Re: Does it take courage to commit suicide? - Yes, but still a cowardly act I guess.
Code: 
  But it takes greater courage not to do it, live life and face the problems.

im sorry but i cant stand this self righteous tripe. how come people call all suicides cowardly?? have you ever really sufffered? do you know what its like to be in agony every waking hour of your life? do you know what its like when only sleep gives you relief?
no?
then stop judging. only God knows when a person sins. yes suicide is a mortal sin, but certainly dont blame some people for deciding to do it.

If you want to sleep, then sleep. Death is not sleep.

Clearly – based on this statement alone – you’ve never been where some of us have. Telling someone who is severely clinically depressed, “if you want to sleep, then sleep,” is like telling a hemophiliac who’s just been shot, “if you want to quit bleeding, just stop bleeding.”

Suicide is not the answer to this. Death is not a restful state, or without pain. She says she feels better when she sleeps - and that somehow this means death will be better? No.

Sleep is good. Death by suicide would be pain upon pain upon pain, the like of which even the worst of what she’s had up to now would be preferable.

why are you even asking that?

Suicide is the cowards way out. and may consider it the unforgivable sin because there is no way to ask for forgiveness and repent for it.

If you are having suicidal thoughts you need to impudently seek help through a pastor a counceler your family or someone.

I am speaking as person who tried it once, and i will never try it again. I am proud that while i am not perfect i have made it as far as i have and i will not give up without a fight.

Suicide is the cowards way out. there is always a better way out without taking your own life there is always hope, there is always someone you can turn to . there is always options

expecallly in this day and age whereas you may feel you have no one around you in person the internet you can connect with people from all around the world so that through voice, skype or whatever you never have to be alone.

reach out.

get connected

find someone else who is in worse off shape then you and be an encouragement to them.

do not give up hope!
 
I think you are focusing on the wrong idea.

I’ve attempted suicide twice. My girlfriend dumped me because she “found someone else”. I thought i was ok about it, then BAM! I couldnt get out of bed, lost interest in life, lost trust in everybody and hated myself. Things spiralled out of control fast.

I was a normal guy, and my heart was broken. I dont know how to describe it…my mind wasnt my own. It was SO dark it was unbelievable. To be honest i didnt know what i was doing…its like i wasnt in control of myself…i was a mere spectator crying from the inside who was watching a tragic story unfold.

It all came up on me without me realising. I didnt notice i’d stopped reading the bible or praying, i didnt notice i backed away from my friends, i didnt notice i developed a masturbation addiction. I honestly had no idea! I spent my days dreading the nights where i would torture myself.

Your question should be, “how can we help people who are suicidal? Or how can we spot people who are heading that way?”

Believe me, these people arent nutters, theyre ordinary good people!! Satin throws a veil over them and blocks out the light of Christ…and torturers them…again…and again. It’s unbareable!! Satin’s victims dont think right because theyre in too much pain. and what makes it even harder is that you could walk past 100 people and nobody can see just how wounded you are!!

It’s not down to us whether the person was courageous or not. They need our help and prayers SO badly that we dont have time to stop and think about it.

Oh Jesus, in your mercy, please bring a few depressed and suicidal souls back to the light. Help us to convey your love to them and let them know that we care and will help them through this MOST difficult time of their live, as we know that it may be our turn to face that same trial tomorrow. Please bless the souls of all those who ended their lives in darkness. May their first experience of the afterlife outshine the darkness of their last moments. Finally, please bless the families of people who are depressed or have taken their lives and please bless all councillors.
