Human A
Condition : wanted to kill himself
Dilemma : He knew that by the time he sought help to professionals in the university clinic things would just get uglier if not better. By the time people knew about his condition they would deem you unfit to live his own life, making decisions for him and leaving himself stranded even more unheard.
Solution : Kept everything to himself, met friends to play soccer and shut himself up when the breakdown came; just try to get by... Until the moment he could not take it anymore.
Result : Human A hanged himself to death in his dorm room.


Human B
Condition : just wanted to disappear, too scared of the pain of dying
Dilemma : same with human A but certainly with more problem with loss of hope to humanity, religiously attached
Solution : Sought for professional help, got clinical diagnosed, treated medically, opened up to people, took the break she needs, slowly gathered the strength to recover.
Result : Witnessed the reality of her dilemmas, killed by prejudices, as heroic as a thumbdrive survived in a washing machine.
Remark : The pain of dying is something, but the religion attachment made her think death is even more optimistic than living dead.

Human C
Condition : mentally and socially homeless
Dilemma : needed to be where he was treated unfairly, but he had nowhere to go. Needed help to sort his anger but getting it on the surface only got him questioned by suspicious party; condemned forever guile until he could be proven innocent.
Solution : Got upset, blamed the world for everything, subscribed to hatred and fatalism.
Result : Got really really angry, exploded bombs that killed innocent people

It is a shame for the world of psychology, really. I pitied these people who worked so hard to study the subject, believing that what they were dealing with was something as noble as treating a dying cancer patient. The world is not yet -perhaps never- ready for humanity. It would all make sense when someone came to me with his horrified face and told me that we were actually living among robots. I don't know, maybe we are living dead humans. That's why they put you to a purgatory called mental institution. I'd rather go to hell, or maybe I am curious to see how it is there. 

By right we should just kill ourselves when we are suicidal.
