Along with the overwhelming fear of failing an attempt (again), I have always been afraid of succeeding and finding some place worse than life on this Earth. Do people who commit suicide go to some type of “Hell”? Is there a Hell? Is there an afterlife? Will I be welcome to it if I force myself into it? Or is death like a dreamless sleep from which one never awakes? This notion terrifies me but is comforting at the same time. There may be nothing there at all which includes no depression, no anxiety, no more fear of death, no more hardships from life; there may just be sleep.

All very good questions that have been debated throughout time. One will only know when we get there, if there is a “there “. The God i place my belief in is made of love. So, therefore there is no hell. Nor would god send you there if there were such a place. I believe we come from death to this place to learn how we would really act in this situation. I do not endorse one committing suicide not do i endorse going through life miserable.
I do believe that there is life after this one. And I do believe in Heaven and hell. But I dont believe that a person necisarily goes to Hell just for committing suicide. If a person has been a good person but just came to place of misery in life and just coudnt take it anymore I believe God can and will forgive that. I believe that Jesus is the way to God and that Jesus forgives us of our sins.
So before you go its best to read about Jesus and accept him as your Lord and saviour.
I believe Hell is a place for the wicked. And I dont believe that you are a wicked person
But before you decide to leave this earth. Make Jesus your Saviour. All it takes is to read about hi in the Bible and believe in him as the son of God.
I believe Jesus is the only one who can save the soul of a person > no matter how they died.
I often wonder myself if there is heaven/hell in the traditional sense or if when you die you slip into a void of nothing. I used to be very religious, but nowdays I’m just not sure.
Would Hell be better or worse than pure nothingness on both sides? I mean, from your perspective, and cosmically. There may be no ‘you’ to perceive the lack of anything. So no relief, but no suffering from which to find relief. No positive, no negative, just nothing. Gone. Game over, and you’re all out of quarters. Not even an endless expanse of nothingness, just complete lack of any mental activity, qualifications, value judgments, or emotional states. That’s what’s truly scary, imo – it’s unimaginable.
Well if you do kill yourself your fate will be based on your circumstances & who you were even what some people would consider bad can be given leniency.
