why?
Are there too few humans for you? sheesh

I sincerely hope that you are just trying to be edgy and haven't seriously developed that mentality.

Wouldn't it be cool if one of the traits that came with suicidal feelings was an urge to just want to save lives that wanted living? Like, "suicide" didn't mean you tried to meaninglessly kill yourself .. it just meant you were more than willing to risk yourself to save someone else.

Random thought..

#9 to #2 - thegoblingamer ONLINE (07/28/2015) [-]

Funny you say that, but I've actually dreamed of sacrificing myself to save someone else.
I had suicidal depression for a long time, still do just a LOT more under control, but I convinced myself that I can't just take my own life like that. It'd be a waste. But if I could die in the process of saving someone, I totally would.

#11 to #10 - thegoblingamer ONLINE (07/28/2015) [-]

Thankya. It's getting a lot better. Shed my old "friends", feel a lot more confident and genuinely happy.

#12 to #11 - hashtronaut (07/28/2015) [-]

thats good man, environment change definitely helps a lot of times.

I laugh at myself sometimes because I used to be all ready to give up in my early/mid teens and now at 26 i call that **** the good ol days. For me though, it was making music.. that just gave me something to do with my day all those years back while I was drinking and smoking and **** . I had a reason to roll out of bed every day.

Now, I mean.. I still drink and smoke and make music but that's because it's what makes me happy. Back home nearly all my old friends either went through serious addictions like heroin or are still in them TRYING to find that happiness

#17 to #12 - thegoblingamer ONLINE (07/28/2015) [-]

Oh yea, I feel ya. My friends didn't do that **** , they were just horrible to me, but I stuck with them because I thought it was my only choice. Honestly it was an emotionally abusive relationship. I was like an abused spouse who didn't leave because they thought it was the best it was gonna be.
I stayed away from anything addicting for fear that I'd get caught up in it and use that to reach happiness, which I knew to be destructive but inviting.

#19 to #17 - hashtronaut (07/28/2015) [-]

see, i had those kind of friends.. as well as ones only around when it benefited themselves, AND real friends whom I'm still close to as I can be through facebook lol but, a few years back I moved from CO to KS to take care of family so.. even the good friends had to get left behind in a sense. But, it also got the toxic ones out of my life as well.

#138 to #10 - headhunternl (07/29/2015) [-]

I've never really been suicidal, but other than that, same.

#163 to #9 - hurzg (07/29/2015) [-]

I'm having depression times from time to time in the last three years. I always had school related-personality related depressions and for the first time in my life I've had a crush I opened up to (I'm 22). She rejected in a very polite way but I now feel really bad but nowhere close to suicidal. How did your depression days go? Could you accept it at some point and did your daily work no matter what?

#192 to #163 - thegoblingamer ONLINE (08/06/2015) [-]

We all remember Robin William's death. Here's a man that had a lot to live for, but he didn't. His depression got the better of him.
When that happened, it opened up my eyes to me never "curing" my depression, just getting better at coping with it.
Just don't become cold to feelings like I did. Be glad you HAVE feelings for this girl because I haven't felt that in years. I let a broken heart get the better of me and now I wish I had a girl that I cared about.
I'm steadily improving though . I have friends now that I'm starting to care for and it's good to have emotions back.
My depression days were... well... depressing. I accepted that I have it because it helps put things in more of a perspective. I don't use it as a crutch and I'm very open about it with others (depression + a silent host = a dead host) and then they open up to me about their problems. I'm at the point where depression is just part of me, but it doesn't define who I am. I don't let it do that.

#205 to #192 - alucord (10/15/2015) [-]

How are you doing buddy?

#193 to #192 - hurzg (08/06/2015) [-]

Same, things became a lot better when I started to smile to everybody and spend time with friends.

#139 to #9 - demonsora ONLINE (07/29/2015) [-]

100% man, i could care less about my own future at this point, but if i can help improve someone else's.... hell yeah i would die

#53 to #9 - friedpotato (07/28/2015) [-]

Become an organ donor, have a healthy life, then choose again. You could save many lives or eventually get out of the bad mind set and live a long and full life to still save a lot of people when you finally die

#90 to #53 - thegoblingamer ONLINE (07/29/2015) [-]

Yea, I'm an organ donor . I feel like it's stupid not to be one.

#156 to #90 - friedpotato (07/29/2015) [-]

You're automatically one in my country unless you say so, i think its a great idea

#71 to #2 - ilikeweed (07/28/2015) [-]

well actually there are different types of suicide. 4 actually. the suicide you're talking about is called altruistic suicide. which basically means you're committing suicide for the benefit of others. there's also egoistic, anomic, and fatalistic suicide. i like sociology.

#54 to #2 - scozie (07/28/2015) [-]

Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if a large amount of suicides were due to people believing that killing themselves would solve problems for other people - maybe even saving their lives.

#55 to #2 - rainwaterenema (07/28/2015) [-]

That exists, it's actually a kind of anxiety/depression. Basically you feel everyone else is worth more than you, and chemicals related to compassion and other empathy-related emotions are much higher than average.

#131 to #55 - trogdorrules (07/29/2015) [-]

**** , I feel like that all the time. **** ..

#121 to #2 - AztecJew (07/29/2015) [-]

I've always felt that best way I could die is in a way that saves or helps as many people as possible. Even if it just gave them a chance.

#26 to #2 - iamslender (07/28/2015) [-]

There is a word for that. It's called being a hero.

#34 to #26 - mrcrocodile (07/28/2015) [-]

actually it is called martyrdom

#36 to #34 - alfrsa (07/28/2015) [-]

According to Merriam-Webster it's the suffering of death on account of adherence to a cause and especially to one's religious faith.

I watched it for the 1st time last week. I really enjoyed it until the end, which I found to be pretty anticlimactic.

#68 to #3 - ikeman ONLINE (07/28/2015) [-]

The movie is actually based of the book by Sol ****** . The original gang "The Warriors", was an all African American gang in the book.

I've been trying to find a hard back cover of that book... $200-$500

#117 to #88 - ikeman ONLINE (07/29/2015) [-]

I was lucky enough to find a copy of it at a Barnes and Noble several years back, only one they had at the time. It's a good read.

WHY ARE WE NOT FUNDING THIS???

The US already pays farmers not to grow crops, why can't it pay a little more and require them to grow this? The farmers can then turn it into fertilizer and/or animal feed then sell that, making even more money. What is the downside? It also looks soft as **** so the kids can go out and play in it or whatever

#6 to #4 - lean (07/28/2015) [-]

it grows on water/swampland, and doesn't survive the winter. Also, if you plant a square foot in ideal conditions a month later you will have 420,000 square feet, taking over 90% of the other plant life.
