What would it take for you...........

to want to commit suicide?

Now before you tell Youngatart to "nick off", for being such a sad, pessimistic soul.........

Hope this doesn't offend anyone but I think it is a topic worth discussing if for nothing else to prevent us from actually carrying out the plan.

I thought today if I had committed a serious crime like murder, I could not forgive myself. Especially rape and murder. It's just so shocking and so hideous. You may have heard of an Irish girl who was raped and murdered in Melbourne(Australia) recently. Appalling story. I tried to think if I was in the murderer's shoes, I wouldn't want to live anymore. I would be happy to be executed immediately. Sooner the better. I think if there was an easy way to suicide, I would do it.
Guilt is a terrible thing. How does one recover from such guilt? I hope I never find out. Mind you, I think this particular rapist has more regret than guilt. Regret that he got found out. But you never know. There may be a pang of remorse in his heart.

As for suicide, I can understand those in horrible physical pain. I'm sure you have discussed this before on other threads. I think this thread could be more about mental anguish from guilt.

I cant envisage a time when I would want to "top myself" It would cause such grief for my wonderful family for a start and of course once you have done the deed...there aint no changing your mind!

Re: What would it take for you...........

There's always that responsibility isn't there. We don't just live for ourselves.
I wonder if the murderer in the story (in my post), has anyone who wants him to stay alive, who cares about him.

Re: What would it take for you...........

No I wont - I will call you - as I have done ......Nick

Re: What would it take for you...........

Nick - if there is something you feel 'guilt' about - then you have remorse, if this is so, you should always confide in the person you have hurt and let them know ..... It may be of help to them .....

Re: What would it take for you...........

Yes Pats darlin' - me too. Of course we could always call him 'old nick'. (except that he isn't!!!)

Re: What would it take for you...........

Maybe I have got you curious now. No scandalous sins of late to tell. Just lack courage in the heat of the moment to say what needs to be said. That's all. Don't live up to my own ideals.
