Exactly, well said.
If people say suicide is selfish, then so too is the other extreme - going to a therapist and taking medication to get help.
Both are a form of relief from the dread. Wanting to end the dread is the real need, the real relief. Suicide is but one way of doing that, but it doesn't have to be the only way. That I will agree. I could've did it too, but something in my mind said to me, there must be another way.
