Suicide

Don't know what persuaded me to watch Budds suicide but i enventually did. Brutal stuff...the ammount of blood that came rushing from his nose was unreal.
I know this might sound bad but it was selfish of him to commit a "public" suicide infront of potentially thousands of viewers, including children.

I don't think there's anything bad about saying that. Committing suicide in those circumstances is incredibly selfish. I don't have any problems with his decision to kill himself, but to do it in front of all those present and a televisual audience is another thing entirely. Couldn't he have just done it quietly, somewhere else?

I guess to do it on TV like that, he must've gone beyond the reason stage into something else.

I had a phase as a curious teen with internet in my room of watching bud dwyers and videos like that, not nice and a lot are hard to watch. I thought the worst one was some guy called kim sun il (somehting like that) who they made beg on video to his country to pull troops out, you could see the depseration in him and as you knew what was coming it was hard to watch. Paul Marshall was another one which was a close up, I couldn't bring myself to watch the Ken Bigley one. People getting stoned to death is very nasty shit as well, even more brutal than you'd think. Rememebr another one where it was just a vid of loads of people getting their tongues lobbed off, and another where a guy had his arm tied to the back of a car which drove off and ripped him in half. Ogrish is gone now I think they're all on liveleak? Dunno I don't watch em anymore

Suicide though, don't really think about it to be honest. Pretty sure that whatever way I chose to do it I'd be very drunk.
See I'd find it a lot harder to watch some of that than the Dwyer one... you knew what was coming and it was over in an instant. Tortureous deaths like the stoning one would be something I couldn't handle.
 
Dwyer was a copycat actually. A newscaster in Florida did the same on her morning show in 1974. She had actually written her own obituary too, which they subsequently read on air.

There's nothing courageous about suicide. It's a desperate act when one feels they are worthless. Of course, they are not worthless but that's their perception.
 
I had a mate who wanted to end it all whilst about five of us were sat in his living room with him. He got his golfing umbrella, stuck it up his nose and ran into a wall with it. He broke his nose, but didn't die.
 
A subject close to my heart with me having a psychiatric illness. Im more stable now than I have been for four years but I was in a bad way for a while.

My sister stopped me from hanging myself, I never thought anyone would know where to find me but some kind of intuition saved me and scarred my poor sister.

My mum wanted me sectioned because of how bad I was, I think they knew there was a determination in me not take the pressure of the illness anymore and just end it.

I wouldnt wish psychiatric/depressive illness on my worst enemy and hope one day I can help people that are in a position I have been in.
