What stops you from committing suicide?

Post Reply New Topic

My grandfather committed suicide on my 16th birthday.

The grief and despair this caused for my family was insurmountable. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
I couldn't put my brother through the pain again.

Lazy

Indecisive

I gotta say, even though life sucks sometimes, I'm glad to be living it. I'm grateful for food, drugs, music, porn, friends, video games, and computers.

I dont know how to do it quick enough so that i dont regret it and i dont know how to do it quick enough so i dont feel pain.

I'm too scared. I literally just don't have the courage to do it. But even if I did have the courage I am very concerned about the sorrow it would cause to the people who have been good to me and care about me.

Procrastination, demand avoidance.

My son.

^^^Bee, things change no matter what we do. all we can do is determine to stick around and experience the changes. and no matter who prematurely leaves us, there IS somebody else out there who will acutely feel the loss. even people right here on wrong planet. i for one beseech you to say "just for today, i am willing..." every morning, say "just for today," don't think about tomorrow, you aren't there yet- don't think about yesterday, you can't change it, you can only influence today.

Being too afraid of being dead. Death is forever. Once you're dead, you're dead, and you can't just change your mind and go back. You don't have a mind at all anymore, your body has ceased all functions.

My kids and family couldn't afford a funeral.
Even the basic kind where they burn me up and throw me to the birds.

1. My daughter
2. Knowing that I'll eventually die at some point anyway, so why not try and make something of the time I'm here.

However if I did contract a painful or degenerative terminal illness, I reserve the right to access euthanasia, which is legal here thankfully.

^^^that is a keeper

My Girlfriends sister attempted suicide by hanging herself with her blanket in a psyche hospital .Was found two hours later and revived ... At 23 yrs old .. After reviving ..mental age of six ...And could remember a good bit of how she was
more functional than before ..And that became the entire rest of her life . As retold to me by this woman.
Hec of a memory to live with . You do not hear about the results of unsuccessful " S " attempts. And the damage to their bodies they must live with .Afterwards ....But when my time comes, i serious doubt that I would sqawk about it .
But , gotta say after prior experiences ..did a aweful lot soul searching ...and not being happy about it ..Years of P-doc help ...Close call almost with a ECT after ongoing medical suggestions ! Much talk therapy ..But am still here ,Alive and well as my damaged body allows ...Which is much better than I could of possible hoped for.l
""Still Alive and Well , every now and then , its alittle hard to tell, but I am still alive and well."""
Been crushed, expected to die or permanently wheelchair bound and a veggie if I survived . So much nerve pain
iCannot verbally relate it .On and off , from spinal cord damage to the spine ,when crushed ,1 week comatose,3 weeks total paralyses, And all the life long stuff that comes from body crush injury.Head injury . Loss of use of left dominant hand, but everyday might be a new day..Things change, they always do ,law of the universe,this was only parts of life
experience thhat were not pretty
