I DON’T UNDERSTAND SUICIDE

BECAUSE IF YOU WANT TO DIE
THAT MEANS YOU DON’T CARE ABOUT ANYONE
EVEN IF SOMEONE LOVES YOU
YOU DON’T CARE ABOUT HURTING THEM
AND IF NOBODY LOVES YOU
THEN THERE’S NO ONE TO WORRY ABOUT

SO INSTEAD OF KILLING YOURSELF
WHY DON’T YOU JUST
GET THE F**K OUT?

LEAVE YOUR ROOM
LEAVE YOUR TOWN
LEAVE YOUR COUNTRY
VISIT SOMEWHERE NEW
FOLLOW YOUR OWN DIRECTION
FOLLOW YOUR GUT
FIGHT SOMEONE FOR THE SAKE OF FIGHTING
SWIM WITH A DOLPHIN
OR FIGHT WITH A SHARK

NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO
COMPARED TO THE ALTERNATIVE
YOU WOULD BE SAFE

AND MAYBE
YOU’LL SEE THE WORLD FOR HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS

  1. I disagree with this post. People that are depressed or suicidal are in a spot where they see no other alternative in their life. They feel so overwhelmed that they can not get out of what they are facing.

    It has nothing to do with not caring about others. Some of them may even feel that others do not care about them.

    It's not just as easy as getting up and leaving. Some do not have the option to do that.

  2. I agree Jason. I hope we can learn how to reach people when they see no alternatives. It is my hope we can reach out and let them know that people do care. I hope the discussion grows on how to help those who are so depressed and overwhelmed.

  3. I agree with Jason as well. People in that place can not see any alternative.

    We also need some suicide prevention tactics that aren't dependent on guilt. The depressed person usually feels guilty already (as part of depression itself). Adding the guilt of "Think of what this would do to [insert person]" does not help at all.

  4. I see this post more of a friends side who couldnt help someone and saying the things after the fact.
