It's ultimately our fault, not the person who did it. We've such a stigma on mental illness and emotional distress that we tell people to "get over it" rather than acknowledge that they might need help. This only pushes them further into feeling alone and isolated. And then when they attempt or succeed at suicide, we whine that they took the "coward's way out." This, by the way, is a good sign of an insensitive moron.

And of course some people take that even further by saying someone who committed suicide is "going to hell," which shows an almost sociopathic disregard for peoples' suffering, both that of the victim and their loved ones, which doesn't really seem very Christian, does it?

I unfriended a lot of people on Facebook last year when Robin Williams died, I tell you what.

It isn't just a mental health issue, it is also a crippling poverty issue. If you are facing eviction and having to live on the streets because even though you've tried everything you can there are no jobs that pay enough, then suicide is an entirely rational choice. If you are forced to live in conditions that are degrading, or are forced to act as an indentured servant, then suicide is rational. Suicide can be rational. Sometimes it is the only rational choice. Our society is rotten to its very core.

I've honestly considered suicide for poverty reasons before. I barely make enough to live day to day in a not-great apartment and with not-great things. And I obviously can't save enough for health things or retirement. So I'm dreading what will happen as I get older. Will I really be able to work at this crap job in these crap conditions until I die? Or would it be better to end it early/earlier?

IAWTC. Seriously.
