Some of you have stated that suicide is cowardly or that it is selfish, but those adjectives are not going through your brain when you are contemplating choices on what to do with your life.

Your brain is focusing on trying to limit either the pain that you are experiencing or the pain that you believe you are inflicting on others. Are you a burden to your family and friends? if you are then what options does your brain tell you to do? It becomes a service that you are doing to help others by removing yourself from their equation. Your brain reinforces that fact that in the long term you are no longer being a burden to others, you are no longer being a failure if everything stopped right now. So in other words your brain now equates suicide as a kindness that you are doing for others that you care about. You are basically helping others by checking out and killing yourself.

The brain then starts to wrestle with the fact of how to go about doing it. You start setting up a time frame because you don't wish to hurt anyone any more. This time frame passes because you can't do it and then you start getting angry at yourself because you think you are a pussy.

This is the funny part, where people here believe that you are a pussy for not living your life and not screwing your family over or whatever, you are thinking you are a pussy for not being able to complete what your diseased brain has told you is the "right thing" to do. So now not only are you letting other people down but you are letting yourself down.

This spiral of the brain will continue until it starts affecting your job, which you can't seem to care about or complete jobs on time. Then personal life too where you are now really hurting the people that try to love you because you have locked yourself away from them and not talking to them. So now you are only getting advice from your diseased brain about what you should do and there are no other voices trying to make it clear to you.

This is how things devolve in a depressed brain thus leaving you with only one choice and then finding a way to complete that choice.

So if you suffer from depression it's ok to kill yourself because you feel like there's no other option?...
