I hate to ask this...

[MARYPOPPINSFREAK!!!]

is it wrong to kill yourself because you don't want to see anymore things happen to your country and you can't stand the hurt it causes you?

 

[drgnfly30]

I certainly hope you aren't referring to yourself?! If so I urge you to seek some help ASAP... if it's just a random pot stirring question.. then no, IMO its never OK to take your own life....

 

[MARYPOPPINSFREAK!!!]

well I can't stand to see this happen and it looks like its getting worse.

I remember Patriotic assemblies at school, neighboorhood 4th of July parties, all that stuff. It just takes my childhood away.

I too am hoping you are not referring to yourself....there is always HOPE...always the sunrise after the storm. Just look at all the good that is happening....unfortunately if you spend your time here lately or watching TV then you would become very depressed...



I have a wonderful article about our church and how they saved hundreds and hundreds of people ...I could send you that.

It's absolutely wrong. You need to talk to a professional and sort this out. Take some of that sadness, disappointment and hurt and use it to help those in need. There are Red Cross and Salvation Army facilities looking for volunteers. You would be depriving your country of a person (you) who can contribute. Killing ones self only contributes to more pain and heartache for others.

 

[DVC Jen]

Yes it is wrong because there are people who love you dearly and ending your own life ends your temporary sadness..but creates a lifetime of heartbreak and guilt (wondering if there was something they could have done, or something they missed or if they just did that...) for those you leave behind.

Please don't do anything rash. Please call someone!!!

 

[Zippa D Doodah]

Bottom line plea here: Please do not kill yourself. If anything over the last days we have seen just how precious life is -including yours. Please find someone to talk to about what you are feeling. Feel free to PM me if you wish.

After 9/11 it seemed like all was lost & would never be the same... it got better, life went on... bad things happen all the time but so do good things.. unfortunately, the media usually concentrates on the bad... I've seen happy things on the news today... help is started to stream in, people are getting out of there, I've seen babies reunited with parents & relatives catching up with each other in shelters & via phone... things will begin to look up before you know it... Keep your chin up & instead of feeling hopeless & helpless, do something to help out, it's an amazingly good, warm & fuzzy feeling... even if it's to donate some $

The people of New Orleans are fighting for their lives. They are doing everything they can to to survive. Life is worth fighting for.

 

[SplshMtn99]

I see you just started posting here today. I don't know if you are new or just created a new name, but PLEASE STICK AROUND!!! This board is usually not this sad. Just like the world is not always as nuts as it seems right now.

It will get better. I promise!!

 

[jajuan]

I don't AT ALL feel the need to do this, but I can understand what the OP is saying. I have 4 wonderful children and I am scared to death what they have to grow up with. I would never consider taking my life or anyone elses...but I do feel deep desparation. I can only help so much...but if we all do what we can, things will get better. Please get help if this is a serious contemplation. Prayers for everyone.

Wow!!!!

Yes, to see a tragedy like this, it does hurt!! Sometimes things hurt BAD!!

To anyone who is feeling this way... realize that you are not alone... It is Okay to 'hurt' and to feel the pain!!! We all do! Grieving is important and good. But also realize, that there is SO much love and joy!!!

Yes, this can all be overwhelming... (I agree to take a break, turn off the TV, don't read the emotional debate threads here on the DIS...) And, if anyone really is feeling too overwhelmed, then I hope and pray that they will talk to someone and come to a GOOD conclusion out of all this!!!


HUGS!!!!

suicide is, as they say, the permanant solution to temparary problems. Even if there are always going to be bad things in the world, moments come along now and then that are so wonderful, they make all of the bad times worth it.

I'm sorry, what exactly would killing yourself do? Would it help those people in need? How about your family? Would devestating them do anyone any good?
What good would it do anyone?

Those people are fighting to stay alive, I think it's very selfish to want to end your own life just because watching it is too much for you to deal with.

I think you need a doctor and a counselor, please find one. Does your area have a crisis hotline? They can help you and help you find what you need.

Counting your blessings wouldn't hurt either.

I'm very sorry if I'm being impatient.

 

[MARYPOPPINSFREAK!!!]

awww, thanks guys

 

[LoveWDW]

Call a doctor, or a telephone operator, or a hospital, and ask for the suicide hotline. If you are considering suicide, you can use some help. I pray that you will be comforted and not feel that you need to do something drastic.

Be gentle... marypoppinsfreak is only 14...

 

[Serena]

Yes, and I'm sorry. I just found that out. Marypoppinsfreak, forgive me for being so blunt. Most of the 14 yo's I know are more worried about what outfit they are going to wear, not about the crisis that is going on. I thought I was speaking to an adult.
Please forgive me.

 

[Wishing on a star]

Please give yourself the opportunity to grow into an adult....

Somebody who 'cares' as much as you could really make a difference someday!!!
