Discussion 50 reasons "not" to kill yourself

[ImSorryEmma]

Some pic I found that mentions 50 reasons "not" to kill yourself. Some of these I do agree with and others are just plain stupid really



I'd figure I'd share this for you guys to see how some people are at least trying to help us but at the same time are not. I don't know what do you guys think?

 

[Talpa]

I won't even bother reading the list to completion, I can tell it's just your usual ignorant platitudes from people that never went through the same shit.

 

[Oblivion Lover]

Yeah, most of them are really stupid, and I have arguments against every one of them that remotely make sense:

1-My family is responsible for all of my suffering for creating me. I owe them nothing. Plus, why only their pain matters and not mine?
2-I don't have any friends, and if I did, they would just have to understand it. As said above, why only their pain would matter and not mine?
4-Meh, I don't really have an obligation or the will to help others. In the end you'll only get disappointed, after all they're humans.
5-How could you know?
8-No thanks. I'm not going to contribute with the cycle of suffering by having kids.
15-That's called wishful thinking. I'd rather not be delusional like you (the person who wrote that).
18-I'm still going to do that in the day before I CTB, and as far as I'm concerned that's not a good thing.
27-As much as that sounds fun, that's no reason enough to stay alive.
28-Too much work. I get tired only from thinking how difficult it would be.
29-My dreams are too unrealistic and will never become true.
36-I wouldn't save someone's life even if they were my worst enemy.
41-I'm not really scarred by anything except trying to beat the God of war's challenge of the gods over and over. Whoever designed that mini game is a sadistic freak.
49-Love is just a chemically induced ecstasy created by evolution to improve breeding and survival odds. Nothing special on that.
50-What beauty? All I can see around me is suffering, competition, cruelty, death, lots of unfulfilled dreams, stupidity, and so on.

Did I really waste my time writing this?

"Remember, Your life matters." It's simple math: 8 billion - 1. Tell me how exactly that matters?

 

[Kikoo Loool]

40: I'll meet a long distance friend to ctb together

 

[BldRnr1]

Dumbest post I have seen so far.

 

[Soulless_Angel]

yea , Just NO on every level ... I hate this self righteous bullshit

 

[Fr2]

The 42
But seriously, almost all of them

If I reincarnate, I wish it would be in such a life, where I would think and believe and feel all that. I hope though I'll have parents intelligent enough for me to catch the habit of never giving advice.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA this made me laugh. The person who came up with these 50 reasons is seriously deluded. This whole planet is a disgusting sewer -- a giant meat grinder that tortures sentient beings for the only purpose of passing on a silly genetic code. At least I laughed for 10 seconds after reading the 50 reasons.

 

[Deleted member 4288]

LMAO this made me lose A LOT of brain cells.

Also WTF happened to reason 43 and 44? Shouldn't it be 48 reasons to whatever? Am I wrong or what?

 

[k75]

LOL
I noticed that too. At the very least, it's an extremely sloppy presentation. If they can't be bothered to take care making the damn thing, how can they expect anyone to take it seriously?

Half of those reasons are just plain silly. The rest... Meh. The only ones I found compelling are the first two. I'm well aware, and am struggling with that reality.

The one about the scars healing and things getting better kind of pissed me off, to be honest. MY scars will never heal, and they're a big part of why I'm in this mess to begin with. I can't live with them, things aren't getting better, and it's absurd to make blanket statements like that. Just makes me feel worse.

The thing about making art struck a nerve, as well. I'm an artist who can't art anymore. Thanks for rubbing that in, helpful internet list maker!

Have a family! Watch the birth of your baby! Been there, done that... Epic fail.

So basically, I found half of it dumb, and at least a quarter of it reminded me of why I can't go on much longer. Super helpful.

*puke*

 

[DreamCatcher]

Lists like these made by people that have zero understanding of what life is like for other people. Every single reason here is worthless if your life is just pain and suffering. This is zero help for someone truly suffering.

Every item on the list just makes me think if I would have CTB two decades ago the exact same things would apply. Waiting didn't do any good and even crossing things off of the list didn't help at all.

Those who are living need to leave the dead alone. We just want to go in peace, stop treating us like we're broken and can be fixed just because we're done playing this stupid game of life.

 

[LittleJem]

My reasons currently:
- I don't want to hurt my family (but if I continue having no quality of life, I have made it clear to them and also to my friends that I don't want to endure this on an ongoing basis - I am firmly pro-choice when it comes to suicide, I believe everyone should have the right to die and to choose to die)
- I haven't tried every single drug out there for depression (though I am feeling increasingly that nothing will work, I have tried 2 or 3 meds, lots of psychedelic remedies, weed, natural remedies - and the more nothing works, the more hopeless I feel)
- I am worried that the next life (I believe in reincarnation) will be worse than this one - as there is just so much suffering out there, and my suffering is a drop in the ocean of suffering
- I have medication that is working sporadically - so I am not as desperately and consistently depressed as I have been, I do get the odd day off

As a person with depression, I can want to die:
- at a festival (where I was the past few days)
- on a beach
- with my family
- wiht my friends

So nothing really makes a difference, it is where my mental health is at.

If I decide to CTB, I will have decided that in this current incarnation, I no longer want to endure suffering.

That's all.

 

[RedPanda]

Lol, my brain is so messed up that i can't see any writing or my brain chooses not to read anything from that list. I have zero reasons to live, just enjoying my life while i can until next year.

Oh yeah and the smell of PINE TREES def makes me not want to CTB. Let me smell pine trees, that is the cure to my mental issues lol.

 

[Thanatos]

As much as I dont agree with this post it's no attack against the OP at all, however you should check out the recovery thread for a better reaction

 

[Ko9]

''The feeling of snow falling.'' ... no.

 

[Rocksandsand]

All these things seem to be contingent on the ability to feel and experience joy.

I haven't enjoyed ANYTHING for over a year. A year ago my depression hit a new level and the anhedonia is actually what's pushing me over. Seeing a list of things that I can't enjoy or feel anything for is just icing on the depression cake.

 

[First loss]

This it is, and nothing more.

I read a few of them and you are completely right it´s the same old bullshit we have heard a million times before.

I hear you I don´t have depression anymore I have apathy and anhedonia too so seeing all these things I will never be able to do also because of physical problems is just kicking a person that is already down.

With my physical problems (handicaps) alone this thread is just like telling a person without legs to finish a marathon.

100%. When I see stuff like this it just adds to the bitterness of not feeling happy ever. For instance, I can barely stand music most of the time (except when I am high). It's only been a thing since I got really depressed - beyond depressed - but I can't fucking stand music anymore. It's just annoying background sounds now.

Similar to everything else on this list. It's all just annoying background shit. The smell of pine? Yep cool I smell pine and I still want to die.

I think the author of this probably means well, but like a lot of stuff in this day and age, it's just a net for Facebook likes kind of deal, hoping that this list will be a decent substitute for really trying to get in to the granular detail of solving the mental health problems we have.
And to address the final point, yes we do matter, but just about all of us cannot make that work, so we're fucked.

I love you brothers and sisters, I hope you find peace.

What has this forum coming to?

I can so relate to this! For some time now I find music just loud and annoying although I still listen to it sometimes but for the most part I think it´s just noisy.

Btw I used to listen to music sometimes 1½ hours in a row just to relax but now even music has lost its touch and quite frankly I might it boring even the music I used to love, it´s just so trivial and boring like life itself is now. Everything is the same over and over again and it´s so fucking boring.

 

[Jolene40]

This crap makes me so angry. It will get better? Will someone tell me when my destroyed nervous system, brain function, bowels and ability to eat solid food will return? It makes me furious. I heard a silly girl once say committing suicide was cowardess. I have never heard such nonsense ever. To overcome SI and kill yourself when all you really probably want is to live a life free ftom torture is the bravest thing I think any one could do.

 

[shelledone]

Even #39 does not help. A very small portion of otherwise dreary, endless days. I've been waiting on #41 for a long time. If I would be allowed to donate organs to CTB, #36 could happen. #31? GIVE ME A BREAK! (#40 huh? Might as well write "meet your imaginary friends")

 

[Pupuce]

As long as you don't believe in afterlife, none of those matters.
#1 and #8 are just so stupid together.
#18, technically you still see them for the last time.
But some of them are so full of shit, like #5 #19 #20 #21 #28 #50 , they are just possibilities that might never come not certainties.
#41 seriously...
#47 the same guys are going to tell you life is unfair and you can't anything about it.

"Remember, Your life matters." It's simple math: 8 billion - 1. Tell me how exactly that matters?

You are made of matter. That's the best answer i can get.

 

[Codieb1]

1 - My family never cared about me in the first place
2 - I have no friends in the first place
3 - I can tell my story now? If it was even worth telling
4 - Tried helping other people. Makes them entitled and selfish.
5 - This is nothing more than a blind assumption
6 - Who implied I ever wanted to travel the world?
7 - I've never been an artistic person?
8 - Why is "Have" capitalised? I've never wanted to have kids.
9 - I don't even like music
10 - concerts make me want to kill myself, and again no friends...
11 - Ah yes procrastination. Death renders that invalid anyway.
12 - ditto, plus again I don't like music
13 - dittoooo
14 - I... Don't like books?
15 - Hoo boy at 15 and already running out of ideas?
16 - don't have any idols...
17 - Again with the book thing? I don't like books
18 - Last time? Are they dying? Ah yes losing a loved one will sure make me stop being suicidal
19 - Kinda creepy and I don't want a baby
20 - Probably a valid point for anyone tbh. I'll give a point.
21 - God no I don't want fame. Attention makes me want to die more.
22 - Don't have any passions. Generally this is why people stay alive though, so take a point
23 - Right cause tens of thousands of those aren't enough already
24 - uh two polar opposite points in one line, huh. Hate parties and I always stay at home, so uhh?
25 - I spent most of my life literally living IN a pine forest. Kinda sick of that
26 - staying alive just to feel... Snow. Right, okay
27 - lmao this makes you a stuck up cunt if you live JUST to prove people wrong
28 - Like survival instinct?
29 - I literally don't dream... And wasn't this basically the "passion" point used earlier?
30 - I... I don't think I do make others happy
31 - Literally what? I've been alone for over a decade
32 - fuck people, man. More friends is more drama.
33 - Not sure what you're even trying to say. Me for me is a suicidal idiot with no personality.
34 - don't even remember the last time I had genuine hugs and kisses
35 - Day is day, be live plz yes good
36 - Killing myself could also save lives.
37 - I mean... It's pretty fucking stuck right now. There's not much of an "around" at all
38 - I mean if you want to kill yourself because you forgot clouds and stars exist, you probably weren't suicidal in the first place
39 - Food. Right. Mere procrastination tactic
40 - I only have one long distance friend and even that's out of the realm of possibility.... Sigh
41 - scars, by definition, are things that do not heal
42 - I feel like this was said already, and it wasn't true the first time
45 - uh what happened to 43 and 44? But yeah I have no intention to make a difference
46 - this is the fame thing again. no thanks.
47 - ohhh boy that's a rabbit hole
48 - Again, don't want kids...
49 - Bleh. Probably.
50 - Life is truly hideous and ignorance is the only beauty.

In conclusion, this was definitely made by an extroverted female attention whore who completely lacks any empathy and understanding of other people, and has very likely never been genuinely suicidal. The problem lies where pretty much all of these are subjective and don't actually apply to everyone, and very few are even able to apply to introverts at all

did you seriously take the time to reply to everyone of the numbers ... I got too 3 before I was bored and brain switched off!
No offence meant btw!
