Some days i get so depressed that i think about my life, what ive made of myself, and what im waisting. i feel that im not making anythin of my exsistance, like im a waist of air.
do you think that its alright to end your own life in the though that what you leave behind can help so many people, and in turn by ending your own pain that wasnt doing the earth any good can save so many peoples lifes that WANT to live, and enjoy what someone else couldnt enjoy!?
obviously you can't tell me your plans, but most (and probably all) sucides cannot/will not be used for organ donation~think of the drugs in the body etc,
some states/countries will require a post mortem on suicides, to ensure that it wasn't murder or natural causes.
alos, if you are on any medication currently, then it is probable that your organs could not be used anyway.
you can help the world a lot more by staying alive babe.

if everyone cared and nobody cried, if everyone loved and nobody lied, if everyone shared and swallowed their pride, we'd see the day that nobody died
There are other ways to be of service. Can you donate blood? That would help people yet leave you here. If you can think about helping people, you are so awesome!

In forgiving others, we are not exonerating them. They may not deserve exoneration. Rather, in forgiving others we are giving up our anger over the fact that what happened is not what "should" have happened or that our life is not the way it "should" have been.
If you're on any medications that would prevent you from donating blood, then definitely your organs wouldn't be usable anyway for the same reason.
When people feel like hurting themselves, they often try to rationalize why the world would be better of without them, and I know it sometimes feels like it's true, but it's actually a symptom of depression. I promise you that you can do more good by staying alive than you could by dying.
Maybe you could try doing some volunteer work. You can help more people that way than you ever could by dying, and you also won't be hurting the people who care about you. Your profile says you're a dancer, so maybe you can help people by volunteering to preform someplace like a retirement home or hospital, or by teaching a free dance class for underprivileged kids. Or maybe you want to do something else entirely. Even something as simple as reading with little kids for half an hour a week can make a huge difference in people's lives.

you can donate blood in the US while on psychiatric medications. You cant if you take some acne medications, some hair loss medications, antibiotics, a more complete list is here http://www.redcross.org/services/bio...7_,00.html#med

And as far as the others have said.. most forms of suicide basically destroy the organs that can be transplanted, plus the organs need to be harvested fresh, and if a person is found hours later its too late.
mental illness can be treated.. often it takes time.. I've been under treatment for 4 years, i still get down and think of suicide, but i am feeling overall alot better. the thoughts of suicide arent as often, or as intense as they used to be. You can help others in so many ways.. I have been able to help others with mental illness by being a friend who understands what it is like to feel that way, help them not feel so lonely, help them get through the day. I've found it very satisfying when a friend ive made has told me that i've been able to help them. you can feel that way too, just give it a chance.. keep fighting, things can get better.
please stay safe and take care,

Very interesting discussion. I also commend you for thinking of others at a time like that. I hope from your not posting in this thread for a while that you saw the brighter side of life.
In the vein of your thoughts, however, I did come across an article that seemed to be of the same mind.
Suicide isn't the answer. You can donate your organs and die a natural death, after you've moved on from depression. I'm sorry, I agree that organ donation & saving lives are a good thing but I think pushing it along with suicide is plain wrong.
That said, Rachie, I know you're going through a difficult time and the fact you're thinking about others is admirable, however I urge you to continue on with your life so you don't hurt those around you who love and care, and turn your life into something you are proud of and can help other people with.
I didn't mean to direct my original statement towards you, just the article. I think life is worth fighting for - and given your lovely compassionate attitude I really believe you can have a lovely life ahead of you, and taking your compassion & kindness from the world would be such a shame.
Be strong - it's clear you're a lovely person, I'm sorry things are so hard for you right now.
It is interesting, and i must admit a thought that has crossed my mind before. but really its not the answer is it? becuase you are worth so much more than suicide and there are so many other ways you can help people while you are living. i find that helping people can actually make me feel better and can help to distract me when i'm feeling bad. and i'm in some small way hopefully making a difference.
take care x

Hey, I can tell that you do have a place in life just by this thread that you have made and the few words that you have said. i mean already i can see that you are a tottally self-less person, by thinking about how you could make others lives better with organ donations by sacrificing your own life! But tbh i think that to give your life up for others is a too big sacrifice and it might just be me but, i think that you could give as much being alive and working with people to make there lives better, instead of making peoples lives better through suicide!
i also think that you are going to find a purpose in life and suicide is not the answer. There is so much out theer to go see and do.. if you want to help people there are so many jobs out there which will help you to do that and help you do find purpose by helping others and seeing them depend on you and your love that you can give.
I hope that you are getting help at the momnet and if not I wish desperately that you could see your gp and get somebody to asses you and try to help you! xxx
Here is an angel of healing i drew for everyone needing that extra hope... God bless you all and i wish you a speedy recovery...
