Suicides

Why do people try to kill themselves?

They are depressed, made a mistake, not able to handle pain, frustrated or are simply psychotic.

Each one can be a possibility.

Depression, without question, is the most common reason people commit suicide. Severe depression can lead to suffering as well as the belief that escape from it is hopeless. The pain of existence often becomes too much to bear. The state wraps up one's thinking, allowing ideas like "Everyone would all be better off without me" to make rational sense.

There are people crying out for help and don't know how to get it. These people don't usually want to die but do want to alert those around them that something is seriously wrong. They often don't believe they will die, frequently choosing methods they don't think can kill them in order to strike out at someone who's hurt them, but they are sometimes tragically misinformed. 

Psychosis is much harder to mask than depression and is arguably even more tragic. Inner voices often command self-destruction for unreasonable thoughts.

The decision to commit suicide is based on a reasoned decision and is often motivated by the presence of a painful terminal illness from which the sufferers cannot recover. They are the one's trying to take control of their destiny and alleviate their own suffering, which usually can only be possible if they put an end to their life. 

The wounds suicide leaves in the lives of those left behind by it are often deep and long lasting. The apparent trauma of suicide often fuels the most significant pain.that anyone reading this who's been The who is left behind by a tragic accident like suicide in his/her life cannot find a way to move on, to relinquish their guilt and anger, and find closure.
