The word hell is a loaded term. I believe in a hell that is a hybrid form from Buddhism, and Christianity.

Umm so I guess Im the only person here truly terrified by hell? Im trying to convert back to christianity and its not because I believe in god really, its because I want to escape eternal damnation. Nobody has come back from the dead to tell others if hell exists. I can never be sure if the ultimate punishment exists.Id rather suffer 60 more years in a lonely ass life full of misery and depression than suffer my flesh melting off my body over and over again for eternity. Especially the fire part. I fear fire so much I cant turn on the stove or light a cigarette

Nicely put. Hell exists on this earth in the form of the most extreme suffering. There is no evidence to suggest it's an actual realm somewhere else.

I hate to rain on your parade but you'll have a lot of converting to do to cover all your bases: there are many religions that claim that suicide is a sin for which some sort of hell is in order.
What do you imagine this hell that terrifies you so much is like?
I can think of a thousand things in this life that have terrified me far more than a vague and silly religious concept of hell as a physical location. It's religious nonsense. Utter crap. Use your common sense.
And the flesh part? For goodness sake! When I get cremated I'm counting on the flesh melting off my body or else I want a refund.

If you don't have a body you can't be harmed or hurt, not even by the flames of oblivion. Therefore no need to be terrified of hell.

I personally am a Christian, and honestly hell doesn't scare me. I've accepted that I'm a garbage human and deserve nothing other than to go there. I see it like a purifying fire, which is one of the main ctb methods I've thought about.
The fires of Hell are great in winter, but they're a bugger in the heat of summer....
Christianity has really worked for you...

I'm not scared by it. I'm currently an agnostic, but if I were religious I'd be a maltheist, a person which believes that the world was created by an inherently evil god that thrives on seeing his creations suffering, and what makes them think that I'd like to spend the eternity with a god like that and all of his followers? That would be a form of eternal torture by itself. I'd rather go to hell, thank you. At least there are interesting people there. Of course, I don't believe in that bullshit.

How come you believe in eternal damnation without being a believer in some religion, so much that you need to convert back to a religion to save you from a thing you shouldn't even believe in to begin with. I have issues understanding your way of thinking.
Garbage human by which standards? Maybe your way of seeing it is the one thing in the wrong.

As a recovering Christian, I can tell you they are full of shit. Christianity at it's core is the believe that only people who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior will be "saved" from hell. Reference good ole John 3:16. If the are telling you you are going to hell because you're committing suicide, then they don't know their own faith. No where in the new testament does it say anyone who kills themselves is going to hell simply because of Suicide.
A biblical scholar might argue that"blasphemy against the spirit" condemns you to hell and that suicide is that blasphemy. But that is definitely an opinion not formed by the Bible. In fact, the new testament even provides examples of "martyr" who went to their own deaths willingly to spread Christianity. Isn't THAT suicide as well??!! (They'll argue it's different, but then, it always is, with those people)
Ok. I've ranted enough. Back to imagining my own death..

I hear all the time "if you kill yourself you're going to hell"
But something deep inside of me, sort of like an instinct tells me that's not true. Something tells me that god would understand our suffering

Most religions are set up like a business that wants to have more faithful followers. Procreation and not dying are key elements in that strategy.

When I was a teenager & attempted suicide for the first time, one of my sisters started going on about how I'd end up in hell. I've always believed that this is hell, this never ending black pit of despair and pain I've been forced to live with for my entire life ( I just turned 50 recently). I never wanted to live this long. The only thing that kept me here was my husband who died of cancer 2 years ago this month. I hope I end up in heaven or whatever you wish to call it where I am reunited with my loved ones, but if I don't, I'll be happy to enjoy the nothingness. Or, if there is a real hell (which I highly doubt) at least I won't be here anymore. The only only thing I really don't want to do is be reincarnated and have to live here all over again. Anything else I can deal with.

IMHO reincarnation was not meant to be like you incarnate as a another new human. IMHO the Buddha meant that through thinking the same thoughts in the mind every day personality, issues etc. get recreated (reincarnated) and the wheel of suffering continues. But I am not a Buddhist! I love the Buddha very much.
In today India the reincarnation thingie is more used to control others. Like some Christians use hell to try to control others.
Hell? I am already there.
People created the fear and illusion of hell in afterlife to not have kamikaze/suicidal attacks on them /revenge nor having mass suicides to handle.
Puppets are no good if they fight and bite until their last breath, are they?
Why do you think all the supposed punishments are reserved upon the afterlife and not before?
To get people not doing shit to them while expecting an entity will do justice for them once they die, to calm the populace.
Add that the fact creator designed illness that predetermined our death by suicide which is what that entity wants.

Heaven and hell are states of consciousness. I actually think this is an interesting video that speaks on this topic.

1. I'm too lazy to Google it, but as I recall hell wasn't even a part of Christianity or the bible until the 17th century.
2. Judas hung himself after he ratted on Christ.
