When you combine the silly season, with a lot of debt and pressures, and combine it with a lot of people who are out of work and coming to the end of their benefits, it can be a lethal combination for some who are just looking for a way out.

A lot of us at one time or another have looked at that way out as a solution. A lot of people have looked at life as unbearable and a long gloomy tunnel to nowhere and have thought that its easier to get off of that track.

A lot of people think that if they make a clean exit that eventually it will be easier on their family and friends because they won't be causing problems or strife anymore.

A lot of people's mental pain or depression is as real pain wise as a broken limb or a massive deep cut that will never ever heel and anything is better.

That's the crux of depression and suicide thoughts. People can feel like depression will never end, and the financial problems or other pressures are a burden not only on themselves or others, and in a twisted sense they also believe that people don't care about them or their problems. So they suffer in silence, until finally and completely ending the problem no matter what the unknown is looks like the best and most possible solution to ending their problems.

The questions that are asked, "will death hurt?", "What happens after we die?', "Will anyone miss me or cry for me?", and in some twisted way "Will my death make the people that made me suffer, suffer like I have?", have an answer that pales beyond the answer that "I won't have to suffer anymore"

Life is worth fighting for, it really is, but sometimes we all need help to see that and understand that, and realize that no matter what the problem is, its not worth destroying yourself, or your loved ones.

I've said it before, there's help out there if anyone needs it, sometimes, we just need a sympathetic ear, or a calming influence to talk you off of that hypothetical ledge. If your not comfortable talking to family, or friends, or a cleric, or a coworker, then the distress line is the best way to go.
