'Valid' Suicide Reasons?

[thinker]

nkrukato,

I've read a lot from you about how pathetic you believe you are. Have you thought of or tried any possible solutions the implementation of which might make you feel less pathetic? Try thinking of it as if you were looking outside at another person with the same problem, what might help to solve the problem of feeling pathetic, etc.? After all, it is the *feeling* that's the problem.

As to the subject of this thread, I'll just play it safe and not say anything about it.

Sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean. Mind sending me a PM with more advice?
I know everyone will say that its my mind telling me I'm so pathetic and screwed up but the reality is that I really am. And then of course, the only option I have is to change and make my life better but its so much easier said than done.

My problem is so unique and pathetic that nobody can help me.

that's actually wrong. it's well-known from sociology that intense personal problems (especially suicide) are actually global social problems faced in the same way by many many others. the idea that your situation is so unique is just another perception constructed in your own mind (ie. it's perfectly possible to DE-construct it) remember: you're never alone in your suffering.

(New to the forum, so please forgive me if this has already been discussed :shy: )

Has anyone else ever gotten the feeling that their personal reasons for contemplating suicide were somehow invalid, or not "enough"? Ever been told that you were overreacting and to just "get over it"? If you have been in either of these situations, how did you feel about it? I've felt as though I "shouldn't" have suicidal thoughts/feelings, because there are so many people who are far worse off than me, and this just makes me feel guilty for my own emotions. Am I alone in this, or has anyone else experienced it as well? :unsure:

yeah, ive never attempted suicide or anythiny but i seriously thought about it this summer. after i thought i was being pathetic because other people are way worse off then me. it was cause i was really depressed, its stupid but i twisted my knee and was on crutches for 6 weeks at school, :inv: my mate started bullying me and all my ' friends' turned against me just cause i was disabled. they all treated me like crap and no one seemed to cared. the mate that was picking on me reckoned i faked the whole thing and tons of arguments happened and i lost my mates for a month. i got so pissed off with them because if they get hurt they are always sympathetic to each other but they all hate me. i got soo angry and upset, i cried every night and considered slitting my wrists :sad: now i think im glad its over but also realize billions of people are way way way worse off, but to me it felt like it would never end. sorry to blab on about but nobody understood - now its new school year and im walking again my friends treat me like nothing happened :huh: :huh:
so my reasons were pretty dumb and pathetic i guess :inv:
