How about this. Since suicide is taboo, how about if I commit mental suicide?


Question:
By disconnecting myself from reality as much as possible, living in my dreams and memories, and pretending life is as I want it rather than the way it is, for any part of life that meets with my disapproval. This is not technically sucide, so should be ok (ie not a sin, not immoral, etc..)

Answers:
Are you kidding? I do this all the time!

I can't live there, but I vacation there as much as possible!!

It's a terrific stress reliever.

well.... i think that i want to do the same..... mental suicide.
it doesnt work, reality rears its ugly head to slap you in the face all too often. you cant escape it unless youve got a lot of money... and im not convinced that would work either.
i think you're already there.
Dude, you need to get a life. Talk to a counselor.
If you are spending this much time with the computer, you may have already committed a form of mental suicide. The nation committed mental suicide twice when it elected Bush.
no, please, why would you do that? now i will be thinking of you all the time, seriously. it pains me to see people like this. talk to me, tell me about why you would do that, we will figure this out, please
Its working already!!
You will still need real money to buy real food, to live in a real house or whatever it is you live in, and pay real bills. GET REAL.
Sry buddy, but u cant run from reality..
your soul and your Brian are belonging to the God only and your whole body , so you can't do anything to them , do you know you can't even to denote of your organs after you dead , that because your body is owned my God only not you !
why are you so concerned if something is taboo? if you are in emotional distress i recommend you find a therapist. it sounds like you just want to dissociate. or block out all the bad things of life and pretend you are ok. i'm 23 and have done this my entire life and now am falling apart. please just seek some professional help.
I've tried that and known other people as well who did. Ideally, it would be great but the bottom line is that you will still be alive and existing in a world that goes on whether or not you like it. Everyone learns about life by it's pain and harshness at one point or another. We've all had dreams and hopes that went unfulfilled and hearts filled with bittersweet memories that tug at us to keep looking back. The more you try to disconnect from reality and isolate the more people, places and things will interfere because that's how life is: it continues day after day and will keep you a part of it because you are a part of life right now. You are a real person who probably has had some really hard times and needs to take a bit of a breather to get your head together, but please don't hole yourself up and try to shut everything that is unpleasant out of your life or you'll miss out on good things that you'd never expect. I've had so many times when giving it all up seemed the only intelligent and logical solution and had my entire life change for the better the next day. I wouldn't waste my time or energy typing this if I didn't know what your question meant or if I didn't know how it felt. Take care.

Later: Ok, now that I can see how flippant you are about a subject that the majority of us took very seriously and offered our sincere answers to, it makes sense that youqa.coms deleted your suicidal posting. You don't need professional help that you don't want since you use that as an excuse for your current state (what a cop-out) and you don't need to be such a wise *** to those of us who made an honest effort to share our experiences and opinions.
