Discussion What's one thing you wished people understood about suicide?

[UserFromNowhere]

It's not always irrational. It's not always mental illness. It's not always about stopping the pain. Sometimes you're just content with death and the desire for it pulls at you stronger than the desire for life. In the past, I'd say my death was definitely the result of mental illness and just wanting the pain and discomfort and unpleasantness of life to stop, but recently, I've been able to come to terms with all that, I've been able to "enjoy life," and I still feel a desire to die.

that someone can have a fortunate life but still suffer with severe mental illness that only death can cure in the end. that the mental pain can feel too much to bear and no matter how much they care about their loved ones and not want to cause them grief they still have to go through with it. it doesnt mean everyones love and support wasnt enough
