Suicide

[NewGrowth]

im waiting to get into a therapy program, DBT (dialectical behaviour therapy). its supposed to have a lot of zen ideas in it...and it promotes the idea of oneness. its specifically designed for people that have my disorder. whats zen therapy like? do u have a link to some info?

No, In true Zen therapy they take you off all your meds and they just let you be crazy as hell. They make sure that you are fed and all your basic needs are taken care of. They don't talk to you other than whats needed. They say that nothing in this life is permanent and you just have to let it run its course. Its amazing these people come in a complete psychosis and come out talking about how crazy they were acting. Then they help with meditation techniques ect.

sence im Christian for me its like this. Only God can give life and only God can take life away. So if you commit suicide you go against God. If you commit suicide you go to Hell. Thats what i think

YouTube - George Carlin - Religion is bullshit.

I read this earlier, and replied to it.....The part that got me was 'depression sometimes being terminal'
I thought about this, hard...I come from a couple different sides of this fence. I had a sister n law that committed suicide at the age of 24. I also had a sister that died from cancer at the age of 26...This phrase made me think that maybe BOTH of them were terminal....but, they are not the same. My sis n law DID have a choice, she had a choice to live or die, so I don't think she was terminal. My sister DIDN'T have a choice, she was going to die no matter what she did.
So I am putting that phrase into my debunk list....It isn't terminal, it is a choice...a stupid choice at that.

Eh, insurance companies?

I agree that in some cases suicide is a selfish act. When a person fails to recognize their life means more to others (notable family) than themselves and that it's in best interest for everyone important that they lead a happy and fulfilled life. However at the same time you have to understand the reasons that drive a person to suicide.

Sometimes people blame themselves for everything that goes wrong even if it's not their fault. They see themselves as a burden on others and themselves. To alleviate they pain the perceive to cause others they take their life. Selfless rather than selfish.
