(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I'm in a different sorta mood, call it suicidal if you must. I don't plan on doing anything, but ya know its a thought (Trolls beware, this is a serious thread).So on to the debate and why I'm starting this in the first place.Yes its the sterotypical reason; a girl. A girl I love very much and plan to marry, shit's happening between us, not going into details because its really no one's business, but my own...anyways, the real debate is, is life worth sticking to? The typical answer will be "Yes, there's this and that to look forward to," but that isn't what I'm looking for, because I know for a fact that every single person has thought about hurting themself, at least once. So if there's so much to look forward to why even have the thought? Why does our brain even put the thought of permanently shutting itself down? I got the pot stirred, someone throw the wood under, start the fire, and get the pot boiling.

I have had the same question of "What do I do that is worth living, and why keep on doing it?" All I do is play video games. I have friends from school, but none that I really hang out with after school. I honestly have more friends on playstation and know them better then real life friends (partly because I have moved a few times). Keep focusing on the good things and keep them close (e.g. cat, dog, etc.) I would not think about hurting yourself because it would hurt more people than yourself and maybe hurt them more. Life is worth living only if there is something worth living for. You live for others not yourself.


Edit: I may have miss read your post, but I hope this may still help.

Firstly, between you and your girl, find what's causing you to get mad at each other and that simple thing will be solved (Arguing)

Mainly, suicdal is the case when you lose something you really love, even though you never met that person, for instance:
A year a go, a teen committed suicide because the girl he liked didn't like him, so he jumped off a bridge, BUT, if your mother died (the best female of your life) you will feel sad and depressed for few weeks and back to normal.

Also money is a major issue, when you have low money, you feel depressed. The best thing is to find your way out of the hole by looking forward to the smallest things.

Also there are some sad people which try to put you down but just remember don't let words put you down.

Sorry for the lack of info, I on my phone.

Firstly I'll address Mo, I think you're reading this more as a cry for help, its actually not. It can be easily mistaken though. Also me feeling "suicidal" has nothing to do with losing anything. I have my mother and my girl, yeah things are rocky, but I still have them. My real question is why is our brain sick and twisted enough to come up with a story and try to believe, that it is ok to kill itself?

Now on to Jango, you have a slightly different approach, but all-in-all the same general backgrounded answer. You feel this is a cry for help and I may hurt myself. Like I told Mo, I don't plan on doing anything, just said I've thought about it. I do like the bit about living for others, thought that was rich. Did you know a study was done to test the effectivness of certain emergency trigger words, this was a police stud, so the subject of rape came up. They found out that 7 out of 10 times the groups of people responded and acting after hearing "Fire" and not when hearing the real trigger, "Rape." Now why is that? Its simple, fire implies someone else's danger, rape is someone else. Our brain naturally watches out for itself to keep it alive, but yet we still come up with a reality that makes it sound like a good plan. Why would we let others die and suffer to save ourself and at the same time have the capability to want to end what its saving?

Life means whatever meaning you give to it, no matter how little or how much. That really is it.

Life can suck bro, but things seem worse than they really are at times.. it's partly your emotions.

In all honesty, no I haven't. In your life you'll have good times and bad times, but something is always better than nothing.

Next year you probably won't even be thinking about this girl.

I have to agree with Jake. Personally I have never considered hurting myself in any way, shape, or form. Indeed times are tough and you go through shit that depresses you or pisses you off. Hell I can attest to that, I would be graduating Class of 2013 this week with many of my friends, but I had poor judgement when I was younger and decided to skip school, not do homework, and study occasionally. It got me by, but Junior year it didn't. I failed it and I was depressed because I won't be there with my friends. And on top of that I still haven't attempted to complete my Junior year, so now I have that and my Senior year to work on. It's a shame that I'll be 20 when I graduate and three months short of 21.

Moral of the story is that as depressing as something is, it's inevitable that it will get better. It's what we call life, you just have to deal with all the bullshit that it brings, and eventually you'll be out of that funk. :y:

Psychological immune system and Affective forecasting.
Human mind has changed to help us cope with challenges and overcome of each one one. Each one of us has are own coping systems. On the bright side some people are similar so you're not alone.
Couple studies show you're as a result happy with no matter what outcome.
Thought is result of you putting all the relevant information together, it not the final decision. Loads of thoughts and ideas but not all of them are carried out.

More relevant question is how did we miss that ?

Alrigh Jake, then you proved me wrong. Yes life will have it's ups and downs, I agree with you too, something is always better than nothing. Also me and my girl are engaged :p So I doubt Inll forget about her.



To begin, I'm sorry Quentin. I know it isn't my fault, but I'm the kind of person to care and say sorry. I understand there can be depressing things throughout life, but I think you and Jake are kinda like how most of everyone else is and taking this a little out of context. I'll be completely honest, my life has actually been quite good. Yes, I had some issues family wise; my dad was an abusive prick and my mom had a nervous breakdown. I have been dealing with it pretty well. I have always considered myself as a antisocial jackass, but people see me as the opposite. Apparently I'm a very easygoing, easy to talk to, social guy.

My point is, I don't want you guys getting the wrong idea about me. I really approached this subject the wrong way. I should've been more precise about what I'm trying to depict.

I don't understand how our brains can go through extreme measures to keep us alive and just as easily turn it around and make us want to die.



Rts, that's a very good question. I will be completely honest, I'm a psychology major and didn't know that, granted that I am still extremely early in my studies, but I didn't know that. You answered my questions entirely, so I'll answer your's the best I can. I missed that (I won't speak for anyone else) because I was ignorant to the knowledge entirely.
