Let’s talk about suicide for a moment

The idea that you don’t want to be here anymore is a fairly common feeling. If you are shocked by the levels of suicide in the world, you would be much more surprised if it was actually something easy to achieve. If there was only one pill you could take that would result in you falling asleep and never waking up again, there would be millions of people taking that pill every day.

Is it wrong to have suicidal thoughts?

No, it is not bad to think about it. I feel like most people in life have moments of depression that make them contemplate. The people who break hearts all over the world are the people who research the subject, plan it and achieve it.

If you are a person who has been left behind, forgive yourself; There’s nothing you could have done My brother is currently in deep depression and I know that if I woke him up right now and told him he had a suicide pill, he would take it right away.

I guess a lot of people resent that their friends took their own lives. If your friend was taking an antidepressant and he still took his own life, I really can’t think of much more than you could have done for him.

In 25 years of battling suicidal depression, I have found that my best defense is to be busy and have a reason to live. I make videos every week and write Christian books – I publish about one new book a month and this gives me a measure of hope; but my brother only watches TV and selects YouTube videos every day. You don’t really want to live.

I believe that faith helps, and it is good to know God, but even so, many people who know God take their own lives. In fact, I have found that being a Christian makes me want to go to heaven sooner, though suicide even more so.

I pray for you and your loved ones who are struggling. Just remember that people don’t kill themselves, suicidal depression kills people!

Many people take the blame that their loved ones leave this earth too soon, but it is not really their fault that the person has left. If you are in this position and you blame yourself, believe me, as a person who has wanted to commit suicide several times. It’s not your fault!
