Ok so I just finished this book called "You Know Where to Find Me". I t was a quick read (I started it this morning), but I liked it very much. It is by Rachel Cohn, who helped write Nick and Norah's infinite playlist, which was a great book.

All I can say is that if you want to kill yourself ( which I highly suggest you don't, and implore you not to) and nothing will change your mind, not therapy not anti depressants not family and friends, than DO NOT TAKE PILLS TO KILL YOURSELF! This book has taught me that taking pills is not a peaceful way out. In almost all cases of overdoses, the person does not die from the drug itself. Their body tries to get rid of the poison by making you throw up, but because the drugs have rendered you numb and pretty much unmoving, you choke on your vomit, which gets into your lungs and you die a painful and gruesome death.

Now that I am on the subject of suicide, I have to give you my opinion (bare with me I might go off on a tangent here). Some people might argue that if the person is going through that much pain and suffering that they shouldn't have to live anymore, and although I see their point and will sometimes agree with it depending on the day, right now I disagree. I do not have personal experience but I know people who have had their friend or family member kill themselves, and it is extremely selfish. Once you are gone, the people you left behind, everyone you have ever touched, are in turmoil. They will blame themselves for not stopping you, maybe they might blame themselves for your pain, even if it was not their fault. Not just that but they will miss you more than is imaginable. It is not fare to put others, your loves ones through that much pain.

tell me what you think

....... That was kind of graphic at the begining. O_O Allow me a second to get those images out my mind.

Alright. Now my opinion is also that suicide is bad, and I think everyone agrees until they have suicidal thoughts themselves. Killing yourself is bad, and should never happen.

I would not want just kill myself like that. But if I ever DO have suicidal thoughts (which I hope I never do), I now know not to use pills. O_O

I've just recently read the Bell Jar by Slyvia Plath, which is also about suicide. Set in the 1950s, the main character tries several different unsuccessful ways to kill herself, including pills. She goes to a mental hospital and is cured, but at the end she knows that her madness could return at any time.
