      This is the second time today I've run into this person spouting the same shit about suicide. They're either a troll or someone who lacks all humanity or maybe both?

      Probably lost a loved one to suicide. I knew a guy who walked in on his dads brains blown all over the wall. I always see people act like suicide is heroic or brave. But the hurt they leave behind is hard to separate from. Suicide is a pretty selfish act because you hand off all the pain to everyone else. The friend of mine will suffer the rest of their life among the rest of the family who were left with cleaning up after that mess

        I’m not disagreeing with the entirety of your sentiment but there’s a not-insignificant portion of people that commit suicide because they are in daily pain and anguish. Wouldn’t it be just as selfish to force this person to continue living simply so that those people don’t have to deal with the fact that they failed their loved one?

        Sure… get help and all but why didn’t they help, then?

          Honestly, not everyone has the means or is mentally healthy enough (because they're being abused and psychological deformation is a symptom of abuse) to get help when their problems are so all-consuming. When health insurance is tied to employment above the $20/hour subsistence level that most people are stuck at in this economy, TONS of otherwise normal and healthy people are at risk of slipping through the cracks of despair.

        You're not wrong, but the issue can be more broad.

        The ones they leave behind are usually arrogant towards the people with depression. Ime.

        If they legalized painless suicide no one would have to clean brains up and the passing could be a ceremonious celebration of free will.
