I would suspect many more people than would care to admit have had such thoughts.
IMO,it is a selfish act,however,when your mind is in such a dark place,its also an uncontrollable one as it would appear there is no alternative.

I've suffered from Anxiety since I was a child. read reports from Child psychiatrists who picked it up in me from being young.
Not had it diagnosed in me as an Adult (as I prefer to keep the symptoms quiet with the NHS) but I have suffered with Social Anxiety for a few years now.
Sport helped me alot, I still workout alot and it helps me but yea it's stressful especially when some people have thought I'm so confident.
I've done many irrational things in my life which have been linked with the social anxiety.
I've never attempted suicide although I have thought about it many times, usually once a day for many years.
Rather strange reading back what I've just wrote as I am generally a healthy lad. I eat healthily, look after myself and have had a good life...just all this is running on inside my head.

Been there plenty of times. You genuinely think that everyone would be better off without you, like you're doing the world a favour. So to call it selfish is wrong in my opinion.
Attempted myself once, but the fuck up I am I couldn't even get that right!
Anyone who's feeling shitty, it's a cliche but talk to someone, anyone. A chat with a homeless guy on Oxford road helped me!
Like I said though, you have it in your head that you would be doing the works a favour, the act itself is selfish I suppose but the train of thought certainly isn't

I have suffered from depression and won't lie I've considered it a few times. When you live each second of every day with a dark cloud hanging over you that you just can't get rid of you start to see the appeal in just ending it all and to finally be at peace.
Some say it's selfish to those they leave behind but then aren't the ones they leave behind also being selfish by wanting them to continue to live in such misery?
I really think a lot more research needs to be done on this illness. The current treatments aren't very effective and the human brain is still a mystery to the scientific community.

I am meeting a counsellor at work for the second time on Friday, and said I would visit my GP beforehand as I feel low all the time, but what you say is what I feared - them just throwing some pills at you.CTID1988 said:What doesn't help is doctors trying to fob you off with meds after 2 minutes.
When I went to the docs they didn't even listen, they were pretty much writing the prescription as I was having a mini breakdown

Citalopram is often the most prescribed. I think docs get a bad rap, cognitive therapy is the only other option and most people only suffer a mild mental episode which can be balanced out by a course of these mild anti-depressents.
Obviously you get docs who don't give a flying fuck. Which is sad.

Good point, which is why I haven't mentioned any of my symptoms to a GP.
Mood stabilizers and all that shit doesn't fix the problem, just hides it.
The problem re-appears if you stop taking the pills (in many cases)
I won't go near anti-depressants. I'm fighting the negatives in my brain with regular exercise and a healthy, balanced diet.
