“Suicide is a permanent remedy to a temporary problem.”<\/em> – Phil Donahue<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Reena felt suicidal, and her family tried many unsuccessful attempts to help her. Finally, a psychiatrist was able to provide the best possible treatment. She was suffering from severe depression<\/a> and SELF-HARM instincts that were leading her to suicide. This isn\u2019t the first time this has happened. One might have seen in the newspapers that a “woman in her late 20s committed suicide with her two young children.” We might wonder what prompted the woman to take such drastic measures, without even considering the innocent children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was much buzz around the sudden death of Sushant Singh Rajput<\/a>, which was deemed a suicide, and V G Siddhartha, founder of Cafe Coffee Day. It was a mystery to everyone why these people were able to take such an enormous step. After all, they were great achievers in their own lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All news outlets and newspapers get flooded with success stories, and sad stories about students who have committed suicide, as soon as the board exam results are announced. Then we talk about who is responsible, whether it is the parents, teachers, or the education system for the student who could not withstand the pressure of under performance. There may have been suicide reports from a couple, a battered wife, or anyone who felt depressed. We are left wondering what motivated them to take such a big step to end their lives. Sometimes we call them cowards. However, it is more difficult \u2026. to end one’s own life. Isn’t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The bravest thing that I did was to continue my life even though I wanted it to end.”<\/em> – Juliette Lewis<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A person who is in complete distress without any hope and the mood of doom persists for too long, much like a tragic, never-ending story, their suicidal instincts reach their peak. This forces them to make the final decision and leave their world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Counselors<\/a> often come across cases where people are feeling suicidal or have attempted suicide. Stress<\/a> is the main reason. This could lead us to conclude that the suicide attempt is a coward. It takes courage to commit suicide. It hurts so bad right! How can one take one’s life \u2026.?? The reason is that the inner pain of rejection or failure is so great that the external pain from Self Harm\/Suicide attempts seems like nothing. The pain of death is not fearable because of the inner pain of rejection and failure. Hence, people choose suicide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
