When someone contemplates suicide, they are looking for a permanent escape from a temporary situation. It does not make them selfish for this.

Their situation was more weight than they could have withstood at that time. It is also important to notice that we all have different levels of toleration for pain. That makes it more understandable, but never right.

It is not selfish to be in pain. But it's not right to end your life because of it. As much of a hypocrite I am for saying it, that's not what matters here. What matters is that you feel better soon. Talking to someone can help you get through tough times. I recently found that out. Good luck with you.
Thanks for this!
