool for just letting things go safely.

But I still feel helpless when I see these posts. I feel so lame just saying, "I hope things get better for you" or "I'm sorry". And then, sometimes I say it over and over and over and over for people and I start to REALLY feel like I'm not doing a damned bit of good period.

That said, Daevion, please don't go too far. =)

:devil Another example that can throw up a red flag is when someone talks alot about whitch kind of grave stone they want when they die. I found this out over 12 years ago when one of my friends friend blew himself up with a pipe bomb.

Critter just be honest, caring and truthful to what is in your heart. It is not allways neccisary to say the perfect thing or give a well thought out post that inspires as you usually do, some time just a wish of good tiding is all that is needed. When it is important for your words to be best they ever have it will flow freely from your finger tips. Trust that about your self.

[Saephyr]

Yeah man. I have to vent on here. It helps to get all the cyber huggins I can get honestly.

Some of you really make the "ugly" go away for me.

OTHERS bring it on.... :pirate

[Homicidalheathen]

I just wanted to say thanks to all of you who chat with me when I am down. That is all.
