A couple things:
1. would never finish my model railroad
2. would probably disappoint my wife
3. my cat was rescued from near death, would be mean to him
4. would no longer be able to annoy my daughter-in-law

Because it is the ultimate solution to every problem in the eyes of somebody depressed, no more sadness. Death is the ultimate painkiller. It releives you for eternity.

Howver i will not kill myself because my dog is my saviour. It sounds crazy but my dog greets me every day like I'm an icecream cone or something, like i'm the center of the universe, when everyone else has deserted me to do fun things with less sad people.

Zoloft. Seriously. I skirt the edge but it keeps me from slipping over it. Also I have a friend with AS that is really counting on me to mentor him.

I have been asked this question a few times recently and get to understand better the reasons:

1. The main reason (or the reason that I am prepared to give when I am asked by someone whose intention is to take me off to Pialla if I answer honestly) is that I don't want to upset my mum. My church, my dad and brother, I don't care, but my mum has done her best to care for me in difficult circumstances. I don't want to upset her.
2. The inconvenience. The method I have chosen involves a significant amount of preparation, and, not that I am necessarily scared of the brief pain, but that if for whatever reason it doesn't happen correctly, it will be a sticky situation

However having said that, although I don't want my mum to suffer, it has become increasingly apparent that, should my mum die or become too frail to look after me (she is now 64 with numerous health problems), I am not in a position to get back up into a normal life, I have been without a regular employment for years, worsening physical health, less social ability and prospects of finding a wife, etc, and watching me live like this for five, ten more years, realising that my life would be doomed when she dies, actually constitutes a worse suffering on her, than if I kill myself now, let her have some closure, and get on with her life without me

Hi again, Mosto. I STRONGLY disagree that your mother would suffer more from watching you live than from seeing you dead. As a mother of two children myself, I can think of NOTHING worse than trying to cope with the death of one of them. Especially as your mother is 64 and in poor health, losing you so tragically could very well shorten her life and would certainly cause her terrible emotional pain- and doesn't she already suffer from depression? She would feel that she had failed you and would probably blame herself- mothers always tend to feel responsible for their children, whatever their age. Please don't even CONSIDER making such a terrible decision because you think your mum would be better off- believe me, she would NOT be. Jenny

Family, citalopram, and strong hobbies. Without them, I'd be as good as dead.

Frankly, in the past I've found suicidal thoughts just mean it's time for a change, scary as it might be. I've come to recognize the fear of change as a sign that more positive times may be ahead, once the panic is over.

I may be, but I'm also a strange one. (I suspect I may also have an addiction, but still at the obsession stage.) The main reason for that obsession is because I think it will make me feel more mature, as I feel like I'm 12-15 years old most of the time, so for me, it's a passage into adulthood.

Because I'm only a rubber doll, and not a person, but made for someone's pleasure and enjoyment. Another reason I see here to continue living is to be everyone's buttmonkey. To make them laugh at how pathetic and stupid I am. To bring a smile to their face like that is my job.

determination and morality really. I'm anhedonic so I can't really enjoy life, to be honest it scares the hell out of me, moreso than death, because that's inevitable. And I wouldn't do that to my parents, it would tear my family apart :(

Right now, not a lot. Mostly, my dog. I'll settle for a "little suicide" - aka extra pills - just to escape. Things are in motion to help me, but it's been years waiting in line and I'm not about to do a happy dance until something actually happens.

What keeps me from offing myself?

Well, the all time number one reason is my sponsor child in India, Roni Roy. I started supporting her when she was 8, and soon she's gonna be 15! Wow, what a milestone for her...and when she tells me that she loves me, and that she'll never forget me, that makes me cry with joy, knowing I made a difference in her life. ^_^

Second Reason - to out live my a**hole father. (like you couldn't see that one coming, lol)

Third reason - that every B+W episode of the 60's era of Doctor who is finally rediscovered!
