suicide is about anger (most notes when left which is rarer than people think is full of hate filled rants if a note is left at all) and yes of course mental illness can contribute. lots of the time alcohol or drugs are involved, almost 2/3's roughly of the time and it causes them to make a decision they might not otherwise. two years ago my wife's 15 yo cousin committed suicide in the woods in his own backyard by hanging himself. he told his mother he was going to go do it and she didn't believe him and let him go. when he didn't return he said he just ran away and wouldn't let the police search in any serious fashion. she tried to still claim him on her taxes. after more time passed the police forced on her a more serious search with cadaver dogs and found that the tree he hung himself from had fallen over and covered the body with leaves. sometimes people are just so angry they don't make good choices and unfortunately some people don't have any real support system or outlet and then it's just to late. iv'e never known a person who committed suicide personally but she has had at least six family members who have that i can think of right off the top of my head three of which occurred while we were together. i do't think any of them cowards. i do understand why people think this though as they are also most of the time angry themselves and it's often a way to guard themselves against there own anger and feelings of powerlessness. it's a hard thing to understand and when you do you often just don't wanna or can't. it's a draining experience.
i only read the last couple of posts and felt compelled to post myself but i'd like to express empathy for anyone who's had to deal with suicide or suicidal thoughts. sometime's calling suicide cowardly is a way for a person to deal with there own feeling's of suicide and to guard against them. it's also not a cowardly act. now off to bed.
