I honestly don’t have any reason to live, other than watching good movies and eating forbidden foods I shouldn’t be eating. I would off myself if I had a good reliable way to go. But since I don’t, I’m forced to live. I’m sick (physically), lots of health problems, I’m middle-age so I shouldn’t be sick but I am. And it’s only going to get worse over time. Anyway, I have no family, friends. My only “friend” is the internet and that’s where I spend all my time. Pretty sad, yes.
I don’t have any reason to live. What other reasons are there? I can’t think of any. Spare me the god-heaven-hell-sin spiel, or the “things will get better” spiel. Maybe if you’re healthy, but I’m not. What other reason do I have to keep going? (besides being forced to)

Family?
My living situation is very different than yours yet I still seek the answer to the same question. I wish I knew more than just we are expected to live until we have organ failure. How goes it with inspection anyway?
Oh sorry I just read no family and friends. You have us, the members of sp
Life just seems to get in the way of progress. Or something like that.
I see no meaning in human life. Nor my own.
I don’t really know what to say.
I don’t know -nor am I asking to know because it’s your private business- how incapacitating your illness is.
Personally, I draw the line at the point where an illness would rob me of my freedom and physical autonomy to an extent that is intolerable to me.
Else, sick or not sick, we are all dying. We are all in a perpetual state of decay until the day we die.
My view is : either i find something to live for or something to die for, if I want to give some direction to my life that is.
Not doing that puts me in a state of limbo and indecision. Not ready to die, don’t want to live.
So, Either I walk towards death or death walks towards me. There are no other alternatives
Human life has no more intrinsic value than that of any other species of animals. It’s just that with our consciousness, we’ve inflated the sense of value of our own lives. The universe doesn’t care.
Why live? For me, it’s the best current alternative.
When the time comes, I shall look at death in the eyes and take my own life.
How painful it is doesn’t matter much.
Fear? I’ve never seen people more peaceful than when they’ve decided to die and are ready.
Why live? Only you can answer that for yourself.
Despite all the circumstances, What matters to you?
Curious of your m3th od ?
It’s a Small consolation but it is nice for me to come back to sp and see some familiar screen names.
Sorry about your health
I feel like stories like yours legitimizes the desire to die. Much more so than say my woe is me, feelin sorry for myself, anxiety stricken life
