Why People Commit Suicide?

People who kill themselves see this as the only remaining solution to their problems. People differ in their ability to handle the troubles that cause such desperate feelings. Many find it difficult to recognize and solve personal problems in a calm and ordered way.

 

Twenty to twenty-five percent of people who kill themselves are intoxicated. Of course, most people who drink do not kill themselves. Alcohol by itself is not a cause of suicide. However, alcohol lowers self-control and increases impulsive behavior. Someone with a mental disorder who drinks is at increased risk of suicide.

 

They do so basically there is no other option left for them.
Some of them do it because they are just fed up of their boring and sad life.

I haven't tried and not even thinking about it as it is the deed of coward people who don't want to work for living and want easy things in their life.

 

The person who commits suicide...

... has experienced more pain than enjoyment in life for a long period of time.
... does not see a realistic chance of their life ever changing for the better.
... thinks so little of themselves that they believe people would get over their death quickly or not miss them at all.

Yes, wealthy people commit suicide too. That just means that having money didn't solve their problems.

 

Where do you fit Hitler?

 

Hitler's state of mind at the time of his death likely fit each of the three points I made.

1) Russia ruined his life by preventing him from having his way with Europe. 2) He was facing torture and execution and 3) He was taking his wife with him in death.

 

I think its mostly to do with their so upset they pass the stage of being upset and get depressed in the current time.

 

People commit suicide because they think there's no other way out of whatever problem he or she has.
There's always a way out of difficulties and problems. Don't be negative.

 

I don't actually agree with that statement entirely, because I feel that suicidal tendancies may also come as a result of having considered 'the bigger picture' and deemed that they are insignificant or they question the values behind life in general.

 

Tell that to the person contemplating suicide. They were just describing their mindset.

 

sometimes theirs not a way out of the problems though and its getting your mind to accept such a shock.

 

Chemical imbalance

 

I agree with that. And since it seems everyone is speaking from a third person's perspective let me add my views..

I've tried several times. Once aged 14, once aged 17 and once 2 months ago just before my 20th birthday. The latter attempt was by taking 3000mg of Ephedrine which is more than enough to kill a man.

Sometimes people feel helpless. Sometimes people feel they are a burden, and that the bigger picture is insignificant when you're hurting so much. Some people want to be relieved from this physical existence.

 

/\ they are some big important points made by someone who has been in that situation, i respect that, speaking out about those darkest and low point moments in your life must not be easy.......

its hard to think from that point of view unless you have been there yourself - its like saying is hard to find logic in person acting totally irrational

we are trying to look at things from a rational point of view and sometimes there is no rhyme or reason to be made from everything

but there is something we can all learn to help us better understand people in mental crisis, thanks

 

I appreciate ur ans keen4kash, I like the self analogy

thanks.

 

I think when people are in deep depression they commit suicide.

 

Nope and I never will. Life's beautiful. Some people weren't given a chance to live longer. So who am I to waste my life? There are so many to things to be done and lessons to learn while we're alive.

People commit suicide because of extreme depression, seeing no positive in life and very hopeless.

 

maybe a have many problems

 

Thanks for your reply.

To be honest, I think talking to someone whom is suicidal must one one of the hardest things, because I know for a fact that talking is one of the last things suicidal people feel like doing. In fact, I believe trying to talk a suicidal person out of it or trying to advise them of positive pointers without proper knowledge on the matter can harm them.

The only thing that would stop me from attempting suicide again would be the memory of the pain I caused to those close to me. My father crying holding me begging me not to leave him. The ambulance, the hospital, my family.. After what I saw I could never do that to them again.

If somebody I know was feeling suicidal I would tell them that the grieving they would bring upon their loved ones would cause their world to stop spinning. The consquences are severe and the suffering they feel would multiply upon their family if they were to commit suicide.
