I would just pull something like out of breaking bad before resorting to ending it.

Honestly, I am absolutely certain that there is nothing after death.
The idea of anything existing after it seems so strange, magical and artificial that it is hard to belief, though I do see the appeal.
Logic behind my conclusion
Eventually (and this is an assertion on my part), we will gain the knowledge necessary for robots to be roughly as ‘intelligent’ as man.
We know how these robots operate; we know that the phenomenon that they will exhibit known as “intelligence” is purely mechanical.
We are almost certain that, when turned off, just like computers now, their functions will stop, and so will this intelligence. After all, its intelligence is a feature, not some metaphysical entity/experience.
If this phenomenon can be explained perfectly with only physical objects, then it is highly likely that that’s all there is to it.
=========================================================================
However, even if that weren’t the case, because the fear of ceasing to exist is the strongest one I have, literally any afterlife is better than it. Even the eternal lake of fire one.
Therefore, even if I were wrong, I would be better off.
Besides, even in real life we have to bet whether we will experience good or bad things. Existence is a gamble. There’s always the [quit] button, but as far as most people currently playing know, you don’t come back from that.
Living is gambling in its purest form, and everyone, like a desperate tenant drowning in debt, is forced to participate, risking eviction if they choose not to. Some are evicted without warning, some eventually get tired and leave of their own free will. Some get their money stolen from, and are unable to continue paying. Some don’t even get to start paying.
We will never know if we made the right call to keep playing until our final moments.

for real though
I haven’t found my ideal way to do it
edit for a little more elaboration?: I had an idea on how I want my end to be, but I don’t have the method/the things needed for this ‘perfect ending’. So yeah, I either hope to die by natural causes or by this perfect death I’ve been looking for.
And no, I’m not elaborating on this perfect death idea.

For now, it’s my close friends and my girlfriend keeping me around, I can’t just leave after all that we’ve done for each other-
That thinking won’t last me forever though, I honestly don’t see myself still being around in even just a year from now

Hoo boi this is gonna get deep because I’ve actually attempted suicide before.
Although I’m religious, a part of me doubted if I could actually go to hell, since there’s no real evidence that a heaven and a hell exist. I theorized that there were 3 possibilities: Heaven/Hell, a dark black void where you sit for eternity, or paradise. A friend of mine believed in the dark black void, and said that sometimes she wanted to just go to sleep and not wake up again, something that I can relate to.
When I was about to kill myself, I wanted to do it out of both curiosity and chronic depression. Just like most teens, I saw myself as a failüre and that I could never hold a candle to those who are more artistic, intelligent, athletic, etc. My reasoning was that commoners like me are very expendable, easy to replace, and only matter if we exist in large numbers. After all, if I murder myself, I’ll never have to deal with the stressful school assignments and shit ever again. I’ll finally be at peace for 5 goddamn minutes, I said to myself. Also I wanted to see whatever laid behind my life on Earth, was it really heaven/hell? Or is it something better?
It may sound odd, but this is real talk after all. I see suicide as something that is justified and understandable (unless people do it for a delusional reason like a cult). I see it as the last ditch-resort and when everything goes to shit, this is Plan Z. You end your life with a bang, showing that you’ve fought your own battles, lost, and admit defeat. Not saying that people should openly murder themselves often, but just that if someone kills themselves, they must’ve have a darn good reason to do so.
I only lived because of something holding me back, probably all of the things that I realized I will be abandoning. “Damn, I’ll never be able to finish all of Daniel Craig’s James Bond films,” things like that. I pulled away eventually, and my depression got better over time.
But if my life is broken beyond repair, I won’t hesitate. I see death as just a way to close a chapter, no fear or scare. It’s just a transition, often painful, but there’s ways to make it not hurt at all. And the pain is always temporary. What comes after death? That’s where I stop to think.

My logic is similar to please’s.
I don’t believe in an afterlife. I want to get the most out of life, since I only have 1 before nonexistence. No matter how hard life can be, life is better than nothing.
If you think this way, I guess no one can really stop you. However, if everything in your life is ruined at some point, I encourage you to at least seek help or a therapist before ending it, resting assured that the end is an option and there is no urgency.
I may try to act paranoid and defensive saying that “they only do this for the money” or “the only way they help is getting me to swallow some pills.” Although I may just see a therapist either way because it never hurts to try.
Thanks for the feedback, though
Arguably, the reverse can be applied
Nothing could be better than life
Tbh, I don’t know… but it has gotten to the point where I made a list of ‘attempted’ suicides and the dates they happened, thank goodness there hasn’t been any after the time I first made it (late February).
I might still hold on due to the after effects of it on other people and/or that I can’t physically hurt anyone intentionally, even myself.

of course it is
what were you expecting?
i dont exist in the first place ez
it’s simply life lol, just makes ya wanna keep on living and see what you can do
also the thought’s never crossed my mind
Idk man, sometimes I feel like my life is worthless and nobody would care if I was gone. Then I go eat chocolate and it makes me feel better. But honestly, I don’t want to die a virgin
why kill yourself now?
you’ll die anyways, might as well go through life while you’re at it
besides, suicide is instant hell for my religion since in it, disregard for life will lead to damnation, including disregard for one’s own life
so ye
