There are a lot of other options you should explore first. Like finding someone you can talk about your problems with, go to the library and find books related to your problems, consider things you can do to change the things that make your life miserable, consider the feelings of your family/friends and the reasons you suspect you might be feeling selfish. Unless you have exhausted every other possibility that you can come up with, yes you are being selfish, and unwise. I say unwise because you cannot know what tomorrow will bring if you give life the appropriate amount of effort to make it happy. People don't just have happy lives, they work to make them happy, and you just have to teach yourself how to do this. You may not achieve happy, but maybe you will accomplish content. Content is all I have ever strived for myself.

Death is NEVER a good option; it's too final. Think of who will be affected by this decision. Please find someone who you can discuss your feelings with.

You are not selfish just depressed. Most of us have been there and of course we don't act on it. Tomorrow you will feel better, and if not tomorrow, then the day after, or the day after that. It will get better and one day you will be so grateful for you life. Get ou in the sunshine it always lifts the spirits. Bless you.

I don't know about selfish, but if you are going to do something that drastic, couldn't you do something just as drastic but positive? You are welcome to tell me what is disturbing you so greatly, but couldn't you move to a new place, start a new life, do something good that you dream of doing. Go out to a nursing home or hospital and visit and help people. You will see others that have greater problems.

No, you aren't selfish at all. I know exactly how you feel. I have just moved back to the area that I grew up in, but when I made that move, I moved away from all of my friends and the life I had carefully built. I have been alone now for over two months, and I am convinced it's killing me. I can't find a job. I was counting on a certain job, I had all kinds of ins, but I think that I blew it on my second interview -- I was supposed to hear today, but so far nothing. So I don't think I got it, and I'm desperate. I can't survive on the amount of money that I get a month, I can't keep doing nothing, but I can't afford to go anywhere. Nobody seems to know or understand how miserable I am. I know that you're feeling desperate - I am too. Call a suicide hotline, I have done it before and they are wonderful and kind people who are trained to help you see the value of your own life when you can't see it yourself. Know that you aren't alone, because you aren't, I am right there as well in my own life. I think you'll make it through, and I hope that I will too.

not at all selfish. the world is overpopulated, and every little bit helps. right?

After noting that you have a baby daughter, I would say: YES YOU ARE BEING SELFISH. You would be depriving your child of her father and forcing her to grow up knowing that her father committed suicide, if I am assuming that's what you are thinking. You would also be depriving yourself of your honor as a human being. You would be looking for an "easy way out", which is what a coward would do. There are people that live lives in terrible circumstances and still have self-respect in their humanity. Maybe a job change is in order for you to get perspective on what really goes on in this world. Stop hiding behind your self-pity. Pick up your baby girl and apologize to her.

Yes. Hey, why the downrate? if you ask a "yes or No" question, and answer accordingly, yes or no, you get a downrate if you choose the wrong multiple choice? I wish I knew this was a "fishing" question, cause I wouldn't have answered it at all. I hate forced questions.

Yes,it's being selfish because there are millions of people who are in waaaaay more problems than you. People starving,homeless,crippled,mentally insane. Just thank God for what you have. Be content and then you will know that you have a driven purpose. Love and May God bless you!

I don't think it's helpful to look at in a judgmental light. Death is kind of final. I don't know your belief system; but mine says that we come here to learn lessons, and suicide just means you have to come back and try again. Do you really want that? I know I wouldn't. So, why not try something else? Take a vacation from whatever's bothering you and have some fun.

if you are thinking of death you need to seek help immediately. But yes it is selfish think about those who love you and how it will hurt them

No, you might be right. Dont get me wrong I'm not saying you should but I have heard many life stories & been left wondering if they might be better off that way.

Technically yes, as you are thinking of yourself = self - ish. But I still hold that the those who expect you to stay alive just so they won't feel sad and don't care how miserable you are or for how long are even more selfish. I also understand that yes, maybe there are other people who are worse off than you, but you aren't asking them to live either so that is irrelevant. My number one reason for believing that suicide is not an option is that, despite all the misery, the human body still has an amazing aversion to self-termination and there is a good chance that you won't succeed. Chances are you will only botch the attempt and maybe end up even worse off (eg, years ago a bloke shot off his nose while trying to suicide, other people have taken pills and just ended up brain - damaged, etc). I'm not sure that planned suicide is a good strategy. What to do? All you can do is forget the misery and try to concentrate on the problems that you can solve, and try and move toward what you do want to achieve, no matter how slowly. Sorry I can't be of more help to you so all I can say is best wishes, good luck, and I hope you do find the solution.

No I dont think your being selfish, STUPID is more the word I am thinking!

think about it, if your are in a desert and you are left with just one glass of drinking water, would you just through it, life is just once and try to utilize it, these things happen when you are not true to yourself, try to fulfill those crazy desires that you have buried deep in your heart, be happy who knows tommorow we are there or not.

No more selfish than most people. By far, more cowardly, but no more selfish.

Yes if you have children who depend on you. Otherwise no. But remember that death is permanent solution to a temporary problem. I myself have considered it many times in my life. But have always (so far) chosen other options. And, right now, I’m glad to still be on the planet doing stuff. Last summer I was having a nervous break down and saw no way though it. But right now I’m working a fun job having a fun life. Go figure.
