Yes. A woman. Things didn't went the way she wanted so she did this, disrespecting God.
The first thing I thought was the suffering she was experiencing in the afterlife.
>inflict someone with unbearable pain / suffering
>they kill themselves to escape it
>get triggered and torture them even worse in hell
loving and fair
>HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT SIR! I-ITS BECAUSE HE WANTS TO GIVE YOU FREE WILL OR SOMETHING I DONT KNOW JUST DONT THINK YOU GODDAMN CHUD. DOESNT FREAKIN' MATTER IF HE KNOWS EVERYTHING AND KNOWINGLY BROUGHT YOU OUT OF NOTHINGNESS, MOULDED YOUR LIFE AND GENETICS TO MAKE YOU WHAT HE DEEMS A "SINNER" AND THEN PUNISHES YOU IN ETERNAL HELLFIRE FOR HIS OWN AMUSEMENT! THINK ABOUT THE AUTONOMY THAT HE TOTALLY GAVE YOU BY DOING THAT TO YOU! THATS FREAKIN' RIGHTEOUS OR SOMETHING, GODDAMN CHUDROACH!

A good "held me when I was a baby" type family friend hung himself a couple months ago, it was undoubtedly sad but he wasn't the same after his mom died, I miss him but I'm glad he's not suffering anymore. Glad he went out on his own terms than the more likely route (drug overdose). God speed Jamie you magnificent bastard.
Yes, my midget classmate in 7th grade decided he didn't want to live anymore so he did a backflip off the lunchtable and landed on right top of his head breaking his neck
Lol another data mining thread. fuck off glowies

Booyaka, booyaka, 619!
I used to kill myself all the time as a kid but then i kinda stopped cuz it got boring just killing myself and then being reborn just for me to kill myself all over again
taIe as old as time
two of my coworkers did. they were quiet dudes and appeared to be single
Two. Both smart, accomplished, outgoing. Neither gave any indication of issues. Both fairly religious. I was close to both and saddened I couldn't see what was going on in their heads.
a friend's friend
don't remember really, this was a few years ago. he went missing and i was worried, then his body was found.
for a while after that i just stuck around as emotional support for my friend to help him cope. can't really say i remember any strong emotions apart from worry
I had condemned him months prior, when I heard he had hung himself in his mother's backyard there wasn't much for me to feel beyond the vague discontentment that comes from seeing anything wasted. He was an important figure in my life, I did not attend the funeral.
2 friends:
1. was really unexpected and I was like holy shit.
2. was like no shit, I was sad for a bit but it was the ultimate "I told you so". His wife got super obese and turned into a fat lazy burden putting him $30k in debt and when I told him to leave her worthless arse he said I was ugly, autistic and unlovable so I would not understand the connection they had. Well I am alive and he is dead so I guess I did understand.
Two of my former school classmates have killed themselves. Both women. It was very surprising cause we're all still in our twenties. You grow up with these people and suddenly *poof* they're gone. Definitely left me in a funk for a bit and I have reoccurring dreams of one of the girls who I knew since I was five. Still think about them both frequently.
Graduated from high school a decade ago and so far 3 people from my graduating class committed suicide. In fact, quite a few people I knew have died from suicide, car accidents, drug overdose, or alcohol poisoning before their 30th birthday. Such is life in small town Ohio I guess. The fentanyl crisis/opioid epidemic have done quite a number on the rust belt and appalachia.
I was semi-close with these women.
We worked together, chatted and hung out outside of work sometimes.
?feature=shared
It was very shocking when I learned of their double suicide.
Like, "this can't be real, I saw them not long ago"
I hope they are in a better place now. Left a pit in my stomach for months.
My brother left a letter for the family saying he was leaving and would contact us again in a couple years but it's been a lot longer than that so I think he's probably dead
As sad as those deaths are when people commit suicide at least NDEs are real and prove that there is an afterlife. So those people are literally in paradise now. Indeed, NDEs are actually solid proof of life after death, because anyone can have them if they come close to and survive death. And they are so extremely real to those who have them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U00ibBGZp7o
As this NDEr described their NDE:
>"Now, what heaven looks like? 'OMG' doesn't even describe how beautiful this place is. Heaven is, there are no words. I mean, I could sit here and just not say anything and just cry, and that would be what heaven looks like. There are mountains of beauty, there are things in this realm, you can't even describe how beautiful this place is. There are colors you can't even imagine, there are sounds you can't even create. There are beauties upon this world that you think are beautiful here. Amplify it over there times a billion. There are, it's incredibly beautiful, there's no words to describe how beautiful this place is, it's incredibly gorgeous."
And importantly, even dogmatic skeptics have this reaction, because the NDE convinces everyone:
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/mysteries-consciousness/202204/does-afterlife-obviously-exist
So anyone would be convinced if they had an NDE, we already know this, no one's skepticism is unique. And the book in pic related is known to convince even hardened skeptics that there is an afterlife.
>muh brain chemistry
Neuroscientists are convinced by NDEs too. What do skeptics think they understand that neuroscientists do not?
>muh DMT causes it
Scientifically refuted already, and NDErs who have done DMT too say that the DMT experience, while alien and really cool and fun, was still underwhelming to the point of being a joke when compared to the NDE.
>Scientifically refuted already
Science is when I reject obvious papers and stuff cottons to my ears to any further arguement.
NDE are real but they're just extreme brain hallucinations. That's the position of most neuroscientists. There is no such thing as an afterlife.
The entire concept of afterlife/heaven stems from the archaic idea that humans possess a soul distinct from their body. The soul (in Latin: anima) was believed to be the true essence of the person and the body a mere vessel for it. Thus, what we call "death" was just merely the disapperance of our physical frame and the transfer of our true self to a divine world.
The thing is, we're in 2023. Nowadays, we have a deep enough understanding of biology and neurology to be able to explain in detail how our body is animated. Many parts of what we used to believe was the "soul" (personality, memory, etc.) have been shown to have physical causes (see picrel as example, we broadly know which parts of our brain are responsible for what).
There is no external entity animating our body, our body is just animating itself like the big complex machine it is. When your computer dies, you don't wonder where its soul went. It just died. It's exactly the same thing for us, except we're not silicon-based robots like computers but carbon-based ones.
>When your computer dies, you don't wonder where its soul went. It just died. It's exactly the same thing for us
So you're telling me that my computer is a conscious entity currently generating/experiencing it's own subjective reality? That's insane. You need to get your hardware checked.
Not your shitty personal computer, but if one day we manage to build an AI machine as complex as our brain then yes, it will experience its own subjective reality. And don't tell me this is impossible because 1. it's not the point of this argument 2. AI is advancing very fast, much faster than you think.
But what would make it conscious? How, after putting all those pieces together and booting up your robot, would you know you actually had a living being and not merely a hollow simulacrum? Even basic lifeforms are still fundamentally conscious, so brain complexity can't be the source. An earthworm could end up being more truly alive than the complex machine you created.
That's the thing, there's nothing that can distinguish a human from a very complex AI machine. "Consciousness" is just the subjective perception of all your brain cells working together. If humans can have consciousness, machines can have conciousness, it's just a matter of having the right neural pathways.
>Even basic lifeforms are still fundamentally conscious
Basic lifeforms (like bacteria or fungi) aren't conscious by any stretch. Consciousness only happens in large multicellular organisms with developed central systems ("brains"). An earthworm can't be conscious since it doesn't have anything resembling a brain.
Worm are goth spaghetti that doesnt know its alive!!!
I know two people. My neighbour killed himself when I was a kid and then there was a kid from my class that killed himself the night before a school trip. I don't remember my reaction when I heard that my neighbor killed himself but I don't think I cared too much. The classmate, on the other hand, I remember being shocked initially but I didn't knew him that much. Nowadays, with how shit my life turned out I think they were unto something.
>Do you know anybody who killed themselves?
no
>What was your reaction when you found out?
i masturbated
actually i know someone for real. he shot himself with a shotgun. he was a millionaire and survived a hit, a bullet destroyed his back and he was locked to a wheelchair. couldnt work anymore. became extremly depressive and ran out of money. he had to file for bankrupcy thats when he killed himself.
Asking here because it's related.
Would hanging yourself upside down be a viable method of suicide. Like would you just pass out after a few hours from low blood pressure and eventually die from heart failure?
Look up the guy who died in the Nutty Putty cave. It quite literally took him 28 hours to die and he was conscious and awake almost the entire time, in extreme discomfort.
Unless your heart is diseased or is made of paper, chances are you'll meet the same long, agonizing death.
Yes. A young Boy Scout in the Southeast. He was bullied all the time. Poor kid (11-13?) offed himself at Xmas.
i had a little friend when i was younger who probably killed herself because of me i was pretty sad and felt really stupid
also a family member died from fentanyl that's like suicide right? i was pretty surprised and upset, we used to play vidya together since we were kids.
I once knew a Chinese family who had shaky relations with their mainland government. One day, they all killed themselves overnight. Saddest thing eber.
Yes, he also posted on this board. We worked together.
He was quiet and shy like me. Tall as hell but awkward around everybody. We sat next to each other and one day he revealed his power level. We became best friends and we would post on /LULZ/ from our work desks.
I hung out with him a lot, we smoked weed, talked about Chads and Stacies, incel shit, Elliot Rodger. We played Warhammer and Blops. He was legitimately my only friend for a little bit.
He went on vacation with his dad and that's where he killed himself, he was hunting and just decided to shoot himself. I only found out after he stopped showing up to work. I contacted his dad and that's how I learned how everything happened. I showed up to his funeral and hugged his crying mom, saw his corpse. I cried too. I was devastated.
It has fucked me up to this day. I miss you bro. I really miss you man
A fairly close friend of mine with aspergers, trauma from childhood sexual abuse, familial issues, and some other deep-seated issues shot himself just under a year ago.
The standard disbelief and inability to feel was the first reaction, and it stayed that way for pretty much the rest of the day minus one or two random tears on the way home. When I was alone the next day, I cried terribly for a few minutes once it set in that he was dead.
Since then, not really that much. We shared a group of mutual friends, and he was the one of us that I was the least close with--his death hasn't affected me profoundly as an individual, and I feel almost bad for how comparatively little it has seemed to hurt me though I regret not cherishing his presence more and not being a better friend to him.
He ended up in a mental hospital about a year prior to his suicide, and he ended up staying with me and my parents' house for a couple of weeks after he got out as a little vacation from his family. He ended up having to leave prematurely because I got into a huge fight with my parents about my own problems, and while he was there I was a very awful friend and unsupportive because I had been insanely depressed around that time. I wish I could have been a much more supportive friend during that sensitive period of his life.
I think one of the reasons it didn't affect me as much as I would have otherwise thought is that, at the time of his death, I simply hadn't seen him in over 6 months--he transferred to a different college, seemed to have been doing fine. I personally think he had a lot of things going for him materially in his life, but his past trauma and mental issues clearly had more leverage over him.
I do wonder if there was some specific event that caused him to kill himself or if it was spontaneous. His girlfriend also ended up committing suicide a couple of months later, so maybe she was involved somehow. I'll never know, though
Friend in Highschool. We were both losers, I held up, he didnt. Last time I saw him we smoked some pot on a hill talkinh about life. Had to go home with my bike, he stayed a little. He somehow got ahold of heroin and shoot up a large amount in his car after I left
Yes one of my friends killed himself in 10th grade. He was loved by basically everyone, the whole class was devastated crying the next day. Never assume people arent hurting because you never know. Remember to tell people you love them.
When my friend was found dead on the floor of a gas station bathroom i coomed and then did the gangnam style (it was 2012)
What do you want to hear? That people will miss you. They will most likely. But life isn't about what others think of you. That's some subconscious narcissism shit.
dark absurdity
my father blew his head off with a shotgun almost exactly eight months ago now. I heard the gunshot at 2 am, but it was muffled by a pillow so i thought he had fallen and just went to bed. Walked into his room the next morning to ask him if he wanted me to get him food from the store i worked at. I remember walking up to his door, and i knew something was wrong. It was too silent, i opened it and saw his head destroyed, his body laying flat in the bed, blood everywhere. I yelled and smashed something with the gun. I remember crying on his chest and it felt so cold, his hands were so stiff. I would look up, expecting to see the face of my best friend, and just see his skull folded down over his face, his eyes popped out of his head and yellow. his face was flat and stretched, like a rubber mask. I lost a lot of time to alcoholism and it nearly ruined my relationship.
My condolences, anon. I hope I'm not overstepping here, but I'm sure your close relationship with your father helped keep him around longer than if he hadn't had you in his life.
Wife hanged herself about 11 years ago now. I just remember feeling very cold and very weak. Probably would have joined her years ago but I have a kid who needs her dad. Just gotta power through the bad days.
Serious non-troll question, but how old is your daughter? Do you see her sexually or purely parentally?
I ask because I had a best mate in highschool whose dad died when he was entering puberty. Confessed to me a few years after school when we were drunk that she had become very inappropriate with him, he reckons she became very lonely and seeing as he was half of his dad, she kind of tried to make him fill that role. Started with emotional incest and then proper fucking and I think it kinda messed him up as he never really cared for girls that much and though I haven't spoken to him in a while, I think he's single still.
Anyway, do you see your wife in your daughter?
nagger what the fuck is wrong with you? Did you not read his post?
He's lurking a suicide thread for a reason, anon.
Probably because his wife hung herself, why don't you just fuck off and stop gargling dicks
Why are you retarded? I was talking about the incest-anon, dumbhomosexual.
Good on you for staying in the game anon, you did good
My mother had terminal cancer and killed herself.
It made things very difficult but we couldn't blame her, she thought she was doing the right thing.
But then when people in the community found out their attitude to us changed totally, our family went from being universally supported to being shunned. People said some horrible things.
The hardest part was that we were there when she died, she just drank poison and called everyone to come see her and we had to just watch her die.
She'd called the funeral parlour pretending to be someone else and reported finding herself dead. The paramedics came no lights no sirens and being the eldest I had to make the call and told them she was dead so they didn't try to rush in to save her. When the paramedics arrived and saw everyone they just sort of knew, pulled me aside and asked who was there at the time and I said that she drank poison and then started making phone calls. The paramedics actually guarded our house so the police wouldn't come. There are a lot of Christians in our community with very strong views about suicide/euthenasia and stooped so low as attacking the families of suicides. Yea they gave us hell and still are. Lord forgive them they know not what they do.
Suicide happens for a lot of reasons, nobody talks about it but elderly people often kill themselves, are killed by medical staff or family members as an act of mercy.
Four. All since I was 18. Probably more that I wasn't told the truth about.
One was a guy who went to a support group I helped run. He'd been there 10+yes (long before I was there). As part of coordinating the group you have to also share/participate, and his response to what I said was so impactful I cried. A month or so later, my boss told me he'd been found dead in his apartment. Hung himself. Knew him for a long time.
University. Best friends GF broke up with him, plus artists' disease
He sent me pictures of him in the city with tons of valium he got in Germany. After making it home he just fell asleep and never woke up. I honestly don't know if it was suicide.
Girl I knew in primary school and knew because we worked on adjacent fields. She was very close to becoming a doctor, disappeared after visiting the pharmacist. Found a couple of days later dead in her car. Made something that killed her supposedly, was NOT an od.
Gynecologist. Stress too much for him. In his 50s, son had moved out, daughter living at home. Did it in his office, don't remember how. Was the earliest one.
Mostly it was shock. For my best friend, it was numbing. I feel should've done more. I feel like at that time I sort of resigned myself that if he really wanted to die there was nothing I could do to stop it, he would find a way. Maybe it's an excuse, but I was dealing with horrific stuff too at the time.
For the old guy at group, it really did feel like I'd had the wind knocked out of me. I still think about him sometimes.
And for the colleague who killed herself before coming a doctor... It was weird. I'd been to primary school with this person and worked alongside them. They were very smart, earnest, and reserved. And then they were gone. Most student doctors and residents are depressed and stressed. If you aren't you're desensitized or a literal psycho. I assumed she was desensitized from how she worked and talked. But yeah just... Gone.
ive known a few last logged in 700+ days ago guys but my mom died of an opiod overdose when i was 13, and between rumors i got to overhear a year later while "helping" my grandma move (mostly sat around playing project mirai dx because my arm strength is nonexistant) and the timing of it (laat time i was in her custody i had to call the cops on her and she threw a lamp + other shit at me) im pretty sure it was intentional
i'm going to follow in her footsteps eventually. i just don't know when i'll hit my limit with how fucking bad it is to live with c-ptsd
