To think it's actually a lie when argue that suicide is always a selfish act, that others get hurt by it?

Firstly, MNHQ as you always comment on these threads - this isn't somebody making a post about being suicidal. I'm not. Dunno why not because I probably should be and maybe I will be later this week but right now...no.

I'm sick of all the stuff out there saying how if somebody commits suicide, there will be people devastated. That it's always selfish. Often people who are suicidal say they don't want to be a burden, is that not actually a reasonable argument?

I think a lot of people out there, with friends and family, can't seem to understand there are others out there who literally don't have good relationships. So it doesn't affect anyone else.

Hi all,

Many thanks for the many reports we have had about this thread.

@ChristmasFuckOff

Firstly, MNHQ as you always comment on these threads - this isn't somebody making a post about being suicidal. I'm not. Dunno why not because I probably should be and maybe I will be later this week but right now...no.

We're sorry to hear this OP. We do post on threads about suicide as we know that potentially thousands of folks will read threads and only a small fraction will post on them and some will arrive at this thread having typed "suicide' into Google so we need to make sure we signpost to help where possible and when brought to our attention.

OP we do think that it would be best to seek real life help and support on this one, even a visit to your GP to say what you have posted here is a good start. We will post some numbers and links below for anyone who may need them.

Please contact the Samaritans, by emailing [email protected] or calling 116 123. You can also see the resources in our Mental Health webguide here.

Very best wishes from all at MNHQ.
