Does suicide provide a societal release valve? John Doe 12/13/15 (Sun) 05:09:07 427836 No.12968

I saw a post a while back that it was o.k. to post about the politics of suicide.

I was looking through homicide and suicide rates for various countries, and while there do exist countries with lower homicide and suicide rates, I was not able to find a country with high homicide and suicide rates. A country with a high homicide rate tended to have a low suicide rate, and a country with a high suicide rate tended to have a low homicide rate.

So, do you think suicide provides a societal release valve? That if suicide is not permitted (through use of Baker's Acts, gun bans, etc.), that it will instead find its way out through homicidal incidents?

For me, yes. I've always been a violent and angry individual that has run away from or ruined every opportunity to advance myself in society. From a young age to present I've found myself in depressive episodes and fits of rage and self harm. Learned to use humor as an escape and even netted me a few friends, but I always make sure one way or another that I sever those bonds brutally. It's like I get off on building myself and others up just to knock them down. No idea why, but I'm sick of running on the hamster wheel. Time to get off.

Started to see that me and people like me infest the world like a ball of maggots in a wound. I don't really like myself, nor do I really like others. My last attempt I didn't give a shit about my family or my friends, the only thing that stopped me was the thought of all the vidya I could miss out on if I killed myself then and there. That's it, that is all that really stopped me besides a distant fear of hell.

The mal-adaptive are very well aware they are mal-adaptive, secretly we all wish for death one way or another.

I don't know about you, but I've always struggled to express deep feelings to others. I've come to the belief that I do things like this because it's the best way I know of letting others and myself know how I feel. Angry and upset.

The fact that I do this to myself is saddest of all. Am I really such an incapable human being that I can't even communicate and express my feelings to myself? I have to hurt myself just to let myself know how I feel? I have to destroy what little happiness I can gather just to find out what's inside me?

What's wrong with me? For god's sake, what's wrong with me? Why do I feel like this? And why can't I let it out in a way that doesn't hurt me or others?
