My take on suicide help, If you can't take the punches life gives you, just go down on your own, don't take other people down when you decide to go down in flames.
I'm not cruel with my comments, i just believe that if you can't handle the world of hard knocks, what can you handle?

I agree.  I've been through a LOT in my life, but the thought of suicide has never entered my mind.

"If you can't take the punches life gives you..."

Some people have medical conditions that affect their minds to such a degree that it makes them suicidal regardless of what events are going on in their life.

Being suicidal is hard for a lot of people to understand. Unless you've been there, it's easy to write suicidal people off as being weak, or mentally ill. Thank goodness my parents never thought me weak when I was suicidal. I've tried to explain to my mom what it's like, and I still don't she completely understands. Sometimes people get to point where they can't see any way out of life's problems. It's not necessarily that the person wants to die. It's more that they want to end their pain, and their ability to cope with their pain is low. I've likened it unto being in a black box, with no light, no hope, no end to the darkness.

This 9 to 5 thing is pure crap. During the day, a person is usually busy. It's the loneliness of night when it's easy to give in to those suicidal thoughts.
