Is suicide a viable option to prevent one from harming others?
If somebody suffers from social anxiety disorder and borderline avoidant personality disorder (call it 'love shyness' if the term is medically accepted), to the tune that the frustrations of not finding a romantic/sexual partner are driving him to infatuation with the possible risk of causing severe emotional/physical distress to the (unrequited) subject of his affections, in such a case would his suicide be a justifiable/preferrable alternative to prevent such an action?
Answers:
No, of course not. I don't know if you are talking about yourself or someone else, and I don't want to assume anything but there have to be better ways to deal with it than killing oneself. If he is not already getting treatment (I am assuming there is some kind of treatment) then that would be a start, and if he is and the treatment he is on is not working then switching to another kind, or just upping the intensity might help. Suicide is never a preferrable option. As hard as it is to believe things do get better. I know that everyone tells that to people who consider suicide, and I know that not one of those people want to hear that, but it is the truth. If you can wait things out with the help of friends and family and sometimes medical professionals if you need to things will get better. And sometimes it isn't even drastically better, but it is better than it was, and definately better than death.
NO
No there's medicines you can take for that. Suicide's pretty much the worst option in any case
My brother killed himself and I think you are a first class moron. Thanks for being sympathetic to UKQnA.com members who are suicide survivors if you even know what that means. Fukk off and die. I hope somebody beats u over the head sometime soon. Please get hit by a bus your next time out walking.
Don't let the police know they'll shot you in the head cause that is their training on how to Handel a suicidal.
NO way man
Are you asking this for somekind of case study or are you ill?
No - death like that should never be an option. Psychiatric help is the way forward - proper help that is xx
Mculasso I think that was a tad over the top.
To answer the question, no.
Depressions and anxiety are closely linked and there are many treatments that have a very high success rate.
If you break your leg you don't chop it off do you?
no
think of the people who DO care for you & how they would feel -
get help if you are considering it!
No, suicide is never a viable option and anyone in that position should seek medical advice from a qualified medical professional.
er. no. NEITHER is a good option. therapy/counselling is probably the best bet.
No, because while there's life there's hope.
Suicide doesn't fix anything. Well, no, that's not true; it would fix your problem but not only are you throwing your life away over a lack of sex but you are throwing it away when there are other answers.
no its not your choice as to when your life ends. Go to your GP and he` ll refer you to someone who can help
if that same person is aware they are suffering so, they really should look for help and guidance and not think of ending it all, they will hurt many people in doing so. tell them you can find help. also ask does this person get out enough to find their love, which quite often is the case today, what with home entertainment etc.. as is these days no-one goes out much anymore, tell them to join a group outside of home, even voluntary ?
I say yes, but that's just me. I don't want that guy in the gene pool. Doing nothing to advance yourself or your society is one thing, but physically harming or screwing with another person is certainly wrong. The borderline are truly messed up, huh?
Suicide is never an option.
Tell that person that his perceived irreconcilable troubles are only transient thoughts that will soon pass away as all thoughts do, good or bad.
Tell him to think of his thought processes as his inner voice or ego attempting to replenish itself by nurturing sorrow about past failures and fear of calamities in the future.
If he becomes aware of his ego, he will defuse it.
You say suicide "doesn't harm others" - but you're wrong; it harms those left behind, who are grieving for a loved one. Grief is awful & can have dreadful consequences.
the psychological position of people
suicide: psych: your OK/ I am not OK
murder : your not OK/ I am OK
murder/suicide: you are not OK/ I am not OK
You are saying you are not OK because you want to hurt another person that is OK, so you are going to kill yourself to keep that other person from being hurt by you and in the process still hurt that other person. or will that other person not care?
suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem/get help
No, listen man I was told by some people that I am suicidal, but i have a reason why i felt like killing myself. I dont take any medications because my reason is that I am a 21 year old man and I am 5'7. I look like a 12 year old with facial hair. I have a round shaped head and it is very small, i can wear size 7 hats. Its ******* hard out here being talked **** to, laughed at saying I look funny, but im still here but its so damn hard...i feel hopeless most of the time, but I still have hope my life will get better thats why im still alive today. When i was going threw a hard time people were calling me worried, so it does hurt others. Then again I felt like saying what about me, im unhappy here..
It's certainly a viable option. However, justifiable and/or preferable as opposed to what? Harming others--if you are inferring real harm, then I say yes. If you're intoning to prevent simply being irritating, then no.
I don't think "Viable " is the right word to use.
Suicide is an option for any reason and you have control over your own body. It's called Pro- choice.
There are groups on line for people who are suicidal as well as treatment from doctors.
It's all your choice.
Proper medical treatment and therapy would be preferable. Suicide is a choice, but there are other choices, and suicide is one choice you won't be able to come back from if it's successful. You never know what life could hold in store for you, and with the proper treatment, you could make progress with these psychological problems. If you don't try, you'll never know.
Suicide should never be suggested to a person as an alternative or a cure, it should not be 'offered' in any way.
for example, would you offer a very sick person the option of suicide if you were a doctor?
But..some people who are very ill would like the choice.
This is a very tricky question. Perhaps some murderers would prefer to kill themselves as they feel they deserve it, some would say let them that's one less, others would say, keep them alive and make them suffer.
legal or illegal, suicide is, unfortunately, the choice some people take as they consider it to be their own life to make or take.
The best advice is medical help, if indeed the help is available without a waiting list as long as time itself, and, if the person actually wants help.
My brother also took his life, for whatever reasons. It is a hard thing to come to terms with, but it was his choice. I love my brother very much, with love comes respect and honour. I honour his memory and respect his choices, even if I do not agree with them.
Everyone sometimes is lost, bored and feels bad. but that doesn't mean that he should end his life. It's just a phase.
Why do we get embarrassed?
Whats Your worst fear?
Does anyone know about Gestalt Psychologists?
The big question: Why?
Why don't you get laundry thieves any more?
If accused of being two faced, how would you know which was the the real you?
Who loves you & who you love & why?
Perfectionist tendencies, task oriented and critical of poor work is preventing good relations, suggestions?
