Discussion A better situation or do you still want to die?

[iblamethemfr]

For me, a better situation means another life entirely because I'm not wishing for minor changes or future improvements I wish everything about my life, down to the smallest detail was different and that would basically mean being someone else in another life that's why it's unachievable because it doesn't exist so i still wanna die

In an ideal and perfect world (which of course doesn't exist, nor will it ever), then yes, having a better situation as well as things that make sentience at least more enjoyable then I would stay longer. However, in the end, disease and infirmity still catches up and ultimately, I would still not be immune to the effects of such and would still rather go on my own terms rather than have a comfortable, yet dependent, and limited lifestyle. So a better situation means longer sentience, but doesn't mean that I would still never wish to die.

A better situation obviously but ctb is also that better situation

If it was a 'better' situation, then yes, I would have the desire to persevere. There are only a few things that would need to be different......
This would be if I had a child Or if I had a spouse that I knew I felt safe around. Then I would stick around no matter what.
Nothing about money, material things or whatever else. Just people in my life that I knew either depended on me or if I couldnt have that, then someone I could depend on without drama, betrayal, etc.

The first one is probably easier to achieve, but didnt happen in my life. Even though effort was put in to get this.
The second aspect is harder....because it means finding someone who is willing to do all that for me. Its a lot to ask for. And this has not happened either, even though I have tried to make things work with those in my life.
After awhile, you run out of time to make both these work. And this is what has happened to me. I ran out of time and options.

I want non-existence.

First, a "better situation" is pretty subjective. For me, a better situation is related to security. But with that, I'm always worrying about that security being fleeting. So, life isn't about happiness of contentment. It's about fear.

I want non-existence.

Yes, it just sometimes is a passive desire, not directly correlated to actually ctb or harming yourself. For me at least.

If my loved ones hadn't been murdered and were still around, and the few survivors weren't persecuted and still at risk of getting murdered, I'd stay as long as my body is still capable of keeping up the athletic performance. I wouldn't accept any physical decline, because that's the only little freedom I have while trapped in a human body.

I don't want non-existence. I want freedom, and to be reunited with my loved ones, who were nutrias. The only reason I'm still here is that there are a few survivors.
We could all be gone very soon though, due to murderous human speciesists - humans, who are the only ACTUAL "invasive species."

For me I'd never want to exist, I find it completely undesirable to exist in every way and all I want is to permanently cease existing, if it's up to me I'd choose to completely erase this existence so torturous and cruel so it's like I never suffered at all and for me existing will always be torture.

All I want is to be gone, to me existence will always be a mistake that just causes harm and suffering and for me it's so horrible and painful how the torture of existing can continue for decades longer with no limit as to how much agony one can feel just to face the terrible extreme torture of old age.

If a UBI was introduced then I wouldn't need to CTB. It'd be like a retirement for me. I'd just take up different hobbies and wait for my natural end.

I don't need anything to be good. I don't even care about happy. I just want to be free of poverty and social pressures.

 

[boyafraid]

If I was in a better situation, I probably would not want to ctb. If I did ctb, it would probably years from now.

I've made my peace. There's nothing more I want. A better situation would just grant me access to better methods.
