Question: Is it possible to be a relatively happy person and want to end your life!?
I just feel like the only thing I'm meant to live for is music (Not to get anywhere, be famous or make tonnes of money!.) and living!. But who's to say that you need to live until a ripe old age and then pass away in your sleep to be normal!? Isn't it fair enough that I can have the right to come to a point that I just say "This is it, lets see whats next!."!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

I agree with you!.!.!.sort of!.!.!.but humans are 'built' with an innate survival instinct!.!.!.as a matter of fact!.!.!.ALL species are!.!.!.even in the animal kingdom, the water buffalo will still run from a lion rather than just lie down for the attack!. I for one, believe that you should be able to decide for yourself when you're done with your own life, particularly if you're in pain or miserable!.!.!.but as far as thinking it's "normal" to want to end your life when you're 'relatively happy'!.!.!.I'm not so sure!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Alex I believe that you have that right, and I would respect you're decision to act on that right!.

I would nevertheless be a little sad that you decided to leave because there is so much that you probably have not explored about this life and I'm not sure there is another one where you will get such a chance!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

well actually you can say that and think that!.
but you forgot something very important!.

i may mention that later
but for the moment you lied!.

you are not relatively happy!.
you are very unhappy!.

all you are doing is looking at your life and saying i should be happy!.
why am i not!?

i've been there and in desperate straights!.
i wasn't saying why am i unhappy!?
i was asking why in my situation, isn't killing myself the right thing to do!?

anyone should have the right to decide when to end their own life!.
but!.!.!.!.

you have my email
if you need to talk then talk!.
i will listen!.
