there is a quote
” the earth will always pitch out the tons mr. wrong before the only one of mr right” .suicide will never be a solution of any problem! live for the future not for the past :)

I think taking your life because of another person is ridiculous. Severe mental problems, depression, that’s one thing; still not the way out but I understand it. But ending your entire existence because someone doesn’t love you back is just stupid and selfish - the pain it causes for family and friends forever far outweighs the pain of unrequited love, which will cease in time.
From the way you phrased the question I assume this is theoretical- but is this actually a problem for you that you need to talk about, are you okay?

I’m too much of a coward so no need to worry.

Thank you for all the replies.

you can talk about it as soon as you are ready. you’re always welcome.

I dont think it’s cowardly to not kill yourself. Okay, if you need to talk about anything shout.

being coward about getting suicide is still better than being brave .

I think that talking about it is just gonna make it worst… But thanks anyway.

talking bout things may always seem like the hardest thing to do but it can help! and we’re all here if you ever want to! xx

Thank you, I will remember that.

?

i get the reasons behind why u say taking your life cos of another person is ridiculous…and I agree alright but when someone has hurt you in the worst possible way it can seem like an option…i really really hope anon doesnt cos you are right the pain does ease with time…and friends/family support is always good!!!!! xx

Hi Wyyldfairy. I understand the pain someone can cause; of course I do. I’m not trying to belittle anon’s pain at all or say I dont understand how they feel; but it is true that it’s not worth killing yourself over. I suppose I’m looking at this from the view that I, like everyone else in the world of course, have been hurt by someone I’ve loved and I’ve also suffered from severe depression all my life, and I guess in comparison, the ‘unrequited love’ pain is nothing in terms of reasons to kill yourself so to me it just seems like an even bigger waste; maybe that’s not how everyone else sees it, I dont know. I’ve lost two friends to suicide and if I thought it was because of a guy, I’d be even more heartbroken because it’s so senseless. So while I feel for anon and hope that when they’re ready to talk they come back because I’m completely sympathetic to their problem and I do understand how they feel, I stand by what I said. They have every reason to feel heartbroken and miserable and all those things but unfortunately it is a part of life and if everyone killed themselves because of it then there’d be no-one left alive.
I know what you meant and I understand where you’re coming from, but I did
understand where anon was coming from as well and that’s just how I see it.
Sorry for the long ramble, my brain’s fried from study :)

hehe..iknow the feeling of brain fry and brain freeze…have it at the mo too! oh i know you did understand and i know you wernt belittling anon!! :)
hope you’re doing ok too!! xx
