Yes, because you're not think about how it's going to affect the people around you. Your friends and family have to live with your death. That just put them in pain.

i think its selfish and stupid, if you just talk about your problems you can probably sort things out, if not time will fix it for you right? and if you kill yourself, you give all your pain on to all your relatives, well if that aint selfish i dont know what it is than

I know it's been a while since you posted this, but if you are still with your boyfriend and want to help him it sounds like he might have Bipolar Disorder (Manic Depression) or possibly mood swings, if his moods keep changing so suddenly and drastically. I'd definitely suggest he talk to a therapist or doctor. If he's in high school or university, the school/uni counsellor could be a big help to him, especially if he's talking about suicide. It's never something to dismiss or ignore (not saying that's what you're doing, but people often do). Maybe you could also suggest going with him to counselling to encourage him and to show your support? I hope it works out. Things like this are pretty hard to handle, both for him and yourself. Take care.

Well, i know what it feels like to be suicidal and want to end my life so many times, all of the time. I think that in a way it is selfish because when i was going through that, i really didn't care what anyone else thought or felt. All i wanted then was to just end it all then and there. I even told all of my friends who were really concerned for me that i couldn't care less at the time how they felt, all i wanted was to be gone forever. But i don't think i can blame myself or other suicidal people because we do go through rough times and it does feel worse than hell and the pain is just too overwhelming and it feels like you just can't take another second of it. At least that's how i felt . . . i'm not exactly what you would call suicidal anymore, but i do go through depressing times and i do feel like total crap somedays and i do want to . . . um . . . just do some things to myself. . . . Not exactly kill myself either.

i don't know...in some way it is, because you only care about yourself, and don't think about the rest.but then, it's also selfish from people to want someone to live just because they need them...

there is always a way out. life has to go on. there are so many people who can't live because they're ill and there are those people who don't think there is a way out of their problems. but there is always a way. call me ignorant or naive, but this is my opinion.

I wouldn't say you're ignorant or naive because your opinion is something i've heard a thousand times and more before. I agree with you because what you're saying is true. Even though suicidal people can't seem to look through all of the pain, the help is there . . . they -we- just need to open our eyes wide enough to realize it. . . . I'm on my way of a suicidal recovery. I can't say that i'm perfect again - i'm far from it! - but i have realized that killing yourself doesn't solve anything. Yeah, ive got a REALLY long way to go, but hey, people need to realize that once suicide is a choice, it's kinda hard to get that out of your mind. . . . . . it still is for me

suicide is a very personnal thing here talks the voice of experience been there done that bought the t shirt from someone who has nursed her husband through depression fight for treatment only for him to jump in front of a train then pick up the pieces and triede to do it so many times to herself then yes it is selfish but your boyfriend needs professional help and quick the best advice is to listen to him and get the help he needs my thoughts r with you hope all goes well
