Dr. David Goldbloom on Suicide 

It is very hard to be here -- on this planet. Brutal for some.

I just don't get how life is worth it. Most people work low-paying jobs every day for 30+ years and for what? So they can pay for the car that they use to get to said job? So they can pay for the house that they spent away from all day because they're at work? It makes no sense.

I've been in constant severe pain for close to 20 years. Not chronic pain, constant pain. I'm tired of being treated like a 18 year old who just lost his first girlfriend

This world is so cruel……it won’t let you live and it won’t let you die…..

Lets be honest. Who wants to be here

Why live for people who will just walk away from you anyway when you don't wanna be here

Those who ruined you continue to live, they move on with their lifes, like nothing happened, they move on without you. and you are stuck, frozen in time and space for years. There is no movement anymore. No connection. You dont get better, no matter how much you try and how much efforts it costs you. Nothing matters anymore. You have nothing to lose, even they say you have. Like your life, and family. But when you lost yourself and lost God even such priceless things as life and family lose any value. The only thing why I still didn't kill myself is hell. It's crazy how hard life can get. One day you are a happy child, next day you are an adult who wishes be dead.

Suicidal people don’t actually want to die. We just want the pain to stop.

But what if mental illness has nothing to do with it? What if it’s because of actual circumstances?

I think the hardest part of dealing with depression and suicidal thoughts is that most people don't understand anything about it and they don't say the right things. As someone who deals with this regularly it gets very frustrating because so many people give me crap when I tell them how I feel but when they tell me I have nothing to be depressed about and dismiss me it makes me not want to open up at all. Then those same people complain that you get silent and don't let them in I just don't understand. I've experienced this with certain family members and it's excruciating. If you genuinely don't care about my struggles and what I'm going through and don't listen to me please don't expect me to open up to you or discuss it with you because I will not.

I just feel like I can't do this anymore 🧠

Being unloved is the saddest feeling

I don’t know exactly what the final straw is but I’m feeling it coming down the line

Suicide is not about being depressed.people need to stop thinking it is

Sometimes the hopelessness and dark emptiness of it all simply becomes overwhelming, it washes over everything and you just want it all the be over, you stop thinking and just let go. No more anything

They change their minds on their way down because of instincts. Nor because of logic

I just want to be gone

For many it's not depression. It's the material conditions - trying to survive financially in this sick capitalist system/society

My wife wanting divorce, lumbar surgery that may screw my career, I need a total hip replacement from osteonecrosis of femur and I'm only 42....you need to be able to have a way to back out of it like be able to stand up if you lower yourself etc....I wish I was just born a tree in some untouched forest, racing to sunlight and then falling without sound

Sometimes when your surrounded by people who don’t have your best interest and are just their to bring you down in life. You kind of find a getaway when you think about committing suicide. Unfortunately waking up in the morning is harder then trying to go to sleep. It never ends.

Pray that God will take my life. I always ask, and I never get my wish

Someone close to me jumped in a 10 feet pool, he's only 4'8 that time... we saved him though but after that incident, when we asked him how he is... he just stared into nothing and told us that he wondered how everyone thought who have had the same experience as him because from his perspective it feels "calm" and it's a lot "quieter" down there...

For me, it’s such a strange paradox. The first 20/25 years of my life were bliss. Then, my selfishness, irresponsibility, immaturity…whatever, resulted in dreadful (predictable but), dreadful consequences. Now, I wake up every day feeling as though the very fabric of the universe is repulsed by my continued existence.

I just want to rest.. I need rest so much and I can’t rest and my body and soul is in excruciating pain. That’s my reason to want to die, but I stay because of my dog and family

Tiredness tips them over. They’re just can’t fight anymore & think the fight will never end. Just tired

long term physical pain, no home , not much money left, no family and sooo much pain and two years of 2-3 hours of sleep or less a nigh

It is way too much I cannot to go on like this

Life is meaningless

I'm close to giving up.

I just want to encourage anyone out there who may be thinking about taking their own life not to. I know a lot of young people put a lot of pressure on themselves with both work and school but always rememeber you are precious to the Lord, God bless.

So true. My boyfriend had bipolar, was depressed, got drunk with his brother-in-law, and, hence, his guard was down. No resistance. He felt (obviously) wholly depressed and hopeless, and he was also drinking and therefore his normal resistance was definitely down- or gone. Thank you for your answers. I'll never know the entire truth- but this was helpful to hear.

Every suicidal knows that point when they hit their "last straw". Thats the moment you realize the ppl you care about and don't wanna see you expired don't matter anymore. Honestly no purpose and reason to live is an existential hell for me

Being on this planet has been the worst thing ever, being a college graduate in a foreign country where no one will hire you, cast to fend for yourself only cause you left your country for a better life - what other option do I now have than to take my own life?

I surrender all the pain, the darkness, the grief and the self judgement. I am ready to have it all transmuted to joy, comfort, bliss, miracles, magic, beauty, happiness, and strength, and aliveness...

I just wake up early day in and day out to work a crappy job with long hours with crappy pay doing tedious mind numbing tasks all day Then I go home and I’m just alone. What am I suppose to do? How am I suppose to he happy in a life like? I’m already at the point where I just don’t want to take it anymore.

We have homelessness. Low income. Cannot afford things the way we used to. They don't talk about that

“What’s the final straw?” There is no straw, there is nothing,

In my opinion, the idea of suicide crosses everyone's mind especially a person with a mental illness or substance addiction. Talking about suicide and mental illness is a way in understanding it more and breaking the stigma attached. By talking about it, the sharing of the experience of the human mind brings a little more comfort to the individuals. Improving the quality of life takes both parties and not only the single individual's actions can achieve success.

Am I the only one that gets excited at the idea of death? I find it like the only source of light and the only thing I want in my life? Dont' you guys agree? Ppl areound me disagree and it's so weird

My husband committed suicide because he was in so much pain

The whole world hates me, and I am alone. What's the point of trying anymore, just to keep failing?

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but suicide is taking your pain and giving it to the people who love you. I’ve had suicidal thoughts all my life, and this is how I deal with them..

really think do you really wanna be here ??

In your experience ???? Come on throw that depression word around some more!!! All your doing is making money of people using a worn out phase.......

Loosing, failure, embarrassments, drugs and relationships are some of the leading causes of suicide followed by some sort of mental illness...but the bad part is that moments before suicide nobody thinks about their family so they only think about themselves

I don't like anything in this world I feel like die daily

I was adopted and it never bothered me until adult life. I just feel I float in life no roots no future. I'm just here. I always had awful anxiety from a child that's left me in a dead end job just because I can't push myself to better it. The anxiety and low confidence has already killed me. I watch the world and how people carry on in life and I just can't be that person to get ahead in life. I feel like I'm in some experiment and I'm watching from the outside looking in. I know I'll end things before nature decides. I just don't know when down the road that will be.

It crosses my mind almost everyday. I’m bipolar and it’s the relentless hopelessness and futility.

Can someone talk to me

It’s just fitting that the medication has so many adverse side effects too. Trading off one set of unpleasant realities for another.

I sometimes think of ending my life when i realize my parents and doctor had my foreskin removed at birth and i will never know what the physical act of love actually feels like. WHY DONT YOU TALK ABOUT THAT DOCTOR?!

I wouldn't change my mind

We'll likely never know but I wonder how much meds play into it. Some meds help numb everything so you are always just "okay" but the side effects of others can make you manic and feel that much worse. Some drugs to reduce SI will actually react bad and make it much worse. Yet the doctors (psychiatrists) can sleep easy blaming there mood that caused it not the new med they prescribed.

They pay psychiartrist all this money but are they really helping people. Is the mdication they provide working or is it another drug that makes your body depenedent on it and die if you dont take it

800,000? And it's voluntary. Consensual. It's very popular then. Definitely trending! Must be have something going for it. Worth a look. Thanks for the heads up.

There is another way to solve a problem besides suicide. It is to do the most basic things to ensure that you can breathe, eat, and have a place to sleep. The other things can be solved later.

Im thinking about it now. Fuck this shit. Fr,

My life is brutal, hurtful pointless I'm showing signs of liver problems from my drinking I'm very aware of what's happening .fly little butterfly fly

I find this extremely insulting, in terms of reinforcing the stereotypes of suicidal people into simplistic characatures sp? that DO NOT ALWAYS FIT. And that means so many will never find hope. To substitute (and paraphrase) 'drugs and alcohol can lower the barriers that would allow people to be more susceptible to acting on that impulse' for real understanding, or even attempts to understand is extremely offensive to me because it just tells me this is what you are content to believe. Yet, this has not reduced the suicide rates, so theres that slight detail you leave out.

Terrible awful chronic pain and no help from doctors

Wrong. Thinking of/considering suicide does not render a person depressed..it’s often a light speed glance. Of course it’s a fucking option. Don’t tell me only the depressed think of this. Sadness alone doesn’t kill or cause depression.

Or, they could just be fucking drained, Dr. Like me. NOTHING is changing!!!!! Ok?

If doctors would help people with chronic pain we would want to live, pain medication something

Medication will push the influence out but the influence needs to be given direction and science cannot do this.

For anyone who is feeling like this remember the worst thing to do is be alone with your thoughts. Reach out asap or if you don't feel comfortable and are by yourself go to a 24 hr shopping center or other places with people. Nothing better will come staying by yourself unless you can safely fall a sleep.

im just alive today .it’s been nice knowin ya

These people can literally have you molested if they think it will help you. They can set up any situation in your life to probe you or try and figure you out. Have you physically assaulted or anything else its crazy.

What’s the point of life anyways!

I’m ready to go

I’ve got maybe another week

Eh. I would end it right now if I absolutely knew it would be instant and would for sure kill me. I know if I suffered, my bodily response would be to attempt to try and keep myself alive, but I know that’s just a reactionary thing.

Why or why not 😂😂 people only truly understand stand it when they get to that point themselves and come back to tell about it discovering that ultimately your life is truly yours and you can choose to take it or choose to live is a very powerful thing most people never experience this and there for will never truly understand It or they just don’t get that we just want the pain to go away it never stops like for me I’m a whoops baby I didn’t ask to be hear mom was abusive used me for a paycheck was an outcast in school and have continued to be an OutKast most my life I relapsed last night burnt myself I’m a burner then got a bottle wasn’t going to went for a snack and they didn’t have it so I guess that was the trigger or maybe the isolation no I know what it is I’m a wage slave 😂 when back to my storage shed started drinking I’m not proud of it then I almost hunt myself out of no wear I’m like hey lest not do this so I left I’m like why don’t I reach to my so called friends I been there for them well the only person who answered was my ex and that didn’t go well she basically let me down pretty hard I’m like ok I’ll go to a friends house but who the one I know that won’t judge me darn there not home I’m like well I’ll reach out some more know one answered I’m spinning but this time tell myself I just need someone to talk me down call some more no answer then I call one last number by this time I’m like well last shot then I’m headed out it rings and rings then finally she answered the fucking homeless lady that lives in her car says hello I’m like hey thanks for picking I said I need you to talk me down she did for an hr needless to say I’m recovering the next day I put the suicide hotline in my contacts don’t tell someone your there for them when you know there going threw a hard time and then not pickup when it’s late at night and they keep calling you gave them hope then when they needed it well you wer not there don’t offer if your not gunna be there I realize now I’m alone and I might need to call someone again and we’ll I didn’t want to put the sucide hotline in my phone but last night I was close and no one cares and the people that said they did proved it I’m not shure when the urge will happen again I’m just gunna call the hotline and talk to some random person and spill it out maybe they will care because there getting paid to just shut up and listen It’s a sad world The gilt Self hate The shame The disappointment in myself Fear of judgment from others People who have never attempted self harm or sucide don’t get it there like it’s a cry for attention There immature but really it’s the feeling of something that is hard to put into words it’s a constant pain that won’t go away some days it’s not as strong other days it’s unbearable now I’m counting the days again Think of it Plan it Set it up Then the catalyst

All I want is people to learn that some people think can you talk about that I don’t want to talk about that I will really don’t want to talk about that some I’ve been doing that for years it’s hard to think about it just calling to me in and I don’t want to think like that I don’t

Oh so and so was sad here n there? Oh shit! He had depression! No no no, not always. Sometimes people just snap and make an awful decision

I have lost all attraction for men. I say to myself no one could possibly love you or want you. I have accepted that and I spend a lot of time with myself 😂. I wish things could be different but that is pure fiction. smh 🤦🏼‍♀️.

Life is not easy, but we hv to enjoy every moment. ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏

God help me

Even lowtiergod fans are putting emoji like this "🌩⚡️👨🏿⚡️🌩" it was so mean.

wow what a brilliant sample though

I unintentionally road raged a young lady I was trying to get home. I have been a diabetic sence 1990 trying to get past a motorist my sugar was so low driving I felt I was going to pass out. My horn honking was a nusence. The people later caught up with me and slashed my tires 3 times. Witch I was sorry for the rage and there action, I was in full blown panic. Scucide was my answer, I gave myself 1 half of bottle of humalog and went to sleep and hoped I never woke up. I woke up , now im apologizing to my family and scared to death someone will kill me. I don't derserve life anymore and will one day succeed to end my life

I'm 22 had so much going for me developed skitzophrenia lost my family and girlfirend I don't know how I'm gonna continue

bye world

i dont think anyone truly wants to commit suicide, they want things to get better, but whether it be due to the actual reality or the PERCIEVED REALITY they feel they have no choice. for many many many cases there is and always will be a way out of that mindset, but for others such as people in burning buildings and being cornered on the tip of a cliff.. they dont have a choice. for most people its really in their heads and i know thats controversial to say these days especially to younger generations, but its true. its the perception that might not always be the reality for some. i mean this in the most helpful way and if it offends someone i apologize, but from my point of view, it's stayed consistently true.

No this has been the intent of the gang stalkers for 14 years. All she has to do is show up. Wtf is the matter with this world?

i´m about to so i could tell you.... But i wont, and no one cares. 🙃

helpful

The comments, WOW

😢🎉

(Someone wants to go out and get killed which would be Person #1) Person #1: (whispering) I’m going out to get hit by a vehicle. Person #2: (after hearing the whisper and therefore holding onto Person #1 super tight) No! Don’t leave this place! Person #1: SHUT THE (bleep) UP AND LET GO OF ME! LET GO! LET GO, PLEASE! (Person #2 persistently shakes his/her/their head.) Person #1: OHH, I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! Person #2: Why? Person #1: BECAUSE YOU WON’T SET ME FREE! YOU’RE ONLY HOLDING ME PRISONER BY KEEPING ME ALIVE!!!!!!!!!

Get yourself a proper job

I dont want to live but i get up everyday for no reason 😢

Not to take away from the subject matter, but he has to be jeff goldblooms relative right? Sounds just like him.

As someone who's survived an incredibly serious suicide attempt that should've killed me and left me in hospital for weeks I can tell you people don't change their mind out of some sudden permanent shift towards loving life. It is simply fear of the pain. Once that disappears the thoughts come back. It's disgusting that we don't have the "right to die". Our freedoms have been robbed by those with reasons to live, who couldn't possibly understand.

When you realize no one cares
