Suicide like the warden in Shawshank checking out before he got raped in prison is the cowards situation but mental health suicide is a whole different ballgame yet folks act like mental illness is contagious or just brush it off. Spend some time with workers in a facility and you will get a much better view on just how tough things can be.

This.

But so many ignorant people will not understand this as they see suicide in a black and white view. There's no gray area or middle ground to them. They're just not educated enough or actually experienced it. Mental illness and depression can actually be a big bitch that will frick your shite up yet people act like you can wait it out like its a common cold. The basic huan instinct of self preservation is one of the most intense and strongest things a human has so it takes a hell of a lot of force to overcome that and actually pull the trigger.
