Ever read a suicide note? If you had, you would see that a lot of times these people are desperate for an escape from their unhappiness. They usually will apologize profusely to their loved ones they leave behind, and they actually believe that killing themselves is the only option they have left.

Well, regardless of what any of you think, I think it's really sad that some people are SO depressed that they actually go through with killing themselves. Things must be really REALLY bad for them, and I feel sorry for them. I don't really care if you guys think they're selfish or cowards. YOU can continue in your ignorance. Enjoy!
I copied and pasted this from a suicide website. This explains why suicide is NOT selfish and cowardly, and helps for you to understand what these poor souls are going through. PLEASE read this. Please.
Suicide is a desperate act by someone who is in intense pain and wants their pain to stop. That is a HUMAN response to extreme pain, not a selfish one. And over 90 percent of the people who die by suicide have a mental illness at the time of their death, so they are not thinking clearly.
Saying that a person who had severe clinical depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, PTSD, or a similar illness was engaging in an act of selfishness when they died by suicide even though their thought process, mood, and judgment were greatly affected by their mental illness is not only inaccurate, but downright cruel, to both the suicide angel and the suicide survivors.
And those who use the word selfish are merely helping perpetuate the STIGMA associated with suicide.
A suicidal action that manifests from intense, excruciating, unbearable pain associated with a serious mental illness has nothing to do with selfishness. Period.
In various discussions of Robin Williams' death I've seen many a person call him a "coward" for committing suicide....Shep isn't alone in that regard. It's mostly the same kind of people who deny that depression is real.
If you're alone in life and leave no loved ones or what not behind, it's not cowardly.
If you're leaving loved ones to grieve and suffer because you couldn't deal with your disease, it's partially cowardice.
So you applaud telling a dead man's grieving family and friends that the dearly departed is a coward? On live TV.. Less than a day later...
No one is saying what Shep said was appropriate, but it was his opinion, one that many rational people agree with.
What was he thinking.?
Sheppard Smith suggesting the late Robin Williams might just have been a 'coward' for committing suicide was a new low for on air 'live coverage' on August 11.....
....Maybe someone can smack it into Shep's plastic surgery repaired face that what might be cowardice is to sit behind a microphone and bad mouth a dead man less than 24 hours after his demise in a forum where his family and friends can hear it.
...When networks realize that the answer to all breaking news is NOT to have some high paid blowhard simply ad-lib endlessly while the facts are being uncovered, the better off all news channels will be.

Suicide is a cowardly act.
Nope. Not always.

People With Depression Cannot 'Snap Out Of It'
by Kevin Caruso
One of the most ignorant and insensitive statements that anyone can make to someone with depression is "snap out of it."
Unfortunately, this statement is uttered constantly to people who are depressed.
So why don't the ignorant people who say "snap out of it" to people with depression tell people with other illnesses to "snap out of it"?
Because they do not understand that depression is an illness.
Illness? Depression is an illness? Some may ask. Yes, depression is an illness. People do not choose depression. Depression causes a chemical imbalance in the brain, and thus people can't "snap out of it."
People with depression need treatment, just like people with other illnesses need treatment. But many people who have depression do not receive treatment because of the societal stigma that is associated with depression.
Many people think individuals with depression are weak. And that they are choosing to be depressed, or they are just acting. And thus should be able to "snap out of it."
Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
Not only is depression an illness that people cannot "snap out of," but untreated depression is also the number one cause for suicide.
Depression is a very serious mental illness that always needs to be treated
And it is highly treatable.
The vast majority of people who receive treatment for their depression get better. If you believe that you are suffering from depression, please make appointments with a doctor and a therapist so you can be assessed and treated.
So you applaud telling a dead man's grieving family and friends that the dearly departed is a coward? On live TV.. Less than a day later...
No one is saying what Shep said was appropriate, but it was his opinion, one that many rational people agree with.
And those many who agree with Shep are completely ignorant about how severe depression effects one's mind.
Williams had been trying many different things to get out of his depression. He had just recently returned from Minnesota searching desperately for help. People who saw him in public have said he looked very thin and sick. Depression not only attacks one's mind but also their body. Williams wan't just depressed, he was severely depressed. Mental health issues like this are caused my chemical imbalance, thus it's called a disease in the medical world. When a person reaches the critical stage Williams was in, they have lost the control of their mind/logical thinking.
Will you people educate yourself before making absolutely stupid remarks. You look like complete fools.

What an incredibly simplistic and horribly inaccurate summary.
"Unhappiness" is not depression. It's one of the few outwardly visible symptoms.

Depression is a bullshit claim that weak people blame for their inability to overcome their situation.
Williams was a drug user and I submit that's what drove him to suicide.
