How cruel does life have to be before someone commits suicide

[Darkover]

Lost body part
a chronic illness like cancer
Lost of a love one
Bed bound debilitated
Depression mental illness
Brain injury
Disability deformity

How bad must things get before someone kills themselves
Seems to me we can put up with just about anything and still not kill ourselves
These lives are absolutely dreadful yet I am still here wishing I was dead if only I had N right now ill be gone

Everyone has their breaking point. Some don't reach it.

 

[Obliviate]

I have reached my breaking point. I've had enough. Too much evil in this world. I can't take it anymore

Entirely depends on the person... Some people still find enough meaning in their lives to carry on when they have lost virtually everything. Others seem to want out despite (appearing) to have it all.

If you're talking about assisted suicide- the parameters seem very narrow. Same goes for the wider societies view on who should be allowed to kill themselves. Seems like: terminal illness, chronic pain, debhilitating mental illness (debatably) are considered 'good enough' reasons.

Individually though- it's up to you. If you CTB on your own- you get to decide what reason's are good enough. People may well judge you for it- certainly but if you succeed- you'll be dead and won't even know about it.

Each person is different and has a different attitude, if what happened to Stephen Hawking had happened to me I would never have reacted as he did.
Life is all about learning and I am a very bad student, I have been failing every subject for years. But it is clear that good students enjoy it very much and are not satisfied with just passing, they want the most they can get out of it.

Cada persona és diferent i te una actitud diferent, si a mi m'hagués passat el que li va passar a l'Stephen Hawking mai hagués reaccionat com ho va fer ell.
La vida és sobretot aprenentatge i jo sóc un molt mal alumne, fa anys que suspenc totes les assignatures. Però es evident que els bons estudiants la gaudeixen de valent i no es conformen amb aprobar, volen el màxim que en puguin extreure.

There is no, if only, for the ones who are ready.

Is N nitrogen or nembutal?

For me, I'm just about done with my chronic depression and also occasionally going to psychosis. It's too much.
I never acknowledged how for me the depression is debilitating. Or at least the extent to which it is debilitating. Nowadays, I treat it as if it was a missing leg, a bad liver and heart and a bunch of other things fucked up with me, because that's how it feels like. Like a physical ailment.

 

[Reallysad]

I'm near my breaking point help people out and getting treated like shit. Nobody cares anymore it's dog eat dog and I've had enough of it

 

[Meaninglessness]

If we all could die peacefully with a reliable method and the help of a physician, there would be no need for suicide discussions on the Internet. The absence of human euthanasia is the worst injustice in the modern society. Life is programmed to live so it takes extreme circumstances for us to commit suicide alone without the help of a doctor. The societies in most countries attach a very high price tag to life and shun death - no wonder people are afraid of death. Death is also the unknown and most people fear the unknown. Dying alone can be the worst with this situation - most people want someone to be there. But I believe that people think too much about death here on Sanctioned Suicide. One should write a list about the suicide method, prepare properly and just do it without brood over it. Would you rather suffer in a short death process or be tormented for decades until you die from old age? Death is only a part of life. Most people are not used to death.

I believe that all people want to commit suicide if they suffer from incurable and unbearable pain. Should people be tormented by health problems around-the-clock for years until they die from some age-related disease? How can someone want to sit disabled in a wheelchair for decades? How can people accept to be tormented in terminally illness for several years? These people have probably gotten used to their suffering and maybe they have much else to live for. People react differently in the same situation. Futhermore, most people don´t dare question the obvious - the ordinary citizen does like most others in the society. Suicide should only be prevented in the modern society - if you kill yourself you will do something bad. But some people may have stronger survival instinct than others, which may be the explanation why not everyone commits suicide.

Homelessness will be the end of me. I won't do a day of that shit, I'd never be able to pull myself out of it.

I have plagiocephaly quite a serious facial deformity and im still scared of killing myself even if i really want to be death. I could live life honestly if i could just go play video games all day long its the only thing that works by not thinking about it whole day long, but society pushes me to go to work wich really gives me serious anxiety and panic attacks. nobody likes to get stared at like a monster but doctors dont really seem to understand. right now im temporary handicapped for 3 months untill my group therapy ends, but if the doctors then still think i have a place in the normal working world then i will have no choice and have to kill myself. Its not like i really want to die its more like its the better choice. Also sucks to look like this and not being Asexual if you catch my vibe...

I tried suicide for the first time when I broke both my ankles, while I also at the same time was bedbound and in corona isolation at the hospital for 16 days. I then tried to suicide 5 more times last year when I was being abused by my ex to the point that I felt that I couldn't handle the physical and mental pain from that relationship anymore. I don't feel that I can keep living with all the trauma that he inflicted upon me because it has made my C-PTSD extremely much worse.

I so understand what you say. I am very sorry that you suffer so much.

 

[Szinuus]

I cant accept being prisoned in body that tortures me with chronic pain. It really is time to go.

 

[FuneralCry]

Just the very existence of life in this world is certainly enough to make me want to die. My thoughts of suicide are simply the natural response to being conscious and aware of the fact that I exist. I see life as being something so burdensome, so unnecessary, it's extreme cruelty for existing beings to be unfairly brought into this cycle of meaningless suffering that is a very unfortunate consequence of evolution. But sadly I'm still here.

The refusal to accept the value of voluntarily exiting this world is certainly what is a problem. Suicide should be as straightforward as just deciding to leave. Us humans deserve the option of an instant solution to all of the problems that this existence so unfairly brings and it's wrong how we are denied this. I believe that the difficulty, complications and risks involved in planning to die is the reason as to why so many continue to suffer, trapped in an existence not worth enduring. Those who manage to voluntarily find a way to exit in a world which stigmatises something so inevitable as death are to be admired.

As people have mentioned above, people have different breaking points. What pushes one person over the proverbial edge may be something another can handle. Life can be very cruel. I think alot depends on whether we have the tools to keep that cruelty at bay. Some do, but like alot of us here, we either never had the tools or just don't have the strength to use them anymore.

For me It has to be a mental/physical disease which is -
1. Irreversible
2. Chronic or progressive
3. Causes significant drop in quality of life.

OR

It has to be some situation where you are physically bound (like being kidnapped and shackled) and a disease meeting above criterias is 100% going to find you.

Point 3 has a lot of subjectivity and for someone a condition might cause "acceptable" drop in life quality, while some others would find it unbearable . That line will never be agreed on and will always be a gray area.
-----------------------------
IMO, No other reason (admittedly tragic) is worth taking your life be it poverty or loss of a loved one .

The inability to get into a career I want to work because of something I was born with, alongside a general dislike for how the modern world works. If I have to spend 2/3 of my total time alive working and sleeping, I don't see much difference in being alive or dead if the work I'm doing is mind numbing, then spending the remaining part of the day fulfilling your basic needs and alone. The great payoff to living like this for 40+ years? You're too old to do any of the things you wished you could do when you were younger and you're kept alive until you slowly die in a hospital bed full of pain killers because the doctors are too nice to let you die peacefully.

I also don't see the need for people that want to CTB to excessively justify why they want to CTB when people can carelessly bring people into the world with reckless abandon.
