Are you being forced to stay?

[Ominira]

Hey,

I want to know your experience with being forced to stay here. We all are wanting to jump out of the rat wheel and just go our own way, but a lot of us are being forced to stay because of family, friends, or even just our own survival instinct..

Please list your reasons below. My reason is the fact that my mom made me throw away my full bag of Nitrite & said she would die if I died. Her anxiety has been immensely increased since my suicide attempt this year.. I guess I'm staying because of her & the fact that I screwed up the only chance I had at a peaceful death. Now, I'm forced into a painful one..

I'd love to hear your stories. Thank you.

When I was younger, I had been mostly kept here by the thought of how my sisters would react if I died, especially if they were the ones to find my body, but after I moved out I've been constantly trying to use auto-hypnosis to keep myself from thinking about that.... unsuccessfully. Though it has helped me to at least not be as affected by my care for them when it comes to ctb; of course I'll make sure to not let them be the ones to find my body. now, I'm only limited by the lack of funds and resources to acquire the materials necessary for my preferred method. However, I'll soon be forced to move back in with them, and they'll help (more like force) me to get another job, and since I won't be paying rent (for a couple months) and most of them will be at school now... Well, I'll either succeed with using my strongest ligature string + hyperventilation-induced syncope to help with partial before then, or move back in with them and purchase a rope once I have enough funds, so really I'm only kept here by time.

Damn, I've never thought about auto-hypnosis as a tactic, but you said it hasn't really been helping. I believe it's most likely always a financial & spiritual struggle that prevents us from going out peacefully. I really hope you can find the materials & the strength to go through with it. I've been in an NDE & it was the most amazing experience until I woke up.

Wow, the fact that he's holding that over your head. They call us selfish for wanting to die, but they're the selfish ones for forcing us to live a life we hate.

I feel trapped by si more than anything.

I've been forcing myself to stay. My family don't know the extent of what I feel although, it must be obvious I'm miserable.

I do feel like having children is creating a codependent relationship where- not only are we dependent on them- to begin with at the very least, we also end up having to do all sorts of things we may not want to- not to hurt or disappoint them. Including staying alive!

Whether they actually do try to emotionally blackmail us or not- that bond is there (hopefully- even worse in some ways, if it's not) and we know what it will do to them to break it. It just feels like such a mannipulative thing to do to someone. I've grown very antinatilist as I've aged.

Obviously, that's not the ideal of course! I'm sure their hope was that we will have enjoyed our lives. Cherished our bond with them. Been grateful for the experience of life and, all they did for us.

Truthfully, my reality feels more like, they sort of did it with love but, not much sense. My Mum was diagnosed with quite a serious cancer at the same time of conceiving. I wished they'd thought things through better. Not only for them but, for me. The reality of a parent dying. The possible problems of being raised by others. But, I just think parenthood was something they were so intent to experience that they just ignored all of that.

It aggravates me generally though. Children aren't accessories or emotional crutches. It really annoys me- the whole- they bring purpose to someone else's life. What about them though? What happens when they grow up too? Most of us are expected to work. Whether we like the life we're working for or not. I'm just so tired of living and working to appease others.
