I completely understand. And until you are in that person’s shoes, you will never understand.
Some people don’t get help, for a lot of reasons. And starting over, many times, is not an option.
Put this into consideration: you’ve just gotten a second divorced, you filed for bankruptcy four years ago so you can’t get a loan for anything, you’re unemployed and can’t find a job, unemployment won’t pay for anywhere near your debt, your kids won’t talk to you, you had a heart attack and you can’t pay for the medication, and to top it all off, you have depression that’s not treated.
Got an idea how to fix that?
I’m not saying that it’s the best option. I’m just saying, for some people, it seems like the only option.
And people who make blanket statements, like people who kill themselves are stupid, ignorant, lazy, etc. aren’t looking at the big picture.

I’ve always thought that if things really get as bad as they can possibly get, just running away and starting fresh is 10000x better than just ending it all. Leave the country, go to panama, change your name, do whatever.
I can see how it could get complicated once theres kids in the equation, how maybe them getting your life insurance would be better than you just running away, but still i just cant see suicide as ever being a viable option.
