Wow, Chaoticsmphony, you have a very harsh and one note view of suicide. Sorry, but that's not what Nicoleb is posting about. There are many many reasons for a person to discuss, consider, think about and angst about suicide! It is not for any of us to tell or lecture to another person about their reason for considering that avenue of exit from the pain and despair she might be considering! That is the responsiblity of their therapist. I'm not saying that we can't talk about how we "PERSONALLY" view the decision of someone we care about or love who might have or have in the past considered this method of exiting the pain of life. But none of us have any concept or ability to know what Nicole is experiencing right now. We need to be supportive and guide her to gaining the support she needs.

Talking about selfishness and "when you want to die do it", is NOT compassionate or empathetic. Take a step back from your keyboard and re group. I get it that Nicole is triggering something in you, but your posts are not helpful or supportive and that's what this board is about!

Nicole, please seek out a crisis hot line or contact your therapist. Most of us here on this board, myself included, know what it is like to believe that suicide is the answer. It isn't. It hurts and wounds the ones who surround us and love us (even when we can't see or hear it) and it wounds us. There is a part inside of you that doesnt' want to do this ... how do I know? Because you're here and you're talking and posting to all of us. Reach out and connect!
