i don't view it as a solution, I feel cornered and pushed to do it, I'm hopelessly looking for a need to escape my situation, yet at the same time i don't even know where i am heading, its scary and contradictory, i feel forced to die but i dont want to. uncertainty in this life and uncertainty after death.. i just cant accept it as solution

For me personally, i believe it is the better option. As the only way to attend a complete peace of mind is to be dead, ctb is imo the only solution to get there faster.
I find it revolting that most people can't understand that some people just don't want to deal with all the problems that life brings

I think 'Not being alive' is a solution if one wishes to avoid life and its further sufferings.

However, suicide itself can be messy, traumatic and faulty — Assisted Dying or Euthanasia would absolutely be better alternatives to suicide.

Though as long as those remain unavailable, there isn't much other choice for those who do not wish to exist.

Suicide is a means to an end, it's just not a particularly ideal avenue.

The old addage among pro-lifers is that suicide is "a permanent solution to a temporary problem", so...

To actually address the question though, I view it less as a solution to a problem(s) and more as relinquishing problems and solutions altogether. The human experience can be summed up as finding solutions to problems, which in turn creates more problems, which garners way to more solutions, and so on. An example: you want to own a home, but you can't afford one. A solution to this would be to work more to earn more money; let's say that you do this, and you're able to purchase this home. With this, you have "solved" your original problem (that being home ownership), but now you've created additional problems with that solution. You now have to maintain those hours you were working to purchase that home, as well as having to pay for upkeep and now having to do additional chores to maintain that home. This is what being human is all about, the cycle of problems/solutions.

With suicide, you are getting rid of problems and solutions for yourself entirely. You won't be around to create or perceive additional problems (outside of the aftermath of your death, of course), nor will you be able to provide solutions for any problems. I think you can argue that this in fact is the ultimate solution, but it doesn't necessarily solve anything in and of itself. If you're in debt and you CTB, that debt doesn't resolve itself, it gets passed along to someone else. You simply just are not present for the problem/solution cycle.

I don't know if any of this makes sense, apologies if this comes across as metaphysical nonsense. I just don't think something like this has a clear-cut answer. Maybe the absence of problems and solutions is in itself a solution, I can't really say, but I don't think it's as cut and dry as people might make it out to be.

Well for me, i think it's a choice that everyone should've but only do that if there's nothing can be improve anymore, like other users said, it wouldn't solve your problem, in my eye, the problem would still be in there but it's a good option to run away from everything (albeit with the consequence of unable to came back to life forever). The circumstance after we death is still a mystery, some people believe in nothing, heaven and hell or reincarnation, if i view suicide as an problem slover, then i still have to deal with this probability i mentioned so i dont think that will solve my problem, who knows that im gonna face a new problem.

Regardless of what im saying, if i found life to be too unbearable, the yea probably im going to take my change in ctb, embracing the mystery behind death

In my case it is. Suicide will mean no more financial stress for my family. It will mean peace and quiet. I am an embarrasment for my parents, a disgrace for my wife and a rotten male model for my kids. I know that by dying, things will improve in their lives.
I guess it depends on each person. My particular case is one where suicide definitely is a solution

I agree with you I don't think suicide is a solution to anything.

But it's not about solving problems either in my mind it's about preventing myself from the risk of experiencing more unnecessary problems.

So much of my suffering is unnecessary and suffering doesn't build my character it just robs and tortures me.

I hope people can see that and understand it one day when I am dead and gone.

I think that ctb is a sort of solution to the misery, constant striving of being. If you're dreams are dead, etc, there's nothing to live for but misery.

It is the absolute solution to everything. The origin of all problems is existence.

I disagree with calling it a choice for MYSELF.
People call us who attempted and who have successfully passed selfish because of this 'decision' we made.

But to me it's not a choice.
I don't want to CTB. I want to live a happy life , get married , have kids,...

But I am tired. I don't have much more energy to give , to fight. I simply can't keep living this life. It's too hard. I'm forced to end this existence.

i used to but my perspectives changed on suicide and life completely now.

we don't know what's after death. all we have rn is this life and we're bound to die one day anyway. we just try to rush the process when we're in too much pain to bear.

realizing that all i have is this life set me free. there's SO much in this world. so many people, so many places, so many animals, so many planets, so many different things going on right now but our pain feels so intense it takes over. existence itself is so intricate and beautiful when we take a moment to appreciate it. from as small as how atoms work to the solar system. there's so many things we like and enjoy in life but it's just hard to appreciate it with how much we're suffering.

when i finally accepted that i was done with life, i did whatever me happy for a while, no matter how random or small it was. it was so much easier when i wasn't bound by past memories or fears. i had nothing to lose or gain and finally felt free allowing myself to just experience things.

that obviously didn't fix all my problems right away but accepting that i'll die soon anyways and i can make the most of rn changed a lot for me. i started to understand that's the only point in life and over time, i learned how much control i actually have over the life i'm experiencing. there's effective ways to handle every difficult situation, feeling, or thought. all ur progress adds up overtime and we can change our mindset over literally everything.

we're all bound for death. nothing matters except a living life that's meaningful. life is all we know rn so why not make the most while we're here

yes. the problem would be the experience of a terrible life, and suicide would rid one of that problem.
