The Walking Dead: The Journey North [Chapter I]

Sorry everyone! I have a bit of downtime now so I'll get started :)

The Walking Dead: The Journey North [Chapter I]

I have had experience as a GM but I would say that you are doing a fine job it seems so kudos to you my friend! Also! I am interested. However, I have finals tomorrow, multiple finals and moving. So can I reserve a slot to fill later with a character?

POST-APOCALYPSE IDEA

I would be interested as well!

Suicide, Tragic or Selfish?

Magic Magnum said
This is rare but I agree with Turt.What's selfish is forcing people to stay alive who don't want to live just because you don't want to see them go.For an example some people may relate to more.Let's say you're in a relationship and your partner wants to end it but you don't.So you basically go "But I don't want you to go! I'll be sad/hurt without you!". Is this behaviour/reaction understandable? Yes, you care for the person and don't wish to let them go. But by pressuring them to be somewhere they don't want to is what is being selfish.

I like this example.

Suicide, Tragic or Selfish?

As far as the whole selfish debate, if someone has a negative driving force strong enough to lead them to suicide I think it's ignorant for these people to stand back and call them selfish.

As for the Hell thing, I've been struggling through feeling depressed "on and off" (it's sort of always there, just gets bad at certain times) and all I do is panic and I know when I'm fighting with myself all I can think is how I disgust myself and how much of a failure I am and how everything hurts and it hurts to breathe and I feel panicked and hopeless and I wish I was dead but I'm scared of hurting anyone but myself because I'd feel selfish. Hell is nowhere in my thoughts personally. Nor was it in my sisters' thoughts when she attempted suicide, she doesn't believe in Hell or Heaven.

She should have used a bullet. Hanging yourself can take like 15 mnutes if done wrong.Their life their choice, it's disgusting to call someone with mental issues selfish.More thoughts on Hanging and Suicide:In hanging, death may occur from (1) asphyxia (2) cerebral congestion or apoplexy (3) coma (4) shock (5) injury to the spinal column or cord and (6) combination of any of the above.A hanging may induce one or more of the following medical conditions:* Closure of carotid arteries causing cerebral ischemia* Closure the jugular veins* Induction of carotid reflex, which reduces heartbeat when the pressure in the carotid arteries is high, causing cardiac arrest* Breaking of the neck (cervical fracture) causing traumatic spinal cord injury* Closure of the airway* Death erection* DeathSymptoms are rapid that they are rarely observed-flashes of light before the eyes, ringing in the ears, followed by unconsciousness and death.In judicial hangings, death is pronounced at cardiac arrest, which may occur at times from several minutes up to 15 minutes or longer after hanging.

I saw something, and it was a chart of how painful different deaths are (on a scale of 100). I believe that shooting oneself in the head was like 15 and hanging oneself was in the high nineties and bleeding out from the wrists was in the seventies or eighties and overdosing was high too so I just thought it was strange how people always seem to be romanticizing the higher pain deaths (hanging, bleeding out, overdosing, and drowning). Just a thought. I don't know how accurate it is, of course but yeah.

Suicide, Tragic or Selfish?

I definitely agree with all of you that it's a form of child abuse. However, I'll be out of the house in about July and our only relative (my gandmother) is going to take my sister for a while. My sister has told her counselor about incidents in the past and CPS was called (but no substantial proof) and I believe that just made my mother angry with my sister. I'm really worried about moving out but this seems like a really safe bet right now.

I am bipolar, and I have received that story countless times. Mother and father do not like it when you talk about suicide because they feel its their bad DNA that made you think that way. My friend, eugenics is alive and well. The more you think about it, we just turn into life stock. Were just animals, nothing more and nothing less. Were just kept alive because someone feels they can make money off from us.

Isn't that the truth? :P I was just surprised when my mother denied to my sister. My sister was the favorite (and does not remind my mother of the man she hates because different fathers) and she's been in two psychiatric wards (they transferred her to a different one in the middle of treatment so she could see some sort of specialist) and taking medication is part of her freaking outpatient treatment.

But yeah. :P

Also, society is not a hive mind. We are not consciously going "We want ______ dead. Let's as a society cut them off from help and kill them".Let's leave government and society conspiracy theories to kill people off separate please? They do not relate to suicide or depression.I'm sorry that whatever you experience has caused you to look at all of society under such a light. But that is not how society functions, and treating society/the people in it as if they do isn't accurate and only slows down the rate we can deal with issues like depression and suicide because we are burning efforts fighting something that does not exist.

Seconded.
