I think killing yourself takes either more cowardliness or courage, depending on the situation, than perhaps she could muster.
Dying on your couch, through lethal injection, at the age of 29, in a perfectly healthy physical body, while your loved ones look on, is in my mind the sign of a weak and forgettable person. Live meekly, I guess.
- happytoexplain 2y agoThe choice of the adjective "forgettable" crosses from plausibly genuine into low-quality territory. Regardless of my opinion on this specific case, the tendency toward petty insults (as opposed to understandable criticisms/emotions) about people who commit suicide is one of the more hideous among people's common faults.

- cooper_ganglia 2y agoI'll be honest, as someone who has literally had the gun in my mouth and the noose around my neck, I don't think calling someone forgettable is an insult, and certainly not someone whose greatest accomplishment was dying. In many ways, a desire to not die as a forgettable loser was what pushed me out of a dark, dark place to try and become something more than that. Because I was forgettable. If I had died then, my parents would remember and that's about it. That's what depression does to you, it makes you isolate, and then people stop physically seeing you, and then eventually people forget you entirely. You become forgettable. I think, had I heard it from the right voice at the right time, being told that killing myself made me weak and forgettable could've pushed me out of that half-a-decade-long rut sooner.
