[QUOTE="Annie, post: 3092239, member: 42224"] I was gonna let it go but given aviator's post I feel like I should explain something to you guys who think suicide is a selfish action. I have never been a suicidal person. I was the person who always figured tomorrow would be better, whether than was actually the case or not. Like you I'm an eternal optimist. Several years I had a bad reaction to some medication the doctor put me on. One of the side effects was suicidal ideation. I spent the better part of several weeks researching how to kill myself because I was absolutely completely convinced that everyone I cared about would be better off if I was gone. Thankfully, the old man picked up on me being "off" and after I stopped taking the medication I was back to my old self. But let me stress I was completely convinced those I loved would be so much better off if they didn't have the burden of having me around. Everyone I have ever spoken to who has also felt like ending their life said the same thing -- that they felt they would be doing those they cared most about a favor and their family and friends would be better if they were gone. And at the time it made perfect sense to me. My heart absolutely breaks for anyone who has ever felt that way -- or who has lost a loved one to suicide. It's not something you can make sense of. Because at the time, for the person contemplating it, it seems like the most logical thing in the world. [/QUOTE]
