... do me, and your family and loved ones a few favors before you do.
1. Leave a fucking note explaining why. 2. Have a will. Even one you write out by hand in your note (see 1, above) is better than nothing. Especially if you have two children. 3. Don't kill yourself with a GSW (it just gives the anti-gun crowd more reasons why guns are bad). 4. Don't pass your father on his way into the family home after a hard day at work in order to shoot yourself on the front lawn. 5. Don't do it before you've exhausted every other option. I attended the funeral of a young man, 33, who walked out of the family home, passing his father on the way, in order to take his own life. It seems inexplicable that someone so loved by so many (more than 300 friends and family attended today, a Friday early afternoon - no doubt many more couldn't make it due to work) would do such a thing. He makes 13 people I known at least slightly who took their own lives. Some were close (three relatives, an EMS partner, an office mate), some further away (this young man). In a handful, we know why (pending felony charges, cops coming to arrest), in others we don't. Its the cases where it is inexplicable that are the hardest for folks to bear. So, if you are going to kill yourself, do me, and everyone else, a few favors. |

right a person is totally thinking of all the people who love them when they go kill themselves.

What was his felony arrest going to be for?
I could see that being trigger for a lot of people to leave this world. |

suicide alternative: fake your own death ftw
1. plan to alter your appearance. grow out your beard for a while or acquire some hair dye, tan in a can, etc. may want to learn new language discreetly 2. take out a unit of your blood. do this yourself. 3. pack a bag of survival essentials. pay cash if buying anything new. 4. drive your car out to the woods 5. smear blood everywhere 6. leave behind anything personally identifying (IDs, credit cards, cell phones) 7. alter your appearance. shave beard, dye hair, tan skin, start speaking only in new language (if applicable) 8. hike on foot as far as your provisions will allow 9. hitchhike back to civilization, as far away as possible from where people might identify you 10. live life as a vagrant. invent elaborate story about your background. 11. (optional) get deported 12. ??? 13. live (and profit) disclaimer: the above is intended for humor only, not to defraud people or to fugue from justice. |

Yes, its always nice when a mother finds her pale/blue son propped up halfway on the bed and face first in the wall. A needle buried in his arm and a burnt spoon on the nightstand is a nice touch as well. |

Some people are just mentally weak and can't handle life. I'm sorry if this suicide affects you.
I will also add that you should not put a gun to your temple and blow 2 extra holes in your head in front of your 10 year old son. It could affect his life, and his sons life and so on and so on.. |
|
it'd be nice if people would start taking mental illness seriously and stop stigmatizing it, too

You forgot life insurance. I'm getting some first for sure. Many of them don't pay out for suicide FYI. Some do. Yup. Didn't know this until a father took his life leaving his family hundreds of thousands in insurance $. I always thought suicide was exempt. |

7. Dig a plot and lay down inside of it. Call ahead for an excavator to push in the mound.
|

Also, do not kill yourself by jumping in front of a train, nor parking your vehicle on a railroad crossing.

A couple of suicides I've known of actually cancelled all life insurance policies they had in their name before dropping the hammer.
you figure it out... |

Several years ago, a friend walked into the living room in front of his whole family and ate a .38...Christmas Day ! ! !

Health care is now in the hands of the .GOV
Anything serious is logged and recorded. Probably even 10 years ago. I've seen people die because they needed outpatient treatment for alcoholism and died because they did not want to be on the "books". Once on the "books" you lose lots of rights. |

But ultimately it doesn't matter much how it is done.
My son hung himself with an extension cord. He left a note. He did it at school. He was 17. This happened more than 19 years ago. This month he would have been 37. I grieve for him daily. |

I used to have no reason or will to live.
Now it's the opposite. I want to maximize my time here. Kick myself for thinking that way and neglecting my health. |

You forgot life insurance. I'm getting some first for sure. Many of them don't pay out for suicide FYI. They didn't pay out for someone who hung themselves with a rope over a nail that was barely holding the noose which was padded with thin towel when the victim was wearing fishnets and garters and a feather boa but otherwise nude with vaseline on their hand. Now they do since they figured out they were accidental deaths. To be serious make sure you keep an eye on all those who know the victim. Sometimes someone else will see it as a viable option after a friend or relative commits suicide. |

Add rule #6: Use a revolver, not an autoloader. Unless you put just one in the chamber, it'll fall out of your hand ready to fire again.

IF you are seriously considering suicide, you've just leveled up to GOD MODE.
If you're willing to kill yourself, why not FIRST take advantage of GOD MODE, and do something radical. Make a radical career change, move someplace interesting, take off on the Appalachian trail, buy a sailboat and sail the world. Move to Alaska and build a cabin, take up mountain climbing, motorcycle or car racing, go exploring someplace dangerous. Hell, do something before you check out. Don't squander the ultimate life level. |

It's the ultimate act of selfishness. On the flip side, I can't blame people that decide it's the final answer. When you're at that point and it's all out of control, that seems like the only controllable thing. |
