REFUSE to Suffer

Considering committing suicide? Ending your life? Taking your own life? Murdering yourself? Ending it all? Shooting yourself? Taking a handful of pills? Jumping off of a building? Well it's an important decision. It deserves plenty of consideration before you take action. A mistake could be even worse than deadly.
Most people who contemplate committing suicide are ambivalent, undecided or another way to put it is that they're "teetering" between doing it and not doing it. Is that where you're at? I've spent time there myself. Imagine a big refrigerator sitting on a porch. How easy is it to move? Not very. But if it's on one edge teetering... now how easy is it to tip it either way? See? Has the pain pushed you up near that edge, are you teetering between the pain of living and the pain of dying?
The suicidal person is teetering on the edge of a terrible heartbreaking choice.... which to choose, the pain of death or the pain of life... which is the worst... hmmmm.
Please consider changing the question. Please consider just for a few minutes at least, changing the choices. What if we changed the question to the pain of death or the pleasure of life? Ah now, don't quit reading yet. There's a reason you found this page. Come on, check out the rest before you go.
The human brain is designed to move towards pleasure and away from pain. When we increase the connection to pleasure in living AND we remember and connect to the real pain of suicide that's being ignored, we'll make a difference. This approach is a little bit Chicken Soup for the Distressed and a whole lot reality check. The primary focus here is not on all the reasons you're depressed. Too often reasons turn into excuses to commit murder, self-murder. Instead this is based on increasing the healthy pleasure in your life right NOW and considering that in no uncertain terms suicide doesn't take away the pain, how it in fact multiplies the pain. This approach is based on leverage and common sense.
Please, walk through the handful of links on this page before you go. Who loves you more than anyone else? Your life mate? Your parents? Your children? Your pet? Your best friend? I'm not saying don't you dare commit suicide. I'm saying you owe it to them to check out these few pages before you brutally murder someone they love. Just go that far. Just check them, consider them for a week first. Hells bells, you've suffered this long, the people that love you deserve that much. I've been where you are. I've found a healthy pathway out of the darkness and pain. I've spent thousands of hours on perfecting this site and writing these pages to help you not only save your life, but to be damned glad you did. Check out a few of them before you decide to go. Okay?
