> Tell me why people who are homeless should not commit suicide, and tell me why people who are terminally ill and suffering should not commit suicide. Tell me why someone who is chronically unhappy (myself) should not commit suicide. Joy is dependent on good fortune. Fortunate people don't realize that. I will ignore judgemental "religious" answers. I need help.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I think the reason most homeless people and terminally ill people do not commit suicide is because they don't want to. Why not is a good question and I don't know the answer. Maybe just an instinct for life or hope?

Why should someone chronically unhappy not kill themselves is also a good question. I guess it's a variation of the Big Question (What's the meaning of life?) I think everyone has to work that out herself, but I'm worried that you are so weighed down by your emotions that you can't think clearly. Why are you so unhappy? Are you being treated for depression? What kind of support have you got in your life?

So I can't tell you why not to but I can tell you that things do change and I hope you stick around to find your own answers.

I was also wondering if you can imagine yourself happy? What would that be like? What would it take?

Please post again and tell everyone how things are going. AprilA.
