Isn’t suicide 9 times out of 10 just a means to attempt to end a suffering? Be it mental or physical pain?
but it’s a complete gamble, you have no idea what’s waiting for you once you go for it… Just ideas.
You’ve got this scenario, where you are as far as you’re concerned, living everyday in agony and pain and you want to escape that, what if after taking your life you are faced with 10x that amount the pain,
is suicide just desperation?
is that why it’s worth it? Any single chance that the suffering could end?
so much desperation, so much pain.
people die everyday, people commit suicide everyday.
The world, life, humanity, is far from okay.
Death can wait.

I like this post. Yes to all of these. Speaking as someone who has felt that desperation, I know in the moment it seems like all there is. But if you can claw your way out of that hole, you’ll see there are other options. I still think about suicide every day, but I’m focusing on some of the other options first. Death can wait.
And what if you’re life is extremely terrible, you just can’t handle it anymore, then what are you supposed to do. Death seems like my one and only escape
Same. I was supposed to have killed myself 5 years ago. That was my biggest wish since a child. I know I’ve talked to you before, but could you tell me what I should do. Should I jump off a cliff or shoot myself wirh a shotgun shell. I got halfway to the cliff today walking but it took me 4 hours. Then my hip gave out and I couldn’t walk anymore
Did you post about the caffeine powder? I think I will try that to. When do you plan on taking it. I want to make sure if it doesn’t work before I try.. I’m sick of trying something and still being alive
It is not down to me or anyone else to dictate wether a person should or shouldn’t kill themselves or be allowed to,
What you are describing, at least in my opinion is what I covered above, a desperate attempt to escape pain or suffering from life.
And while suicide is often painted as an escape in our minds, we literally have 0 knowledge about what death means for us, just fantasies dreams and stories we built in our minds.
You can escape life, by living, as crazy as it might seem.
I am not saying that would be easy especially in a world like ours.
But there are other options even if you don’t think there is.
At the end of the day it ultimately is your life, I will not dictate how you choose to live or end it.
But I will say that Death can wait.
Suicide is a personal choice, I would say. It gives you the power to choose between life and death for yourself.
But what is death ?
Chances… Not good enough
