Ask Lemmy

My partner and dog would be sad.

I don't have nearly enough credit card debt to annoy the cc companies when I die

Life is experienced only by those who live it. The thing that keeps me not going through with it, is literally FOMO. As much as life is filled with things that suck, and things that I hate, I know there is the very real possibility that something new will come along that I will have regretted not getting to experience.

When I remember the things that I have experienced since the time I tried to kill myself I'm high school, I am glad I didn't. I would've regretted not making the new friends I did, and meeting the love of my life, and all of the the great times I've had, even though the shitty times that drove me to the edge, still persisted.

When I remember the things that I have experienced since the time I tried to kill myself in college, I am glad I didn't. I would've seriously regretted missing out on the freedom of independent living, and the parties with friends, and precious memories I've made in that time.

When I remembered the time I tried to kill myself after loosing my 3rd job in a row, and hanging on the edge of poverty for just one too many times, I'm glad I didn't. I would of seriously regretted missing out on buying my first house, and never getting to meet my baby girls.

When I think now, that life is shit, and not worth continuing, I remember those past times and know that it was impossible to know what could've been ahead of me, and how glad I am I stuck around to find out. So I keep on struggling through, because I know that there's bound to be some unkown thing, at some unknown time, that I will definitely want to be around to see.

5meoDMT. Do it first then decide.

With the right attitude, you can find someone who will end it for you.

Losing someone to suicide sucks. I'm willing to bet there is at least one person in your life who would be sad (or perhaps devastated) if you suddenly died. Even if it means continuing on while unhappy, don't put that person through such an ordeal.

Depression is a temporary condition. It feels like it'll last forever and that life can never go back to the way it was, but that's not true. It might change you, and that change might be for the worse, but you can escape it. You can. It's hard, but it'll be worth once you're on the other side.

Start by seeking professional help. There are affordable (and, depending on your area, perhaps free) options out there. Then, change how your mind thinks. Don't let those thoughts rule you. Fight them! You can do it!

If you die there is no chance at things getting better in your life here.

If you are alive even if that chance is small there is a chance at things getting better.

It generates a ton of paperwork

You can always end it later, so stick around a little longer and see how things play out.

There are great cultural goods to be experienced. Also creating stuff feels good.

Food tastes good

Sunsets are awesome

Some people are worth being around

You might mess up the attempt and end up worse off than you are now
