I have this problem at work, with people seeing suicide and suicidal thoughts as selfishness so I do sympathise. Mental illness is like any other illness or injury so blaming someone for being close to death for being mentally ill is as helpful and as compassionate as blaming a person with cancer for having a near scrape with death.
While I agree, I do think it is important for those considering suicide to realize their death would hurt more than just themselves. I mean if were to kill myself right now(and I am not considering do so) can you imagine what it would do to my mother?
It is amusing to outsiders how Americans abuse the term rest in the context of bodily functions. Sorry to hear you relatives lost their jobs in that way. Currently that wouldn’t be legal in this country but post Brexit who knows what workers rights we will lose.
Maybe I missed something, but I don’t he told us why his father and uncle lost their jobs.
While I am glad that you have the capacity to see how killing yourself would upset people who know and care about you people who complete suicide are either so ill that they cannot or in so much pain that the perceived escape from pain outweighs such considerations. Either way the person is a victim of illness and not to be blamed. If you find yourself with a suicidal person the last thing you should do is to blame them. Try and convince them to stay and seek help for the sake of a potentially happier future them by all means. It’s hopefully what everyone here would at least try.
