We stay alive because we know the pain we would cause those we love is much worse than the pain we are feeling inside.

I have a different reason but it’s really only because of me… I think if I were gone everyone would be happier… or at least… less worried/ bothered.
I think some people keep on living because it would absolutely devastate their family if they killed themselves. Suicides may cause other suicides in a horrible chain reaction. Others keep fighting, because there’s always the possibility that they will overcome mental illness.
What I always found interesting is how someone could be in so much pain and be so fearful of hurting families and friends who can’t see the amount of pain their loved one is in?
Weird.
I’m honestly scared of the uncertainty of the after-life. The unknown is a strong deterrent.
Well said.
