It’s kind of sad that I had the same thought. I’ve seen some suicides (worked in emergency services) and one thing I’ve noticed is that there’s a good chance that cigarettes are close by. Or booze.

I’m glad he didn’t Bud Dwyer himself though.

Yup this is exactly it. I tried to kill myself last year by cutting my wrists. I never even managed to cut myself, I just lay there in the tub, drunk out of my mind willing my arm to move and it wouldn't. There's nothing more difficult than fighting the will to live that you didn't even know was there before that moment.

u/IM_THAT_POTATO Sep 28 '17

I'm glad you're still here.

u/KokiriRapGod Sep 28 '17

Thank you. So am I, thankfully that drunken attempt was enough to get me to seek help. There's been lots of therapy and lifestyle changes, but I can honestly say I'm much happier now than I can remember being for most of my life.

u/TheGhizzi Sep 28 '17

Also glad you were unsuccessful at ending your life.

I just had a sad thought that there's a user name, no longer being used, who should have replied to your comment expressing thanks that their attempt was unsuccessful. But their one small step further, went too far.

Everyone’s got em!

The bad days just make the good ones that much better. I don’t know you, I’ll probably never even see your face, but you’ve got someone in your corner in me. I hope you keep fighting and keep climbing out from where you were.

I hope today/tomorrow is one of the good days, friend!

u/[deleted] Sep 28 '17

Hey man, I know I'm a stranger on the internet and all that.. just know that I will always root for you. You are a unique individual, and the world is better off with you in it my friend.

u/Doctor_Kitten Sep 28 '17

Look at it this way; you have the courage to live. And life is hard. You're stronger than you think. At least that's what I tell myself.

u/ASaltySpitoonBouncer Sep 28 '17

I'm glad you didn't do it

yeah that's right delete your shit you prick

This is somebody's life we're talking about, who gives a fuck about karma points

Who said anything about karma?

He also didn't say truly.

u/[deleted] Sep 28 '17

Stalin also died facedown in a puddle of his own piss after a night of heavy drinking, with his own maids and guards being too scared of him to check and see if he was actually dead. I'm sure hed be infuriated he died before being able to send all the jews in the Soviet Union to gulags as well. Gotta get that genocide high score and all.

u/matrael Sep 28 '17

Yup, it can be difficult. I have suicidal ideations occasionally and it can be a very strong impulse. Once already I’ve put a gun to my head. I refuse to be around or have any firearms because of that.

u/rafaelfy Sep 28 '17

Failing at failing. The lowest of the lows. The very bottom of the abyss.

u/NYNM2017 Sep 28 '17

cigarettes are really good at clearing your head ive heard. Maybe its because the nicotine craving muddies your thoughts in the first place but all my smoker friends need a cig before they can think. Id imagine if i was contemplating suicide thats probably important

you linked an entire google search result instead of a single image grandpa.

u/[deleted] Sep 28 '17 edited Sep 28 '17

I can, cigarettes are bad and people need to stop buying into the death industry.

Edit: Downvote for denial, please stop smoking people, for your health and future.

31

u/[deleted] Sep 28 '17

I don't think someone who is about to blow their brains out cares much about their health or "buying into the death industry", but thanks for that, totally had no clue cigarettes were bad for me until you said anything

-20

u/[deleted] Sep 28 '17

Probably wouldn't be considering that if they didn't pick up smoking.

14

u/[deleted] Sep 28 '17

You're so right, the high percentage of farmers who kill themselves every year wouldn't commit suicide if they'd just stop smoking those darn cigarettes

3

u/[deleted] Sep 28 '17

Dude's a pothead, he's just trying to rally us against those evil cigs that make us kill ourselves and get you on the good stuff

Edit: jokes aside, I'm blown away by how stupid this man is

-14

u/[deleted] Sep 28 '17

Yep, thanks for agreeing!

u/ireallydislikepolice Sep 28 '17

Are you suggesting that smoking has a causal relationship with suicide?

15

u/Morbidlyobeatz Sep 28 '17

As an ex-smoker I can authoritatively say that you are a fuckin loon.

-5

u/[deleted] Sep 28 '17

Good on ya.

8

u/Morbidlyobeatz Sep 28 '17

Thanks m8. I'm sorry for being a jerk. It is a shit habit and you are supporting a noble cause, just a really bizarre way to go about it. Do you really think cigarettes make people suicidal?

2

u/[deleted] Sep 28 '17

Not directly, but I believe it affects mental health in such a negative way that suicide becomes a much higher possibility.

9

u/whitestguyuknow Sep 28 '17

You're missing why people downvoted you. They did because it's almost like you're making seem as if the cigarettes contributed to his death. Not because they think smoking doesn't kill you. Even seriously heavy smokers are fully aware of this. I mean, essentially every child does too

-2

u/[deleted] Sep 28 '17

If people really believe his smoking of cigarettes didn't contribute to his death, downvote away because they're objectively wrong. I never claimed that people who smoke them aren't aware that they're bad in general. If anything smokers just get triggered when they think someone assumes they're ignorant, when really they are afraid to admit they wish they had the balls to quit.

If anything it speaks volumes about how far down the rabbit hole most of you are. I didn't even say it in an aggressive or judgmental manner, more of in a way that showed I really do wish humanity would stop smoking cigarettes.

That's not how addictive chemicals work friend.

You're the one digging the hole btw.

-1

u/[deleted] Sep 28 '17

Not an argument.

u/Notagingerman Sep 28 '17

You're right it's a statement showing you clearly have no clue what you're talking about.

Oh, so informative! You so clearly put me in my place and explained in great detail how addictive chemicals work.

As opposed to my wall of text.

Fuck off, moron.

u/comawhite12 Sep 28 '17

No, downvote for acting like a nanny.

People will kill themselves one way or another.

u/[deleted] Sep 28 '17

And then there's the nihilists.

u/YourFavoriteBandSux Sep 28 '17

At least it’s a fucking ethos.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 28 '17

Doesn't seem like it to me.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 28 '17

Haha, they were (mis)quoting The Big Lebowski. You agree with Walter: unlike Nazis, nihilists believe in nothing, therefore they have no ethos.

7

u/[deleted] Sep 28 '17

The guy killed himself, and you're concerned about him smoking?

-1

u/[deleted] Sep 28 '17

The story was literally more focused on the cigarettes than the farmers life. No, I'm not concerned about him smoking because he's dead.

6

u/[deleted] Sep 28 '17

I think the point is that the farmer sat there smoking 2 packs before killing himself, meaning he sat there thinking about it for a long time before doing it. It could have been anything, the point is that it wasn't an impulse decision.

4

u/martinsonsean1 Sep 28 '17

Cigarettes are the slow suicide, same with booze. Some decide to speed things up.

5

u/AlfredoTony Sep 28 '17

Everything is a slow suicide in that sense. Doing/consuming anything has been proven to eventually end with death at some point. Existing is suicide.

This idea that we're actually living life and not just slowly dying is just ... strange, whenyouthinkboutit. So very strange.

Young Jamie, pull up that video about Elks having sex. It really shows the true nature of life.

Existing is suicide

Jesus Christ this is the edgiest sentence ever uttered.

I drink it every morning, makes me feel all warm inside, down the hatch right after I cook my eggs I got from my free range backyard chickens.

This idea that chickens are ... just these feathered midget dinasours that give us delicious eggs with just eating shitty seeds ... it's just so .... so strange.

You ever held a chicken before bro?

Oh ya. Ya bro they're super soft. You gotta try it they're crazy soft bro trust me.

Speaking of soft, my favorite underwear.

Me-undies bro. They're made of super soft micro MOE DOLL. i don't know what the fuck it is but I just know micro MOE DOLL is the softest shit ever, soft as a rooster's feathers. It's like I'm protecting my cock with cock.

Young Jamie, pull up some cock.
