The last thing a person suffering from depression or anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder or somesuch needs is to be told how selfish they are for not continuing to suffer, suffer, suffer.
That kind of talk in and as itself is selfish, and accomplishes nothing.

I have to agree with this statement.
I have seriously considered it many times. Most of them I was talked out of it by a true friend. One time a friend walked in during my consideration of it and made me promise her to find a way to make it until the next day. It made me realize what I was considering and that I needed help. Later on when I couldn't find the help I wanted, I conisered it again, and was determined to do it, but was talked out of it before I had finished prepairing for it. After that I found a bit of help, and have been slowly getting better.
I won't go into any more detail due to the ignorance some people here have shown towards this matter. Considering suicide doesn't make you an idiot. Thinking that someone is an idiot for considering suicide is pure ignorance. To those of you who assume that someone is an idiot for considering/attempting suicide, I guess there are some things that you just wouldn't understand until you've been there. Also, sometimes those who are suffering and considering it are not those who you would expect it from. Some people are good at hiding things like that from everyone except a select few.

That's quite a generous offer there Halx. Sometimes all someone needs is someone to talk to who won't judge them or put them down for their thoughts.
