I've spent far too much too contemplating suicide during various points in my life, though these days my depression is quite under control. I do understand that pain.
I also suspect that princess is a drama-addict and doesn't actually want to die. |

Yeah whats up with this eternal damnation thing?
Suicide earn you eternal damnation?
If thats the case you saviour is eternally damned as he committed suicide by getting caught and nailed to the cross. Could have run away and hid but knowing full well that he had been betrayed and his sentence was death he gave himself up......if thats not suicide then I dont know what is  |
Never thought of it that way.....thanks for the brain stimulation...... |

Long thread. Let me add a word. I attempted suicide years ago, while drugged and messed up. I thenafter spent two months in a psychiatric ward. I still struggle with depression. It is not fun. People who reply unkindly have not a clue, the burden carried within.
If you really have no idea, refrain your ignorant replies. |
And did you go to a public internationally popular website and post all your problems constantly?
I know that depression can be very different for different people, but I have been to the bottom before and the last thing I did was go round telling everyone about it.... especially strangers who did nothing but ridicule me. |

For me, the problem here is not where, how or whether somebody who's contemplating (or has contemplated) suicide discusses their feelings about that. It's that while posters like Jaj and Kermo are completely and immediately credible, the OP hasn't said or posted enough here or on other threads to warrant the same consideration. How come? Were I in control of this messageboard, this thread would be locked until I saw SOME justification for taking the OP seriously about a subject that demands seriousness. |

I agree. However, my point is that the OP isnt taking the subject seriously (and given previous posts, it is difficult to take the OP seriously). To have been throwing the subject around so lightly knowing fully well that they would get a reaction - just like all other posts the OP has made about their relationship problems.
Same story different day. |

Of course! I have bragging rights, don't I? I always brag to people about how close I have been there. Being suicidal make me cool and a legend in my own mind. |

Hi Toad, how is life these days?
True my friend, jaj is not nor has ever been the keeper of sanity.
Public forum? Who cares? Approx 5 people know me, and upon them I can slap my hat. The rest?
Bugger off.
I like you though, Toad.
Arshole you are, but a decent one for all that. |

Princess...
Heres my thoughts, as I've been through a similar, if not far worse situation...
I come from an ethnically Italian (keyword: racist) family that would like nothing more for me to settle down and marry an Italian. My family, not publically, has little regard for minorities... but not in any overt way, they simply consider Italians to be the end all be all in the ethnic gene pool (and, well, shit its hard to argue).
Anyway, I meet and fall in love with a Sikh.. and for those of you who don't know, they're an indigenous people of northern India. If you like Korean families are bad with accepting westerners, shit, you have no idea. Korean culture is a walk in the park.
Now, her people never, never even came close to liking me, well most anyway. I dealt with all sorts of bullshit that I won't even get into, and all for love. But none of that matters.
What does matter is this... my family, prior to my professed love, would have had no problem calling her people dot heads (even though Sikhs dont have dots)... My Grandpa, the head of the family, never, ever, would have been caught dead saying he approved of such an arrangement...
But I brought her around and introduced her, I said I loved her. He saw it in my eyes, and you know something? He never said one word against it, he was never anything but a saint to her.. but he didn't do it because he wanted to, or even because he had some kind of racial epiphany... he did out of respect for me. He knew, now as he did then, that if he even dreamed of going against my love, that I would never speak to him again. I don't mean to drum things up, but if theres one true thing to be said about Italian people it is that we never forget. My family accepted her because their relationship with me was too important to jeopardize over an outsider, and they knew I would have gone against all of them if they had made any other choice.
I wish I could say the same for her, and her family. Sadly it wasn't the case. Lots happened and lots didn't happen, I'm here and she is there, and such is life... but if there is one thing I learned over the course of those 5 years... it is this:
Mother **beep** anyone who doesn't accept you for who you are, and *beep* anyone who says they love you and lets the small mindedness of their family get in the way. They aren't worth it, and that isn't love. |

So I came across this thread...
I read the first page and skipped all the way to the last. Since I've seen her post again I'll asume she is not indeed dead. I'm sure pages 2-12 were really great drama.
Some people joking, some people pointing out mental flaws that need adressing, some people talking about their own much worse problems... blah blah blah...
My comment:
Hook up with that guy with the shitty hagawon that went to labor. He could use someone to lift his spirits. And if you don't mind, get him to change his avatar. |

Suicide is cowardly.
Life's short as it is?
What you can't wait a few years till something kills you? |

| Don't you ever even think about it. Your life is the most precious thing you have. It is far more important than any relationship. Life goes on, remember that. God bless. |
