So we all know that depression is common. Almost everyone gets it once. And it can last from a week to the entirety of their life. So of course with depression comes suicidal thoughts. So to the people that went through it before. What’s keeping you from ending your life rn?
For me it’s literally cuz I got a ton of shit I don’t want to miss out on. What about you?
Welp. Every time I consider it it’s mostly cause I feel like i’ve contributed nothing and every time I do anything I just make it worse. Than I get people who make me feel like I did something useful for them.
So I guess just being me.
i’ve had the thought cross my mind as a possibility, but nothing more than a joke
i kinda suck at making big decisions, and there’s no turning back.
My religion. If you end it you go to hell. Also I realise that even though things suck it could always be worse.
the thought that living is better than dying.
experiencing something is better than experiencing nothing at all.
i know some people will bring up some exceptions, but honestly those don’t count because in order for those exceptions to even apply the person will have to be in a distorted state of mind.
i want to be god so bad. must be nice not being bombarded by uncertainty and fear of one’s own tomorrow. must be really nice to not have to worry about anything.
it won’t happen though. if the abrahamic god is the true god, then he probably sees my desire as a threat to his supremacy. and even if he didn’t, it wouldn’t be the same. the god experience can only be complete if i’m the only god. that second statement applies to every other conceivable god.
the fact that my friends and family will feel guilty, sadness or regret
Not really a depressed person, but I put some thought into this. I don’t wanna end it all cause of other people. It wouldn’t be fair to go and die and leave other people sad. Its like thinking if I die that’s the solution to my problem. Sure It might be but you complicate things for others and put them in a state of depression too.
Loved ones and fear
The thought always crosses my head every once in awhile but knowing how much everyone I know and care about would be affected by it keeps me from going forward with it, it’s not worth it to end your own suffering just so that other people would have suffer. And I’m scared of the unknown, I don’t know if there’s an actual paridise above the sky or torture waiting for me below. I don’t want to be trapped in a dead body, stuck forever in the ground, or just wander alone in endless darkness
My take on this is.
If someone ends their life. They were obviously going through something they kept the blame on themselves for. So if they killed themselves they probably thought it was for the best.
Even if their families sad about it they think they can get over it. Because to them it always felt like they would die and everything would stay the same.
They think too big. That’s how they die.
cheese.
no but seriously the real reason is because I have no reason to die.
Like why end it if I don’t need to?
I don’t think I ever had a depression so…
Like everything in my life has been going well up to this date, especially school, and since I basically only do school stuff and play games in my free time, that’s all I need
Why would this be your problem if you were dead?
Also dying is obviously going to be the solution to your problem regardless of what the problem is. You’re dead. Whatever was bothering you can not bother you anymore. There. Problem solved.
People get depressed over a lot of things. Those that dare to love should be very well aware of the risks of doing so. What about if you had died a normal but sudden death like in a car accident? They’d be equally depressed, yes? This wouldn’t be your fault, right?
Just like the car accident, people getting depressed is not a choice.
(also if you’re going to say that they wouldn’t be equally depressed if you died of an accident because they couldn’t possibly have done anything about that one but could’ve in a suicide, then their doubt is their problem, too. they as the living get a chance to get over it)
i probably shouldn’t say so i’ll just read y’all’s
Your right. But people still think about these things. Not everyone that is contemplating suicide is dead. Some people think about the positive things and hopefully get better. Irl I’m not a very selfish person and I am often very sympathetic. This changes the way I see my death.
No reason tbh
though, thinking about some work, guild, game that’s incomplete will really fuck with any thought
AKA: basically can’t suicide
I see what you mean.
same
It is not necessarily a matter of selflessness in my case. I like my family, but I tend to undervalue myself, so my thought process is that if I were to die now (I haven’t hit my 20’s yet, won’t in a while), then they have literal decades to get over it.
They will cope. If they can not cope, then that’s unfortunate, but so are a lot of things in the world. I am not so exceptional that my role can not be filled by any other human being, I hope. If it is the case that I am so important to a single living human being on this earth, then I feel sorry for them even now that I am alive.
In curious to see the future of the world, no matter how shitty, and there is a lot I want to do and see, I’m scared of what will come with death, I don’t wanna bet it’s something good or bad, so I might as well not
