How do you feel about holding on to something that isn’t even real?
I’ve had attempts and they all failed.
I’ve come to the conclusion that the only thing that will get me out of this dark place is if my ex decides he wants to get back together. I know, it’s kind of pathetic, but it’s all I want.
There’s a chance it will happen, but I’d say greater chance it won’t happen.
So what do you think about putting off suicide for something that might not even happen?
Have you experienced this?
I would love to know your personal thoughts.

You could wait for your ex but I suggest trying to move on from the ex if there are no signs they’re interested in getting back with you. You may be closing yourself off to other opportunities by focusing on someone you can’t be with.
Why is that pathetic?
Is your ex really worth more to you than your own life? If he’s an “ex”, that should tell you something about your relationship with him, incompatible. Depending on someone else to make you happy or give your life meaning is like decorating an empty box; no matter how full of decor, it’s still empty. Your relationship with yourself is more important because that’s what will last a lifetime, other people are just extra decor that can change over time and will come and go, not the other way around. I’m sorry if this might’ve offended you, just a piece of my mind. In the end only you can make the choice and no one can truly judge you but yourself. Give more thought to yourself than your ex.
I don’t think that is pathetic, actually I think it’s one of the best (most realistic) strategy for beating suicide. We all have a million reasons we want to die, everything from existential loneliness to the asshole who just flipped us off on the highway. Your strategy focuses on 1 thing. And that way we can ignore all the other crap while we try to get stronger.
I have money problems. And sadness over dead loved ones. And frustration at society. I can’t do anything about those things, but I can think about my ex and hope one day I’ll bump into her again. By thinking about her, I can sometimes forget the other stuff. And I can make productive changes in my life, like working out and making myself healthier. I’ve been doing this to a certain degree already, but your post made me realize it’s the right thing to do. So congrats, your “pathetic” idea is the best thing I’ve heard in months 🙂
So
