I would not call it a good option, at least not until you have ruled our all other options together with a medical professional.

I know this is a community for unpopular opinions, but in case it is something you are actively considering, there is help to be found:

There are better options dependig on your reasoning but it certainly is a solution.

On some days i consider it but not right now. But thanks for the link.

No, it's by definition not a "good" solution; it's a last resort. I won't deny that sometimes there are no other options, but those situations are rare.

Something to think about, in case you're feeling suicidal: most suicides are done impulsively, and most people who survive suicide attempts regret making them. People tend to feel strongly suicidal for only about 15 minutes at a time. After that, the feeling tends to pass, so try to remember that if you do feel suicidal. The best thing you can do in those situations is either distract yourself or simply go to sleep, because that will allow time for the feeling to pass.

If you aren't in therapy, please consider seeking out a decent practitioner. Even if you've tried it before and not felt it was helpful. Sometimes it just takes finding the right therapist for you.

Best of luck. I know life can be really rough sometimes.

Suicide is a solution. It's definitely not a good one.

Stuff like this should be prohibited even on small and distant communities. You are harming people just by writing it.

You know this has already turned into Reddit when people are downvoting an opinion for being unpopular.

[-] WorkIsSlow@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

To be fair, this one could be dangerous. Other comments seem to acknowledge it is unpopular and explain why they disagree.

Additionally, the points/up votes don't do anything except express approval/disapproval and show engagement.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
