Discussion How many of us here on SS will be still be here in a few years

[sweet_oblivion]

I wonder how many of us here on SS will still be here in a few years time. Most of are either at our breaking point or already broken, only waiting to ctb to either tie up loose ends or out of fear. I guess this is just morbid curiosity and there would be know real way to know, but I can't help wondering if it will get better for some people, if they will look back on this time of their life and be glad that they made it through.
I mean somehow I doubt that will be me and I know that will be the case for many others who are just too far gone, but there must be a few who will survive this.

Less than zero chance I'll still be here years from now

 

[Talvikki]

Not a snowball's chance in hell.

 

[texas_yellow_rose]

Oh goodness I really hope not. Not like this

 

[its-about-time]

In a few years I hope to be either dead or in a mentality where I'm trying to be better and am no longer on this site.

 

[Judy Garland]

No, I'll be long dead by then. My time is coming soon :-D

 

[quix77]

I would seriously doubt i would be around.

 

[SuicidallyCurious]

Could give it a few more but if someone mysteriously delivered N to me I would imbibe

 

[Huntfish34]

Good question,. I have no fucking idea if I will or not. I suppose it all depends with life on life's terms for me. Maybe I can gather some hope...... Or be Shot downn to absolute shit.. Who knows. -

 

[FuneralCry]

I probably will still be alive. I am trapped in this world as suicide is so difficult for me, there is the lack of peaceful and reliable way to exit and the fear of failure. More than anything I wish that it was easier to leave this world, I deserve to pass away peacefully. It is so depressing that it is so hard to die. My worst nightmare is having to suffer like this for decades. Things will never get better for me. Life is only suffering after all. Maybe eventually things will get much worse and at that point I will get desperate enough to leave.

 

[Hurt]

I hope to be dead (in peace) in a few years. Done with this non sense life.

 

[Achlys]

Currently haphazardly trying to stay for another two years. At the moment, I doubt I'll make it that far, nor am I certain I want to.

Feeling this way for so many years has undoubtedly warped my views on suicide and death. I've heard others express gratitude that they hadn't taken their lives when they were suicidal, but I don't think I could blame myself for taking my life even were a life of happiness somewhere in my future.

 

[Al Cappella]

No way in hell. I already wonder why I'm here, and feel I don't really belong. If I'm sticking around then I'll get on with it and move along…

 

[PrisonBreak]

I'm just waiting for that one moment, where I will say "enough is enough". It will happen any day from now.

 

[Starylain001]

Not a chance. My body is turning into autoimmune prison. It will be otherwise ctb or lonely psych ward death. I will eat myself up.

 

[adesertrose]

If I see my future and notice that I'm still on this website, I'll just CTB right after. What's the point ? The only thing that's keeping me from doing it right now is the tiny tiny hope that it's gonna be better one day (and it's decreasing every day)...

 

[downndone2]

Currently, my plan is mar 2023. And it 8s agonizing

 

[Ligottian]

When it gets bad enough it gets bad enough.

 

[FallingGrace]

My date isn't until mid-late 2024 so I'll be around unless anything extreme happens

 

[come to dust]

I WISH I'd be dead by then but every time I get close I chicken out because of irrational survival instinct anxiety.

 

[motel rooms]

I wonder how many of us here on SS will still be here in a few years time. (...) but there must be a few who will survive this.

A lot of us will still be (at least technically) alive in a few years' time, trust me. Not as many SS members ctb as those who are still relatively new to this place think.

 

[locked*n*loaded]

I would say most. For exactly the reason "motel rooms" said. I don't plan to be. A year, maybe. Three, no. Most here are just easing the burden on their shit-hole lives, if even for a moment. It's solace. It's comforting. It relieves their misery for a bit.

 

[WorthlessTrash]

Not me. I'm determined to die by the end of the year. If something drastic changes in my life and i end up missing the bus, i might pop on here to console people. More likely than not, i won't so enjoy my posts while you can :^)

 

[Intelligent_Panic99]

Not it. My day is set. 92 days and counting. ( I already have N. I'd go sooner, but I can't.)

I have to live for four years because my sister's college tuition (financial aid) is dependent on me being enrolled in university simultaneously. It is absolutely heartbreaking. I was planning on catching the bus already but I have to stick around. For consolation, I committed to my dream university yesterday - an Ivy. Yet, I don't want to be here despite my immense amount of privilege.

 

[freedompass]

In all honesty I'm probably not ready to check out just yet. Currently trying to recover some pleasure in life by reaching out socially and trying to do things I enjoyed before this prolonged hopeless phase began about ten years ago. I plan to wait out my elderly mother at the very least. Obviously I still hate the idea of getting (even) older but I am taking a damage limitation approach because at the end of the day the reality of ctb may suck even more…

 

[ineedtoctb]

My life got way to messed up I have no choice but to ctb.

 

[stupid little girl]

Possibly me. My date to ctb is far, far in advance as I'm at least going to try to give life a chance. But it seems no matter how my life is going I always find myself coming back here lol. However, if something life-destroying happened soon then I'll probably leave early and won't be on this site in a few years.

 

[Tarantula Girl]

I will be unless if my husband died suddenly. Got to many pets that i can't just leave behind. Plus time flies by to fast in my life. Before i know it 'years' will be tomorrow

 

[Releasefrompressure]

I know this is a great place and helpful. But I can not see how being on a suicide forum for a prolonged period of time could be helpful in anyway.

The methods are there, the information is there. After a set point there are no more questions to be asked.

Being around people who are depressed all day and going through crisis can never be a good thing, i don't believe in misery loves company theory. I think misery breeds misery.

I would say as a general rule, anyone who has been on here more than couple of months unless they are holding out for a set date, they are not going to die.

They should either post in recovery or abandon this place. There is no way that people should just read threads about death all day, i can't see this as helpful. It just is escapism when clearly they aren't going to commit suicide.

I'm just waiting for that one moment, where I will say "enough is enough". It will happen any day from now.

Sorry to say this will never happen. There is no such thing as a perfect timing or perfect farewell. If you want to die in your heart of hearts you would of come to accept this. One thing would not push you off the edge.
