Is this very common?

They think that things won't get better and they want to end the pain

Hugs

Because you are depressed.
Holy ****…i am buzzzzzed

Why have I lost all hope and see no happiness?
Die young and save yourself

Though I've never really looked at it from that perspective before, I can understand that notion. Once a person approaches a certain level of pain and anguish, it becomes hard to focus on anything but the self. The idea of our passage out of this world feels so personal. Although I think I understand what you're saying, and I'm probably taking it to a different place.
I always appreciate your thoughts on things like this. And you're never ever going to die a loser because you'll never be one.
Die young and save yourself

You are never ,ever a loser my dear friend , never think that way again. ..you are a total winner in my books

Nothing has changed.
I'm looking forward to a trip I'll be taking next year, but have essentially decided anything is fair game after that. Don't tell my best friend I said so, of course. She's not fond of that kind of talk.
Man is not truly one, but truly two.

And how do you feel about those thoughts now? What changed? Events in your life? Meds.? Therapy/counselling?

I didn't see the point of anything. I figured that if I was going to die a loser I may as well do it on my own terms. At the very least, I had no intentions of filming it.

Why did you want to end things?
Sorry, if that's too personal.

In my opinion, it plays into the notion that suicide is selfish. It's the ultimate attention-grab.
Man is not truly one, but truly two.

I think that maybe it aids in their resolve. There could be a belief that it adds a dimension of purpose, that other people are seeing their pain played out in the ultimate way.
Maybe I'm just full of it. It's just a thought I had.
Die young and save yourself

Oooh good weed hehe…I missed that.
Gee, I dunno…****ed up 4 sure.

I know why they commit it; I just never understood why they film it. It's not like they'll be around to see the attention they get for it.
Man is not truly one, but truly two.

They see no happiness in the future and lost all hope.
Things get better.
I've been there.

Why do people film themselves committing suicide?
Man is not truly one, but truly two.
