Originally posted by mjgoodthere are many types of suicidal persons ... the ones who want to stop their suffering ( intractable pain in terminal cancer patients for example ) , the depressed patients ( and cannot handle their mourning, the loss of a beloved one, a divorce , unemployed people, with economical problems...) the schyzophrenic and other types of psychotic patiens ( who listen and follow the order to kill themselves ) and the altruistic ones ( for example : those with economical problems who wish to use their life insurances to protect their family - off course this people create the scenario of an " accidental death " )
Suicide is deifnately NOT the way to go. Sure, it ends all your problems and worries, but what about the people around you? They would be kind of dissapointed. And, did you ever think about it as murdering yourself? That would qualify you as a murderer. And, besides, who knows what good stuff you might miss if you end your life early?
Thats why depressed people, psychotic people, and those with economical problems are at higher risk to commit suicide ...
Then ... what kind of good stuffs might expect a terminal cancer patient with painful metastasis on his bones ? a poor quality of living ?
On the contrary , it would be unnaceptable to allow a psychotic patient to commit suicide .... he or she should receive treatment !
Its very easy to generalize, and thats wrong ... suicidal people have different reasons to do it !

I think creative people have these problems more as it is common among them, something to do with that side of the brain isn't it? Not sure too much but it is something like that.
Artistic pursuits can bring us contentment.
Exercise can also help us feel balanced and give us time to rest our thoughts.
