What do you think of a peron committing suicide over a broken heart??
Posted: 10/29/2009 8:23:21 PM
I used to often feel pretty depressed cause I was single, and never felt like I was gonna find "the one". Its been that way for years with others telling me I will meet her.

But I've changed, I don't get depressed about it, I really don't care all that much. I see what women have done to a lot of the men in their 40s or so and I do NOT want to be in those terrible situations that most men are going to be in like it or not.

No stupid brawd is worth killing yourself over. Maybe if she lied and cheated on you and gave you hiv and hepatitis then a murder suicide might be understandable, but in no way should someone kill themselves cause some **** made them feel like shit. Its not worth it. Theres better things in life, more rewording, more stable, and more possible, than a relationship with the opposite sex.

Personally, I would not kill myself over a broken heart or for any reason. In response to want to travel - I would really like to know if there were actual statistics. Everyone at some point in life has been broken hearted. Yes, it is painful, but in time that pain goes away. There is always something else better out there - plenty of fish in the sea.

Suicide is a very big step to take. I will probably get shot down for saying this, but its my opinion and no one else has to agree....

I actually admire people who commit suicide. It takes a hell of a lot to come to that decision. And even more so for actually following through on it. They have obviously been through so much and experienced so much pain in their lives that they have had their quota of it and want a way out. Its too much pain for them to handle and more than they could cope with. I do believe that they have exhausted every avenue of help possible, otherwise they wouldnt take such a drastic step.
Society thinks its morally wrong...but then society are always quick to judge and never fully understand the emotional pain they have had to endure.

I think that taking your own life is ok if you are in the torture of a terminal illness.

And I do understand the depths of depression that can make death seem like a
blessing. I think if I had to endure that for years at a time I would probably
kill myself. Some people have such severe unrelenting depression that it
is actually understandable that they commit suicide. Don't judge it unless
you have lived it. It is hell and I have only experienced that depth of it
after a love ends and then for a short time only but I cannot imagine how
terrible it must be for those who have it for years, at that level, and it never
lets up.

Suicide is stupid, but I'm for it...done by others. People who really want to/try to kill themselves, and fail/are prevented, usually end up murdering others later. Ted Bundy is a classic example. Most serial killers tried to off themselves before kiling others. I'd rather you off yourself than someone else. Still it is stupid. Death does not end things. In this universe, nothing is created, or destroyed. All just changes form, or location, or both form and location. A tree becomes sawdust, or termite feces, but every proton, neutron, electron, etc, of that tree remains in existance when the tree is chopped/burned down, etc. Life/intelligence can not be exceptions to the laws of thermodynamics, so you will continue to exist after killing yourself. You will just be more miserable in someplace worse. Have at it if you are feeling stupid. I have died, and been revived, twice and recall what it was like. It is NOT a cessation of being. Existance,and awareness, continue after the change we call death. You won't like the afterlife if you get there too soon, and by your own hand.

Suicide is definitely not the way you want to meet God.

Over the course of my life, I have known several people who ended their own lives -- including one blood relative. The painful aftermath is excruciating for those left behind.

Better to sell everything you have and go on a wild journey to some exotic foreign land and find yourself in the process. Zest and verve for living can be regained. Figure out what makes you happy, and seize it.

You should not depend on another person for your sole happiness.You should have your own friends and life apart from the relationship. If not, perhaps you need some counseling on how to respect yourself and enjoy your life. Suicide is defiitely NOT an option. It is entirely too hard on the family. I know. I had several beloved family members to do this. DONT EVEN CONSIDER IT!!

I read this thread a few days ago after doing a search on "suicide".

I woke up this morning with a very strong feeling to post in here; even though I didn't realize the thread had been bumped and new posts had been made.

My view is that it would be a tragedy to commit suicide over a broken heart! Broken hearts mend to love and find happiness again!


FireFlyAtDusk, this is, in my opinion, one of the best responses to this thread.

Suicide is absolutely horrendous. It most definitely IS a tragedy (regardless of the reason).



Have I ever wanted to commit suicide over a broken heart?
Yes, I have most certainly have.

My broken heart was due to my husband's death 4 years ago. And, it was more than a broken heart; it was a complete, total and thorough shattering of everything about me.

His own death was a suicide.

The only way I got through that first year after his death without, in turn, taking my own life was to pray to God to strengthen me, to heal me and to comfort me. And He most certainly did!



National Survivors of Suicide Day will be held this year on November 21st (it changes yearly; always in November). This event is hosted by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

You can read more about it here:
http://www.AFSP.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.viewPage&page_ID=FEE7D778-CF08-CB44-DA1285B6BBCF366E

From AFSP's website:

On Saturday, November 21, 2009, simultaneous conferences for survivors of suicide loss will take place throughout the U.S. and internationally. This unique network of healing conferences helps survivors connect with others who have survived the tragedy of suicide loss, and express and understand the powerful emotions they experience.



Another important page to consider reading is "Surviving Suicide Loss":

I meant to do this in my previous post:

My sincere condolences to anyone who has ever lost someone to suicide; regardless whether or not that person was a "love interest", a family member, a friend or someone else they knew.

Suicide is the result when the level/duration of pain is able to overwhelm the ability to cope.
We all have a breaking point, every one of us. I don't give a rodent's rectum how tough a person thinks they are, they too, have a point at which they will give up the fight.

I haven't read every post, but I did read most of them. If I'm repeating something, it probably needs repeating.
I've been too close to my own limit several times, even recently. When the drugs and family and friends and therapist and books/internet have all had their influences, it still comes down to how much pain and how long the suffering has been accumulating. It's so easy to sit back and cough up the bravado-laced opinions, but unless you've been there...

I lost my 33 year-old son to suicide less than two years ago, soon after I moved in with him in another state. I won't even attempt to convey what it did to me, and how many others were effected/affected by it. I don't know that I've really dealt with it in my own mind, yet. Maybe I never will.

Says the person who lists herself as not religious....does that mean you condone or condemn it?

I think the important thing for anyone reading this thread looking for advice to know is that this is absolutely the wrong place to look for advice. Please seek professional help.

Personally, I think more people have contemplated suicide than anyone really realizes. Everyone that has fought the urge, has found the strength for any of a number of reasons, that in itself will hopefully give anyone considering suicide the courage to fight for themselves. There are more reasons to live, than there are to end it all. Trust me.

Again.....please seek professional help if you're reading this looking for advice/guidance on the subject.

I work in ERs and I had to work a case of a young person who committed suicide with a gun over a lost love, it was the hardest case of my career so far. According to studies by the NIH : Social conditions alone do not explain a suicide. People who appear to become suicidal in response to a lost love or in response to a physical illness, generally have significant underlying mental problems, though they may be well-hidden. Depression or mood swings are warning signs.

My best friend growing up killed him self but after all the crap he went trough to get to that point i can't say i blame him. It takes a lot to push a person so far that they're able to ignore their self preservation instincts and actually go trough with it. If a person don't want to live and has the courage to go out on his/her own terms then more power to them.

We have an indoor target shooting range nearby and it has become
the place where people go to commit suicide.


What we are talking about is severe depression, a mental illness.
No one who commits suicide is mentally stable unless they are doing
it because they have a terminal illness and are in pain all the time.

It is a very beautiful thing when people kill themselves in the name of love. Romeo and Juliet did it, so why shouldn't other fools?
