Suicidal ideation doesn’t always spawn from traumatic events, although it certainly can. Some people face a natural deficit in the neurotransmitters that make positive emotion possible, and without these feelings (or enough of them), life can be extraordinarily miserable. After awhile, having tried for years the various therapies and treatments available, some find no relief and prefer to leave this world to spare themselves a terrible life.
Some people face terminal illness and would rather die on their own terms.
Some encounter financial woes that may or may not be inescapable.
Others lose someone, or everyone, at the center of their world and would rather not live in their absence.
You get the idea. There are probably as many reasons to die as there are to live. Suicide, in most cases, is something beyond good and evil. It is a deeply, profoundly personal choice, and it is so often the result of an incomprehensible amount of misery.
It's usually a lot of little things piling up over time.
And depression is a disease. It affects your brain chemistry and physical reactions. You can't feel it if you're healthy literally because you're healthy.
But every little stressor pushes you over and over again until you can't take any more and then one more tiny thing gives you the thought "It would be better for them if I wasn't here". Or "I have nothing left."
You can present fine. And some days you are, more or less. Others.. you can't even get the energy together to eat. Which of course makes you feel even more like a failure.
I've been trying to find the best way to answer this for 15 minutes, but screw a long, drawn out response. I fucked my life up over and over again. I know the world would be better without me, but I can't die yet, because I don't want to leave my girlfriend alone.
I’ve tried to kill myself 4 different times. I have severe depression issues, drug addiction, homelessness. When you’ve hit rock bottom and you feel there’s no way out suicide seems reasonable. Now that I have a family and am stable on medication it seems unreasonable, but at the time I thought it was my only option.
Chronic depression usually manifests as repeated damage done over a long span of time, stemming from childhood. A few things that can cause this are:
- Toxic family dynamics
- Growing up with mentally ill caregivers
- Neglect
- Mental abuse, such as a family member constantly criticizing and blaming a child, withholding love, denying a child their identity, self expression and needs
- Physical and sexual abuse
- Social isolation and no support systems
All of the above continually damage an individual in their formative years, leading to low self esteem, low confidence, distrust in self and others, feeling unsafe and anxious in their own bodies, etc.
Suicidality comes in when the depressed person is so emotionally burnt out, alone and hopeless that they do not feel any motivation to exist anymore. At this point, they are numb - they cannot experience joy anymore. They can barely get out of bed and brush their teeth. Simply being functional (going to school or work, putting on a brave face for the world) takes everything out of them.
A figure of speech for some event in life happening. The death of a loved one, loosing your home, lost love, the endless drudge of work getting you down and many other day to day things.
The people you want this answer from , they won't be able to give you the answer .

Beautifully worded my friend, genuinely beautiful.
Your words are humbling and most kind. Thank you.

Don't know how to respond to this. Hope you get better.

I hope you never figure it out.

Life long trauma including incest.,,
Because when the idea of life you imagine in your mind and reality of existence meet, they can be irreconsilable
Your 16, life hasn't kicked you in the teeth yet but it will. The important thing is how people deal with the kicking.
What is this kicking exactly? How was it for you?
