I’ve posted before about how my family found out I’m suicidal and they would tell me that I’ll go to a bad place if I kill myself.
I met a psychologist for the first time last week and she told me too that I wouldn’t be happy if I commit suicide.
It’s like they want me to fear killing myself. I don’t see it that way but at the same time, I see why they would.
I think whatever you think will happen to you after you’ve taken your own life is what will happen.

I have hear that before, but also with that it doesn’t make sense. If a person kills someone and God forgives us and we believe in him, then we can go to the good place; but if we kill ourselves and we believe in God,we go to the bad place. IT MAKES NO SENSE.
So I think if you believe in God, no matter what, you should be going to the good place.
This is a really good point. Although, I do not believe in heaven or hell. There is an afterlife, though.
A better place than here
Agreed
I believe in reincarnation actually. That might make suicide sound futile but we cannot accurately judge when it really is someone’s time. The idea of “natural” and “unnatural” death are human conventions. The soul knows when it is done with it’s life lessons for a while.
and that works for me. I’ll do better every day in life as I can see I already have, and I’ll leave the back door open in case I need to pop out for a moment, as it were.
Beautifully said. I believe in reincarnation too, kind of. But, I believe you have a choice. To remain a wandering soul or to come back in the physical world as something else. Maybe an animal, or a completely different human.
Somewhere real quiet.
Thumbs up !!!
I sense you would enjoy taking a very long nap in a lush green forest, Lonely Trees
How could you tell? 😉
Although, a meadow of Foxgloves doesn’t sound too bad either!
Yesssss…… They are so lovely, and bloom for weeks. Such a fierce beauty.
BTW, ForestOfLonelyTrees, we once talked about why I love your username so much.
I guess I didn’t tell you the real reason … it has to do with where I will spend my last (and best) days 🙂
With you mentioning Aokigahara, I thought that’d be the case (sorry I haven’t replied to that yet!).
I’m right there with on that when the time comes, I can’t imagine anywhere more peaceful and appropriate to spend the last moment than a forest.
Hope you don’t mind me asking, Is the place you’ve chosen somewhere you visited regularly beforehand?
“I can’t imagine anywhere more peaceful and appropriate to spend the last moment than a forest. ”
YES !!!
The place I’ve chosen, I’ve never been to, but I’ve studied it thoroughly, and it seems like it will do the job 😉
A forest is one of the few places that people accept the natural order of things, the duality. They do not question the fact that it’s calm and beautiful whilst also being dirty and primal.
I feel like we could do with more of that acceptance in our lives overall.
I wish you luck on your final journey there and hope that this place lives up to your expectation. I read your post about being at peace, and think it’s a refreshing perspective to see.
I wish i could leave this world by the ocean. I feel like there would be nothing more peaceful than to go back to the light once the sun rises.
Einsamkeit.. are you going to ” go home ” in a forest?
This is so beautiful to think about.
“A forest is one of the few places that people accept the natural order of things, the duality. They do not question the fact that it’s calm and beautiful whilst also being dirty and primal.”
Absolutely. I wanted to hang myself in a forest but unfortunately, I got caught before I even got to go. But, what a wonderful place to spend my last breath.
ElleHart, I literally got a mental vision of that. So peaceful, it feels like home.
Everybody has their own personal heaven
The way you died doesn’t matter
Only the way you have lived counts
(I’m a satanist-wiccan)
Probably just cease to exist, which is 10x’s better then living. I never choose to be born, I just was born…there are over 7 billion people on the planet, I don’t think 1 less person will really matter. People will get over your absence.
Yeah, I would have probably have consented to be born because I served a purpose for a while, but I need to be gone now. Let those 7 billion people get on with it.
“After your death you will become what you were before your birth.” – Arthur Schopenhauer
I like that quote because it can be interpreted in a couple of different ways.
Great. I’m going to be a glob of spunk. Huh.. Just kidding it’s still an interesting quote I’m simple minded with filthy wit, my sencere apologies Monsieur Morris.
*sincere, ahem.
Glob of Spunk.
What a great band name. Thank you. 🙂
You are welcome 😉
‘Tis an excellent band name! Of what genre I think it suits punk/post maybe metal of the nu/thrash/death variety..
Better hurry and register GlobOfSpunk. com before someone else does. (Chances are there’s only 2 or 3 people worldwide reading this so maybe there isn’t much urgency regarding this matter).
Glob of Spunk! Yeah! You rock! 🙂
It is so like that the GlobOfSpunk domain name is already taken that I am not even gonna check. 😉
Or perhaps a song-
ahem.
(Roars)
“GLOB OF SPUUUNK!!
I HAVE BECOOOOOME
ONE WITH MYSELF
AS A VISCOUS LIQUID!!!”
I can see batman singing that with the growling voice
“GLOB OF SPUNK WITH A TWIST OF LAAAMB”..
The meaning of life has suddenly been revealed, my life’s purpose has never been clearer.
I must join A Glob of Spunk. (Hopefully my lack of talent won’t be an issue).
C’mon, let’s rock!
Death Metal Batman. Look it up XD
LMAO just looked it up, I might have seen it before but it’s hilarious lol his lips >_<
I think it’s probably unusual, but instead of not being able to believe in a god but wanting an afterlife, I was raised to believe in (and do believe in) a god but I dread having an afterlife. I just want to kind of fade out of existence so I don’t risk being able to look back on everything I regret doing in life, and I don’t really fear it since nonexistence can’t hurt you if you can’t be aware of it. Mostly, I’m terrified of heaven…
LOL I thought it was your band?! I’m confused BTW lamb is a reference to a joke we were having last night about accents in case anyone is wondering..
I’m not currently in a band, but when I go to hell I plan to form one and play the dive bar circuit down there.
Find me, I’ll buy you a few shots of Irish whiskey. I’ll be looking for you in the mosh pit.
Indeed I shall hold you to that, the circle pit is where I shall be.
No worries.
You started off as a glob of spunk and you’ll end up roughly the same.
No one checks credit scores in the after-life.
Blah.
This glob of spunk is going to sleep.
I don’t believe there is some sort of heaven, but I don’t think there are separate “departments” like rapist and murderers go in room A, suicides go in room B, church going, bible beatin’, god and Jesus lovin’ folk go in room C. I believe we do answer to a higher power, whether it’s God or a force, and I do believe we are reincarnated at some point, but I don’t know that it’s necessarily into the same species… I personally want to be reincarnated, if there is such a thing, into a house cat cause they have the best lives. Lol
I feel like I have lived before as another human though. I do believe in past lives, and de ja vu…1I sometimes wonder if it has to do with having a past life, because it is just such a strange feeling when it happens. I know things I shouldn’t know too and I wonder if it’s knowledge from a previous life, that somehow I carried into this life.
I don’t think there is nothingness like many others do, although I would be fine with it if it was indeed the case. I think there is another realm though. From what people have described about an NDE… it seems like there is more after this life on earth, and a place we do go on to and end up. And I think our spirit, of who we are as a person currently, lives on in this other realm, while our soul is reincarnated into another living thing. I also STRONGLY believe, the dead, people in their spirit form, can communicate with those that are still living. Not sure if I believe in an actual hell though.
Sorry that first sentence should read that I do believe there is a heaven.
IDK, if reincarnation was the real deal, we’d be more advanced as a species.
Wow, omg. This is basically how I see it, too. And I feel the same. If I were to be reincarnated, I’d love to become a cat. Cats mean a lot to me, tbh. I love how they just be. They’re adorable and they do whatever the fuck they want, lmao. Cats are truly majestic creatures and I’d love to become one if I were to ever come back in this world after I die.
Do you believe or practice astral projection? It’s something I’m really interested in and I’ve been trying to successfully astral project. The closest I have been to it are the vibrations and being in sleep paralysis and also the ringing of the third eye. There was also a particular dream I had and I thiiiink I might have unconsciously astral project. But yeah, I’m really curious about the astrals. When I think of it, it feels like home. Like where I belong. I truly feel like I don’t belong on earth. I’m not sure if I’m a starseed but, I’m not from here and my soul is aching to go home, to wander and explore endlessly without this restricting physical body.
” I also STRONGLY believe, the dead, people in their spirit form, can communicate with those that are still living.” Apparently, in the astral realm, there are dead people who become spirit guides to people who astral project. It’s a nice thought, I’d like to become a spirit guide in the astrals.
Great question. The question of where we go after suicide is one I have looked into long and hard. My short answer is: where your beliefs would take you is where you will go. As a bible reader, I read that people could be condemned to death but never did it mention condemnation for death. At least in this book suicide was never condemned or condoned. There you are, hours upon hours of research and that is what i found. Good question!
Yes, I researched this as well. You’re right. The condemnation is by interpretation. Personally, I believe most people miss the point and cannot grasp that Jesus was the ultimate radical. Ironic, isn’t it?
I’m still hoping for utter obliteration, but have had images: made up? memories? premonitions? Who knows?
The first is of a sort of warm, cozy, protected kind of energy. Alone, but totally held. Like being in a soul-sized honeycomb cell. Perfect peace.
The second was a non-drug induced state of higher consciousness wherein I became aware of the connectivity of all life, and seven separate layers of consciousness, four of which were clear, a fifth was hazy and two more downright beyond my ability to comprehend, yet clearly present.
The third is a vision of an afterlife where the colors are vibrant and have a sound all their own. Everything is connected, a symphony, a celebration.
As beautiful as these images/experiences are I would simply rather not exist at all.
This is so beautiful. I’m actually in tears.
