  • Hey Guest,

    Today, OFCOM launched an official investigation into Sanctioned Suicide under the UK’s Online Safety Act. This has already made headlines across the UK.

    This is a clear and unprecedented overreach by a foreign regulator against a U.S.-based platform. We reject this interference and will be defending the site’s existence and mission.

    In addition to our public response, we are currently seeking legal representation to ensure the best possible defense in this matter. If you are a lawyer or know of one who may be able to assist, please contact us at [email protected].

Fear of death (or non-existance) is a fear of terminaly losing consciousness, which is a product of aware working brain. If you go to sleep, you are in non-existing state for a few hours, which is not a bad feeling. No brain=no consciousness.

True.
The argument is not on that.

The point I am trying to make here is that unconsiosness is scary because it's ETERNAL.
Meaning it will NEVER end.
Not after a billion.
Not after a trillion.
Not even after

Solipsism might be our answer.

For example: what if the only events that happen are the ones that I directly experience?
This way, the world began when I was born and it will end when I die. Then I will wake up to my true nature, which is God, and do whatever I want.

Again, before you were born it was not eternal because you were eventually born.

After it will be eternal.
Because you are not going to be born again.

The Rig Veda says there is an afterlife. The Bible says there is an afterlife. The Geets says there is an afterlife. The Quran says there is an afterlife. Budhdhist scriptures also talk about afterlife.

That depends, in part, on one's religious beliefs.
Some believe there is an afterlife and they'll be back sooner than later.

That's a wonderful perspective to one of my biggest fears. I often feel like this world is not real and you are all actors. Some days I could swear by that.

I used to be scared of dying and would have endless questions and doubts about it— hoping that our souls would find a better place somewhere and etc.

Now, I don't care to contemplate what happens after I die or if I'll live on. I just don't care.

If I don't exist? That's cool.
And if I get reincarnated? That's cool too.

And if there's an afterlife where spirits float around and stuff? That's cool too and I hope my spirit leaves trails of sparkles and shit.

But if there's an afterlife where suicide is a "sin" and I'm going to suffer for my choices from the physical world, well, I would be pretty fucking angry.

But ultimately I'm more concerned with not leaving a mess when I'm dead.

If I believed in an afterlife I wouldn't commit suicide, the idea of continued consciousness sounds like absolute torture. I believe death is my only release.

I would like add remark we are all family here if we follow through with CTB maybe we will see eachother on the other side maybe not that is unknown we will have eachother maybe, maybe not our mind will lurk this earth for decades and it will all be one big dream who knows? I do not care to stick around and find out. My death be only thing brings me happiness. I think this question is silly in remarks of commiting suicide we do not want to exist on this planet anymore we want our pain and suffering to leave our body in search of something greater in the after life

To me, it does not matter. If there is an afterlife, then great. If death is like a never ending deep sleep, that's fine too. We are all frightened of the unknown to some degree.

Yeah, that's why we are here. Genetically programmed to survive and exist. It takes time to overcome and be at peace with your decision. That's why I'm still here, still working things through, it's a tough road to travel at times.

Pretty sure the spirit can't die only the body, but I guess I could be wrong. If your spirit came from somewhere to incarnate in a human body, why would there be nothing after death, makes no sense to me. I just hope God can forgive me if/when I do decide to end it.

Afraid, yes. But I also find it comforting once I'm gone I'll not have to deal with anything ever again.

I'm not afraid of something that is as natural as living. EVERYTHING dies, it is just part of life. As soon as you realise that death is not separate from life you stop worrying about the unknown - at least that's how I feel.
