Woman Commits Suicide By Setting Herself On Fire At Gas Station

Yeah well, her goose was cooked. What’s with these people? Why do they make others watch? Sickos

Pussy..

“There is nothing here that would lead us to believe that there was any
kind of mechanical problem with the car”
*fetches baseball bat from under bed, eyes all Japanese cars suspiciously, just in case*

Well, as sad as this is, let’s all pray she was an assole, kiddie diddler, old people beater, human abuser, bath salts user person.
It is the only way this situation might be less traumatic and we can approve of it.

“They did say that they feel there’s nothing suspicious about the incident, and that this was a completed suicide.”

So glad they cleared that up. For a minute I thought the pumps attacked her and this was going to be a future issue with me getting gas. *rolls eyes*

call me one to then Dre..that’s some bullshit…she had to be crazy..like, for real crazy…I mean who does that shit other than Tibetan’s??

What an incredibly selfish act. The pain of the suicidal is always less than the exponential pain of those WHO DO care and are let behind. Selfish self centered ass.

or maybe she had voted for Bush and then had a moment of sanity and regret.

Maybe she was getting herself ready for more to come.

Sleeping pills – get it wrong and you may just wind up a vegetable,shitting hospital sheets in your very own coma.

Read your comment just now – sorry you,me and so many others are all having a rough go of it at the moment. Being alive – you are apparently doing it correctly.

In Texas (right now) she would have had change coming.

Her boyfriend had just dumped her (my best guess – going by face book postings of women who have recently been dumped).

Hell of a way to die; even worse, it is a hell of a way to protest gasoline prices.

Yup, it’s the train wreck thingy.

I’m aiming for a death due to natural causes in my sleep type of suicide.

It’s a phenomena known as fascinasty, a word I’d like to take credit for but Morbid trademarked it, the bastard. He’s got all the cool words.

Thank you Andy for “forcing” me to tell yet another back when I was a cop story

Back when I was a cop I knew this lady who was nice,but kinda strange.She was an attractive lady in her 40′s and she was going through a nasty divorce.The lady had threatened several times to kill herself because she was tired of being a bother to everyone,and no one gave a damn about her.I remember going on a call to her residence once that was put out as a barricaded person with a gun call.A sergeant was primary officer on the call and I was sent as the back up officer. There were other police stationed outside around the house.Everyone at the station knew who this lady was so when we got to the location me and the sergeant actually made contact with her, and went inside her house when she let us in.

The lady had a small pistol in her hand,but she kept it behind her back and never pointed it at anyone while we were there. After a long talk with the sergeant the lady finally handed the pistol over to him.She said that she was overly depressed with her life,but that she didn’t want to hurt anyone else.

I remember hearing one of the policewomen I worked with comment at the station one day that she wished “the Bitch would go ahead and kill herself”,because she was sick and tired of having to go out on her bull shit calls.Well this officer got her wish one day – I was dispatched on a non-responsive person call and it was this ladies address.

The lady had started her vehicle (a brand new Cadillac) while it was inside her garage with the garage door down.She had also ran a hose from the tail pipe of the vehicle into one of the windows and locked it into place by letting the window up.Inside the vehicle with her was a bottle of Vodka,some orange juice,and she had a glass in one hand.The lady was wearing a night gown. I will never forget the sound she made when the paramedics pried her from the seat of that Caddy – that’s right – they had to pry her from the seat because Rigor mortis had already set in, and her body had molded itself to the leather. When they pulled her from the seat the sound she made was exactly like the sound Velcro makes when you rip it apart.They put her on the stretcher and she maintained a perfect sitting position while laying on her back.

This ladies suicide depressed me because in spite of all of her problems – she was in fact a nice person,that and I also knew her 18 year old daughter,and the husband (The husband once had told me that she was just a crazy Bitch and what he wanted more than anything was to get away from her ass,but that when that happened she was probably going to clean him out of everything he had worked his ass off to earn).The daughter didn’t dislike her mom but she was embarrassed by her mom’s erratic behavior,and thought her mom was a “crazy lady” – the daughter’s words.

I have heard that numerous people who have survived carbon monoxide poisoning suicide attempts have stated that they actually changed their mind during the event,but that they were unable to move to stop it.What these people describe is nothing short of a real life nightmare.

When people threaten to kill themselves it should always be taken seriously.I wonder if the lady in Morbid’s article article made any out cries that were ignored.

Morbid has laid claim to a lot of cool shit – I noticed that as well.

The worst thing that you can do to someone contemplating suicide is say what everyones life is like, it’s dismissive. We don’t know what they are dealing with and everyone’s breaking point is different.

Fascinasty. I like it.

Heather is correct.I have never heard of any one say that they felt like they could not breathe … what they say is that they lose the ability to move.This may look like a peaceable death on the outside – due to the whole movement denied thing that goes on,but according to survivors inside is a totally different story.

You took what I said and walked away from it with what you
wanted to … that was “your” call. Maybe I’m also having a
“rough go at it” – thank you Mrs. High and Mighty for dismissing me.
I have had all sorts of classes on the subject of suicide – so thank you for
schooling me on it. My whole point to takurospirit is that if you are alive you are dealing with something – that is
just part of being alive – in life there are ups and there are the downs. If
there are no ups and downs a person is usually dead. My point is also that no
matter what we are going through in life there is almost always someone some
where who is going through much worse. Like the story of the girl who was
crying because she had no shoes to wear – she stopped crying about the issue
when she saw a guy with no legs. I wasn’t being Dismissive of takurospirit’s
problems rather I was acknowledging that he is human, as am I, as are “most”
people – so there for he is not alone.

No, I took away from it what was implied. There was no hint of “high and mighty” in my tone at all it was me stating facts and I will not apologize for them. When someone tells you that they are thinking of suicide stating “sorry you, me and so any others…” comes off as dismissive. It’s not about you or others, it’s about the poster.

Now you may not have meant for it to be that way but that’s how it came off. Call me whatever names you see fit but suicide is one thing that I take really seriously and any wrong thing said can sink a person into depression even further.

Me too. At my most depressed, the only reason I didn’t kill myself was because there was no way that I felt was guaranteed to work AND not hurt.

As long as I am not aware that I am shitting the sheets I guess I am ok with that

Wonder how fast she was regretting this

No,you took it the way you wanted to take it.This is ced and I can’t get my home PC to log me into my account.I will say this then I’m done with it (matters not what else you have to say) – even after I explained what I had meant in detail you maintained that “your” version was correct as to “what was implied” – loudly indicating that YOU know better than me what I was saying even though I am the one who wrote it. This makes you a very high and mighty person when you can charge up another person claiming to be able to tell them what the hell they have just said in the face of them telling you that you took it wrong.The way you took my words was not “Now you may not have meant for it to be that way but that’s how it came off” – that’s just the way it “came off to YOU.” If you look for dirt in the air you can often find it – congrats on your finding.PS – I didn’t ask you for an apoligy.

You are entitled to that opinion my friend,but seriously what Chinchillazilla wrote is correct.

Ced, perception nearly always trumps intent. You may have intended to make a very caring comment, but it was perceived by Angel’s Mom (and, I must say, myself) as dismissive, or at the very lease naive.
Surely you know that people who suffer from chronic depression and who contemplate suicide are having more than “a rough go of it” like an unaffected person does on occasion, so to say something glib like that is quite contrary to your intention, which, I know was coming from a good place.
The fact is, those of us who do not suffer from chronic or severe depression will never understand just how rough of a going it is, and to suggest we do can be easily perceived as inconsiderate and belittling.

No.

I’m going to go ahead and say that unless you are living with a painful terminal condition suicide is not the answer. I am on the fence about whether or not someone has the right to take their own life just because it’s theirs. In theory, this seems fine. However, my best friend- from birth- killed himself 2 years ago. We even bathed together throughout our childhood…he was more like a brother to me than my actual brothers, in fact. I feel that loss and pain every day…his mother found him and had to go through trying to resuscitate him until help arrived…he was very much dead when she tried. A mother should never have to go through that. She is not the same. I doubt she ever will be. I don’t think he anticipated that he would be ruining her life by doing what he did, but he did ruin her life. In that case, no, suicide is not ok. I am selfish in this situation, because I loved him and want him back, too, but if you are going to take your life, you should at least do it in a manner in which you know- for sure- your family/loved ones won’t be subjected to finding you. God damn this story. Poor woman. I can’t imagine how bad your life must be if setting yourself the fuck on fire seems like the answer. Just too sad that we let people feel that alone and desperate in this world.

Yes,work your way through what ever pain you are dealing with – hang in there and remember suicide is never the correct answer to the question;it’s just the easy way.

Athena – I must say this is without a doubt one of the nicest comments I have ever received from you. Thanks for that.

Now as to the actual comment – you know that perceptions are like opinions yours, may not be as mine, and both of ours may not match the next person’s; factor into that equation the fact that men and women are not the same. This is why agencies maintain men, and women counselors, and negotiators. Men and women do not reach out in the same way. The comment I left was in fact rushed (I had already started getting ready to log off to leave work when I saw takurospirit’s comment and I didn’t have it in me to just exit without saying something to him),however it was not necessarily an incorrect reach out response. The comment may not have struck you, or Angel’s mom correctly, but then it wasn’t left for either of you guys. It was a direct message from me to takurospirit reminding him that he is not alone. I really do not need case by case specifics to issue this statement – if you have a problem you are never the first with that problem – at least thousands have already been there before
you. If you have a question – you are not normally going to be the first with it – thousands have asked the same question before you thought of it – this is simply the way it is.

The way you and Angel’s mom say my way of reaching out to takurospirit struck you as dismissive – I could say your way struck me as assembly line roll out, and the last thing that a lot of suicidal people actually want, or need to hear. A lot of suicidal
people in fact DO NOT WANT TO TALK TO YOU.A lot of the suicidal people in the
world could care less about your offer to listen. What works for one may not
work for another. I am not saying that offering to listen is the wrong thing to do – I’m not ignorant – like some people to the point that I would shoot someone down for reaching out to another person in their own way. What I am saying though is there is no ONE key for dealing with situations like this, and just because you dislike another person’s reach out method does not make it a wrong method. You can offer all day long to listen to someone, however if they never take you up on that – if you simply toss that out there and go about your day feeling that you have done your part – then you have in fact done nothing and may as well have kept your mouth shut; oh you may feel good about yourself,but other than that you didn’t accomplish shit. Sometimes what a suicidal person actually needs is to hear a strong dose of reality … sometimes what is needed is a reminder of what they already know – they are not the only one, they are not alone.

Experts state that suicide is in fact a selfish act,I have never seen any that disagreed on this.

We are all self-absorbed to an extent. However, MOST people who are suicidal are not merely self-absorbed, they are very ill. Do their actions have far reaching consequences for others? Absolutely. Are they in a clear enough state of mind to comprehend those consequences? Not usually. MOST suicide is not about death but about stopping the pain and MOST of these people feel like a drain and a liability to their families and loved ones. There isn’t anything rational about MOST suicidal minds. MOST people who have survived their attempts will tell you that. Trying to impose logical thinking onto someone in this state is totally unfair. If you have never dealt with a mental health condition that can cause suicidal tendencies or thoughts, you really cannot fathom the condition at all.

I don’t care about being PC and if you knew me you would know that I am not.

Your high and mighty comment is funny since you must have the last word on everything and argue about everything. Whether you meant for it to come off that way or not it did and I’m sure I’m not the only one who saw it.

The same way you know the law I know suicidal tendencies, depression and psychology. I am done with this. You have made this about you and me and it’s not and was never supposed to be.

I’m not interested in the drama, if you have more to say to me we can go head to head off of the boards. I can be found in the forums under Angels Mom, PM me.

Challenge accepted Morbid – I’m working so my time was
limited on this, but what I found was that most of the so called experts are
not making a lot of public statements anymore about suicide being a selfish
act. No one seems to be attempting to deny that by pure definition (Concerned
chiefly or only with yourself and your advantage to the exclusion of others) it
is in fact selfish, how ever I did have a hard time finding experts who are
currently making the blunt statement. Reviewing some of their past writings I
found numerous comments like this one:

“unless suicide is committed as a result of terrible and
unrelenting physical pain — especially if one is suffering from a terminal
illness — or a person knows that he is about to be tortured, most suicides are
selfish acts. This is said with no lack of compassion for the terrible
psychological suffering that people who commit suicide experience. But
compassion does not negate the fact that suicide is usually a selfish act.”

, but that is about all I found. Apparently the topic has gone
PC. Challenge Failed.

Below is a still recognized fact that should be taken into
consideration by people interested in committing suicide:

March 24, 2009|By Elizabeth Landau CNN:

The poet Sylvia Plath, who made a name for herself through prose and poetry
that conveyed a sense of depression and suicidal tendencies, famously died by
asphyxiating herself in an oven in 1963.

The recent reported suicide of her son, marine biologist Nicholas Hughes,
brings to light a known psychiatric phenomenon: the heredity of suicidal
behavior.

A first-degree relative — a parent, sibling or child — of a person who has
committed suicide is four to six times more likely to attempt or complete a
suicide, said Dr. David Brent, psychiatrist at the University of Pittsburgh
Medical Center.

A few other interesting facts:

· Every 14.2 minutes someone in the United States
dies by suicide.

· Nearly 1,000,000 people make a suicide
attempt every year.

· 90% of people who die by suicide have a
diagnosable and treatable psychiatric disorder at the time of their death.

· Most people with mental illness do not die by
suicide.

· Data puts yearly medical costs for suicide at
nearly $100 million.

· Men are nearly 4 times more likely to die by
suicide than women. Women attempt suicide 3 times as often as men.

· Suicide rates are highest for people between
the ages of 40 and 59.

· White individuals are most likely to die by
suicide, followed by Native American peoples.

SMILE

Please allow me to amend my statement, I should have said that you made it sound like being selfish is *always* bad or wrong when it isn’t. And I agree that the world would be better if people put others first BUT if you look at the true definition of selfish I think you would agree that calling people who are suicidal ‘selfish’ isn’t appropriate either.

Selfish – lacking consideration for others; concerned chiefly with one’s own personal profit or pleasure.

Suicidal people are not concerned about their own profit or pleasure.
