Why?

Why do people commit suicide?

In a nutshell, the most common reason is depression or other mental illness. Those who have never suffered real, clinical depression have no idea how painful it is. They lose their souls. Their brain is going 100 mph constantly, telling them they are shit, that they're worthless. Many leave because they feel they're doing their loved ones a favor.

There is also what is called 'impulsive' or 'impulse' suicide. These are spur-of-the-moment decisions that will pass quickly if there are no means to kill themselves with. This phenomenon was noticed in England after they did away with gas ovens. The suicide rate went way down because people couldn't stick their heads in their ovens to commit suicide anymore!

There are so many reasons, but these are the main two recognized. More later.
