Suicidal? or Know Someone Suicidal?

Suicidal people often don't seem like suicidal. You may see a happy-to-go person as always happy at 02:43 PM and at 06:32 PM you receive a news about that person hanging himself. How do you imagine a Suicidal person? A depressed traumatic anxious sleep-deprived smelly guy who doesn't seem fun, it's all a gloomy dark blue aura around him, and it seems better to not talk with him. Naah, it's not like it, it is not always them, you may have so-called emo friends or goth friends who always gives a feeling of suicide, but they are still alive and talking to you even today, being friendly with you without planning to die until old age, and then you might have friends who are always comedic, tell jokes to you, always cheerful, having not even a glimpse of sadness on their face, it is always fun with them, and then you hear one day they jumped off from the roof of their four-storey building.

People don't suicide without any reason, there can be any reason, actually many reasons and I'd be writing little about them here.

Why do People Suicide?

1. Suiciding when you feel as an outcast

There are mainly 4 reasons I will be listing, but the first three are the most common. The first type of reason is when you feel as an outcast to the society. You feel like you are of no worth in this society, you seem to be a creep, you seem to be a weirdo, you think why the hell are you even there, you feel like you don't belong there. At this point you think it is better to end your own life and free your society from an outcast. You try to free yourself from loneliness in this case.

2. Suiciding according to your situation

The next type of reason is when there are some serious stuff going around your family (mostly), it is like when you are in a financial crisis, or you are having a disease that can't be cured or needs a lot of money to treat that you cannot provide, or you suddenly get a deep trauma. At this point you think you have nothing left, and it is better to kill yourself rather than making others suffer. It is so sudden and unexpected, even you may not figure out even after dying what you did.

3. Suiciding due to pressure or not being able to meet expectations

It is the type of suicide Kota, Rajasthan is famous for. I guess you all know about this suicide, but still I will write about it a bit. It is when you find that you are not able to meet the expectations of people and you seem to be useless. There's a pressure on your brain that you need to meet the expectations of people that know you, and if you don't they will disregard you. People often go in depression in this case and they end their life at the end.

4. Suiciding for the sake of the country or community

It is the type, where people kill themselves for the country or their community, or kill themselves following a ritual. I guess I will not explain it much but rather give examples. Like the Japanese Kamikaze pilots, the Plane Hijackers of 9/11, the Sri Lankan lady who killed Rajiv Gandhi, or the Burari Deaths. These examples are fine enough to make you understand this reason. It is not so common for common people to suicide because of this though.

That was all about the types of reason people do suicide for y'all.

Is Suicide the Final Option?

No, doing suicide is not the final option you have. You think you're an outcast to your society? It's the wrong society you live in, leave your society, find people like you, they will be just like your family, you will find rays of hope from then on, and lead a good life ahead. You are feeling hopeless? Why not pray to God, seek for hope, try to live on bare minimum for a few days? People who are in more miserable conditions than you are smiling and living. Feeling pressure on your head? Can't meet the expectations of the people? Don't try to do things that you can't. Do things that you can. People keeping expectations from you, ask them for apology, because the work they want you to do, you are not able to do it, the work does not interest you. They will be angry at first, but will understand your situation, and forgive you and let you do the work you want to do. I cannot say anything for the people doing the 4th one, as they are patriots, and patriots will do anything for the love of their country, for their community. People who fall in some kind of barbaric rituals or superstitions, please don't fall for them, they are not worth it.

Do you think killing yourself will make the life of your family better? No, never, not. Before killing yourself just think about your caring mother, your inspiring father, your lovely lover, your playful siblings, your cute pets. Think about the things you could do while living, enjoy your favourite music, movies, literature, tv series, tasting your favourite food, the Panipuris of that stall you went in that day, the Samosas of that sweet shop you ate once, the Pav Bhaji of that cart guy. Just think about these atleast once before suicide.

And with this I end here. I hope you understand it, and smell ya' in the next blog. Till then, Adios!
