Fuck this post.
Fuck this stigma towards suicide.
Talk about selfishness of suicide but notice that every argument given is about those who are left behind - aside from the assumption the individual has friends/family who would miss them, what does it mean that you think a person should continue to suffer unbearable pain just so other people in their lives can carry on without any pain. Where are all these friends and family members when this person is suicidal, a person doesn't reach that point without something seriously wrong in their lives or without battling depression, so what are they going to do to keep this person with them?
Suicide is rarely a logical choice but one made out of desperation or from a mind that is sick so can't think rationally. To expect a suicidal person to not only deal with all their own problems but also expect them to take on their friends/families pain, to guilt a suicidal person into tolerating and staying silent about their pain, it's sick.
