Discussion Do you believe that letting your life deteriorate will ultimately kill you?

[Fadeawaaaay]

I am pretty quickly deteriorating… I've stopped exercising and my walking has turned into a shuffle because all my muscles are so tight… And I'm eating badly… I'm sure things are beginning to fall apart… I think it's called passive suicide? Is anybody else letting themselves rot in hopes they'll somehow die ? Your arteries will clog? Your spirit will expire and your will to live wither? Your immunity will fail? Some illness will overtake you? Or your heart will just give out from sadness? I know it's just magical thinking but one can hope…

I'm thinking of the same thing. I'm tired of all these methods and the effort it takes to make sure they work, etc. I know for sure that not giving a damn about your health will in fact make you more prone to diseases and illnesses, but to the point of death? Maybe depending on the person, you could eventually catch a fetal disease or something like that.

As for the idea of the heart giving out from sadness, that one's a bit far fetched I think, but your feelings are understandable. Life is cruel.

Most likely it will just lead to a lot of pain and suffering imo. Until you can no longer take it and go to a hospital.

Even if you're able to clog your artieries, you're just as likely to get a stroke / end up a veggie as you are to die. The only reliable passive suicide is to not eat/drink but the way our bodies are wired makes even that incredibly hard. Evolution's crowning achievement. Pfft.

I'm definitely isolating myself more. I figured the less I interact with people leading up to my exit, the easier it'll be for them to take it.

I still hit the gym though, that isn't a social element for me in the sense I plug my music in and talk to nobody. I figured I still want to look good in my casket

My life's deterioted through addiction. I'm currently one month clean but I know one more relapse will be it for me but it'll lead me to ctb in a stupid drug fuelled way. Either painful or worse yet, a failed attempt leading to who knows what. I can't let that happen.

Now I remember why I got into self care & nutrition. Not to live longer... But because the body shuts down to survive longer with less... In agony. Vitamin c helps heal. But the poison in my home gives me nausea, can't eat, lost courage & will... Shame... I'm the one who fucked with cleaning chemicals... I gave up but it won't kill me, not fast enough...

I am going to buy "Sodium Nitrate For Gold Refining Reagent Grade 16 Ounces"

Is this good Sn?

Someone please give me advice

 

[y'ffre]

Unlikely. I mean yes but It takes time It could be easier to stop eating and much easier to stop drinking and eating both. But they are painful :/

 

[Antiquated]

Been inactive/sedentary for 15 years, my legs started giving me a lot a trouble 20 months ago, been scared of developing blood clots. I was using a training bike almost every day between January and July of this year to alleviate symptoms and reduce the chance of something bad happening. But then I caught covid which fucked me up mentally. Don't care about what might happen now, just trying to gather enough strength to off myself.

 

[rationaltake]

I totally relate to this.

My mother totally neglected herself for years. I don't even remember her ever possessing a toothbrush. She lived to 79 I think. It got to the stage where she was so filthy they used to put a cover over the chair she sat on. She lost her faculties and they stopped her smoking as she kept burning herself. And worse.

I'm mainly in bed and don't eat well. I do nothing. I fear ending up like her.

I know I'll have to take action. Passive suicide is a living hell.

 

[Life_and_Death]

ive had an ED since i was like 12, if i dont eat today i get bad kidney pains (that i tried to get medical help for but they turned me away because i have another health problem that prevents me from wearing a mask, literally left for dead by the medical system, when did i move to america), yeah if i dont start serious 100% recovery, its going to kill me

 

[FuneralCry]

Even if someone basically gives up on life, they are still programmed to survive. Our bodies are designed to keep us alive even if we basically die inside. There are so many people with horrific health conditions that don't kill them. Someone could still suffer for decades, so no to answer the question in the title.

I feel you in almost every way you stated. I've spent the last 3 days on the couch. Barely eating with no exercise at all. When I do eat it's crap food and I have clogged arteries with stents in them. Im hoping for a heart attack which I feel is coming. All I do is look forward to going to bed at 7pm. So no you aren't thinking wrong to think as you do.

 

[BandAddict]

Yes, I've taken up a sort of passive route for the time being. Not taking in much fluids at all, restricting food, stopped taking meds that were helping, letting me bully myself into oblivion. Spend a lot of time in bed but not sleeping much at all lately. Eventually something's gotta give, physically or mentally. Annoys me at how long this is going to take but progress is progress.

 

[hellispink]

No. I know a lot of people who live like that and they just live so many years regardless. Life is hell and a punishment. Those who usually get life threatening and ending diseases are the one that wanna live. But for someone that one's to die, very unlikely they will encounter that luck. I would never stay waiting for something that possibly won't happen. The body does everything to survive and suffering has not limits, it can hold a lot.
