Maybe your best friend has thought about it. Or your parents, or even yourself. I've been touched by suicides fatals flaws in a few different ways, but here is what i have to say about it. suicide is bullshit. yes, you'll hear many people say " It's the easiest way out of lifes choking grip, to escape from the hell I'm living " Well fine- that's your choice, i can't stop you. But many of you probably haven't looked at the other side of a suicide attempt. You always hope you'll have a successful suicide, but what if it failed? You actually lived? Well here's some facts you may want to know before you attempt a suicide.
- if you try to shoot yourself and live, you'll have to live with permanent disfigurement and disability.
-Overdoses on many substances will leave you with damage to kidneys and liver.
-If your brain goes without an oxygen supply for more than about three minutes, you will suffer permanent brain damage.
the pain that you tried to end never will. you just dug yourself a deeper hole.
What about if your suicide was successful?
Yes, your pain ended, but did you think of what it would be like for your loved ones?
the pain gets transfered to them, leaving them confused, hurt, and the feeling of grief. They rethink everything. The blame themselves.
-If you cut your wrists, hang yourself, or shoot yourself, you leave a hell of a mess for someone you love to find you, and to clean up.
If you are convinced that people will be better off without you, you are dead wrong.
Now think about it. Are you really willing to end the life that was purposely given to you? Talk to someone . Get help. Life will go on i promise.
You really shouldn't morn the past. You'll never get over it if you won't let it go. Everything happens for a reason, and you'll realize everything that had a negative effect on your life in the past, will only make you a stronger person for the future.
