Maybe you found this article because you are experiencing profound feelings of distress. Maybe it has gone beyond what you feel that you can endure. But you did find these words and that tells me you are looking for something. Maybe I can help provide a little reflection or pose some thoughts about suicide you hadn't considered.

It is not my place to judge you. From here I do not even know you. But if you are feeling so bad as to want to finish your life, what is clear is that you feel life is too much and that you can no longer cope. That does not make you bad or crazy. It makes you a person who is distressed and in need of understanding.

I do not consider it my business to tell you what is right or wrong. What I do feel I can offer is some insight I have gained from my experience of working with people who have felt suicidal or even attempted it.

Suicide is the most serious act you can carry out. It is forever. You cannot change it.

You can always change your life.

Have you really considered what suicide means? You may not actually want to die. You may be wanting something else, something different to what you are now experiencing and just think suicide will give you that. Many people seek suicide as way of gaining relief from something. They want to feel better. And the thinking stops there. Suicide will not grant you relief. Suicide will not make you 'feel better'. You will be dead. You will not feel the relief. You will not feel better.
